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.

George Iberreta was the big

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

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
