It was the first time in their history that any major leaguer ever has won hnth n. : twin honors were determined bv I a survey of 24 baseball expert's representing evey city in the majors. j Knnfav .,. n, . iioutax was the unanimous choice as the National league's i pitcher of the vear. noltinn all 24 votes cast by the experts. He j was selected lor naving made the comeback of the vear hv i oi we Z4 experts with Curt Sim mons of the St. Louis Cardinals ranking second with four votes. Other Votes Other votes in the comeback of the year balloting were cast for Hal Woodeshick of the Hous ton colts, Dick Ellsworth of the Chicago Cubs, the Los Anrnlps Dodgers as a team two votes each and for Ron Santo of the Chicago Cubs and the Cardinals as a team (one each). houfax' credentials as the Na. tional league's pitcher of the year are beyond dispute. The 27-ycar-old 200 - pound lefthander appeared in 40 games and 311 innings. He had a 25-5 record for an .833 won-lost per centage and the most victories by a National league left-hander since Carl Hubbell won 26 games in 1936. Sets Strikeout Mark Koufax set a new National league strikeout record of 306 in one season and thereby joined Rube Waddell, Walter Johnson and Bob Feller as the only pitchers who have surpassed the 300-mark in strikeouts for a season. Sandy also pitched 11 shutouts a new record for a lefthander and his 1.88 earned run average was remarkable for a pitcher who worked so many innings. All this by a pitcher who 14 months ago was threatened with the loss of a finger that undoubt edly would have ended his ca reer. Simmons, 34-year old former Philadelphia Phillie whiz kid lefthander, compiled a 15-9 rec ord for the Cardinals. It mark ed his biggest winning season since 1956 and it played a major role in the Cardinals' surprising rise as a National league pen nant contender. MAGAC REACTIVATED REDWOOD CITY, Calif.

This en- gagement between the two A-2s I has been the "big little battle in this vicinity in recent years. There have been some terrific games between the two. This time, with Phoenix depth of tal ent and St. Mary's shortage of it, the clubs don't appear so evenly matched as they have been in the past couple of sea sons. LIKE OKLAHOMA St. Mary's Coach Rill McKib bin, addressing the Medford Linebackers last Friday, likened the SM football situation to that at University of Oklahoma. He mentioned that Sooner Coach Bud Wilkinson had pointed to material and "erosion of spirit" problems and improvement of the conference as the reason for sag in Oklahoma football for tunes. McKibbin was quick to say, however, that the spirit point did not apply so much to the Crusaders. But, he did bring out how easy it Is to rest on one's laurels "and once you re lax you've had it." MAYBE LUCKY "Maybe we were lucky to hold them down," Spiegelberg re marked in talking to the Line backers last week. He referred to the Boise football team which whipped Medford 25 to 0. Spieg pointed to the 54 victory of Boise over Caldwell, Idaho, the week end of Sept. 27. The mentor said further of the Boise fray, "It did teach us a lesson." He also stated that the Black Tornado this season "is fortun ate in having a real tough sched ule."

Pointing particularly to his squad grade and attitude wise, Riggs said of the Hornets, "Wc believe we have the finest i group we've ever had." GLINES SHINES 1 Mike Glines, ex-Crater high star who enrolled at Oregon Technical Institute after origi nal plans to attend Linfield col lege, appears to be doing right well for the Owls. He stepped right in as first string quarter back and is playing no doubt much more regularly than he would be for the Northwest con ference power. , j Against Grays Harbor last Saturday Glines ran for two touchdowns. He netted 40 yards on 10 rushing carries and com pleted 12 of 19 passes for 184 yards. Bob Bonner, ex-Eagle Point high, booted four conversions in five tries for the Owls in the j fray. CO..
