G o O (85 ilk) ?S0 Conference Holds Jamboree On Friday On KF Pelican Floor Southern Oregon Conference will present its preview of com ing basketball attractions Friday night. (S)Tl& event will be the third annual hoop jamboree of the cir cuit. Scene will be the Klamath union kigh school gymnasium. Participants will be the Big Four of southern Oregon prep ath letics, tl A-l schools, Medford, Grants Pass, Ashland and host Klamath FaliS, Most of the clubs will be mak ing their first public appearance of the season at the jamboree. Klamath stole a bit of a march by demonstrating rules this weejc at a clinic of the Klamath County Basketball Officials as sociation. Each club will play the equiva lent of three quarters of a game, facing each of the other league contingents for one quarter or eight minutes. It fiSds up to IV2 games of basketball for Klam ath Falls fans who turn out to see all clubs cthiQoop perform in the same evening under one roof. Jamboree action will give coaches the first opportunity of the new season to test their pro teges under fire. It will also give the mentors and the players at least a hint of the opposition they'll face when regular con fetnce play begins in January. Because of the early season and because theshort action against any one club Friday, no team will get a full or accurate pic ture, however, of the caliber of rivals. Winning Secondary And, while clubs will be out to do their best, winning won't be the important issue at the jamboree. Coaches plan to give all or most of their players a chance to play and likely will experiment with a number of combinations. Coach Frank Roelandt of Med ford has already said he'll take a squad of 14 players to Klam ath and that he hopes to give every eager some opportunity to play. For a number of play ers on each of the clubs it will be the first taste of varsity com petition, o Medford starters will be se lected from among John Foust, Dick McLaughlin, Bob Tisdel, Lloyd Cearley, Dick Copple, Lar ry Perkins and Mike Stearns. Ashland will put the most ex perienced veterans on the floor, since it has four regulars back. Grants Pass boasts the most let termen with eight and Medford follows with five. Klamath Falls has only two lettermen from last season's squad but will have an advantage in good height to make up for inexperience. Grants Pass has the most 6 footers, however, some 12 boys of that height or better have been engaged in Cavemen drills. Jerry Donovan Appointed General Manager of Seals Columbus Ohio -j- (y.R) Jer ry Donovan, who was the first Pacific Coast league player to hit a home un in vast Seals Sta dium, took over today as presi dent and general manager of his old San Francisco ball club as the Boston Red Sox launch ed a, "new deal" for the city's fans. Donovan was named to the post yesterday by Genera Man ager Joe Cronin of the Red Sox less than 48 hours after the Am erican league- club bought the debt-ridd club in a surprise move at the Minor league meet ing here. Bob Freitas, general manager of the San Jose Red Sox of the California State league, was liamed business manager of the Seals. , San Jose was a Boston team until the end of this season when the Red Sox pulled out and the club was taken over by a local group headed by San Jose pub licist Chuck Mallory. San Francisco Meeting Cronin said a meeting would held in Sam Francisco later where further plans for the club would be worked out. This will include the shifting of, many players in the Boston farm sys tem to the Seals "so that we can build them into a real pennant contender." The status of Damon Miller, president of the defunct Little Corporation which ran the Seals for two seasons, remain ed undecided. Indications were that he might not be retained as Cronin sought to rebuild the club with members of the Red friend 0 of Sox organization. Donovan, an old Cronin's, was executive secre tary of the Pacific Coast league last season while also president of the California league. His appointment to the Seals post meant that the PCL, which is expected to accept Claire Goodwin's resignation as presi dent Dec. 12, also will have to find:a man for the secretary's spot while the state league elects a new prexy. Plqtjed Outfield ...... Donovan, who will be 47 on Dec. 19, is a native San Francis can and got to know Cronin on the town's sandlots. q While Cronin ent on to make a name for fcamself as manager with the Washington Senators and Boston Red Sox, Jerry stayed behind in the Coast league where he was an outfield er from 1928 to the 1938 season. His first six years were with the Seals under Nick Williams. Then he played at Sacramento in 1934 and closed out his career at Oakland in 1938. Donovan alternated between first base and the outfield. He was president of the Far West league from 1948 until 1951 when the loop disbanded. He headed the state league from 1949 through last season. TOO MANY HONKS Indianapolis , (U.R) Bernard Gray is a mild, long-suffering person, but he finally decided enouggs enough.

JACKSON B LOOP CLUBS IN JAMBOREE TONIGHT Jackson County B League bas ketball teams steal the march or1 Class A teams in this section of the state by Seeing their first public action tonight. The six schools of the loop launch their respective slates in their annual jamboree. It will be held at the St. Mary's high fym nasium in Medford. 'Starting time will be 7 p.m. This is the first nifht inter scholastic opposition is, permit ted under Oregon School Activi ties association regulations. Schools taking part tonight are Jacksonville, Prospect, Butte Falls, Talent, Rogue River0and St. Mary's. In total score com petition St.cMary's, Rogue River and Butte Falls will oppose the other three loop members. ' Each team will see only two quarters or a half-game of action. That will mean six quarters or a game and orys-half of basket ball. The action will enable the teams to get a pre-conference look at one another all on the same evening and will give fans an opportunity to get an advance look at the aggregations. Talent, with eight letter-winners on the club, will appear as the champion of the past two seasons and one of the probable strong clubs of the loop again. But the Bulldogs are anticipat ing strong rivalry this year from Rogue River and St. Mary's and look at Butte Falls as a dark horse. Prospect has a combina tion of two lettermen and three iransiers wnicn could prove a strong force. The teams tonight will collide in the following order: Talent against Rogue River, Jackson ville against St. Mary's, Pros pect against Butte Falls, Talent against St. Mary's, Rogue JJiver against Prospect and Butte Falls Handicap 2356 66 O 2411 against Jacksonville. After tonight the clubs swing into pre-conference warm-up games. Actual loop play does not start until January.

William J. Davis, a General -lectric company engineering specialist in the Hanford design section, told a group of 4-H club leaders that known reserves of nuclear fuels are many times the known remaining reserves of oil, gas and coal He said atomic power prob ably would "gradually pick up the burden of supplying your mounting energy needs with at first no decrease in cost. Power costs eventually will decline com pared to other costs, he added. AFL, CIO in Separate Conventions Prior To Organization Merger New York (U.R) The AFL and CIO today opened separate conventions primarily to ratify an agreement that, will merge the two organizations into the largest and most powerful labor group in the nation s history. The merger itself will take place formally next Monday when 1,800 representatives of the two groups meet at the 71st Regimental Armory for the in augural convention of The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Or ganizations. John L. Lewis' independent! .. . n. 1 TIT 1 S-? unnea mine w oncers weunes day night requested the CIO to pay back $1,665,000 in old loans before melting into the giant new organization. In a letter to CIO Secretary Treasurer James B. Carey, UMW Secretary Treasurer John Owens dunned the CIO for repayment so its members can "honor this valid loan before you dissolve your organization." Says UMW Lent Money A spokesman for the UMW said the mine workers lent the money after Lewis had led the then Qpmmittee for Industrial Organization out of the AFL in the mid-1980s But Carey replied directly to Lewis that his union was "in error" in claiming the CIO was in arrears or was being dissolved. Carey also referred to Lewis refusal to bring the mine work ers into the merged labor group. In rejecting . an invitation, Carey said, Lewis had "achieved the momentary ripple of public ity which you sought to relieve the boredom of your isolation from the democratic labor move ment." - Routine Meetings Expected The separate, two-day "tran sition" conventions were expect ed to be routine, with over whelming approval of the mer ger and the new constitution Both AFL President George Meany and CIO Chieftain Walter P. Reuther -and their executive boards approved them earlier this week. A dissenting vote probably will come, from Michael J. Quill, president of the CIO (Transport Workers Union and a militant . foe of merger on the ground that the new AFL-CIO constitution does not offer adequate safe guards against discrimination, raiding and racketeering. However, the executive board of his union, meeting Monday. -was expected to approve TWU entry into the new AFL-CIO. - Lanza Turns Down $20,000 Song Offer Hollywood (U.R) Singer Mario Lanza has turned down a $20,000 offer to sing just, one song at the opening of a swanky new hotel in Miami Beach. Mario's representative ex plained that Lanza can't fly be cause of an ear condition suffer ed during a plane mishap in World War II and taking a train to and from Miami Beach would wipe out the holidays for Lanza's family. ; j :.-jamoVari.
