Ray Konopasek, m- fielder, and Wayne Thompson and Mike Parsons, outfielders, are players who saw quite a bit of duty.

Ragsdale, Quinney and Ray Stewart are expected to back them up.. Catchers are Jensen, Barry and Art Ruhl. Jensen caught regularly as a sophomore and saw much duty in the outfield last year. Barry also can play the outfield and Ander son, when not pitching, Thompson, Parsons, Ragsdale, Ken Adams and Bob Con stance are others ticketed for outfield service.

They face a man-sized task. For in the Oregon cage extravagan za, while upsets are not the rule, they are not exceptions either. Medford teams have just twice won the state dia dem, in 1924 and 1929. They have been in the finals on four other occasions, in 1928, 1939, 1955 and 1956. The Black Tornado aggre gation went north ambitious to add luster to Medford laurels and improve on its 1959 showing. Last March the Tornado fell to St. Helens in the consolation finals and fin ished eighth in the tourney standings. Some six members of the Medford squad are back for a second effort. Frank Roelandt, who coach ed the club to conference hon ors, summed up the team atti tude when he said, "We'll give it a good try." Roelandt likely will call upon Anderson, Shults, Low ell Dean, "Ragsdale and Dur kee as his starting five but Quinney could start in place of Shults or Dean. Those likely to- open for Coach Jerry Dadey's Jesuit Crusaders are Bernie Albers, Billy Wehrly, Bruce Moore, Tim Gearin and Ramon De Martini. BOWLING KIWANIS JR. HIGH LEAGUE Standings: w. L.

Mass., slugger chalked up his 17th consecutive victory in a 21-month pro career Monday night, beating veteran Willi Besmanoff, 195, of Milwau kee, Wis., at the Garden.

ICY. 86 PROOF 72.5 "We think Mike has a lot left in him," said Lopez after the 36-year-old "bear" spun three score-less innings in an 8-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals Monday. "And his first real outing of the spring certainly didn't do anything to discourage us." Wyhn Hit Hard Garcia s performance was especially impressive be cause it came after 22-game winner Early Wynn was racked up in a three-run third-inning rally and 14 game winner Billy Pierce also was roughed up by the Cardi nals. Big Mike took over the score 7-4 and slammed down the lid on the Cardinals the remainder of the distance.
