EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, January 21, 1953 BUM TORNADO OPPOSES KLAMATH'S PELS TOKHTvSATURDAY 1H 'TC While the door can't be opened Immediately by the gale blasts of the Black Tornado, the" key could be provided this week end for Medf ord high's aspired entry into the basketball champion ship halls of the Southern Oregon Conference. .. .. . Medf ord, top-rated in Oregon and undefeated in its circuit, takes on what promises to be its strongest conference opposition tonight and Saturday night as host here to' the second-running Klamath Falls Pelicans.. Games at 8:15 o'clock will come after 6:45 o'clock junior varsity pre Iiminaries. ' .- .: Meanwhile, tail-ender Grants Pass goes to Ashland tonight and i the third-spot . Grizzlies travel to Grants Pass tomorrow, r The Klamath series , here def initely has "key" status for the Black Tornado., There are two good reasons. First, Medford has a ' chance to take a : whopping three-game lead over Its nearest rival at - the Midway Pause "of the pennant romp. Second, Med ford - can use - home court" tri umphs as insurance against its late February " trip to Pelican Land. There is an old Klamath gym jinx that could harass the Tornado. . !" - . . . ' Week end action ha a show. down tinge even at this stage of the campaign. Klamath, once- marred in the league, has a big opportunity to upset and' boom in front of the No. 1-in-Oregon Black Tornado. The Pels, even with a series split, will , keep right on the heels of the. Med fordites -in league contention. Medford needs a series sweep if it is to grasp this week end the means of' tripping the tumblers. - Aside from the title chase, there . are other aspects of in terest in the , Medf ord-Klamath scuffles. The curiousity con cerns whether and how the big, rugged' Pelicans can stop - the high-powered, driving, hustling Medford offensive which has run up per-game averages of 76.25 or the loop and 63.8 for the sea- sonl And, there is the haunting question of Medford's ability, to cope with the all-around height of the Pelican quintet : Klamath's ' altitude and the shooting of a couple of its big boys have been the assets " in running up a record of six wins and four losses for the season. Medford's strength in its 12-1' season has been in good balance of all departments. Both clubs have held down their opposition effectively with iron defense and fine backboard work. The Tornado has its own tall men in 6-4V Glenn Peterson and Jerry Kalapus. It has faced a couple of clubs this season with taller, players than boasted 'by 1.IeimvCwTribune BOWLING v Twenty three teams are sched uled to roll their rounds Satur day and Sunday in the men's city tournament at Medford Bowling lanes.

Ability to get and control the ball paid off handsomely for the Tornado ; against ; both Grants Pass and Ashland. Klamath has an asset that may prove an equal izer under the boards this week. D'OlivoTops Dave D'Ohvo, 6-4, provides the main scoring punch of " the Pelicans and Guy Munsell, 6-2, is another big gun. D'Olivo has radar sense . in hooking and tip ping the ball into the bucket and is a terrific rebounder. : Right behind him in the boards de partment is 6-3 Marlin Causey. Larry Yarnell, 6-2, . rounds out the. likely; starting height.. As if the ; tall men were not enough, the Pels have a .half- pint speed merchant, in, 5-6 Jack Sunitsch.
