TORNADO EYES TITLE CLINCHING CHANCE
IfJ GRIZZLY TANGLES TONIGHT, SATURDAY
The Medford high school bas
ketball contingent, with one re
serve still on the sick list and a
regular- yet weak from a ' bout
with flu, viewed . its crown
cinching opportunities today, and
wondered what kind of a recep
tion sly ' Al Simpson, coach of
the rival Ashland Grizzlies, has
in store for them.' " -
;. 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. Its Ash
land's turn to try to. upset the
unanimously No. 1-rated prep
team in the. state." ;

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. '
Wilt Chamberlain
Rolls Up Ninety
Philadelphia-J(U.R) Wilt (The
Stilt) Chamberlain,; 7-foot Over-
brook high school center, who is
being sought by numerous col
legest, set a Pennsylvania scho
lastic scoring record Thursday
night when he scored 90 points
to . pace his school to a 123-21
victory over Roxborough. Cham
berlain sank 36 field goals and
hit for 18 free throws.
Patty Berg Paces Pack
In Serbing Links Meet
Miami Beach, Fla. (U.PJ
Red-haired Patty Berg was using
a ''show 'em no mercy" policy
today as she led a star-studded
field into the second round of
the $5,000 Serbing Women's
Open Golf Tournament, i -. :
Miss Berg seized a one-stroke
lead by shooting a - one-underpay
73 in Thursday's, opening
round. : . " '
But three golfers were press
ing her for the lead today,-each
shooting a par 74 in the first
round. They were Open cham
pion Louise Suggs of Cincin
nati, Ohio, Faye Crocker of
Montevideo, Uruguay, and Mary
Lena Faulk of Thomasville, Ga.
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. Portland State will have
four more games to go, meeting
Eastern Oregon Tech and each
twice. -'
Should Portland take both
frays, it . will cinch the toga. A

Romps With 44
,' By United Press
Is Darrell '. Floyd, Furman'6
"new Frank Selvy," ; an . even
greater scorer than Fabulous
Frank himself ?
" That ' was a question Dixie
basketball fans could well pon
der; today in the wake of Floyd's
latest exploit, a 44-point spree
Thursday nig jit to lead Furman
in a typical 125-76 romp over
Davidson and to push his nation
leading" scoring average - up -"to
35.9 points per game.
Crown Seems Certain
Jj It ' how seems "virtually - cer
tain that Floyd, 22-year-old dark
haired forward from. ' Thomas
ville, N. C, will finish his junior
season, as Selvy did, as the na
tional scoring champion -and
with -an average t far exceeding
Selvey's' 29.5 junior year aver
age. His 44 points last night gave
him 754 for the season, exceed
ing Selvy's junior total of 738.
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.
Experts emphasize UCLA has
the disadvantage of playing
away from its home .court while
Stanford' is down at Southern
California.. ... . v

PSC Solid
The Portlanders are a solid
club with a strong bench. Coach
Alex Petersen of the Ashland
quint said that his charges real
ize this and that he thinks they'll
be ; ready. 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. Lloyd
Hoffine and Tiger Bob Smith
are the likely SOC forwards
with Hal Titus probably at cen
ter.; ; :';''". ;';

Washmgtonians
Unbeaten in Loop

had assured itself of the city
grade school league varsity bas
ketball championship, wound up
loop play unbeaten last night,
shaking off the challenge of de
termined Roosevelt 22 to 14.
In the other wind-up mix Jack
son licked Lincoln 34 to 19.
Roosevelt gave the champs a
real struggle and was on top 10
to 8 at halftime. Score with just
a couple of minutes left to play
was 14-all.
Washington was unblemished
in six games. Roosevelt and
Jackson tied for second with
three wins and the same num
ber of losses. Lincoln could get
into the win side of the loop
ledger.

Tenley Albright
Skate Title
Recaptured
By Tenley
Vienna, Austria U.R) Re
gaining the world's figure skat
ing championship in spectacular
style meant "a lot more" to love
ly Tenley Albright than the
thrill of winning It the first
time.
"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.
"It's torture, the short wave broed-
casts! They say with ell our five year
plans, we'll never match the secret
taste of OLD Mr. BOSTON .VODKA."
