Fanfare By DICK JEWETT Mw Tribum Sport Editor Mike DeVore, Medford high school's all-conference football center, has been named to the! all-state team picked for "Ex change Vues." publication of the Farmers Insurance Exchange, so we note from Bob Swan's Prep Patter in the Oregonian. Don Peterson, new head bask etball tutor at Klamath union high school, has picked Medford as the team to beat this year in the Southern Oregon Conference chase and already, in Medford itself, the confidence has been expressed that the Black Tor nado will be a contender in the state tournament next March. Medford high's hoopmen, to us, appear to have the material and the potential to make the grade. But we certainly don't -want to see that confidence and enthusiasm become overconh- dence. There's 12 hard games and a play-off standing in the way of a tourney berth and none of the conference schools, so far as we can see it now, is going to be a push over. DONOVAN CONSIDERED Among those being consid ered for the presidency of ihe Pacific Coast league, vacated by Clarence Rowland, is Jerry Donovan, now in his eighth season as prexy of the Calif ornia Stale league. That's the report of L. H. Gregory in his column in ihe Oregonian. Donovan will be remembered here as ihe president of the Far West league which lasted the seasons 1948 through 1951 and in which Medford fielded a ieam. The Class C loop head is a hustler and hard worker and his circuit is con sidered one of ihe best govern ed in baseball, according io re ports picked up by Gregory. EUGENE NEXT Medford this week end runs into a quint that may prove as ihe season progresses, io be one of ihe top crews in ihe state, encountering. Eugene, last year's runner-up for ihe Oregon Class A prep mantle. The games will be Friday and Saturday in ihe university; city. The Tornado won't be seen on the home court again until December 17 when it will be host io Eagle Point. Eugene whacked Benson Tech,of Portland 61 io 45 last Friday. Big gun of ihe Axe-, men appears io be Mike Mor an. He played ihree quarters and flipped in 23 points against Tech. Medford boasts height this year but has no one who can match Moran's 6 feet 8 inches. Against Eagle Point, ihe Tornado will tackle ihe fav orite in ihe small A school Rogue League race and ihe leading contender for honors in ihe Little Six subdivision of lhis district. INTIMATE BOOK Two prep basketball dope books were received by this de partment last week, one from Eagle Point and the other from North Bend. Both are informa tive. The North "Bend booklet is on the "straight" or formal side while the Eagle book is infor mal or, more accurately "in timate." In addition to the usual info about height, weight, age, ex perience and abilities of the players, the Eagle dope book editors have included the color of the boy's hair and eyes. "Pastimes" of the hoopmen, ranging from young ladies to milking cows, are reported along with their ambitions. Similar in formation is included about the yell leaders and majorettes and the junior varsity players. Editors of the booklet were Marvena Nelsen, Carole Nelsen, Diane Tuttle and Marcia "Wood . ward. SUPPORT APPRECIATED Since the Medford Independ ent Basketball League is a non profit organization, it cannot charge admission to its games at the Medford junior high gym nasium, President Bill Eingler, however, emphasized that any contributions will be gratefully accepted when the hat is passed at the tussles to help defray ex penses. ' CLINIC SUCCESS Paul Evensen, Medford high grappling coach, said thai ihe wrestling clinic here last Sat urday was a big success. Suih erlin. Myrtle Creek, Illinois Valley, Klamath Falls, Grants Pass, and Medford high schools and Southern Oregon college were represented. About 150 would-be wrestlers and coaches attended. Coach Bill Hammer, University of Oregon, conducted the clinic and brought five Webfoot team members. BOWLING DEADLINE Association Secretary Bob Lane has stressed that entries in the Medford Bowling association tournament must be in by Christmas. The tourney will be conducted January 8 and 9, 15 and 16 and 22 and 2 with team tangles on Saturdays and sin gles and doubles on Sundays. TO DELAY TROUT PLANTING Trout will not be planted this fall at Diamond 1 a k e, -J Cole Rivers, Grants Pass, Ore gon State Game Commission biologist, has reported. It is planned io put the fish in ihe lake as early in the spring as it can be reached. A total of 100,000 kamloops trout are be ing held at Oakridge for the project. All fish in the lake were killed, so far as has been de termined, by the September 21 treatment with leihal ro ienone. Aim of ihe undertak ing was io rid the lake of coach, a trash fish which had ruined sports fish. From time to time since the lake has been tested for toxic condition by placing live fish in the water. Last lime the iesi was made, in ihe week prior io Novem ber, fish still died. There is possibility that confinement in the trap rather than rote none killed the fish. But game men do noi wish io take ihe risk of a fall planting and perhaps lose a lot of valuable Prep Basketball Tourney. Opens Thursday at SOCE Ashland Southern Oregon college will hold its 25th invita tional tournament for high school basketball teams Thurs day, Friday and Saturday this week. The tourney is being held for the first time in December. It was previously a spring event. Eight teams have entered the silver anniversary tournament. They are Fort Jones, Calif., Butte Fatfs, St. Mary's of Med ford, Prospect, Jacksonville, Camas Valley, Talent and Pais ley. Consolation Play There will be a consolation bracket for first round losers. Those losing in the Friday cham pionship play will vie for third place. Dan Bulkley, director of athle tics at the college is in charge of the tournament. He said that the change to December was made because it was felt there would be more interest in the vent, It was felt that teams did not care to hold out games dur ing the season in order to com pete at Ashland (the Oregon limit is 22 tilts), and that, inter est in an invitational - tourna ment wanes in March, the tail end of the season. Decision to hold the tourney at this time was made' late and that accounts much for the small entry. But another idea is that the new time will in the future draw more teams and better teams. In the past the top team in this area among the B schools has gone' into the state tourna ment and is not . available for play .at Ashland. This has made the invitational sort of a consola tion affair taking some of its prestige away. ' ' Fort Jones will face Butte Falls and St.' Mary's will meet Prospect Thursday afternoon. Evening games match Jackson ville against Camas Valley and Talent against Paisley. Humboldt State Gang Raps SOCE Red Raiders 78-65 Ashland The Humboldt State college Lumberjacks,, adept at working for good shots and mak ing them count and skillful at breaking up the rival offense, subdued the Southern Oregon college basketball aggregation 78 to 62 here Monday night .in the first .of a two-game series. Second fracas is tonight at 8:05 o'clock following a 6:30 o'clock curtain-lifter between the SOC jayvees and an independent team. Humboldt was slow to get moving and lagged by five points in the early minutes. The 'Jacks went ahead at the 8:30 mark of the fracas and stayed, on top for keeps. They led 20 to 16 with 10 minutes of the first half played then pulled to a 10-point advan tage 28 to 18. Half time score was 37 to 30. Southern Oregon cut the bulge to 37 to 32 as the second half got underway. But, after that, the California team widened the gap by degrees. With three-fourths of the game completed the Lum berjacks had' a 21-point 60 to 39 margin. A few moments later they spread 25 points, 66 to 42. Lead Too Big The-Red Raiders of the Rogue rallied in the closing portion of the struggle but the Humboldt bulge was well more than suf- ncient to witnstand the surge and. the nearest the Southern Oregonians got was the 13-point fish. The kamloops now held are five and six inches long. Another shipment of 500,000 eggs is expected for hatching in the spring. Fingerlings from this hatch would be planted in ihe summer,',-, By far a majority of. the fish exterminated . in September apparently have remained on the bottom of ihe lake, accord ing io Rivers. Some of the bigger fish have come to the' surface a few at a time over a long period of time. ft f i (Haifa ) .100 PK00F HI 3 100 PROOF PREMIUM QUALITY STRAIGHT BOURBON $415 6 Pint Ho1kr$ We W.A.HALLER CORP., PHIIA, PA.

He . collected 25 points Slick Dick Lillebo of the Raid ers was not far behind with 22. Keith Johnson of SOC and Lar ry Taylor of Humboldt each had 16 counters. Joe Myers got 11 for the California club. SOC got a 5 to 0 lead all on foul shots as the game com menced and the Ashlanders had margins of 7 to 2 and 9 to 4 before Humboldt got underway The gap was whacked to 9 to 8, 11 to 10, 13 to 12 and 15 to 14. Then Ibaretta hit from the field for a Humboldt lead of 16 to 15 Sharpshooting George followed with a pair of gift buckets and the Lumberjacks were off to the races. Johnson Paces It was Johnson who provided the spark for the Raiders as they made their bid in the final stages and cut down the wide HSC ad vantage. He got 10 points in a row for SOC and Lloyd Hoffine and Lillebo helped out as the margin was hacked to 70 to 55 Lillebo contributed three more before fouling out. Dale Bats got two points and LeRoy Springer five to round out the SOC total for the night. Humboldt displayed the finer polish but both clubs had their ragged times. The game got slam-bang, rough and tumble and -wild at times. The Raiders showed flashes of good work but couldn't get consistently going. The Californians were a group of ballhawks and used gang methods frequently to get control of the ball or tie it up In the preliminary the SOC junior varsity clubbed Jackson ville 63 to 48.
