tween the two would have been

25 to 24 at the half but pulled
out further in front 44 to 32 at
the third quarter pause. Huntoon

MEDFORD (OREOOK! MAIL TRfBUXE 1EVEJC
Two of the oldest athletic riv
als in Oregon will clash Friday
on the Ashland Junior high gym
floor when the Black Tornados
from Medford high exchange
baskets with Ashland high's
Grizzlies in a Southern Oregon
conference-district 4 contest
starting about 8:30 p.m.
A prelim booked for 7 p.m.
will send the Tiger Cubs of
Medford after their 19th victory
in 21 starts when they take on
the Ashland high jayvees.
Tornado Heeds Win
Medford needs a victory to
morrow night to keep in what
ever chance it has of overtaking
league-leading Grants Pass.
While it is conceded the Cave
men are undefeated and the Tor
nado has lost two, a win by
Medford over G. P. and another
G. P. loss would tie them.
The Grizzlies lost a close
game to Medford earlier in the
season on the Tornado's floor
and with the rivalry always pre
eminent when the two schools
meet in sports, most anything
could happen Friday at Ashland.
Medford high cagers were a
bit downhearted last Saturday
night after losing a close, hard
fought and rough game to Klam
ath on the Pelicans' floor but
this week the local boys coach
ed by Frank Roelandt have set
tled down to a steady, deter
mined practice pace.
Local Has Spirit
The Tornado has shown spirit
and drive in practice this week
and has indicated no letdown.

Gordon's Indians
Salary, $35,000
Cleveland, O., Feb. 16 OJ.fi)
The Cleveland Indians today con
firmed the signing of Second
Baseman Joe Gordon, who pre
viously had expressed a desire
to bow out of major league base
ball In order to manage a Pa
cific coast club and be near his
home.
The veteran Gordon, who at
35 is still regarded one of the
best second basemen in the busi
ness, came to terms with Gen
eral Manager Hank Greenbers
in a long. distance telephone call
yesterday from his Eugene, Ore.,
home.
Greenberg said Gordon had
signed a one-year contract at the
same salary he received in 1949.
He was paid a reported $35,000
last year and it was believed that
a pay cut of $5,000 in the first
contract mailed him for this year
had been restored.
Bruins SHU Try
For Playoff Spot
i By United Press
The 'Kraut line legend re
mained intact today In the Na
tional Hockey league as the Bos
ton Bruins pressed the New
York Rangers for the last avail
able Stanley cup playoff spot.
With nine seconds left in the
game last night. Woody Dumart
slotted a pass over to Milt
Schmidt and the veteran center
caged it to give the Bruins a
2 to 2 tie with the New York
Rangers.
The stalemate kept the Bruins
three points behind the Broad
way Blues in their all-out dash
for a shot at the cup.
In the only other contest of
the evening, the down-trodden
Chicago Black Hawks blanked

still only a game behind the
leaders.
Coach Ken Schilling of Ash
land is quoted in the Ashland
Tidings as saying he plans to use
the fast break offense in the
hope of running the Tornado
squad to death Friday evening.
The Grizzlies may use a 1-3-1 de
fense to throttle the set attack
used by the Black Tornado.
Local Attack Smoother
The local club, on the other
hand, continues to smooth out
its attack with drills to improve
the shooting eyes and to set up
plays that bring local scores.
Much of this is methodical bas
ketball but It cn payoff as op
ponents have learned.
Many fans have remarked on
the deliberate, precise basket
ball that the Tornado throw,
against opponents that may be
slow in producing but its steadi
ness finally makes baskets.

Close Mills Over
Pollution Issue
Portland, Ore,, Feb. 18 !U.R)
Hearings on Willamette river
pollution were to continue to
day after the state sanitary
authority was told yesterday by
a Crown Zeiierbach lawyer that
the company would close Its
mills at West Linn and Lebanon,
Ore., If the authority held to an
earlier ruling that river pollu
tion abatement steps must be
made by Dec. 31, 1981.
Meanwhile, the authority was
told that five Willamette river
mills had been "stalling" for 11
years on the stream pollution
issue. The charge was made by
Izaak Walton League of America
representatives and spokesmen
from the Columbia River Salmon
and Tuna Packers' association.
sZellerbaeh Attorney Clarence
D. Phillips told the authority
that nresent means for treatina
waste sulphite were economically
mieasiDie.
Phillips was asked by John
Veaich, an authority member
and chairman of fhe State Fish
commission, whether it should
allow the paper mills to pollute
the river "without deadlines'
when cities are installing sewers
into the river in order to meet
deadlines.
Phillips fired back;
"If you're fixing a deadline
for us, we're planning to shut
down.
Phillip's statements were pre
pared by F, N, Youngman, vice
president of Crown Zeiierbach,
Youngman placed the responsi
bility on the state sanitary
authority In finding an economi
cal solution to the pollution
problem.
