HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. Pelican Cagers Earn All-Star Berths The Klamath Union Pelicans '.end the Med lord Black Tornado each placed two men on the 1WM .Southern Oregon Conference All Star basketball team released to lay by the Medlord Mail Tribune. The remaining berUi on the first five was claimed by Grants Pass. KU senior guard Paul Bishop nd junior forward Bruce Brick ner were joined by Medford's Jer ry Anderson and guard Dick Rags dale and Rex Benner of Grants Pass on the All-Star first team. Pelican sophomore Gary Pat ike was selected to the second team which, because of a tie in the voting, contained six players. Chuck Turner and Dave Sharp of Crater, Bob Quinncy and Ken Dur kee of Medford, and Larry Jans ten of Grants Pass comprised the remainder of the second unit. NY, Mantle Rift Widens, Barbs Tossed By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS You'd think between them the wealthy New York Yankees and bowling impressario Mickey Man tie could spare $1.71 for a phone call that might lead them to strike a compromise over the sluggin outfielder's salary demands. ; The breach between the two parties, however, seems to be get ' ting progressively wider with no immediate hope of either putting through the call between Mantle's Joplin, Mo., home and the Yan kees' St. Petersburg, Fla., spring training camp. Mantle, continuing firm in his holdout siege, threw the most re cent barb in the dispute Monday "I honestly don't believe I'll be getting to St. Petersburg this year," he said. Mantle's meaning was clear. He said he wasn't "fooling" or trying to "bulldoze" the Yankees but "when I said I wouldn't call them or go down there to talk, I meant it." George Weiss, general manager of the New York club, said with finality last week the club was through trying to negotiate with Mantle, who slumped to a .283 batting average last year and drove in only 75 runs as the Yan kees fell to third place. The difference between the Yanks and Mantle amounts to quite a bit. Mantle has said he is willing to take a cut, but nothing near the reported $15,000 slice the Yanks want to take out of his esti mated 1959 salary of $75,ono. A trade rumor also began at the Yankee camp when Detroit General Manager Rick Ferrell came in. The All-Star selections were made by the coaches and play ers of the five SOC parlftipant schools. Balloting was conducted on an all-opponent basis with no votes allowed for members of their own teams. Two points were awarded for a first team vote and one for a second team selection. Players receiving 16 points were unanimous. Three players.

Hoods Hit Cage Coach For Winning SPRINGFIELD, III. (AP) The Springfield Board of Education says it may bar the public from future basketball games featuring Springfield High School, Illinois state champions last year. The board's action Monday night stemmed from the harass ment of the school's basketball coach, Ray Page, and his family. The trouble, it appears, is the re sult of the team's continued good showing this year. Recently vandals broke win dows in Page's home. Earlier, tires on his car had been slashed and the convertible top damaged. The family has been bothered by mysterious threatening telephone calls. Page, 38, expressed bewilder ment about the vandalism and harassment. However, he said his team's record of 25 wins and 4 losses may be the cause. There, are three other high schools in Springfield. There s always a certain amount of resentment over the team's success," Page said. He said an anonymous caller recently told him if the team won any games at the sectional tour nament this week "you have only a sample of what's going to hap pen to you." Sugar Ray Tunes Up BALTIMORE (AP)-Sugar Ray Robinson, dethroned as middle weight boxing champion in Janu ary, will fight here next month in a tuneup for his return title bout with Paul Pender.

Cal Meets ISC; Utah Whips USC By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS California and its redoubtable Bear-Hug defense opens a bid for another national basketball cham pionship tonight as the NCAA tournament picks up with a six game program. The Bears of Pete Newell, back with a brilliant 24-1 record and a No. 2 national ranking, play Idaho State's Rocky Mountain Conference champs (21-4) in a first-round game in the NCAA's West regional at San Francisco. Ohio U. faces Notre Dame and Western Kentucky clashes with Miami of Florida at Lexington, Ky., and New York U. faces Connecticut, West Virginia plays Navy, and Duke clashes with Princeton in a tripleheader in New York. Each of the six win ners goes on to regional semi finals next Friday. The first-round firing in the NCAA tournament began Monday night with Utah's Skyline Confer ence titlists whipping Southern California 80-73 in a West region al opener at Provo, Utah, and DePaul whipping Air Force 69-63 in a Midwest regional prelimin ary at Chicago. DePaul, getting 24 points from 5-9 Howie Carl, takes a 16-6 rec ord against Cincinnati's Missouri Valley Conference champs at Manhattan, Kan., next Friday. Utah, now 25-2, advances to the West semifinals at Seattle against the winner of Wednesday night's first-round game between New Mexico State and Oregon. A playoff game at Manhattan, Student Newspapers Decry Big Ten Plan Student newspapers at Big Ten tchools attacked a proposed ban on post-season sports on general grounds "it would turn their con ference into a "little ten," or a replica of the Ivy League. Newspapers "at three of the tchools commented on varying days and in varying ways in editorials decrying a conference decision to end the Rose Bowl pact and a proposal to eliminate all post'season contests. Conference athletic directors and faculty representatives will vote on the final ban at a May 18 meeting at East Lansing, Mich. It was at East Lansing, home of Michigan State University, that the student daily newspaper, "The State News," suggested naming the conference the "Little Ten to avoid desecrating the name of the Big Ten of yore." Lose Student Pride "The State News commends the Big Tei, " traditional form but until conference academic representatives kill the strategy proposal of the athletic directors that all post season sports com petition by member schools be barred, our conference will no longer have its aura of bigness," the editorial said in a paper pub lished Monday. At Illinois, Urbana. 111., the stu dent newspaper, "Daily Mini," said in an editorial Tuesday that athletics "creates solidarity and university pride" on the national scale as well as at conference level. "To withdraw from the rest of the country athletically," the ed itorial said, "we believe would ultimately lead to loss of student pride and the destruction of the conference itself." "End of Era" "Should the Big Ten "continue to be one of the finest names in collegiate sports, or should the conference be relegated to the position of a 'once athletically powerful but now Ivy League type of confederation of Midwest ern universities?" the Mini said. The Ohio Slate "Lantern"0ran an editorial Monday regretting the death of the Rose Bowl pact and entitled it "the end of an era." The "Minnesota Daily" termed the post - season ban as "ri diculous" and said "it may hurt recruiting and make the Big Ten just a stop behind the Ivy League." The Iowa student daily was of fically mum on the matter but carried comments from athletes who were "disappointed" and who predicted that top-notch high School athletes would not go to Big Ten schools. Kan., Wednesday night Big Eight co-champs Kansas and Kansas State, plus tonight's six first-round games, and the New Mexico State-Oregon game on Wednesday completes the field of 16 for the four regional semi finals Friday and Saturday.

(AP) Practically everything's going to be new for the Tri-Cities Braves when they open the Northwest League season this year. The team has a new name officially Tri-Cities now instead of Tri-City new owners and a new general-field manager. The new manager Is Chester (Whitey) McDowell, who also heads a group that purchased the Braves franchise. The group re portedly is backed by J. H. Ver non of Anchorage, Alaska. The team's franchise was taken from a local civic group by the league because of indebtedness last January. Only three players have been signed so far. They are Harry Dunlop, catcher; utility player Mac Schmidt and pitcher Fred Rick. The Braves have no working agreement with major league clubs because the club wasn't reorganized until February, but McDowell said he expects to pick up plenty of players when other teams begin cutting.

Some new-car buyeri are gkeptical when wi tell them thig price atory. Here are some of the quMtioni they ask and our answer: Q"Do you mean Mercury is now a low . prica car? Did you reduce prices?" A "Yes. Monterey prices are now $174 lower, and include many extras that are now standard equipment." Q'But in your price comparison, aren't you talking about a 'stripped' Mercury with rubber mats, plain interiors, no equipment, no glamour?" A "No, we're talking about a de luxe ' appointed Monterey with beautiful nylon interior and deep, thick carpet ing. The comparison is fair." Q"Do all Monterey models have as good a price story?" i "Yes, within a few dollars. It's the " ' most amazing value story aver offered.

Many people figure that since the ear they art considering has historically had a "low-price" name it must be, in fact, a low-price car. This, at one time, was (rue. But today the names of cars, as you may know, have very little to do with their prices. Msny ears with traditional low-price names cost more than Mercury a name you have always associated with higher price cars. Our point is this: A Mercury Monterey, with deluxe appointments, is now priced $31 to $66 less than any of the best selling Fords, Cher roleti, and Plymouth (the V-8 powered Galaxies, Impalas, and Furys). Yet Mercury offers you 0far more of everything you want in a car. MERCURY ADDS UP TO A BETTER LOW-PRICE CAR-Mercury has a 7 to 8 inch longer wheelbase than Galaxie, Impala, andFury 289 to 494 pounds? more weight up to 23 more insulation more spacious passenger compart, ment self-adjusting brakes up to 28 more visibility more luxurious in terior finer quality (every Mercury is road-tested before it is shipped, not just spot-checked as all other low-price cars) Smoother ride, axtra satisfaction.
