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.

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

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

with 11 apiece, and Dave Mow

10.

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. LINE-UPS:
