Tour ney action will continue through the championship game Saturday evening. The defending champions from Lapwai are again ranked as one of the pre-tourney favorites, but the Idaho team must get over such talented entries as Lodge Grass, Montana; Toppenish, Washington; Fort Yates, North Dakota and the San Francisco Relocation Center. Lodge Grass is expected to sup ply the Lapwais with all they can handle when and if the two meet in one of Friday's semifinal games. The Montana tribe captured the All-Indian National Tournament held this past week in Toppenish. ,Neah Bay, another local tourna- , HEKNIfc SALAWAY . . , holds tourney record ment entry placed third. Toppenish fourth and Lapwai fifth. The Lodge Grass team will be sparked by Willis Medicine Horse, last year's outstanding player of the tournament and a new star just out of high school Larry Pret- ty Weasel. Pretty Weasel is re garded by many as the finest bas ketball prospect to come out of a Montana high school in several years. Fort Washakie, Wyoming, will have one of the invitational tour nament's top stars on hand in the person of Bernie Salaway.

Day or Night! Phon. TU 2-3479 Milwaukee Favored To Defend ML Crown BRADENTON, Fla. (UP)-The Milwaukee Brave? appear to have what it takes to win the National League pennant again. They have the pitching and the power the combination which in 1957 carried them to the world's championship., They seem to have the right balance of vet erans and youngsters, and unlike so many championship clubs, they didn't stand pat during the off season. The Braves made a deal with the Cubs, which most other man agers called "a steal," and Man ager Fred Haney believes it will improve the club. While refusing to come right out and predict a pennant, Haney calls his pitching depth the "best in the league" and claims such stars as Hank Aaron, Eddie Ma- Ford Victor On Fine Shot PENSACOLA, Fla. (UP) The most sensational key shot so far in the winter golf tour a 54 foot hole-out blow from just off the green on the last hole was worth the $2,000 first prize to Doug Ford in the $15,000 Pensa cola Open golf tournament. Ford, the Masters champion from M a h o p a c N.Y.. came through with the payoff stroke Sunday for a birdie three on the 18th. a 73 for the last round, and a 278 for the tournament. At the time of the shot Ford was in a tie wl n Ken venturi of San Francisco. Venturi ended in a tie at sec ond place with Art Wall Jr., of Pocono Manor, Pa., who came from behind on a 69. Jefferson Leads B All-Star Vote PENDLETON I Jefferson High School, which wound up in second place, dominated the all- star team chosen by sports writers and broadcasters at the en of the class B tournament Saturday night. Phil Hochspeier and Al Nyman of Jefferson were joined on the first team by Greg Moore, Star of the Sea; Stan Williams, Sisters; and Norm Evans, Stanfield. The second team: Crcighton Kooch, Enterprise; Gordon Mou- ser. Sisters; Jim Weikel, Harris- burg; Jim Hiestand, Star of the Sea: and LeRoy Noffsinger, Yon- calla.

'7 right, McCutcheon presents the OCC championship trophy to OTI student body president Don Sands. Carl Cluff, Ore gon Journal sporrs writer who was the evening's guest speaker, praised the Owls, who picked up individual tro phies from the school for their winning season, and coach Wally Palmberg. thews and Wes Covington "have yet to reach their potential." RIGHT FIELD DOUBTFUL The only position on the club which isn't set is right field. With Bill Bruton on the doubtful list because of knee trouble, Aaron will shift to center. Covington will play left. It might be we will have to make a deal," Haney says, "but you know not many teams want to trade with the club on top. As matters stand now. Bob Hazle, who came up to the club last season when Bruton was hurt and hit .403 in 41 games with the Braves, has the inside track for the third outfield berth. John De merit, the former Wisconsin star for whom the Braves paid a $V5, 000 bonus, is getting a good look. But on' the basis- of the .147 he hit in 33 games with the team last season, it looks like he will be sent out for experience. Ray Shearer who hit .316 at Wichita last season, also is gel ting a shot at the job and the vet eran Andy Pafko will be around for utility duty. Haney may platoon first base this year, using Joe Adcock when a left-hander pitches against the Braves and the better-fielding Frank Torre when a rightie goes against them. There are those who think Torre can beat Adcock out of the job, making Big Joe available in a deal for an out fielder. INFIELD ALL SET The rest of the infield will have veteran Red Schoendiest at sec ond, Johnny Logan at short and Mathews at third. The Braves started to click last season when they acquired Schoendicnst on June 15. It's when the talk turns to pitch ing that Haney really beams. "I've got eight starters," he claims, listing Lew Burdette, Bob Buhl and Warren Spahn, as the top three men. Back of them he has Bob Rush, the key player in that Cubs deal; Juan Pizarro, the southpaw la belled as "a sure star"; Gene Conley, whose 9-9 record was dis appointing last year; Bob Trow bridge, who had seven victories last year: and Humberto Robin son, an 18-game winner with To ronto last year. For relief there will be Ernie Johnson, one of the ace bullpen men in the league, and young Don McMahon, who showed in the World Series that he could really fire that ball. Other relief possi bilities include Don Kaiser, ob tained from the Cubs with Rush, and Joey Jay, back for another trial after winning 17 at Wichita. The catching is all set with Del Lrandall, Del Rice and Carl Sa- watski. Bob Taylor probably will be sent out for the season. All in all, the Braves' outlook is a most hopeful one. - 8271 HERALD AND NEWS. Braves Bounced By Yanks By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra have started to get the bat square ly against the ball and today the word went out: "Beware the Yan kees." The New York sluggers snapped their slumps and unleashed their lethal power yesterday, leading the American Leaguers to a 4-1 exhibition victory over the world champion Milwaukee Braves.

OREfiON Injured Pelican Improves An ankle injury sustained by Pelican Bob Niles at an early Sat urday morning scrimmage at Klamath Union cast a forbidding, if only temporary, shadow over the Southern Oregon Conference chimps' tournament plans According to coach Don Megale and the team doctor who has been treating the rangy forward's right BOB NILES . . . injured captain foot, the injury, a bad sprain, has responded well to treatment, which has included radiation and whirl pool baths. The mishap occurred with only eight minutes to go in the last scheduled workout before embark ing for Eugene: Niles, the captain of the Peli cans, has had what might be termed a bad week. It has been only four days since he received a fingernail in his eye an in jury that, luckily, looked a lot worse than if turned out to be A quick trip to the hospital proved that he had only a bloodshot eye as a memento and no sight im pairment.
