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.

The following letter was
received last week from a
Phoenix resident:
What's wrong with Phoe
nix? 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

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.

Steve Gray, broad jumper,

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

group is Tom Hudson, a miler.

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

aren't there?
Baseball has become a ma

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.

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-

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.
The event was staged off
Old Stage rd., a half-mile
north of Jacksonville.
Ninety-eight hounds were
entered, 18 in the senior
group, 23 in the junior and
57 in the green classification.
