There has been considerable enthusiasm expressed concern ing the Black Tornado this sea son. Most reports paint a -bright outlook. The Medfordites with their best height in a number of seasons have .' been rated both favorite and "sleeper" in the Southern Oreeon circuit. ' Action this week end will give some indication and the strength of the Tornado will become more apparent in the games with Eu gene, Eagle '.Point, North Bend Rosebure and Cleveland of Port land, which are scheduled before the loop campaign begins on January 7 against Grants Pass. No information has been re ceived here concerning the Eu reka Loggers! However, they are usually regarded as a power house in the northern Califor nia coast area and their tussle with the Tornado could be a whale of a contest.- Some bie lads from the crew which Med ford tipped on a California trek last winter are expected to be in the Logger line-up for the ajK pearance here. The Tornado had only a lieht workout yesterday as it sot in final tune for the jamboree. uoacn jfranK Roelandt said that he will take his full squad of 17 boys to Grants Pass tonight.

New McArthur "Court, rated as one of the west's finest basketball pavilions, reopens to night when the Oregon State Beavers ; meet the-'.. California Bears and the Santa Clara Bron cos play the Oregon Ducks in an early season double-header. The twin bill marks the open ing of the 1954-55 season for three teams, the Beavers havmg played Hawaii at home in its first game, and all four clubs move to Corvallis Saturday night for the second game of the week end action. The second night's action will match the Beavers against the Broncos and the Ducks against the Bears. Fans will get their first look at McArthur Court Friday night following the mammoth recon struction project which added two new balconies to each side of the "Igloo", eliminated the side posts, added four stair towers, doubled the floor light ing and added a new scoreboard. The project, which cost in ex cess of $275,000 from the Ath letic Department reserve funds, will raise the capacity of Mc Arthur Court to 10,000 and give's the fans the closest proximity to the playing floor of any court in the west. No seat will be more than 26 rows from the sidelines.. Gov. Paul Patterson, Chancel lor Charles Byrnes, President O. Meredith Wilson and Athletic Director Leo Harris will take part in the dedication ceremonies which will take place between the games.

" Help for Minors Up To Majors Houston, Tex: U.R) It was up to the major leagues today to decide whether the struggling minor basebal circuits are to get the relief they've been clamor ing for in the way of television .and radio curbs and more finan cial balms. ; '. -,;: " The nation's 33 minor leagues did their part ' Thursday in ap proving amendments which would forbid the majors from authorizing either radio broad casts or . telecasts . of major league games into minor league territories. They also endorsed an amend ment to the major-minor league agreement that would, for the first time in history, set out spe cific financial considerations the majors would have to make in setting ; up working . agree ments with the lower minors Class B, C and D. 4 r But the approvals will ; be worthless unless the majors also concur at their meetings next week in New York. The radio and television restrictions have been knocked down by the ma jors in the past and there was little optimism here on the final day of the minor league meet ings that the majors would change their tune. . The working agreement deal seemed to face a better fate.

TO U I S V It I f ,jK t N 1 UCH Quarterbacks Agree Pro Game Roughl : By EARL WRIGHT ' United Press Sports Writer , Commissioner Bert Bell claims the .National Football League plays the roughest versiCn of the game and the circuit's quar terbacks probably second the motion. . . - Six of the 12-team pro league's T-formation quarterbacks have received more or less serious injuries so. far this season. - And that injury list doesn't include the bumps and bruises the passers take every week. : Charlie Conerly, the New York Giants' seven-year veteran, is the ' latest quarterback side lined by the league's aggressive defensive linemen'. : Conerly was leading the league in touehdown passes with .17 when when, he suffered torn ligaments . in . his right knee as three enthusiastic Cleveland Browns, landed . on him early in last Sunday's game. George Blanda. the. converted linebacker who , plays ; for ' the Chicago Bears, was headed for a flock of new passing records when ' he was "sidelined for " the season while playing against Cleveland two weeks ago. : Tittle, Finks Hurt 1 - : The other top-ranking signal callers injured this year1 were Y. A. Tittle of San Francisco and " Jim - Finks : of Pittsburgh. The Forty-Niners started the campaign rated as one . of the league's top clubs but a stream of injuries, including a. broken left hand suffered by Tittle, turned them into an also-ran. Finks suffered a broken bone in' his cheek early in the season, one of a number of injuries that softened the Steelers.' V . , ' Arnie" Galiffa, another , San Francisco quarterback, suffered a broken hand and Gary Ker korian, the V Baltimore Colts' top signal caller, has been ham pered by injuries. Much of the success of the Lions and Browns is due to the combination of ability to absorb physical beatings and luck which has enabled Layne and Otto Graham to play quarter back for those two teams season after season. Both have been in jured but have missed very lit tle action. . The key game's this week end will be played , at Detroit and Washington. The Philadelphia Eagles visit Detroit and a victory or a tie will clinch a third straight West ern Division title for the Lions. The Browns visit Washington and a victory over the Redskins will clinch at least a tie for East ern honors for Cleveland. This week's selections with won-lost-tied records .in paren theses: Saturday: Rams (5-4-1) over Colts (2-6) at Los Angeles; Sun day: Lions (8-1) over Eagles (6- 4) at Detroit; Browns (7-2) over n THE CALIFORNIA OREGON POWER COMPANY - . t . . . . -1 " . . - . - .- . , ...... ........ . . , :.'
