PitflilSi
Will the big basketball aeries
this week end between Medford
high and Klamath Falls quin
tets be a battle of defenses? Not
entirely perhaps. But reports
from both schools point up that
defense may play a prominent
role. - v :vv:..:;-f;
Medford's high rated; and
Southern Oregon' Conference
leading Black Tornado is host
in the Pelicans Fridav and Sat'
urday nights. Varsity - contests
are billed for 8:15 p.m. follow
ing 6:45 p.m. preliminaries. Fri
day action will also have ninth
grade teams of the two commu
nities meeting at the junior high
here. . : - . "v J-"-
Coach Frank Roelandt- said
early in the week that, the em
phasis in drills would be on de
fense and that department -of
the hoop sport got concentra
tion yesterday as the Tornado
drilled against the anticipated
Pel offense in the last real heavy
workout of the week. .
Pels Labor
At Klamath Falls, the new
mentor, Don Peterson told the
newspaper, Herald . and' News,
that he is working the Pels hard
to find some way to halt the
Black Tornado which has aver
aged 63.8 points per game so
far this season. Peterson didn't
elaborate but said only , that he
was trying to work upV'some
thing." The Pels have the prob
lem1, of stopping the Tornado
both inside and out for, if Med
ford is "on" as it has been so
far this season, it can score well
from both close and far away
against both zone and man-toman
defenses. ; . ',
. Defense against height and
the scoring of Dave D'Olivo and
a struggle for rebound control
is Medford's - problem ' The
Klamath --. coach i. has indicated
that hell start the same gang
he did last week against uranis
Pass in hopes of taking board
control away from Medford.

Basketball's new wave: of up
sets claimed still, another: big
name . victim today, knocking
mighty -Missouri i out .of r jfirst
place in the Big Seven. Confer
ence I ';
Kansas State, beaten twice by
Missouri . in! previous meetings
this season, suddenly turned on
the Tigers Wednesday . night and
beat them, 78-67, on their own
home court at Columbia, Mo.
The defeat smashed a six-game
Missouri winning streak and left
Colorado alone in first place in
the league.
. Before the -game Missouri and
Colorado had been tied for first
place eacn with ."a 3-0 league
mark. ; :;v:.:;' t:t
Missouri beat UK-State on a
neutral ' court,' ": 89-71, in last
month's Big Seven tournament
and also on State's home court,
94-86, only last Saturday But
this time Missouri was "stone
cold," sinking only 33.8 per cent
of its shots, while Kansas State
was '. "red hot" with a 51 per
cent shooting percentage.' .
Puerto Rican Sparkplug -
Pachin Vincens, a 5-foot, 9-
tnch sophomore from Puerto
Rico, wsa -the -sparkplug pf the
Kansas State team, leading the
scoring with 21 i points and
playing a j brilliant floor- game.
Roger Craft aided with 15
points, but Bob Reiter of Mis
souri took high Scoring honors
for the game with 32 points.
For Missouri, currently i rank
ed, the nation's lo. 8 team, ' it
was' only the third loss in 13
games and its first home court
loss since bowing to Kansas
State last Feb. 27.
Missouri's defeat marked the
third straight -night that upsets
had r; stunned league-leading
teams. ,On Monday, Illinois lost
a . share of the Big Ten lead and
Vanderbilt a share of the South
eastern Conference lead in sur
prise defeats. And Tuesday, Tex
as Christian lost undisputed con
trol of first place in the South
west Conference, dropping back
into a tie.

Duquesne, the nation's sixth-
ranked team, also tasted defeat
Wednesday night but the loss
was to a non-college team. Un

That, however, was long ago

. .There are three things that
can happen thjis week. Medford
can sweep' --the series, and
strengthen its league league, it
can split and maintain the stat
us quo or Klamath can win
both games and take over the
lead.
While the loop championship
would be far from clinched, a
series sweep would : be a big
boost to the - Medford cause.
Such outcome would give the
Tornado a clean mark for the
first half of the loop season
and only a split in each of the

needed to wrap up the mantle.
