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. Powers will have Slim
Krantz, 6-5, Glen McDonald,
6-2, and possibly Bill Lawson,
6-3, and Jerry Ross, 6-1. Rich
Calbo, 5-9, is the top scorer
and floor leader. Dennis
Getchell, 8-8, sees much duty.
Calbo Is a transfer from North
Bend and Getchell from Myr
tle Point.
The Cruisers have averaged
SS points per game and have
held rivals to an average of
35. Prospect has scored 1,003
points to opponents' 810, for
43.6 and 35.2 averages.

schools will play at 7:30 p.m.

Turn Out at SO College
SL Cards Sign
Schoendienst
By FRED DOWN
United Press International
Red Schoendienst has won
another battle but the future
is still a question mark.
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.
The Raiders open the sea
son March 31 and April 1
with a home and home series
with College of Siskiyou from
Weed, Calif.
