SO Shoot At Gun Club Medford Gun club will be host Sunday, April 3, for its eighth annual Southern Ore gon shoot. . It will be a Pacific Inter national Trapshooting regis tered shoot with 250 targets registered plus a 20-target backer-up event." There will be 16-yard, hand icap and doubles competition. Fanfare Statistical evidence of the champion Medford high Black Tornado's superiority in the Oregon Class A-l basketball tournament is given in the souvenir report booklet re ceived late last week. The Tornado on offense had the best overall shooting ave rages of the tourney, a .434 mark on 106 field goals out of 243 tries and .775 on 62 free tosses on 80 attempts for its four games. Medford was sec ond high in overall scoring with 274 points and 68.5 per game average. Klamath Falls is shown in the book with 254 points. The Pelicans actually had 276 for a 69 average. Medford led also in re bounding with 171 retrieves and had a lesser desired dis tinction of the most fouls, 87. The Tornado on defense held its opposition to the low est field goal average, .316, and second lowest point ave rage, 49.8. In this latter de partment Medford was beaten only by Albany's 47.5. Al bany played just two games to Medford's four, however. Teams facing Medford had the least overall success from the free heave stripe, hitting just .527 on their throws. Among the eight teams which played four games only Marshfield, the tourney run nerup, allowed the opposition fewer rebounds, 117 to Med ford's 122. PELS, TORNADO TIED Medford high and Klam ath tied in the state hoop tourney for the most field buckets in one game, 33, and most goals for the tour nament, 105. The Tornado's Jerry Anderson, with 13 field goals and 30 points, had single game highs in those departments in the tournament.

In every county in every state of our United States the turf fields, the sandlots and the playgrounds are swarming with potential Mickey Man tles, Babe Ruths, Dizzy Deans and the hundreds of other household gods of our nation al pastime. But not in Phoe nix. Every school district in Jackson and neighboring counties rates baseball an es sential sport in its physical education program, except Phoenix. Butte Falls, Pros pact, Rogue River, Eagle Point, Illinois Valley, Myrtle Creek, as well as Jacksonville and Talent which have been absorbed through consolida, tion, have fielded teams and maintained a creditable in terest in the game despite rel atively small enrollments. But baseball is banned in Phoenix. Coach Jack Woodward has done a remarkably fine job with football, basketball and track at Phoenix, a coaching load that would stymie any one less dedicated and inde fatigable. Good as he is it is unreasonable to expect him to Few Vets On Ashland Track Club Ashland-With mostly young unseasoned athletes on hand Ashland high's track and field hopes as a team lie a year or two in the luture rather than in the immediate season. The Grizzlies, under the helm of Hiram (Bud) Carne, will, however, get a better picture of this year's pros pects Wednesday afternoon when they oppose Crater at Central Point in a three-quarter distance meet. There are only two seniors on the Ashland roster. Crane has only three returning let- termen, one a District 6 A-l champion. Bob Voris, a jun ior, won the district 44u-yara run last spring. He's expected to see relay and high hurdle duty for the Grizzlies this year, as well. Gray, Farmer Return Steve Gray, broad jumper, 100 and 220-yard; and relay man, and Forrest F a r m e r, high jumper, broad jumper and relay runner, are the oth er lettermeri. ' Gray and George Moses, shot. -putter, are the only seniors on the squad ' of some ' 50 aspirants. This total includes freshmen. Much: of the Ashland hopes for the future lie in the fresh men. A bright prospect in this group is Tom Hudson, a miler. Others are Mike Andrews, dash and 440 man; Tom Huff and "Dean - Jackson," Javelin throwers, and Allen Kiser, weight man; ' : . ' ' iy DICK JEW ETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor be three or four places at the same. time. However, no one seems to have explored the possibility of getting tempor ary help during the baseball training season through the student-teacher lend-lease pro gram at S.O.C. There are phy sical ed majors enrolled there, aren't there? Baseball has become a ma jor sport in Mexico, Venezue la, Guatemala, Puerto Rico and Japan, but not in Russia or Red China. Let's get Phoe nix out of the latter category! Respectfully yours, Fletcher T. Fish NOT BIG ENOUGH In not , having a baseball program. Phoenix joins with a number of small schools In having just one sport during the spring pe riod. It is felt that the school is not big enough to have an adequate program in both sports. The fact that weather at this lime of year disrupts baseball also enters in. Track has proved a good conditioner for boys at the school and Phoenix has built a good program in this7 activity. Just before Phoe nix abandoned baseball a few years back, the school was having trouble getting enough players and enough talent to field representa tive teams. - (By the way. Albert (Hap) Consbruck is head track coach for the Pirates. Jack Woodward, football and basketball mentor, who for merly directed track, assists with the ruaning of Phoe nix meets.) ONE SPORT EMPHASIS St. Mary's of Medford, which has close to 150 stu dents to 200 at Phoenix, also has dropped baseball in favor of the cinder field activity. Talent, Prospect and Butte Falls this year as in past re cent seasons have put the em phasis on baseball. Talent, at least, has some boys out for track, but the Bulldogs thin clad athletes are training largely on their own. Jacksonvlle, before merging with Medford, was something of an exception in having both sports. But, generally, in the smaller schools, concen tration on one sport means curtailment or sacrifice of the other. Eagle Point, with both track and . baseball programs in operation, has more than 300 students. Yet, this year, Vern Steward has the job of revitalizing Eagle Point.- PREFERENCE We watch both baseball games and track meets with interest but back in our own participant days, cin der action was our prefer- . ence.

Stop SIZES 20 TO 42 m Red Sox Without Jensen I960 Unknown Quantity In Major Loop Baseball (This is the seventh of 16 dispatches on the 1960 pros pects of the major league teams.) By SCOTT BAILLE Scottsdale, Ariz.- DPD - The Boston Red Sox, deprived of their - best long ball , hitter when Jackie Jensen retired, face the 1960 season as one of the major league's un known quantities. "I don't know how we will make out this season," says Manager Bill Jurges who took over the Sox last July 4 and piloted them from the cellar to fifth place. "Maybe Jensen didn't have the batting aver age of a Willie Mays but he did everything just as well. We'll miss him and I don't know how much the loss will affect us." Jensen's vacancy in right field may be filled on the pla toon basis with Gary Geiger, Marty Keough and rookie Lu Clinton sharing the job. Or if Ted Williams regains some of his old form and can get in a good number of games in left field, Bobby Thomson might move over to right. Thomson came to the Red Sox from the Cubs in a winter deal. Williams, although he checked into the camp com plaining of the same pain in the neck which affected his hitting last year, has been belting the ball in his old style. But Jurges won't say if he expects his prized "thump er" ' to open the season any earlier than May 11, which is the first time Teddy appeared in the batting order last year. Sammy White's retirement also has left a big void in the Sox catching. The club there by .could not complete a deal to acquire Russ Nixon from the Indians. They must seek a first-string heavy-duty back stop elsewhere. Either that, or go along with Haywood Sullivan, who has been bat tling for the job several sea sons, Don Gile, Jim Paglia roni or Ed Sadowski. Things are more set in the infield which spots steady Frank Malzone at third base, Don Buddin at shortstop, Pete Runnels at second and Ron Jackson or Vic Wertz at first. Jackson and Buddin could be the key in the Red Sox pennant hopes. Jackson, a 6- foot, 7-mch belter, hits right handed and has been lacing the ball hard under the guid ance of batting tutor Wil liams. Left-handed Wertz also has looked at times like the star he was at Detroit and pre sumably could spell Jackson. So could Runnels. If Runnels were moved to first, there would be a good second baseman on hand in Jerry Green. "Pumpsie" learned to play the spot at Minneapolis where he hit .308 last year. Center fielder Gene Steph ens, a good hitter whose ca reer was halted for six weeks last year because of a broken wrist, apparently is all set in center field. in TOMORROW! - PLAIN FRONT OR PLEATED In Medford M M Jurges has numerous names to pull out of the hat when he considers a pitching rotation. There are Tom Brewer (10 12), Ike Delock (11-6), Frank Sullivan (9-11), Jerry Casale (13-8) and Bill Monboiquette (7-8). Also on hand is Tom Sturdivant, ex -Yank hurler who says he "rotted away in the bull pen" last year while posting a 2-6 mark for Kansas City. Sturdivant feels he is ready to come back as a starter. The club is short on left- Lasley's Oscar Captures Laurels in Hound Trial Oscar, a plott, owned by William Lasley, Cornelius, was first line and first tree Sunday in the senior-junior finals of the Rogue Valley Field Trialers trail hound trial on Sunday. Black Panther, a whippet, owned by Cecil Shaw, North Bend was second line and Ike, owned by Perry Dysert, Lookingglass, was second tree in the division. ONLY CODE 280C SJ-J45 V PT. CODE 280D ILEND a.

STORE handed hurlers but may have a good one, Jurges feels, in Tom Borland who was 14-8 at Minneapolis. And Ted Bows field, another southpaw, had a 10-5 mark for the same club. "Brewer and Delock could be 20-game winners," Jurges says. "The boys have it in their arms. But I'm undecided on how the staff will shape up." Gerry Mallett, former bas kebtall player from Baylor, is among the rookies who might earn an outfield job. Others who have impressed Jurges are infielders Marian Cough try and Carl Yastrzemski. But right now, it appears as if the manager will stick with his tested players and let the youngsters bloom a little more on the farms. Sue, owned by Jim Holt, Phoenix, was first line in the green dog finale, and Queenie, owned by Carl Bergman, Rogue River, "was first tree. Queenie was second line and Sue second tree.
