It will be the first ap pearance for the Rooks in South ern Oregon since start of the war. The visitors are coached by Frank Mandic, former all-northern division forward at Oregon State, who was recently honor ably discharged from the navy where he served as a lieutenant. The Rooks opened their schedule Wednesday night against the strong McMinnville high school team and will be meeting Med ford in their second test of the season. Coach Al Simpson said the Tornado five is expected to be at top strength for the game, which looms as the toughest on the local schedule to date. Jerry Ross is expected to be back in the lineup although Bill Singler might get the call because of his 20-point scoring spree against Klamath Falls. Medford and Grants Pass jun ior varsity crews renew their feud which started a week ago with Medford stealing a 48 to 46 win in the second overtime peri od. If anything like their last encounter, the main game will have to be a donnybrook to keep the spotlight. The preliminaiy is slated to start about 7:30 p.m. with the Rooks-Tornado clash set for 8:30.
