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. Additional leg trouble
and shoulder miseries handi-

had his most disappointing
season with the Yankees, hit

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.

South Salem, and Marshfield,
the number two poll team,
clashes with fifth - ranked'
Klamath Falls.
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

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

by Counts with 33 and Corey
with 28. The leaders after two

while Ed Maerz had 2t for
South Salem.
' Hermiston, crushed by St.
Helens in its opener, finally
found itself to wallop Jesuit
although star Dave Mann was

Jeff had too much skill for
Beaverton despite 25 points by

McArthur Court, University
of Oregon, Eugene A
machine-like Medford High
school contingent last night
bombarded its way into the
semifinals of the Oregon Class
A-l basketball tournament
and at the same time gained
revenge.
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.

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.
