CASABA LAURELS Medford high's basketball crew cinched the Southern Ore gon conference championship here Friday night when they chalked up a 48 to 38 victory over Klamath Falls in a fast stepping game. The Black Tor nado has one league game yet to play, with Ashland here next Friday night, hut a loss to the Grizzlies would not affect Med ford 's first place spot in the lcariue standings. Jerry Ross started the scor Ing with a gift toss and the Tor nado ran up a 6-0 lead before Thorn, lanky Klamath center, could put his team in the scor ing column with a shot from under the basket. The Pelicans brought the count to 8-5 for Medford and then tied it 7-7 before Hover made good a free throw on Carl Reich's foul to give the Klamath county boys a one point lead at end of the initial quarter. Score Tied That was the only time Klam ath Falls led in the game al though they tied the count at 11-11 shortly after the second quarter started. The Tornado pulled slowly away from the tie and built up a 2b to 16 halftime advantage. After the third stanza got underway Bob Watson and Earl Stelle ran Medford's edge to 27 before Hover could hit for the Pels. Medford, paced with bas kets by Ross, Derrill Riggs and Bill Singler, took the count to 35 and 25 at end of the third period. With Riggs and Ross doing the scoring, the Red and Black made it 40 to 25 shortly after the final quarter got under way but Thorn, Coleman and Palmer connected to make it 46 to 36 with a minute and a half left to play. Each team looped in a basket In the waning sec onds to bring the final count to 48-38.

Main Ph. 3S47 r TO I Red Dawson, a rough and tough logger from Michigan, will make, his local debut when he meets Sgt. Bob Kenaston of Gold Hill in the opening bout of Wednesday night's wrestling card at Medford armory, Pro moter Mack Lillard said yester day. Dawson, , a wild and rugged campaigner, will give Kcnaston's comeback return a severe test. The Gold Hill marine appeared in good shape in his return to the , mat last week and showed a lot of his former style but will have to be on his toes if he wants to get over Dawson. An old favorite of the local tug and haul emporium, Cow boy Dude Chick, will make his first local appearance in several years when he goes against Steve Petroff in the semi-wind-up. Petroff, a tough customer in his own right, will have his hands full with tho airplane spin specialist who has lost none of his former color, according to those who have seen him in action lately. The six round main event pro mises a lot of fast and clever grappling when "Jumping Joe" Lynam, coast junior heavy weight champion, locks grips with Gust Johnson of Seattle. Johnson formerly held the belt and his boring-in style is the same as Lynam's which should make for an interesting set-to. DEFEATJ NAVY Annapolis, Md., Feb. 9 (U.R) North Carolina's basketball team handed navy Its first de feat of the season today, 51 to 49, leaving the nation without a major unbeaten college team. The Tarheels, putting on a big second" half rally clinched the victory after being behind at half time. The midshipmen had scored eight successive victories before today's engagement.

The locals entered the final four minutes with a 40-39 lead, but Buzzy Jones netted one to put the visitors ahead 41-40 sec onds after resumption of play following the official time-out. Then Stelle potted his and rang through another as the seconds ran out. Watson flicked in his seventh free toss of the fray for the final Medford point. Trailing 14-8 at the first stan za's close, the Oaklanders came back and made it a tight contest the rest of the distance as Buzzy Jones wormed his way between and around Medfordites time and again to amass 20 tallies and pace the scoring. Medford finished the half with a 22-21 advantage and Oakland had a 36-34 third canto lead. The tilt wound up in a flurry of wild ness that saw Ed Calista of the losers booted to the showers for his over-eagerness.
