For the conference-championship is the first objectiveon the road to the state tournament and the hopes and aspirations of all. four schools; are high. : Defending Titlist Grants Pass high, state meet entry last year, comes to Medford for one of the Friday openers. Klamath Falls will be at Ashland. Same pair ings are scheduled Saturday night Klamath Falls will remain at Ashland but Medford's Black Tornado travels to Grants Pass to complete its two-game week nd aeries. The Tornado, carrying a good pre-campaign record into action, has been established as the fav orite. But the Medford quint and it coach. Frank Roelandt, are amone the first to admit that ore-season success is no guaran tee in a league race, particularly in the Southern Oregon Confer ence. , pal nressure roes on this week end and ability of .the Tor nado come through under that pressure in the games that count will determine its success in the drive to regain the crown it last held in 1953. The tune-up cam- naiffn in December showed some measure of the conference mem ber' caoabilities but one or two of the clubs may not hit their : stride until the league season is well underway. Medford cagers today, in their last workout before opening the Grants Pass series, sought to get am of the ziD back that seemea to be missing yesterday. Coach Roalandt characterized the drill ; as sluggish, saying that the, or nado has had smoother work : cuts. He added that the shooting was' "normal."

Last year Prospect failed to win a league game but the Cougars may be tougher -. this year.
