MAIL TRIBUNE Black Tornado Cagers Prep For Series With Ashland Medford high's Black Tornado returned to the maplecourt yes terday to prep for its Southern Oregon Conference basketball openers after a virtual lay-off since its last pre-league warm up scuffles against a pair of Port land schools last week.

McLaughlin 111 Dick McLaughlin has been having a bout with the flu bug which nipped him during the week's tangles with Franklin and Cleveland and may not be feeling up to par for the first conference games. Dick Copple, who missed the Cleveland mix because of back trouble, is ex pected to be ready for the Griz zlies. Still sidelined is Larry Go ber.

Wednesday, January 4, 1955 Tornado will not work out this week at Hedrick junior high, which will be scene of the Satur day game. Since the junior high court has fan-shaped backboards rather than glass, it is felt that playing conditions don't differ much from the senior high floor. Reason for an abbreviated drill of just shooting, and mov ing about a bit on Saturday was a cold gym, Roelandt explained. He sought to avoid colds that could be possible from working up a sweat and cooling off too quickly. Medford will be up against a veteran club in Ashland. The Grizzlies have four- men back who were regulars last season, Gene Parent, Stuart Baker, Phil Sword and Harry Johnson. 1956 Dodgers Flag Chances Depend on Pitching Staff This is the first of a series of interviews by United Press staffers with the major league managers on their prospects for 1956. - ' By BOB GRIMM Oxford, Ohio (U.R Soft spoken Walt Alston said today the Brooklyn Dodgers have a chance to repeat as world champions if "our young kid pitchers come through and a couple of sore arms mend over the winter." Alston, who led the Dodgers to their first World Series title in 1955, placed the responsibil ity of winning another pennant squarely on the pitching staff. "Pitching will be a big probr lem, because it has to be good," Alston said. "If those kid pitch ers aren't as good as expected, we'll suffer." The Dodger manager, who us ually doesn't say much unless it needs to be said, hoped right handers Billy Loes and Carl Ers kine will be their old selves again as Brooklyn tries to re peat. "Our pitching will depend on how well Loes and Erskine re cover from their sore arms last season. We're hoping a winter's rest will make those fellows in good condition again." Alston thought that potential ly Brooklyn has a good pitching staff, but "the two big 'ifs' will determine if we're going to be all right." Banking on Three Alston said the youngsters he was banking on were Roger Craig, Sandy Koufax and Don Bessent. Bessent and Craig were brought up last season and pro vided the Dodgers with front line pitching when an outbreak of injuries crippled the regulars in mid-year. "But you never know how young kids will go," Alston said dubiously. "We're also going td take an other look at Ken Lehman, who has had a couple good years at Montreal," Alston said. He said Lehman can either go in relief or as a starter and could prove a valuable, member of the staff. "Right now, however," the Brooklyn skipper said, "Clem Labine would be our No. 1 re liever" if the season were' start ing today, but I'd like to have another good man to go with Reichert Quits Cougar Quintet Pullman (U.R) Starting guard Bob Reichert quit the Washington State College bas ketball team yesterday because of what college officials de scribed as "disappointment" over his failure to chalk up high scores on the Cougars' recent road trip. The- 5-foot 9-inch sophomore from Spokane had been rated by Coach Jack Friel as "a good pros pect" and was counted on to fur nish some speed for Friel's fast break offense.

Castellani, Fullmer Mix Cleveland, Ohio (U.R) A contrast in boxing styles fea tures tonight's nationally - tele vised 10-round middleweight fight between "ring cutie" Rocky Castellani of Cleveland and Gene Fullmer, the Mormon mauler from West Jordan, Utah. Castellani, second-ranked con tender behind champion Ray Robinson and deposed King Carl (Bobo Olson, is expected to bi cycle his way through the bat tle, hoping to pile up enough points on in-fighting and box ing finesse. ' Fullmer, on the other hand, has earned the reputation as a to-to-toe socker, and will try to evade "Castellani's clutch tac tics when they pair off. Rocky Inactive For Castellani, the bout is the first after a relatively long pe riod of inactivity. He was one of the final opponents on Rob inson's comeback trail, losing a unanimous 15-round decision. Fullmer, at 24,' is one of the country's rising young 160- pounders.

LININGER & SONS Dave Kaiser Wears Hero Mantle Well By HAL WOOD Los Angeles U.R) Dave Kaiser,1 a professional-appearing young man who was a compara tive nonentity on a star-studdied Michigan . State football team until Monday is wearing the mantle of heroism well. The six - foot, 200 - pounder never had made good on a field goal try in college football be fore he kicked the 41-yarder that was, figuratively speaking, heard 'round the world in the Rose Bowl. Until that time he was just another man on the team a fellow who was a quiet, studi ous appearing fellow who wore glasses when on the street or studying. Suddenly tlirust1 into the spot light, his name on the tongue of millions, he still is a bit bewil dered by it all. "I guess I learned all I know about kicking from Lou (The Toe) Groza," he says. Groza is the field goal kicking special ist for the Cleveland Browns. "He was at spring training when I was at Notre Dame and he taught me how to line up the ball and center the tape be tween the goal posts." At Notre Dame Kaiser was at Notre Dame as a freshman. When Frank Leahy resigned, Dave , transferred to Michigan State and had to sit out one year. , How did he feel as he lined up the kick that would spell victory or a tie for Michigan State? "T thought about the two I had missed earlier in the year and the fact that I hadn't been able to practice on field goals lately due to an injury. "Then, Earl Morrall said to me 'Kick when you're ready Dave,' and I kicked. The first I knew that it was good was when Buck Nystrom jumped on my back." Coach Duffy Daugherty, while giving a lot of credit to his fine backs and to the great line and then to Kaiser, had to put in a special word for Nystrom. "I wouldn't trade Nystrom for any guard in the country," said Daugherty. "He was positively a rock in this game." It was revealed that Morrall decided to use Kaiser for the field goal attempt instead of Gerry Planutis, who had missed two easier chances . earlier in the game. "I felt that Gerry wasn't get ting his foot into the ball good," said Morrall, "so I decided to try Dave." And that's how heroes are born!

C. . (U.R) Police studied today the report from a warehouse firm of thefts of gasoline from its trucks. The company complained the steal ing has been going on for 10 or 12 years and lately . has been "getting worse.". Is That So? Our folklore is richly flavor ed with more than a mere sprinkling of myths concerning our animal life. To dispel some of it, here's -another helping of Facts vs. Myths. Myth: Toads possess the abil ity to remain imprisoned under ground, sealed in rocks or in the cleft of a growing tree for years on end. Fact: To be sure, almost every year there are stories of toads being blasted out of . rock dur ing excavation operations or be ing dug up from . great depths beneath hard-packed clay, or being released from within some building's cornerstone. Some versions say it is a horned toad (which is not a toad but lizard), but the details are the same. Fact is, no toad could exist for several years in a sealed-in 1-4-56 condition. However, there is a toad, the spadefoot, which spends a good share of its adult life underground.' They burrow under the soil when it is, soft and wet. Sometimes these are uncovered under hard - packed soil. But the soil had become wet again -they would have emerged under their own power and it would have happened the following rainy period. In unusually dry years, it is conceivable that a toad might possibly skip a year and not emerge the next rainy period but many would not survive the second year. ,. Myth: It is dangerous to eat acid foods with milk the acids make the milk curdle, like strawberries and cream. Fact: The milk will curdle, re gardless if fruit acids .don't do it, the stomach acids will. .If you can eat' two foods separate ly, you can eat them in combi nation. Myth: No doubt you have heard of the man who was out hunting game and was bitten through the boot by a large rat tlesnake. Despite treatment, the man died. Then years later, his son put the same boots on and died mysteriously with the symptoms of snake-bite. Occa sionally, the story is embel lished with a third generation the grandson finds the boots, wears them, and dies too from some strange malady which has all the symptoms of snakebite. The examination of the boots finally revealed that the fang of a rattlesnake was embedded in the leather in such a way that the wearer would be pricked by the point of the fang. Fact: The story, although it has been retold from coast to coast with variations in details and number of generations killed, is pure fantasy. The amount of venom that would remain in such a fang is too small to produce fatal re sults. Moreover, venom dries very quickly outside the venom glands and soon loses its poten cy when exposed to air. Myth: An hour of sleep be fore midnight is more beneficial. Southern Methodist, Rice Head Tonight's Cage Fare By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer Southern Methodist and Rice, the teams rated most likely to give the Southwest conference long-sought national leadership in college basketball, clash in a red-hot return match at Dallas tonight that could send the win ner high up in the national ra tings. The two Texas powers met last Friday night in the final round of the conference's post season tourney at Houston, and SMU came off with a thrilling 76-73 triumph in overtime. As a result, the Mustangs are ranke Z No. 10 in the nation with a 10-2 record this week and Rice is close behind at No. 13 with a 10-1 mark. Another tourney final round replay is on tap tonight at Tulsa, where the All-College tourna ment finalists Tulsa and Ok lahoma City meet again. Tulsa leaped to national prominence last .Thursday, beating Okla homa City, 65-58, as 5-10 Junior Born scored 32 points and now owns the No. 17 national rating. PARSONS choice USED CARS STOP!

Fact: Certainly the value of sleep may be enhanced by reg ularity of habit and quiet, but it bears no relation whatever to the clock. However, I seem to wake more refreshed from sleep in a darkened room. - Myth: A- .person who hears poorly is deaf as an adder. Fact: A great deal of contro versy has been waged on the hearing ability of snakes, weth er adders or any other kind. Fact is, all snakes lack a mid dle ear and they have no ear drum. Despite .widespread pop ular beliefs, snakes cannot hear airborne sounds. That goes too for Indian pythons. However, they are sensitive to vibrations in the ground on which they are resting. .
