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 stage for the crucial gam
was set last night when Illinois
smashed Indiana, 71-48, and
Iowa's - resurgent Buckeyes
whipped Purdue, 48-43, using its
"Iron man five" of Clayton and
Herbert Wilkinson, Dick Ives,
Ned Poatels and Jack Spencer
the entire game.
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.
