Consensus of sportswriters
and sportscasters participating
in specisl Associated Press
rnvaM lest week was that
Medford will win the 1960
tourniment. They were asked
to name the probable top five
finishers in order. They chose:
1. Medford
. Marshfield
9. Klamath Falls
4. Hermiston
5. South Eugene
Pirate, Tornado Final
Consensus, as seen from
the above order, is that Med
ford and Marshfield, occu
pants of the bottom and top
brackets, respectively will
meat in the championship
fame. It was the general opin
ion that Klamath Falls will
lose to Marshfield in the semi
finals, that Medford will get
by Hermiston in the second
round and that South Eugene

opening game but go on

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.

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. Still another, pos
sibly a Portland partisan and
making a sentimental choice,
thinks Jefferson and Cleve
land will meet for the title.
Season statistics show Med"
ford with the season's . top
scoring marks among the 16
tourney entries. Its 1550
points and 70.5 average for 22
games compare to the second
high effort, by Marshfield,
1348 and 64.2 for 21 contests.
Jesuit has the low total score

porter of the proposed San
tiam river project. Oregon
Congressmen currently seek
planning funds for the dam.

Detroit dam to Douglas Mc
Kay dam.

winner and an all-star team
selected from the remainder
of the teams.
First half openers have Eu

Fleishman said the league

make it economically feasible.

Charlie Warren, in placing

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.
