Playoffs
Lake Oswetio. 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. '

Two birdies offset two bogeys on
