In preparation for the contest, which always reaches white-heat regardless, Coaches Skeet O’Con nell and Russ Acheson have agreed to place two referees— Ronald Gandee of Central Point and Stan Summers of Eugene—in the court to keep order.

Coach O’Connell, following the loss of C. Warren, Nance and Roberson at mid-term, has been working with three replacements who have shown much promise for the season. Joe Jessel, Ardis War ren and Bob Weaver probably will receive the call at game time to fill the gaps, while Guards Bud Silver and Kenny Harris will Al- round out the battle line, though the Grizzlies are not ex pected to turn in the most out standing game of the decade, O’Connell has assured fans that Medford will have its hands full till the final gun.
