MEDFORDITRIBUNE sipcram: Prestige off Tornado At Stake at Klamath Pressure is off but the desire to win will still provide incer tive, between two longtime rivals tonight and Saturday when the Medford high Black Tornado, already wearing the Southern Oregon Conference basketball diadem, encounters the Klamath union high Peli cans in an anti-climax league wind-up basketball series at Klamath Falls. Winning won't be all-important this week end for the Tor .nado. But the No. 1 rated prep contingent in Oregon isn't ex pected to letdown, because its prestige could suffer. With no official title at stake, aim of the Medfordites will be just to play good hard basketball the best they know how. That's the re port from a team source. Other than its prestige, the Black Tornado has a long un beaten streak to protect and a chance to complete its confer ence season without a loss. And the impressive record and high ranking of Medford in the press polls gives Klamath something to work for. The Pels would like nothing better than to end the Medford triumph string 4at 18 straight and join the Eugene Axemen as only conquerors of Medford. In the previous series between the two clubs Medford won 64 to 51 the first night and 70 to 43 seconds. The first tussle was the toughest for the Tornado up to that time in the conference. And history could repeat. Toned Down Tornado In the first fray in January Klamath fought Medford on even terms under the back boards, succeeded in toning down its fast break and occa sionally wrecking its more de liberate attack. In the second mix, the Pels, who more than match the Tornado in overall altitude, stayed with Medford in a spirited first half. However, Medford's finer Bowling EVERGREEN LEAGUE Evergreen Bowling League rolled right along this week with Pierce Freightlines still in first place, but being pressed by a hard-driving squad of Barbers and by Swift Co. No tenia dares relax, or may find itself out of the race. Pierce took the high scoring Bel Air Chevs, who could not get to rolling this week, after rolling nearly 2600 last week. Swede Larson was top man for Pierce with 532. Swift kept pace with a 4-0 series over the Big Y Super Market, when the Ray Speer of the Big Y could not get a strike for his poorest evening in months. Fritz Kunz of Swift was high with a 514. Medford Barbers fell a bit by a split with Sherwin-Williams Painters, but the Frank Kirk held his average and better with a 561 series. Tru-Mix and City Hall split, with handicap playing a large part. Final series was won 3-1 by Jorgensen's dairy over First National bank. The Bankers got only three men to roll and lost on handicap. Hal Ellis had a 521 for Dairy. His- missed a 200 game by one pin. Standings: Pie-ce Freightlines Swiit and Co .

Klamath, like many Medford foes, lacked stay ing power and the ability to surge in the clutch. Those attri butes have been important in Medford successes this season.

Latest reports from Klamath is that Coach Don Peterson will open with Guy Munsell, Larry - Yarnell, Dave D'Olivo, Jack Sunitsch and Danny Lowe. Junior varsity teams will play prelims both nights.

For the first time in nearly three and cne-half years, string bean Saddler of New York will be risking his crown after par ing down to the 126-pound limit. No other champion in the 66 year history of the feather divi sion ever kept his title in the mothballs so long. No other champion in any division ever boasted as high a knockout average for more than 100 fights as Saddler's .641, re sulting from 98 kayoes in 153 bouts. And no other challenger in any division ever was charged with as many defeats as the 47 in 108 bouts for Davis of Hart ford, Conn. There was widely shared sus picion that skinny Saddler : may be as weak as a starved cat be cause of weight-making tortures, not endured since his last de dense against Willie Pep, Sept. 6, 1951. Davis has won solid support by six straight victories in 1954, the first unbeaten year of his career. In Red Top's last fight on Nov. 26, he became chal lenger by winning a lopsided 12 round decision over Percy Bas sett of Philadelphia. High School Scores THURSDAY GAME District 11A Tourney Mt.
