Games that count toward titu lar trophies are scheduled in three circuits of the area on Fri day and Saturday. Circuits are the Southern Oregon Conference of A-l schools, the Rogue League of A-2 rivals and the Jackson County B League. Medford is defending champ in the SOC, Crater in the Rogue and Talent in the B loop. Klam ath Falls with a big advantage in height goes into the A-l race as favorite but Medford figures as a strong contender and both Grants Pass and Ashland have indicated that they can't be counted out. Phoenix with a veteran club looms as team tobeat in the A-2 circuit. The Rogue race depends much on how well inexperienced teams of Crater, Eagle Point and Illinois Valley come along. St. Mary's and Rogue River appear again as the strongest contend ers to dethrone Talent but Pros pect seems much tougher than last year and could make a good bid. FOUR WINNERS Coral Gables, Fla.
