Northeast There are small bands of mal lards in Baker Valley. Pair hunt ing will be found near Keating and Richland, and along Burnt River near Hereford.

Grants Pass and Roseburg will I blaze anew tonight wben the Cave men of Coach Kay Davis come to town for a night encounter against the BUI Harper coached Indians. ! Game time is S p m. Saturday night, the Indians trav lel to Corvallis for a rematch with the Spartans. Roseburg won the first meeting between the two schools. 54-31. Experience Limited i Grants Pass brings a hoop crew : boasting four returning lettermen, j although only one, Larry llender 1 son is a seasoned veteran. Several I have plenty of jayvee experience, however. ! Grants Pass hosted both Marsh- field and North Bend last week end and dropped both encounters, losing to the Pirates, 50-42, and to the Bulldogs, 55-53. Starting nods will probably go to Henderson who stands 6-5Mi at cen ter; Jim Smith, 6-1 junior guard; Mike Spar ho. 6-0 junior: and Jer ry Putnam, 6-3 sophomore in the forward slots. Junior Chuck Rem bert will probably get the other guard assignment. He stands 5-11. Sparlin and Rambert played jay vee ball last year, and Putnam, being a sophomore, has had only freshman-squad experience. First line reserves include 6-3Va Larry Walker, 6-3 Bruce Marks, 6-2 Bob Fowler, 6-1 Bob Linquist 5-11 Gary Walker and 5-7 Chuck Lasher. Roseburg will be after its fifth consecutive win, but Coach Harper is undecided as to whom will get the starting nods. A lot will depend on whether 6-3 transfer center John Caudill is ready for action. The first string pivotman injured his hip last week and has missed the past two encounters. i His replacement on the other hand. Tom "'.arrong. has looked terrific and could get the starting nod anyhow. Forward spots will be held by 6-2 Fred Skeels and 6-2 Wes Jackson. Center duty will be handled by either Caudill or Bar rong. Guards are sure to be 5-7 Brady Montgomery and 5-10 Bill Oerding. The latter two are both deceptive and fleet afoot. They us ually do most of the scoring. Ready for reserve action are Gary Cripps, Marvin Fray, Tom my Burgess, Rod Hoenish, who was moved back to the varsity roster, Bill Kelly and Larry Sloan. Jayvee action between the two schools gets the show under way at 6:30 p.m. Prep Scores By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Monmouth-Independence 48. Wil- lamina 46 Astoria 64.
