g MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Or. A Md, March 18, 1960 anks Worried Over antle's Bad Knee Y 8ft m By TIM MORIARTY United Press International Althought they won't admit it, the New York Yankees are becoming increasingly con cerned over Mickey Mantle's chronic knee trouble. The slugging outfielder pull up with a badly inflamed right knee at the Yankees' St. Pet ersburg, Fla., training camp Thursday and was taken to a hospital for X-rays. "There are no bone chips but the knee is inflamed and there is some fluid in there," said Dr. Sidney Gaynor, the team physician, who advised Mantle to "take it easy" for a few days. Mantle has had trouble with the same knee since the 1951 World Series when he ripped the inner cartilage so severely he had to undergo an opera tic.

May Be Hobbled While Mickey's current plight wasn't judged too seri ous, there is always the pos sibility the knee may hobble him more this year than in the past -and that's what has the Yankees worried. Manager Casey Stengel ful ly realizes that in order for the Yankees to bounce back from their surprising third place finish last year they will need a healthy Mantle in their lineup every day. Thus far this spring, the former champs have looked woefully weak at the plate -scoring only seven runs in losing three of their first five exhibition games. They col lected only two hits in a 3-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox Tuesday and were limited to three safeties in a 1-0 victory over the Washington Senators Wednesday. Hypru Bowler Under rx If OSIS KOMS 115 Straight Reno (UPD A novice bowler rolled his 115th continuous game over a 52-hour period at 6 a.m. today under the influ ence of hypnosis and was still going strong. Dale Anderson, 27, Reno garage employe, had bowled only two games before in his life, according to hypnotist Baron Von Brenner. He switched to his left hand Thursday -after his right one became swollen. His present game average was 110. Von Brenner said he hoped to keep the marathon going for 120 hours, but he said if the physician who examines Anderson every few hours says he should quit the game will be called off immediatly. Von Brenner said, "I am trying to prove hypnosis can help athletes in all kinds of games, both for a better per formance and for more endurance."

A total of 19,059 fans at tended eight games breaking the Thursday attendance mark of 18,670 set in 1956. The crowd Thursday night was 8.503 as South Salem disposed of South Eugene 59-53 and Medford continued unchecked, blasting St. Helen's 80-51. In afternoon title-round ac tion big Mel Counts poured in 29 points as Marshfield down ed Portland champion and third-ranked Cleveland 71-57 and Klamath Falls clobbered a short Lake Oswego team 81-59. Four Teams Out The four losers in the above games went into the fight for fifth place with - Cleveland playing Oswego and South Eugene meeting St. Helens in afternoon games. Albany, Sandy, Beaverton and Jesuit were knocked out of the tournament. David Douglas, 46-45 winner over Albany, met La Grande, 55-50 victor over Sandy in one morning consolation game to day. Jefferson, 73-65 winner over Beaverton, played Herm iston, 54-38 victor over Jesu it, in the other. The big question today was: Who's going to stop Counts? The-6-9 Marshfield center had 21 points at halftime of the game with Cleveland even though he was pulled for a rest with more than two min utes left. He added eight more before fouling out in the sec ond half. Despite defeat, Cleveland's Warren Newell was terrific, getting 25 points and hitting 11 of 14 field goals. That was even better than (founts, who had 11 for 16 from the field and 7 for 7 from the foul line. Medford, out to set a new tournament scoring record, had a 43-16 lead over St. Helens at halftime. The Black Tornado, which passed Marsh field in the UPI poll late in the season, got 17 points from Jerry Anderson, a dozen each from reserves Bob Quinney and Booth Deakins and scor ing from seven others. Lanny Myers of St. Helens had 22. Brack Salem Star If Medford averages 70 points in its final two games it will break the all-time scor ing record of 294 set in 1953 by The Dalles. Klamath Fall, whose only hex all season has been Med ford, had far too much height for Lake Oswego. Bruce Brickner had 16 and Paul Bishop 14 for the winners, but Rod Young, hot-shooting Os wego ace, canned 28 points. For South Salem, again it was Jay Brack, a 5-10 guard who came through. Brack scored 24 points in Wednes day's win over Jefferson and added 20 Thursday night in the 59-53 victory over South Eugene, closest of the quarter final round. Brack had five buckets in the last five min utes. South Eugene led at half time 30-29. Sandy Nosier hit 24 points in a losing cause! Mel Counts Leads A-l Pcinf Race McArthur Court. University of Oregon Mel Counts, the talented 6-10 Marshfield cen ter, took over the scoring lead in the Oregon high school basketball tournament here Thursday with 52 points through the second round. Rod Young, the accurate shooting Lake Oswego guard was in second place with 50, while Medford's Jerry Ander son, the first round leader, slipped to third place with 47 points. Three players, Ed Hoffman of Sandy, Warren Newell of Cleveland and Jay Brack of South Salem tied for the fourth spot with 44 each. All of the leaders were shooting with amazing accu racy, ranging from the .667 average of La Grande's Buck Corey (12 to 18) downward to better than 40 per cent for the "poorest" mark. Bo Blair of South Eugene continued to lead the rebound ers with 34, followed closely by Counts with 33 and Corey with 28.

The potent Black Tornado thundered over St. Helens 80 to 51 here in a quarterfinal scrap. Tonight the Big Wind of southern Oregon engages South Salem in a skirmish for a Saturday night finale berth. The Saxons of South Salem last night rallied from seven points behind to overcome South Eugene's Axemen team 59 to 53. Medford and the Saxons clash at 8:45 p.m. after Klam ath Falls and Marshfield con tend for the other finals spot. ' j ,. , vi,j. it. r.. into and 78 to 47 Tornado victory Thursday attoned for a 1959 defeat. It was the Lions of St. Helens who last year bopped Med ford in the consolation trophy conflict of this big school cage classic. Had last night's Tornado Lion halves been turned around had they played the last one first, a real battle might have developed. But the sharp-firing, fine play making Medfordites so domi nated the first two quarters that the eventual outcome was certain when the midway sig nal blared. With Jerry Anderson, Booth Deakins and Bob Quin ney spearheading the point making assault and Quinney and Anderson sparking Tor nado play under the boards, Medford commanded in all departments of the game. The Tornadoes cashed in on 30 of 65 field gunning attempts for a blazing .469 averaged while St. Helens hit just .310 on 18 of 58. At the free toss line, Medford made an amazing 20 of 21 tries. The Lions connect ed on 15 or 28. Dominate Boards The Southern Oregon con ference champs, who gave the TYV loop few good close in shooting opportunities but hit frequently at short range themselves, led the team re bounding 46 to 18. ' St. Helens did have the in dividual leaders. Lanny Myers, expert with the long push shot, swished the net on 11 of 22 attempts for a total of 22 points and Bruce Rhine pulled down 11 of his team's rebound retrieves. Anderson had 17 points for Medford and Quinney and Deakins each 12. Rhyne got 14 count ers for his Lion gang. Quin ney cleared the backboard 10 times for Medford and handy Andy nine. The Lions, representing District 4, stayed with the District 6 titlists for just 2Vz minutes. Medford, never be hind, headed 7 to 5 after that much action. Then a pair of three point plays got the Tor nado on its way. Anderson and Lowell Dean each were fouled while in the act of shooting and each made his field goal and added the gift pointer. Ragsdale Tallies Ragsdale helped the surge with four free shots and a field basket. Quinney added a tip in and Perry Shults a pusher with IV2 minutes left in the opening quarter, Med ford was 23 to 5 in charge. Bob Nichols ended the Lion dry spell with a charity shot but Andy hit a rebounder and Lowell Dean countered off a Shults feed and the score when the period ended was 27 to 6. In the second quarter the Tornado continued to widen. With four field goals followed by three pairs of free mark ers it boosted its lead to 30 points at 41 to 11 and the canto still had V minutes to go. Halftime score was 43 to 16. - During the early part of the third stanza, Medford's powerhouse upped its margin to 31 points at 49 to 18 and 51 to 20. Then, St. Helens, catching stride far too late, surged to outscore the Tor nado 17 to 16 in the period which ended with Medford leading 59 to 33. The final canto was fairly closely fought with the 'Tornado edge in point production 21 to 18. Medford again got 31-point spreads at 74 to 43, 76 to 45 Petersburg Tournament Rained Out St. Petersburg, Fla. - (LTD -Tourney officials hope to start the delayed St. Petersburg men's open golf tournament today, but there is a chance more rain might cause anoth er postponement. The 515,000 event, the 25th annual open here, had been scheduled to get under way with a field of the nation's leading professional golfers Thursday. It was the victim of a siege of severe weather that began Tuesday. The course at the Lakewood Country Club was saturated, and puddles were standing all along the 6,232 yard layout. The tournament committee voted to postpone the first round until today, with the last round of the 72-hole tour nament to be played Monday. Tougher Foes St. Helens on the basis of past tourney efforts had been expected to present the fa vored Tornado with a sterner tangle. Instead it was the sec ond straight easy tourney test for the Medfordites, who were rated Oregon's No. 1 prep club in the final regular season polls. Here in Eugene, however, those polls don't mean a thing. And from now on, the fine polished Medford club will anticipate more rugged going. It'll be up against a scrap ping club tonight in South Salem. The Saxons trailed South Eugene 35 to 42 in the third period but cut the deficit to 41 to 44 by the end of the quarter. They caught up at 46-all halfway through the last stanza. Ties 48 and 50- each followed. A Nick Carter free toss made it 51 to 50 for South Eugene. Then Jay Brack's push from the side put the Saxons, with 2SA minutes to play, on top 52 to 51 and South Salem stayed in front. Ed Maerz added two free throws for the Capitol city team and Bo Blair dittoed for Eugene for 54 to 53. With just over IV2 minutes to vie, Brack put in a jump from the slot. Loren Seitz contributed a free marker but missed his second attempt. Charles Hud kins put in the rebound for the final standing of 59 to 53. Salem scored the first bucket of the game but fell behind right after that and never got ahead until the 52 to 51 score. It was frequent ly just one point back but could not muster punch until the end. Free shots, 19 to 7, made the difference. Ed Maerz had 21 points for South Salem and Jay Brack 20 while Sandy Nosier put in 24 for the Axemen. Two Tags On Steelhead Portland - In April of 1958 a marked steelhead released from the Alsea hatchery put on its "walking shoes" - or should we say swimming fins -and went to sea. Early in February of this i year the seagoing traveller J returned to the racks at the Alsea station, and except for j an additional mark of a small metal tag, showed no ill ef-. fects from its two-year and at least 3.000-mile trek into the salt chuck. The odyssey of this wander-1 ing steelhead was reported to j the game commission by Bill j Royce, director of the Uni- i versity of Washington's fish eries research institute. Royce said the steelhead mi- I pratprl as far north as the open sea off Kodiak Island in the Gulf of Alaska. It was captured by a Washington re search crew about 75 miles southwest o f the island in September of 1958, five months after its release date and some 1,500 miles' as the crow flies from its release point at the Alsea station. In High Seas Royce mentioned that up to now, although little infor mation was available, fishery technicians assumed that steelhead migrated pre tty much along the shores of Washington, British Colum bia, and Southeast Alaska. The significance of this record migration of a steel head trout is that some steel head are mingling on the high sea's, possibly as far as some of the Japanaese high seas fisheries. They may be ming ling with salmon from both Japan and Russia while feed ing and growing throughout the North Pacific. The university will send two tagging vessels to the Kodiak and Aleutian Islands this summer to continue the studies of salmon and steel head migrations. BOX: St. Helens 1g Bob Nichols 2-5 T.
