2 . 3! J.:.L S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Trlday, February 11, 195S I, 'i I I.: Black Tonight; SOUTHERN OREGON CONFERENCE STANDINGS . W. L. Medf ord 6 0 Klamath Fall 3 3 Grants Pass 2 4 Ashland 1 5 Pet 1.000 .500 .333 .167 When bigger and better gim micks are needed to spur an athletic team to fighting fury, Grants Pass high has been known to concoct them. And the Cavemen have come up with an other for their Southern Oregon conference basketball series to night and Saturday night with Medf ord No. 1 Black Tornado. Grants Pass is host to Medford this evening snd the quintets move onto the Tornado floor on Saturday. But the two games will .not end the activity this week end in connection with the series. The aftermath will be on Sunday on Sixth street in GP. Caveman Coach Ray Davis and his aide, Gordon Prehm, have made a bet with Gerry Hal bert and Maxine Fender, GPHS girls' physical education instruc tors. If the Cavemen beat Med ' ford, just one game of the se ries, the gals will have to push the coaches down the main drag in wheelbarrows. However, if GP fails to upset the Tornado, the coaches will have to do the pushing while the players pull the wheelbarrows with ropes. Davis said, "Like all parades, Hoop Time Limit Rule Liked With Modifications New York (U.R) A majority of 42 leading college coaches pol led by the United Press favor some form of professional bas ketball's 24-second rule for next season if the zone defense is abolished. ' - , Ten coaches polled favor out right adoption of the pros' 24 second rule to prevent stalling 11 advocate passage' of the rule with certain modifications; while 15 expressed opposition. Two other coaches thought the 24-second rule feasible if the zone de fense is abolished. Oppose Bonus Rule - The coaches could not agree upon any clear-cut proposal that might reduce fouling, although most were against the present "bonus" rule. They voted 17-10 against the pro practice of widen ing the free throw lanes to 12 feet. Under the , pro rules a team must get off a shot within 24 seconds ofter it gains possession of the ball and after a team has committed six personal fouls in uny period, the opponents re ceive an extra free throw oppor tunity each time it is fouled thereafter during that quarter. Jimmy Carter Favored in Bout Boston U.R) Lightweight champion Jimmy Carter of New York was the slight favorite to 1 end Tony DeMarco's victory string at 15 when he meets the Boston welterweight in a sched- j uled 10-round non-title fight tc 'night at Boston Garden. . Carter was rated on top by , about 7-5 although he figured to give six pounds away to the highly-regarded North End bat tler, who looked impressive in past week workouts. Eastern Oregon Host to Owls Xa .Grande (U.R) Eastern Oregon ' plays host to Oregon Tech in a week end Oregon Col legiate Conference basketball se ries here. ' Both teams are out of the title' running, EOCE has a 5-5 mark and OTI a 2-7 record. Portland State, the confer ence leader, hosts Seattle-Pacific Saturday night. Ski Conditions Skiing conditions were re ported fair today at Orater Lake National park and the outlook at Union Creek ap-' peared good for the week end. The park service reported 75 inches of snow at Crater lake. South and west en trances lo the park were open to the rim. Chains or snow lires were needed for the trip from park headquarters lo the rim. , Thirty inches of snow at Union Creek were reported hy the forest service. Pos sible snow was the forecast for the area. The tow operates cnX Wednesdays. Saturdays and Sundays. Termiadp IP lays at G ranis Pass ifliMs this one will begin at the court house. The foregoing sidelight on the Tornado-Cavemen indicates that the GP boys may be fired high to overcome the Medfordites who have handed them their worst setbacks of the season. Medford's loop leading cagers aren't giving much thought, nev ertheles, to the forthcoming ca pers on the GP city street. They are, however, ' suspicious of Cavemen gimmicks and shenan igans on the maplecourt and have been making every effort to be ready for whatever the Cavemen come up with in the two night series. "They'll be ready for us. We're liable to see anything and all," Coach Frank Roelandt of Medford ventured. Reports from down at Grants PCL To Loan To SD Fori Ball Park t By HAL WOOD San Francisco (U.R) The Pa cific Coast League, heartened by baseball commissioner' Ford C. Frick's crackdown on "loose talk" about big league expan sion, swung into a lavish park re building ' program today with San Diego the first club to get into the gravy. At its annual league meeting yesterday, PCL directors voted a $100,000 loan to the Padres to help finance a stadium which may be erected in the city's Bal boa Park. The loop also appointed Oscar Vitt, former manager of the Cleveland Indians, to work as a "trouble shooter" for the presi dent. 1 A three-man committee was named to consider plans for a league scouting system in other top business of the meeting. Big Plans Claire Goodwin, newly elect ed league president, said the PCL was going ahead with plans to become a powerful organiza tion. The park rehabilitation proj ect may. extend . to Oakland, Portland and Hollywood where the present stands are outmoded. However; none pf the owners concerned indicated they are ready to discuss building plans now. San Diego's loan is to be , re paid by taking five per cent from the visiting club's share of the gate receipts so that each team gets 35 per cent instead of the usual 40 per cent cut of the "net receipts when on the road. The difference will go to the league to help pay for the park. Saxton Picked Over Delaney Akron, O U.R) Johnny Saxton, world welterweight champion from . Brooklyn, is heavily favored to beat home town hopeful Ronnie ' Delaney tonight in a 10-round non-title fight at the Armory. The fight originally was sche duled for Jan. 14 but was post poned when Saxton suffered a back injury while training. : BASKETBALL THURSDAY COLLEGE SCORES East St. Louis 87, NYU 66 La Salle 76.
