on the 1953-54 season including

UNUSUAL LOW
There's a difference of opin

four, and all in the second half,

B Leaguers
Vie Tonight
On 3 Courts
There is nothing but non
league activity this week for
basketball quintets of the South
ern Oregon Conference Big
Four.
Leader of the Big Four, Med-
ford's potent Black Tornado,
which rested last week, swings
back into competition with a
kings-x series, opposing Marsh
field at Coos Bay on Friday fend
Saturday. The rip-roaring Tor
nado won't be seen on its home
court until February 12 when it
entertains Grants Pass.
Ashland, tail-ender of the loop
will travel to Roseburg on Tues
day while Grants Pass will be
host to Roseburg on Friday.
The top clubs, unbeaten Rogue
River, and once-tripped Talent,
are' expected to keep their places
in the Jackson County B loop.
Three games are billed this eve
ning, Jacksonville at Talent, St.
Mary's at Butte Falls and Pros
pect at Rogue River. Friday
skirmishes will be Jacksonville
at Prospect, Rogue 'River at
Butte Falls and Talent against
St. Mary's in Medford.
In the Rogue league on Friday
Crater will play at' Eagle Point
and Phoenix journeys to Cave
Junction to play Illinois Valley.
Saturday night tangles take Illi
nois Valley to Phoenix and
Eagle Point to Central Point
against Crater.
Crater holds two previous
wins over Eagle Point, which
appears to be on the upgrade.
Phoenix split with Illinois Val
ley when loop play opened but
since then has divided with Cra
ter, and won twice from Eagle
Point-, Crater and Eagle Point
have won by wide margins
over IV. " ' ";.'

Palm Springs, Calif. (U.R)
It took 92 holes of the most
gruelling golf he ever played to
do it, but blond Shelley Mayf ield
of Chicopee, Mass., today has
his most-satisfying victory.
He won the $15,000 Thunder
bird Invitational Monday by
first defeating Fred Haas, the
defending champion in 18 holes
and finally eliminating big Mike
Souchak, the former Duke uni
versity football star from Dur
ham, N.C., on . the ' 2Qth extra
hole.
This trip had gone the originally-scheduled
' 27 holes in a
deadlock with some of the great
est golf in years. They ended
up with 270 totals 18 under
par. '
Atsthe end ' of the next 18-
holes ih the play-offs, Mayf ield
and Souchak were three under
with 69 and Haas two under
with 70. But Haas was eliminat
ed and became a third place fin
isher, after three-putting the
18th. .

Kentucky only five of 15. -' "
