St. Louis Jets Cards 5 United Press International The Chicago Cardinals, old 3Kt club in the National Foot- 11 League, were on their y to St. Louis today in a major franchise transfer that rtduced the Windy City to a ne team town. The league last week unani mously approved moving the franchise to St. Louis effective for the 1960 season provided two conditons were worked out by April 2. These called for a satisfac tory stadium lease and ar ranging of television contracts for a St. Louis team, both ex pected to be concluded well before the date set for the transfer. Movement of the Cardinal franchise to St. Louis had been rumored in advance of the winter meeting and denied by managing director Walter Wolfner who had to obtain unanimous consent of the oth gr 12 clubs to bring the switch before the league directors. The league in a move to bring in St. Louis, as well as open up the blacked out Chi cago market to television, agreed to compensate the Cardinals with S500.000 for expenses involved in the transfer.

GLOGSTON'S Metal Weather Stripping and Screens Estimates Gladly Phone SPV1014 Evenings A Monday, March 1 4, 1 960 Naturally, some of the so called experts disagreed with the consensus. Some of the 16 men polled see Marshfield beating Medford. Another picks Hermiston over Marsh field in the final. Another fig ures South Salem will reach the title game and will beat Marshfield.

Neu berger dam after the late Democratic senator. Neuberger was a strong sup porter of the proposed San tiam river project. Oregon Congressmen currently seek planning funds for the dam.

But a current bill would change the name of Detroit dam to Douglas Mc Kay dam.

First half openers have Eu gene at Salem, Tri-City at Yakima, and Wenatchee at Lewiston. Fleishman said the league is discussing the possibility of adding Medford and Klamath Falls next year.

A-2 Tourney Underway At Coos Bay Coos Bay - (UPI) - The class A-2 high school basketball tournament got underway this afternoon with eight teams seeking the title which Mac-Hi won last year.

(UPI Telephoto) California After Second NCA Title Seattle -(UPD- The California Golden Bears were two vic tories away from their second straight national title today after wrapping up the Far Western Regional NCAA championship here Saturday night. To grab off another nation al crown for Coach Pete Newell, California would have to beat Oscar Robertson-powered Cincinnati and either Ohio State or New York Uni versity in the NCAA semi finals and finals Friday and Saturday at San Francisco. The Bears' next two games are expected to be much tougher than the three they won while sweeping through the Western Regionals. Cali fornia used its pressing de fense and methodical scoring patterns to roll past Oregon, 70-49, Saturday night for the regional crown. In like fash ion, the Bears whipped Santa Clara, 69-49, Friday in the Western semis and earlier they stopped Idaho State col lege, 71-44, in the first round of the western event. Newell, who will retire from coaching at the end of the season and move up to the athletic directorship at Cal, chewed on a towel as usual and worried his way through the tourney here although the Bears very rarely showed signs of being in trouble. However, on Friday night United Press International's coach of the year may have to put in some earnest chew ing and worrying as his forces tangle with Robertson and company in the semi - final round. Newell hopes to answer the challenge of All - American Oscar with an Ail-American of his own, 6-10 Darrall Im hoff, who displayed his bas ketball talents effectively here. Imhoff played only about half the game against Oregon and still managed to pump in 18 points and pull down 12 rebounds. - As good as Imhoff looked here, much of the spotlight was stolen by Chuck Rask, Oregon's dandy playmaker who engineered the Ducks' 65-54 upset win over Utah in the Western- semis Friday. Rask followed up his work against Utah with a 15-point night against Cal's stiff de fenses. Utah rallied Saturday night to take an 89-81 game from Santa Clara. This was small consolation for Utah coach Jack Gardner who four times in the past five years has tak en highly rated teams into regional tournaments only to lose the first night.
