By DON FAIR
Of the Register-Guard
Any sports fan should recog
nize the name Iba, but when
he's one of "the Ibas," then
basketball coaches know they
are in for a peck of trouble.
In the Oklahoma - Missouri
area, the cage teaching ability
of the four Iba brothers is well
known, and now Oregon can
claim one as its own. That's
Earl Iba, who has forsaken the
"wind and dust" of the South
west for Ashland High school
where he has merely mentoreci
the Grizzlies to six victories in
as many starts.
That record comes as quite
a surprise, with teams such as
Franklin, Lincoln, Jefferson,
Klamath Falls, Medford, Her
miston, Pendleton and Grant
hogging the state prep basket
ball spotlight.
Hank Best Known
However that performance
maybe shouldn't be so surpris
ing, because he comes from a
pretty talented coaching fam
ily. Best known is Earl's older
brothr Hank, who is now in
his 23rd season at Oklahoma
A&M, during which time he
has compiled a 476-144 win
and loss record plus two NC
AA titles. In 29 years at the
cage sport, Hank has a 588-166
mark.
Then there's brother Clar
ence who is guiding the des
tinies of the Tulsa basketball
team. Clarence's coaching
shows 119 victories and 82 set
backs. Finally comes a third
brother, Howard, who mentors
the City Central High School
quint of St. Joseph, Mo.
All of the brothers either
were graduated or attended for
a time Harysville State Teach
ers College, Mo. It was at this
institution that the so-called

but finished up in 1939

Took Ashland Job
Earl heard of the Ashland
vacancy through a friend, who
had owned a drugstore in
Goodwell (population 360) be
fore moving to Ashland. Orig
inally he took the Grizzly job
on an assistant's basis. '
Upon arriving at Ashland,
he was asked if he wanted to
take the head basketball posi
tion, although he was warned
he had nothing coming back
for this season. That was eno
ugh for Earl and he accepted
the offer.
The 1956-57 outlook includ
ed no returning starters and
only three lettermen, the tall
est being 6-3 Jack Tobiasson.
One of the veterans included
Jack Eberhart, son of a former
Oregon athlete and also an all
state member of Eugene's 1927
championship quint. Jean now
runs a sporting gods store in
Ashland, while son Jack is a
senior forward for the Grizzlies.
Defense Emphasized
The success of the Grizzlies
thus far can be atributed to
the Big D in this case not
standing for Dallas but for De
fense. Ashland has averaged
only 35.2 points per game, but
the opponents have made tal
lies at only a 29.2 clip, slightly
fantastic figures in today's
play which einphasies records
and more scoring records.
The Grizzlies gave an indica
tion in the pre-league jamboree
that they would not be the
pushovers expected. They lost
11-7 to Klamath Falls, but beat
Grants Pass 8-3 and Crater 11
5 in one quarter games.
Then came the regular ac-

at Panhandle A&M, Goodwell
Okla. He later returned as bas
ketball and golf coach plus ath
letic director at Panhandle,
which is located in the north
west corner of the state.
In six years at the school,
which has an enrollment of ap
proximately 675, Earl compil
ed a 71-80 mark competing
in the New Mexico and the
Frontier Collegiate conferenc
es. It was from Panhandle A-

MISS SANDRA HOPKINS
VISITS ASHLAND HIGH
Visiting A.H.S.on Jan. 3 and
4 was Sandra Hopkins. She
was escorted around the school
by Linda Smith and Neva
Thompson. Sandra, who is fif
teen years old, has been a lo
cal resident of Ashland for 4
years and attends the school
for the deaf in Salem. Accord
ing to Sandra, there is not
much difference between the
two schools. Students at the
school for the deaf are taught
in much the same manner and
Oregon college j the same subjects are required

This is the same Caveman
team which a week before had
thumped Franklin 53-36.
Rank Outsider
In the two games in Califor
nia, Ashland picked up only 11
fouls, a mere four against For
tuna and seven against Eureka.
And they aren't playing a zone
defense, either.
Earl says this of his team,
"It's lucky for me that we won
these first few games because
it gave the kids confidence in
a new type offense (Ashland
played it run-and-shoot style
last season) . . . when we're
hitting we'll beat some good
ball clubs.
Actually, Ashland is rated a
rank outsider in the District
6-A-l race, where powerful
Klamath Falls and Medford
are top-heavy choices. Grants
Pass and Crater complete the
district. But nobody can afford
to take the Grizzlies lightly
now.
There just might be an Iba
coached team in the state
tuumamenl next March
