which they broke even, the
Medford high basketball team,
leading the Southern Oregon
conference, will go against Ash
land on the Medford high court
tonight in a non-conference
game.
f Medford won a league mix
from the Grizzlies in Ashland

ners. The Tornado will likely miss

eligible after Saturday night's
game with the Oregon Frosh.
Bostwick is a midterm student,
graduating this week. His place
will be taken by Carl Reich, a
capable guard but he lacks Bost
wick's playing experience.
Coach Al Simpson said the
red and black were, consider
ably bruised following the rough
skirmishes over the week-end
and had only light drills slated
for the team last night. They
were pretty stiff and sore last
night, the coach said, but will
be ready to go again tonight.
The league leaders will get
back In the conference harness
Friday night when they travel
to Grants Pass for a circuit
clash. They meet the Oregon
State Hooks in a return game at

the offering. In the semi-windup
Chester Hayes, all-service cham

his first local appearance when
he collides with Herb Parks.
Canadian champion, in the three
round opener.
A match that fans have been
waiting two weeks to see is the
six round main event between
Pete Belcastro and Joe Lynam.
Belcastro claims Lynam is a
"cheese champ" and demands a
title shot. Lynam says Belcas
tro's record is too spotty to qual
ify him for the chance at the
crown. Hot words Were ex
changed between them in the
dressing room following last
week's matches and Lynam fin
ally agreed to a non-title match.
If Belcastro can win that he
will be considered for a title
shot.
