lineup when the Black Tornado
plays Eureka, - Calif., here at

out tne largest number likely
will wait and see the Tornado
on its home court Saturdav.
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

Rededica tion of McArthur Court
Tonight At Hoop Doubleheader;
UO Plays Broncs, OSC Meets Cal
University of Oregon, Eugene
The. 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.
Coach Bill Borcher will start
an all-letterman : lineup in the
second game Friday, but the
large group of sophomores on the
Webfoot squad are tabbed as the
key to the Oregon success this
season and are certain to get
considerable action... '. Ray Bell,
thetough -defensive man, and
Max." Anderson, the . sophomore
center of a year ago, will man
the forward posts and Jim Los
cutoff," the brilliant rebounder,
has' returned from the service
to take over his old role at cen
ter. -- - .
In the backcourt, where the
Ducks lost three three-year vet
erans through graduation the
Webfoots will open with Howard
Page . and Jerry Ross. Ross
played forward a year ago and
Page was a second stringer.
Bill Moore, the former all
stater from The Dalles, and Ed

will fill in for Anderson and Bell

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.

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
