Rector, Foust on Sick
List as Black Tornado
Preps for Ashlanders
Illness plagued the Medford
high Black Tornado today as it
girded for the series which could
assure it of the Southern Oregon
Conference Big Four Basket
hall crown. -
Coach Frank Roelandt re
ported Frank Rector and John
ny Foust on the sidelines as the
Tornado tuned up for its series
with the Ashland Grizzlies at
Ashland on Friday and here on
Saturday.
Rector, regular starting guard
and second high scorer on the
crew, has a touch of flu and has
been on a juice diet for a couple
of days. He was out for practice
Tuesday but missed yesterday's
drill. Foust, the first line re
serve, was cn hand for the work
out yesterday but Roelandt
stated that a sore throat will
keep him out today.
Reserves Named
The head mentor of the Tor
nado had hope of having the
two on hand for both Ashland
engagements. He said, however,
that if Rector is unable to start,
Ed McCullough or Lloyd Cear
ley may be named to take his
spot.
Ashland currently is deep in
the conference cellar with only
one victory in eight games. But
the Grizzlies could prove a
stumbling block in the Tornado

drive to cincn xne Tine, me asu
landers were in the cellar last
year and rose up to smack Med
ford in a high scoring struggle
after losing the first three games
of the season.
Coach Al Simpson, who had
his Ashlanders come up with
stalling tactics last week end in
a futile attempt to halt the Klam
ath Pelicans, could come up
with something similar against
Medford. He's more than likely
to have something up his sleeve.
Mickle May Play
Jerry Mickle, speedy guard,
too, may be back m the Grizzly
line-up. He's been out since
hurting his ankle a couple of
week ends ago in a skiing acci-

dent. There has been some
rumbling of other reasons.
Medford wants a series sweep
badly this week. That will give
the Tornado the banner no mat
ter what happens in the Grant
Pass-Klamath series this week
end at Grants Pass and in the
Medford series at Klamath next
week. Grants Pass could help
Medford by at least a series split
with the Pelicans.
Probable Medford starters this
week are Rector, if he's ready,
Larry Copple, .Jerry Kalapus,
Glenn Peterson and Bud Kast-
ner. Simpson may pick . his
Grizzly five from among Mickle,
Harry. Johnson, Doyce Lemley,

to boost his per game scoring ev
erage to 32.1 points. Only Floyd,
with 40 points in a single game

Red Cross
New York Chief beneficiary
from National Golf day proceeds
in 1955 will be the American
Red Cross, Frederick L. Riggin,
president of the National Golf
fund. Inc., which disburses tour
ney feets to golf-related courses,
announced today. ,
During the three years the
annual event has been staged,
the National Golf Fund has re
ceived $321,000 in $1 entry fees
which players pay to compete
against the National Open cham
pion. Half of that amount has
been presented to the USO and
the remainder distributed to
various organizations for turf
research, junior golf, handi
capped golfer and caddie scholar
ship programs, Riggin said.
Flexible Plan
In announcing Red Cross par
ticipation in 1955, Riggin ex
plained that the change in bene
ficiaries was made because the
Golf Fund wished to establish
a flexible charity-support plan
at this time and that this in no
way reflected upon the continu
ing need of the Armed Forces
for USO services. Golf fund of
ficials, Riggin said, believe that
such a plan will help assure the
continued vitality of the Na
tional Golf day program, which
each year has attracted more
and more players.
National Golf day is spon
sored by Life magazine and the
Professional Golfers association,
with the cooperation of the
United States Golf association.
In 1955 the event will be held
cn Saturday, June 4. The cham
pionship round will be played at
the Olympic Club, San Fran
cisco, site of this year's U. S.
Open tournament. Defending
champion will be Ed Furgol,
1954 Open winner.
This year, for the first time,
there will also be a champion
for women to compete against
Mrs. Mildred "Babe" Didrikson
Zaharies, 1954 Women's Open
winner. '.
Red Cross officials emphasized
that golf day receipts will be
returned to local chapters based
on participation in each com
munity. .
Tenley Albright
Appears Certain
To Grab Mantle
Vienna, Austria (U.R) Honey
haired Tenley Albright .of New
ton, Mass., won the compulsory
figures contest today and ap
peared certain to go on to win
the women's world figure skat
ing championship.
Only the same kind of un
lucky break that struck her
down last year can keep the
American teen-ager from being
crowned the 1955 women's skat
ing champion at the completion
of the competition tonight.
That was the opinion of the
world's leading skating experts
as the 19-year-old Miss Albright
carried a commanding lead into
today's "free skating" competi
tion, the final half of the wom
en's event.
Jenkins Victor
A triumph by the pretty young
medical student would give the
United States a sweep of the two
biggest titles at stake in the
tournament, for Wednesday
Hayes Alan Jenkins, of Akron,
Ohio, won the men's champion
ship for the third straight year.
Jenkin's victory, which gave
the United States the men's title
for ' the eighth straight year,
headed an American sweep of
the top three places. Ronald Rob
ertson of Long Beach, Calif.,
who actually outshone Jenkins
in the free skating-division, fin
ished second and David Jenkins,
17-year-old brother of the cham
pion, was third.

Crowley Named
To Pennsylvania
Athletic Group
Scranton, Pa. (U.R) James H.
(Sleepy Jim) Crowley, former
gridiron great newly appointed
to the Pennsylvania Athletic
Commission, said today he plans
to rid the racket-element, "if it
exists," from state boxing.
"We plan to make it one of the
cleanest and most ethical sports,"
said Crowley, one of Notre
Dame's famed Four Horsemen
and' former grid coach at Ford
ham University'.
Benjamin R. Donolow, a Phila
delphia Democrat, has charged
that boxing in Pennsylvania is
"racket-ridden' 'and has intro
duced a resolution for an inves
tigation of the sport by the state
legislature.
The 52-year-old Crowley said
he had a chat in Harrisburg
Wednesday with Gov. George M.
Leader who appointed him and
the result was a plan to forget
"what has happened in the past."
"We want to get a fresh start,"
said Crowley who appears in
line for the post as commission
chairman to succeed Frank Wie
ner of Philadelphia.
Two other commissioners must
be appointed and Crowley said,
"I will have a lot more to say
when I meet with them."
Crowley's appointment came
less than 24 hours after Leader,
a Democrat, fired the three Re
publican members of the com
mission. The appointment is
subject to approval by the Republican-controlled
state senate.
The other commissioners given
the gate in addition to Chairman
Wiener were George Jones of
Williamsport and John Holohan
of Pittsburgh.

Dons Extend
Win Strealc
To 18 Games
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Wriler
Marquette and San Francisco,
those twin tourney-bound comets
of the court, now have extended
their dazzling winning streaks
to 20 and 18 games, respective
ly. ' .
Marquette gained the 20-mark
easily with a 93-83 romp over
Bradley Wednesday night at
Peoria, 111., but San Francisco,
the nation's highest-ranked team
was hard-pressed to make No. 18
with a 65-57 decision over St.
Mary's at Moraga, Calif. Each
victor now sports a 20-1 record.
But St. Mary's, with a 6-16
record, really made San Fran
cisco work. The Gaels jumped
off in front and held the lead
for 16 minutes before San Fran
cisco edged ahead, 19-18. The
Dons stayed in front the rest of
the way, but simply couldn't
shake off the pesky Gaels. Six
10 Bill Russell, the Dons' sop
homore star, sparkled again
with 24 points and 22 rebounds.
SF Heads CBA .
Although the Dons haven't
officially landed a tourney berth
yet, they're leading the Califor
nia Basketball' Association with
a 9-0 record and seem a cinch to
land in the NCAA Tournament.
Wednesday night's most sig
nificant conference game saw
Tulsa ousted from the .Missouri
Valley conference lead by a sur
prise 62-52 loss to defending
champion Oklahoma A&M. The
loss put Tulsa's league record at
5- 2 and moved St. Louis (4-1)
into the top spot, which it de
fends tonight in a game against
Wichita.
By contrast, ; Pennsylvania
took a commanding Ivy League
lead by whipping Brown, 67-61,
while second - place Columbia
was being upset by Princeton,
53-52. Penn now leads with an
8-2 mark, while Columbia ' is

Bigger Game
Ralph "Tiger" Jones Wednesday
night and as a result he was
geared up today for a shot at
bigger game.
Olson, weighing 168 pounds,
the heaviest of his career, neatly
carved Jones into a hulk bleed
ing from the eye, the mouth and
the nose to win a handy 10
round decision.
"He's got as big a heart at
anybody I've ever seen," Olson
said of Jones.
Olson, entering the ring, was
assured of a chance to go for
the bigger game as the sponsor
ing International - Boxing club
scheduled him for an April 13
ace against the former light
heavyweight champion, Joey
Maxim.
Felt Fine
The bout was contingent only
upon Olson defeating Jones, and
he did that handily. Referee
Frank Gilmer and Judge Spike
McAdam gave the champion
every round for a perfect 100
points in his 10-round non-title
engagement, while Judge John
Bray gave him 99 points.
"I felt fine at that weight,"
Olson said, "and that's about
what I'll weigh for Maxim, I
was. strong and never got tired,
and I could punch pretty well.;
"But he fought the kind of
fight I expected. Coming at me
all the time. Just the kind . I
like."
. Both Sid Flaherty, Olson's
manager, and Maxim's handler.
Jack Kearns, predicted the bout
between their brawlers would
draw $200,000 with the Cow Pal
ace scaled to a $15 top. They
also expected television revenue
