Top Infield
Pat McLoughlin and Herb
Wheeler are letter-winning
pitchers back along with An
derson. Ray Konopasek, m-
fielder, and Wayne Thompson
and Mike Parsons, outfielders,
are players who saw quite a
bit of duty.
The two Deans, Durkee and
Konopasek have been infield
regulars for two years and
Kovenz rates the crew as one
of the best infields in the
state. 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

Gary Cummings paced the

Steve Hoots had 10 for the
Lushes. The eventual champs
lagged 15 to 16 at the half
but forged on top 31 to 19 in
the third quarter.
The Studs took third place
in the playoffs with a 27 to 13
win over the Bachelors, who
claimed fourth spot. All four
semi-finalist teams were from
the Afternoon league.
Watusies won from the
Maynards 51 to 29 and from
the Studs 27 to 24 to get to
the final. The Lushes licked
the Fun Five 60 to 26 and the
Bachelors 34 to 17. In their

22nd contingent to represent
Medford in the hoop classic,
the most colorful event of the
state's prep sports year. 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

Quinney could start in place
of Shults or Dean.

McNeeley, 198, bulled his

in the 10th and final round.
The first knockdown resulted
in a mandatory eight count
but there was no count on the
second.
McNeeley was a slight un

probably because of his lack
of experience in comparison

"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. '
"Go go" boys Luis Aparicio
and Jim Landis both scored on
an outfield fly in the first in
ning to put the White Sox in
front, 2-0. Al Smith also
starred for the American
League champions, driving in
four runs with a triple and a
single.
Musial Doubles
The Cardinals, who have
lost two of their three exhibi
tion games, had something to
cheer about when Stan Mu
sial doubled off Pierce in the
sixth inning to drive in St.
Louis' last run.
. Garcia had only a 3-6 sec
ord for the Indians last sea
son but Lopez says the one
time 20-game winning right
hander could be an important
addition to his bullpen corps.
The White Sox already have
