" - ;. Medford's Black Tornado tra- . Vels to 'Ashland- tonight for - a Southern Oregon conference battle. 'The -quints skirmish in Medford on Saturday night Grants Pass, in the meantime, will be host both evenings to Klamath 'Falls. - ' ...... A- pair, of, triumphs by ; the Tornado over the Grizzlies will clineh the championship for the yet-to-be-whipped in-the-conf er- ence Medfordites.- Victories by both Medford and Grants Pass tonight will also give the title honors to the Black Tornado. Foust Out . Tornado Meritor Frank Roe' landt said this morning that Frank Rector, regular guard, re turned to the squad yesterday after an attack by the flu bug. Johnny Foust, first line reserve, was still laid up by a sore throat this mornng and was considered sidelined for both games of the week end series..' ' Hoelandt reported that Rec Jor, still a bit weak, only "shot around" at last night s worKout. He's scheduled to start this eve ping in test of his strength. Either Ed McCullough or Lloyd Pearley could get the call at the guard post if the regular tires. Other . probable ", starters for Medford are the usuals, Larry Popple, Bud Kastner, Jerry Kalapus and Glenn Peterson. . t The big question today was Whether the Grizzlies will , run, Jvill play an "ordinary" slow down style or will come up with k "freeze" as chilly , as was this morning's air. Ashland tried the fxtreme in ball control in its second game against Klamath Falls last week end and then lost by a substantial margin. Tornado, Pels Favored " Grizzlies for the opening line up will be chosen from, among Phil . Sword, Doyce Lemley, Gene Parent, Stuart Baker, Jer ry Mickle' and Harry Johnson. . Standings in the conference finds the second place. Klamath Pelicans three whole games be hind Medford. Both the No. 1 and No. 2 crews are-favored to night but even if bo.th win, the Pels couldn't catch : Medford next week end in the final two frays of the circuit.! If Medford wins and Klamath loses' tonight, the Tornado would have a four game lead oyer-the-Pels with only three games left to play. Grants Pass and Ashland have no more title hopes but are am bitious to play spoilers.

Raiders, Vikings Contend In Crucial OCC Encounters Knickerbockers Nab 6th Straight By UNITED PRESS . , The New York Knickerbock ers, who couldn't do anything right . during the early part of the. current National Basketball Association . season, suddenly can't do anything wrong. ' The streaking New. .Yorkers rang up their sixth straight - vic tory, 93-86, over the Fort Wayne Pistons, Thursday night "before a partisan house in Miami Beach, Fla. What's more, it was their sixth . straight over the Pistons, who lead the Western Division in the NBA. ' The Philadelphia. Warriors, who own a winning streak of four over Rochester nipped the Royals, 78-73, in the New Haven Arena, while the Eastern' Division-leading Syracuse -Nationals romped - to their fifth straight success, 107-9 J-over -the Boston Celtics.

Ashland Southern Oregon college hasn't lost an Oregon Collegiate Conference basket ball contest .on its . home floor this season and the Red Raid ers will be out to keep that rec ord intact in a crucial series with league leading Portland State college. SOC hosts the Vikings of PSC tonight and Saturday night. .... Victory is in the "must" cat egory for the Raiders -if', they want the OCC championship. With a standing of 9 wins and 4 setbacks in the circuit, they are in second place, lVfc games behind the Vikes who stand at 9 and 1. Southern Oregon has only one fray, with Oregon Tech, in the loop after this week end.

And his. total of 1,148 points for two-seasons is within hailing distance of Selvy's mark of 1,329 for his first -two seasons... Stanford Roots For California San Francisco (U.R) Basket ball like politics makes strange bedfellows tonight when Stanford's Indians whoop it up for arch-rival California to beat UCLA and thus keep the Tribe alive in - the Southern Division race of the Pacific Coast Con ference. The Bruins surged to a two game lead over Stanford last week by pasting Howie Dall mar's - quintet twice. And the clock is running out with only two more games of divisional play on tap after tonight and Saturday.

Size and speed and good balance are boasted by the Vikings. -Bales Recovers SOC hopes that the pattern experienced with . Eastern Ore gon college holds true against Portland State. The raiders lost to the Mounties at LaGrande then beat them here. Against the. Vikes at Portland they did comparably better than against EOC in the eastern town. Dale Bates of the Raiders re portedly has recovered from an ankle sprain suffered- just be fore the last PSC series. He's scheduled to start at a guard along with Keith Johnson.

"Losing something makes you appreciate it more," explained the 1 9 - year - old honey - haired star from Newton, Mass., in the wake of her emphatic triumph over 13 rivals in the women's competition that concluded on Thursday night. Pretty Tenley, then 17, be came the first American to win the women's crown in 1953, but she lost it last year : when, though far ahead in the point score, she took an unlucky tumble. . Her recapture of the title gave the United States a sweep of the two important titles at stake since - Hayes Alan Jenkins of Colorado Springs, Colo., . had previously retained the men's championship. But hopes for further Ameri can triumphs are dim since the three U.S. teams entered in the dancing pairs event, which con- eludes tonight, stand only fourth, fifth, and sixth at the halfway mark.
