The three-day tourney was to conclude today with single day pro-amateur best ball and amateur net competition along with the gross rivalry for pros and amateurs and the overall tourney gross honors for the professionals.

However, Coach Paul Sey mour of the Hawks said, "We will win." Seymour's state ment took moro tl.an simple confidence since he followed it by saying it was doubtful that big Clyde '.ovellette would be making the trip to the West Coast with the team. Lovcllette was injured as the Lakers defeated the Hawks, 121-112, here Monday night.

MEDFORD TOPS STATE The tournament booklet shows that Medford, runner up lo Klamath Falls for the A-l hoop diadem, was the lop offensive and defensive team of the 1961 extravaganza. Medford V Black Tornado scored 248 points and aver aged 62 per game, both highs for the classic. Klamath Falls was right behind with 244 and 61. Grant of Portland was third high with 239 points and 59.8 per gam . The Tornado was the least scored upon team among those which went the full route of the tournament, al lowing 179, and had the best game average of all partici pants, permitting rivals to put in only 44.8 counters per contest. But the best evidence of Medford's tremendous de fensive prowess was dis played in the field goal aver ages. Teams hit only .310 from the field against the Hurricane. Grant was next best field defender, yielding buckets at a .315 average. Teams fired .323 against Da vid Douglas, third best. TORNADO AVERAGES .402 Medford was one of three teams which averaged over Vejar Announces Ring Retirement New York - (UPD - Eleven years ago, Chico Vejar launch ed his professional boxing ca reer by knocking out Danny Rubino in the second round at Brooklyn's old Eeastcrn Parkway Arena.

SPRING DOPE WANTED This going off to a state tournament certainly gets - a person behind in his work. We don't think we'll ever get caught up with spring sports taking up quickup where the winter ones left off. However, if we can just get the dope on track, baseball, etc., from high school coaches not yet heard from, plus the sched ules of spring events from the various schools, we, may be, can get in swing with the season. We hope that they'll send in the desired Info with out waiting to, hear from us direct. n TOURNAMENT BOX Getting back again to the record book here is Medford's four-game 1961 tourney sum mary: i FG FT Reb.

MEN'S CLOTHING Main and Central 70 Victories Goal Of Philadelphians In National Loop (This is the sixth of 18 dispatches on the 1961 pros pects of the major league teams.) By LEO H. PETERSON UPI Sports Editor Clearwater, Fla. -lUPD-Gene Mauch insists the Philadel phia Phillies will be an im proved ball club this year be cause: "I'll be a better manager. "The kids we played last year are bound to improve." So the youngest manager in the majors at 35 has set 70 victories as the goal for this season and he hopes that will be enough to enable the Phil lies to climb out of the Nation al League cellar. He seems to be aiming mighty high, considering the talent he has available. Mauch admits the Phillies definitely need a power hitter in order to take the pressure off such kids as John Callison and Tony Gonzalez, and a catcher who can work in 130 or 140 games. There are no candidates for either job in camp and the only way the Phillies can get them is through deals. They haven't much material which the other clubs want except relief pitch er Dick Farrell, and he isn't on the market. Mauch claims his pitching will be okay. It will be anchored by the veteran Robin Roberts, who appears to be nearing the end of one of the most brilliant pitching careers in the Nation al League. Last year, Roberts won 12 while losing 16 as the Phillies finished in the cellar, 36 games behind the Pirates. They won only 59 games, all of them under Mauch who took over for Eddie Sawyer last year after the Phillies lost their opening game of the sea son. To Be Starters To go along with Roberts as starters Mauch is counting on Frank Sullivan, 6-16 with the Red Sox last season; Art Mahaffey, who won seven and lost three after the Phillies recalled him from Buffalo where he had an 11-9 record; Jim Owens (4-14), John Buz hardt (6-16) and Chris Short (6-9). Mahaffey is regarded as a coming star. Mauch thinks he can get Sullivan back on the winning track and that Buz hardt and Short have good po tential. Owens is a question mark because he left camp after creating a disturbance in the Phillies spring training Sizzle, steak and scenery . . . are yours to enjoy when you travel East on Union Pacific.

Farrell will be the relief ace with Jack Meyer, who was out most of last season with a bad back, a bullpen and starting possibility if he is sound again. Other hurling possibilities are Ruben Gomez, 0-3 with the Phillies and 7-6 with Buf falo and Miami; Jack Bald schun, a 12-game winner at Columbia; Dallas Green, 3-6 with the Phillies and 3-4 with Buffalo. Clay Dalrymple and Jib Coker, who hit .272 and .214 respectively last year in their first full season in the majors, will share the catching duties unless Mauch comes up with one in a trade. Clarence Cole man, drafted from Montreal where he hit .258, may be kept but the three of them put to gether do not measure up to a winning catching combination. Two infield positions are set -the hard-hitting Pancho Her rera at first and Tony Taylor at second. Herrera, in his first full season last year, hit .289 with 17 homers and 71 runs batted in. Taylor, one of the better second basemen in the league, batted .284. Joe Koppe, who held down the job last season until he was hurt, has the inside track for shortstop although he hit only .171. Ruben Amaro, who hit .231 when he took over for Koppe is another candi date. Bob Wine, a .269 hitter at Buffalo has an outside chance. For third, Mauch is giving Jim Woods, although he hit only .260 at Indianapolis, a long look. Lee Walls, the for mer outfielder with a .233 mark last season, also is in the fight for the job. Ted Lepcio (.227) and Bob Malkmus (.211) are available for utility infield duty. Six outfielders are in the running for regular jobs. Cal lison, who hit .260 last season, probably will win one of the jobs. The others are up for grabs with Tony Curry, a .261 hitter last year, the most im pressive thus far. He reported to camp some 15 pounds over weight, drawing Mauch's wrath, but has been the lead ing hitter in exhibition games. Bobby Del Greco (.237), Gonzalez (.274), B. G. Smith (.286) and Ken Walters (.239) are the other gardeners. None of the six appears ca pable of generating the power the Phillies need to offset the lack of infield and catching punch.
