Klamath Falls, Eugene and Forest Grove have been tabbed as the four teams most likely to pack away the 19J4 state crown. Last year the Basin cttes claimed the title and in 19JJ the Oswego club came out on top. Oswcko will be bolstered by the presenco of Thclma Parrish Carl son, former Dry Lind Florist star, several time all-stater before her teaming with Llnds and one time selection as All-Amerlcan outfield er while on the Florists. Carlson was released by the Florists earlv this summer and since then joined the Mermnlds. , The Lakers also have piU'lier Jackie Rice an all- stater from winch help cun be ex- pected in regaining the title they lost last year. fcxi'l'.CTATlONS The Basin-ettes, who have failed to Uve up to tiiuir expectations so far this year in posting a very dis mal win-loss record, may find the way out of their "long sleep" since capturing the state honors and re turn to the form or stale cn am nions. The Klnmuths have such tai eut as all-regional first baseman Ruth Hagelstein, ull-staters Mickey Ha v man, Sandy Barron, Teddy Walker. Darlene Gordon Perry and Rinh Hanelsteln, who Is a three line all-state selection. Should Couch Ken Carrier and Manager Bob Mathis find the right combina tion then It Is very possible the peoplo of Klamath Falls and area would find the coveted award remaining here lor two years m a row. Euncnc's McCulloch Chain Saw team is a young club, but one that has proven very darnel our through the past season. 'ju"mta Conner is listed by Kugene followers as one of the stronnest threats for all state outfield honors, while the crowd pleasing piiium of 13-year- old Sharon Knight who is tabbed as one of the finest luUnal ball players to come out of Furene in some tune, are tops. These two are just part of what Eunene lias to bid with in their try lor ine state championship.
