EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, January 14, 1955 Mland Tornado most To Cagers -Here" This Evening s From the Ashland Tidings: "If AHS Coach Al Simpson is cooking up any special strategy for (tonight's) Medf ord-Ashland o mix, he's keeping it pretty well to himself and his boys as he has been drilling his charges behind locked doors in prepara tion for the Grizzlies entry into ' battle against the No. 1 rated team in the state.". That's a pretty good indication that the Grizzlies have something brewing for the Southern Ore gon Conference basketball series tonight at Medford and Satur day night at Ashland. And, Frank Roelandt, coach of the potent Medford Black Tornado, has come back with the report that "we hope to be ready for any- 0 thing that happens." : The Tidings in its Thursday issue goes on to say that Simp son, while admitting that the Tornado is more than a zephyr this year, isn't conceding any thing despite the' fact that the oGrizzlies go to the post minus the services of regular Center Jim Sutherlin, their big man on the backboards. Freshman Brought Up Sutherlin suffered a locked knee last week end and Ash- o iana repons nun aeiinixeiy on the shelf for the Medford series. The knee is slowly responding to 0 lyeatment. . u With its 6-414 boys, Glenn Pet erson and Jerry Kalapus, Med ford will have a height advant age. That has prompted Simp- ) 1 : : $40 CONTRIBUTED 5 Sams Valley Sams Valley grade school student body has given $40 to the March of Dimes. The total represents gate re ceipts and contributions at a re Cent basketball game with Gold Hill. Sams Valley won both games, taking the A scuffle 33 to 0 17 and the B clash 30 to 27. son to move a freshman up to the varsity. He is Jack Tobias son, 6-2 center. Tobiasson is re ported plenty fast and not a bad shot but lacking in experience. Once he gets a bit of varsity action, he could be a big help to the Lithian club. Another quote from the Tid ings is: , "About the only, thing favor ing the Grizzlies is the fact that they're distinct underdogs in the week end's affairs, while the Tornado is definitely in the class of 'uneasy lies the head that wears a crown'." Medford may be in that class but it still will have to earn the crown to wear it. Grants Pass is defending champion. There's still 10 league frays ahead that must be hurdled in the title quest. Roelandt has reported that Frank Rector, Larry Copple and Bud Kastner, as usual, are the probable starters for Medford along with Kalapus and Peter son. Phil Sword likely will oc cupy Sutherlin's spot and other starters may be Stu Baker, Gene Parent, Jerry Mickle and Harry Johnson.

Boxing Chairman Asks Cooperation New York (U.R) Tough Jul ius Helfand, who can "lick my weight in wildcats," wants co operation in cleaning up the fight game if it's .as bad as de scribed in the press lest he be forced to destroy" it. "I do not want to destroy it,' the new chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission said Thursday night at the an nual dinner of the Boxing Writ ers Association. "If I destroy boxing I will not have accomp lished anything." Attorney Balks Helfand, though an out-spoken Democrat, had the avowed back ing of Republican Jacob K. Ja vits, new state attorney-general. Javits told the 521 diners in the Hotel New Yorker's grand ball' room, "as attorney-general I am Helfand's .attorney, and I pledge you a really effective, fighting team. Helfand warned that the clean up of boxing should start right in the boxing clubs among pro moters and matchmakers, "if there is a job to do." He declared, "They should re fuse to do business with un savory characters, if .they exist' That was the first cooperation he wanted from persons in the fight game.
