basketball quintets of the Big
Four in the Southern Oregon
; Conference. ' ' - ,..
Medford plays host to Grants
Pass high's Cavemen in a battle
which matches two fast-moving
aggressive contingents. It will be
a tussle matching two clubs well'
balanced in height, " speed . in
shooting ability.
In the meantime speed also
will play arole in a conflict on
the Ashland high maplecourt as
.At ' . -
this year to get out of the cel
lar, to which they so often have
been relegated, Ashland enter-
iams luamatn raus, a quint
boasting good all-around height
and lots of ruggedness. Advance
reports indicate that speed will
be the main weapon of the
Grizzlies. . ;.-''

By, JOHN. GRIFFIN :
United Press Sports Writer
Utah, Pennsylvania, and St.
Louis three teams with high
hopes of winning conference
championships moved a stride
ahead in their campaigns today,
but only Utah found , the going
easy. ,' ' " - I " " "
The Utes, solid title choice in
the Skyline conference and
ranked, the No. 7 team in the
entire . nation, displayed "the
class that earned it those ratings
as it drubbed Denver, 82-58,
Thursday night on the opening
night ' of .'the Skyline's '. official
season. , .. ,
But Pennsylvania needed Bert
Leach's jump shot with seven
seconds left to' score a 54-52 win
over Harvard! in the Ivy league,
and St. Louis had to go into
overtime-to beat Houston, 85-84,
in " the Missouri Valley conference-
,r .; '
At Denver Coach Jack Gard
ner "used every man 'in the
squad as Utah rolled to its eighth
victory in 10 games. "The Utes,
who leaped to national promi
nence last month by upsetting
LaSalle, were paced by six-foiir
Art Bunte, who tallied 21
points, . and Morris ' Buckwalter,
who had 17. -- :
Other Skyline' Results - '
In other opening night games

walloped defending 5 champion
Colorado A&M, 85-68; Montana
nipped ,; Wyoming, 44-42; and
Brigham" Young trounced New
Mexico, 92-62.
Pennsylvania's one-basket win
came; only 24 hours after the
Quakers had squeezed past Yale
by exactly the same margin and
it kept them up there as a title
contender ; in . the - Ivy league
along with Cornell, Dartmouth,
and Princeton. ; r, V
Harvard could have, scored an
upset, but it couldn't handle the
6-foot 4-inch Leach. His. short
jump shot for the winning bas
ket gave- him a game-leading to
tal of 28 points. The score had
been tied at half time, 28-28.
