Central SPrlng 3-6450 Powers is missing the bulk of last seasons squad. But, the Cruisers have made up for the loss with transfers and they can field a front line of play ers 8-5, 6-3 and 6-2. "We face an uphill battle," said Coach Duane Payne. whose Prospect squad was to leave this morning for Bend He indicated that sharp shoot ing win nave to be the Cou gar key against Powers. Aim will be to get the ball through the hoop so that the Cruisers cannot rebound it. Shoot W.ll Payne brought out, how ever, that "our kids shoot real well and they (Powers) will have to have a good zone de fense." The Cruisers have used zone in their crucial games this year and the Cou gars this week have worked particularly on offense against that sort of defense. Powers also employs man to man. Prospect suffered a blow in practice Monday when regu lar Terry Gardner suffered a torn cartilage between the ribs, apparently from the el bow of a squad mate in scrim mage. Payne said that the eager likely will be available for limited duty but that Chuck Poole probably will start. Other likely starters are Craig Gardner, the club's top scorer, Stan Payne, Bob Fitch and Cliff Chapman. Poole and Craig Gardner at 6 feet even are the tallest among Prospect's likely start ers.

The Russians Tuesday ploy ed some of the best hockey seen to date In the tourna ment but their luck was out, And the Czechs alternately "freezing" the puck for long periods and Jumping into slick counterattacks, caught the Russians off-guard on suffici ent occasions to run out 6-4 winners.

The gallant 38 year old Schoendienst, whose career was threatened by tubercu losis, was signed Tuesday to a St. Louis Cardinal contract estimated at $25,000. The con tract means that general man ager Bing Devlne and man ager Solly Hemus believe he has a chance . . . just a chance ... to help the Cardinals this yeor. "I appreciate them giving me this chance," said Schoen dienst, who rejected coaching offers from both the Milwau kee Braves and Loj Angeles j Dodgers because he thought I he still could play. "We consider the break I ours," commented D e v I n e. j "Red has been most Impres-: sivc in camp and should give us a big lift, psychologically as well as actually." Schoendienst was signed af ter an Intra-squad game in which he singled, stole a base, scored a run and made an outstanding defensive play. The odds against him are tre mendous - he was sidelined throughout the entire 1959 season and he hit only .257 in 63 gamei last mason. Ashland - Defying drench ing rain and fog the Southern Oregon college Red Raiders launched the 1961 baseball season with a rain-soaked practice last week Occupying the first-day turnout of 31 prospective Raiders were hitting and run ning drills during the 1V4 hour session. Among the large turnout which greeted head coach Ted Schopf were 10 letter- men from the 1960 squad which finished second behind Oregon college with an 8-2 record and 12-5 on the overall season. Heading the list of re turnees is senior Kermit Mc Lemore who led the OCC in Red Raider Netters Vie Ashland - Dr. Alex Peter sen and his Red Raider tennis squad from Southern Oregon college open the spring sports calendar with a trip to Red ding, Calif., Thursday and a match with the Shasta JC Wolves. With only two weeks of practice, the Raider net crew heads into its initial match with three lettermen forming the nucleus of a six -man squad. Captain John Root, Ron Slngler, and Ken Miller are the returnees and Dr. Peter sen has indicated they will hold down the first three positions against the Wolves. The battle for the Nos. 4 and 5 positions Is a tossup between freshman Lorance Elckworth and transfer Bruce Engle. . In the scrap for the No. fl position, no less than five net ters are in the running. Jim Johns, George Converse, and Curtis Boardman have been the strongest contenders for the spot. But not to be count ed out are Rollin Hegler and Willis Williams. batting last year and placed third in national statistics with a stout. .511 average Other lettermen who turn ed out Wednesday included Jess Munyon whose .389 bat ting mark last season earned him 30th place in national statistics, Eldon Francis, a .333 hitter last year, Jack Ko pacz, .333, Damien Rossetto, and Joe Funderberg, all in fielders or outfielders. Pitch ers included Marty Vogler, who had a 2-1 record with the 1960 squad, Don Vannice, 2-2, Kay Kelley, 1-0, and John Cook who also doubles in the outfield. Munyon, a strong left-handed hitter, is being counted upon to carry the catching lead this spring, and the num ber of returning pitchers points toward a bright spot in that department. "But," according to Schopf, "the biggest gap to fill is in the infield. We've lost our en tire infield from last year with the exception of Mc L e m o r e." McLemore held down both third base and left field for the 1960 Raiders, playing errorless ball the en tire season to go with his im pressive hitting. Diaii Signs Contract Kopacz and Funderburg are the only other lettermen infielders on the squad, and Schopf is hoping the year of experience for each will aid in the search for replace ments. Catcher Phil Sword, pitch er John Younger, and infield ers Jack Brown, Bob Jones, Chuck Nevi have either grad uated or have transferred to other schools. Jim Dietz, all- conference inflelder the last two seasons, is the only ex ception. He recently signed a pro contract with the Detroit Tigers.
