Committee Discusses Financing Ringleaders in the plan to bring Medford into the Class B Northwest professional baseball league today turned their atten tions toward securing the serv ices of someone to carry out a plan of financing the proposed baseball club. At a committee meeting last night it was decided to seek a partnership agreement among 30 or more individuals who would share in the profits or losses of the operation to not more than 10 per cent each. A pre-season ticket selling campaign geared to raise be tween $30,000 and $40,000 also was discussed as were various plans to remodel the present baseball park at the fairgrounds to make it suitable for profes sional baseball. While' the baseball season is more than four months away, it was pointed out that Medford is rapidly running short of time in making a definte commitment to enter the league and rapid ac tion is necessary if the franchise is to be secured. Several other towns are anxious to take over the vacant league spot if Med ford does not act, it was pointed out. Another meeting will be held tonight to further discuss ob taining a person to direct the fi nancing effort.

WHISKEY. 86.8 PROOF. 65 6RAIN MedfordTribuns IPODM Red Raiders Win, 93-62; Teams. Play Again Today Ashland A battling Southern Oregon college basketball con tingent got its 1955-1956 slate off to a roaring start here last night by whipping Linfield col lege Wildcats 93 to 62 in a free wheeling encounter. Linfield, however, will have a chance to even the score. The two quintets collide again here tonight. The Red Raiders of the Rogue, hard driving on offense and stingy close in on offense, jumped in front in the opening minute of the fracas. They stayed ahead all the way, turn ing back a couple of brief chal lenges. Halftime score was 40 to 28 and the Raiders' widest bulge was 35 points, 90 to 55, in the closing moments of the fray. Offensively the Raiders were led by Bill Hollingsworth with 29 points. And they hit from all angles, getting a good share of the shots, however, from close or mid range by driving in and 'P UO, 68-49 Eugene (U.R) The Colorado Buffaloes, defending Big Seven champs, racked up their second road victory of the season here last night by downing Univer sity of Oregon hoopsters 68-49. The score was tied only once at 4-4 after two minutes of play. Then, despite Oregon's new "mo tion" offense, the Buffs moved out front to stay. By halftime Colorado had piled up a 40-21 lead. Oregon rallied briefly at the start of the second half, closing the gap to 42-28 and 48-35, but shooting-wise Colorado had the Ducks .404 to .250. Max Anderson, Oregon's 6-foot 7-inch center dropped in 13 points, high for the game, but couldn't keep the Ducks within hailing distance. . - Behind Anderson were a bevy of Colorado scorers: Bill Peter son and substitute Bob Helzer with 11 apiece, and Dave Mow bray and George Hannah with 10. Oregon lays off for three days and then travels to Provo, Utah, to meet Brigham Young which beat UCLA last week in a dou bleheader. r.WlwW-fiWr.-.' NEUTRAL SPIRITS. by scrappy tussling under the backboards. BallHawks Defensively, the Raiders were a bunch of ballhawks, with Ted Tenney and Dale Bates the prin cipal demons. They set up a tight zone that harried and broke up the Wildcat offensive inside and forced the visitors to get half their field goals from far out. The Linfield club' got no goals close in during the early stages of the tussle when the SOC quintet was hanging on to cntrol with the aid of a flock of gift shots. Bill Machamer and Don Por ter tied for Linfield's top scor ing honors with 15 tallies each. Machamer was the long range artist while Porter got his field goals with hooks and shots un der the board. Russ Koffar col lected 12 counters for the Wild cats. Fori Southern Oregon Lloyd Hoffine was second high with 14, Guy Munsell fired in 13 and Bates 10. Hoffine dribbled in for the first bucket of the game 40 sec onds after play had started. Ti tus came through with a jumper or a 4 to 0 standing. Macham ber hit a long for 4 to 2 but Hol lingsworth's jumper and two free shots made it 8 to 2. Dick Brown hit from far out for 8 to 4 but the Raiders ran up six free shots and got a tip in by Hollingsworth for 16 to 4. 15-Point Margins Widest spreads of the first half were 21 to 6 with about eight minutes contested in the hassle and 40 to" 25 near the buzzer. The 'Cats, with Koffard, Porter and Machamer scoring, caught, fire in the middle por tion of the half to cut the gap to 23 to 15. But Tenney, Hollings worth and Munsell put in goals to send the score up to 27 to 15. Another Linfield surge saw Koffard get four pints, Porter the same and Machamer two while Munsell fieldered for SOC. That cut the 'Cat deficit to six points, 31 to 25. But that was the nearest the McMinn ville club came to overtaking the Ashlanders. Hollingsworth, Hoffine, Mun sell and Titus goaled and Mun sell put in a gifter for the 40 to 25 situation. Porter's free shot and Ron Van Dolah's bucket brought the score to its halfway 40 to 28. The raiders quickly shot their advantage to 17 points in the opening minutes of the second half at 45 to 28 and the score alternated at 15 and 17 points difference for about four min utes of the period. Then South ern Oregon by spurts began to widen the command. Bates, Hol lingsworth and Hoffine provided the punch as the spurts got underway. Nine minutes into the half the Raiders had a 29 point, 71 to 29, lead and three minutes later" the bulge was 30, at 77 to 47. Southern Oregon poured in 34 field goals and 15 free shots. Linfield shot 20 from the field and 22 from the gift line. Linfield was without the services of its regular 6-foot 4 inch center, Dave Sanford, who stayed home in the role of ex pectant father. His presence would have made it much tougher for Raiders, who were able last night to concentrate much on Porter, 6-5 stellar for ward.
