Medford 9 0 1.000 Grants Pass 4 8 .444 Ashland 3 7 .333 Klamath Falls 8 7 .333 Jim Cave, reserve guard, has been moved to forward and will replace Larry Hayes In Medford high's starting lineup against Grants Pass on the small Cave man floor in a southern Oregon conference game tonight. Hayes was injured in a game with Klamath Falls here Saturday night and will be out for at least two weeks and perhaps for the season, Coach Al Simpson said today.- . Simpson said Darrell Riggs has been shifted back to center on offense with Cave to take care of the forward position from the corner. Bob Watson will be playing in the keyhole with dead-eye Dick Fawcett out front. Jerry Ross will play his regular position, going down the floor ahead of the ball on the fast break. LeRoy House, who has been "working as Hayes' understudy all season, is out with a boil on the knee. Simpson taid Earl Stelle might also see some ac tion in Hayes' position. Bill Slngler, who is looking better as the season goes along, also will probably see some action. Grants Pass is tough to beat 6n their own court, the mentor said, and the Tornado will miss the services of Hayes. How ever, If Riggs can control the backboard as well tonight as he did Saturday night against Klamath Falls, It will be a great asset to Medford. Riggs took 20 out of Modford's 39 re bounds Satunday and played a great game under the basket.

TIGHTER RULES By Waller Byeis United Press Staff Correspondent Chicago, Feb. 13 (U.R) Of ficials should enforce the "hands off" rules now in the book and stamp out the rough-house tac tics which are beginning to dom inate basketball, big ten coaches said today. Basketball still Is basically a non-contact sport and officials should end the rapidly growing tendency to make it a contact game by crowding, rough paying and chopping, they said, explain ing that it Is not a case of draw ing up new rules, but merely en forcing the writing In the rule book. Not Enough Whistle "I believe there Is too much judgement being used and not enough whistle," Harold (Bud) Foster, University of Wisconsin coach, said. Head Coach Benny Ooster- baan of Michigan and his assist ant, Bill Barclay, both agreed that basketball at present is too rough since the "officials are un willing to slow the game with a parade to the foul line." "The boys adapt themselves to the officiating,' Barclay said. "If the referee shows he means to call the fouls, the boys will top fouling." Although there have been sin gular Instances in the past of coaches asking for better of ficiating, this marks one of the rare times that all of them have agreed on one point namely, that basketball is too bruising and that it is up to the officials to concoct the cure. TITLE AT STAKE 10 GAME Chicago, Feb. 13 (U.R) The blazing hot big ten basketball race comes to a showdown Fri day when Ohio State's defending champions, tied .with Iowa for first place, meet Illinois at Champaign with championship hopes for both teams hanging In the balance. . .

The ' Hawkeyes showed the class of champions In blocking a late second half Purdue rally to win a game they had to have, thereby moving back into a tie with O. S. U. at seven victories and one defeat. BOWLING In Classic league last night Signal Oil won two out of three games from Rolling Pin (White 201 530), Domestic Laundry defeated Medford Feed and Seed two games to one (Porter 195 Swanson 621) and Maid Rite won three straight over Jim's Super Service (Learning 213 344).
