Black Tornado Plays Grizzlies
In League Opener Friday Night
If the Ashland high Grizzlies
can get rolling and move in
stride with their seeming poten
tial, they could cause a consid
erable stir in the Southern Ore
gon Conference basketball cam
paign this year.
That "if" appears to be the
basis of hope for the Grizzlies
this week as they prepare for
their conference opener series
with Medford's defending chanv
pion Black Tornado.
Ashland will be host to Med
foftl on Friday and on Saturday
night the clubs move to Hed
rick junior high court in Med-
ford. The other two members
of the loon also eo at it this week
with Klamath Falls playing both
nights at Grants Pass.
' At Ashland Coach Al Simpson
has pointed out that his club is
currently in a slump and that he
is trying in drills to snap the
Grizzlies out of it. And he has
stated that, once the Ashlanders
rouse out of their sag and get
going; they "may do some good."
In particular drills for the Tor
nado series, defense has received
considerable attention.
Grizzly potential stems from
a nucleus of veterans. There are
four regulars back from last
year. Simpson likely will have
all four in the line-up at starting
time. They are Stuart Baker,
Gene Parent, Phil Sword and
Harry Johnson. Fifth man of the
quint may be Lance Locke.
Simpson will have Dave Woods
and Mark Fitch ready as replace
ments and another reserve is
Jack Tobiasson, fine ' sophomore
prospect.
Baker and Tobiasson are the
tallest of the Grizzlies at 6-2
and Parent is 6-1.
The Medford squad continued
tuning for Ashland with its hard
est work of the week last night.
Tornado players went through
a game and a quarter of good
hard scrimmage plus their half
court work. And. Coach Frank
Koelandt commented that the
Tornado crewmen looked "not
bad at all."
The mentor indicated that
Dick Copple is okeh after having
missed the Cleveland game last
week because of a lame back.

11,896,098 Fish
Liberated During
1956 in Oregon
Portland During the month
of November, a total of 225,819
trout and salmon were released
from the Oregon Game Commis
sion hatcheries raising the year
ly total to 11,896,098 fish re
leased during 1955 according to
Eeino Koaki, chief of fish lib
erations, Oregon Game Commis
sion. Although approximately 50,
000 more salmon and steelhead
were on the release schedule for
December, adverse water condi
tions delayed plantings, and the
fish are being held for later
plantings.
Catchabla Size
Tabulations show that 2,945,
197 fish were of catchable size
when released six inches or over
in length. Of this number, 2,
181,845 were rainbow trout,
284,317 steelhead trout, 136.914
cutthroat trout, 78,534 eastern
brook trout, and 24,198. lake
trout. The remaining 239,389
yearling releases were chinook
and silver salmon. The great ma-

throughout the state.
All remaining fish were class
ed cas fry or fingerlings with
the vast majority being released
in the lakes, reservoirs, and oth
er impoundments of the state.
Total weight of all fish released
.was 585,637 pounds.
Steelhead Punch
Cards Expired
Portland The Oregon Game
Commission reminds all anglers
that salmon-steelhead punch
cards expired on December 31,
1955.
All of the license agencies
throughout the state are pre
pared to receive the old cards
and issue new ones which will
remain valid during the 1956
calendar year.
Anglers " possessing punch
cards that expire at the end of
December are required by law
to return them to the game com
mission not later than February
15, 1956. To facilitate the re
turn, collection boxes have been
placed in all license agencies.
A successful salmon and steel
head management program can
only be realized through the co
operation of the anglers who har
vest the fish, game men said.
Without a knowledge of the
catch, not only on a state-wide
basis, but more important, by the
major stream, the results of
stream clearance, screening,
planting, and regulations can
never be properly assessed, they
added.

B League Opens on Friday;
St. Mary's, Prospect Vie
St. Mary's high's Crusaders
have been striving to make up
for a week's lay-off as they
prime for their Jackson County
B League basketball opener
Friday night at Prospect.
The Crusaders, one of the top
contenders for loop laurels this
season, laid off after their De
cember 27 fracas at Phoenix and
did not resume drills until Tues
day when they returned to
school following the holidays.
In an effort to get the club!
in top tune and further shake
out the holiday kinks, Coach
Millard Webb conducted two
varsity workouts yesterday, call
ing 10 players back last night
for a short evening drill. And
for their week of inactivity
Webb reported that the St.
Mary's gang was ' "not looking
too bad."
While the Medford parochial
team is at Prospect, Butte Falls
will play at Talent and Jackson
ville will go to Rogue River fpr
other first night games of the
1956 county B chase. The Tal-ent-Butte
Falls tangle was listed
for the Logger court in a printed
schedule but the' correction,
with Talent as home club, was
reported this morning.
Merry Chase "
St. Mary's, Talent and Rogue
Rier are expected to battle it
out this season in what could
prove a merry chase. But Pros
pect is expected to be more of
a contender than -it has been
for a number bf years.
In pre-league play St. Mary's
won easily over Eagle Point,
thumped Illinois Valley and
Jacksonville soundly twice,
trimmed Mt. Shasta and lost by
a considerable margin to Phoe
nix. Talent dropped a close de
cision to Phoenix, took one of
two " games with Eagle Point,
nicked Mt. Shasta and thumped
Chiloquin.
Rogue River has split with
Eagle Point and beat Illinois
Valley twice by closer scores
than did St. Mary's. The Chiefs
suffered a one-sided loss to
Phoenix.
Butte Falls has trimmed Jack
sonville handily but has suffer
ed two defeats at the hands of
Prospect. The Prospect five has
clubbed Jacksonville and lost to
Chiloquin. In addition to its non
loop skirmishes with county B
clubs, Jacksonville has lost a
pair to Eagle. Point."

Eyes Heavy Title
New. York U.R) Remark
able Floyd Patterson of Brook
lyn will try to become the young
est heavyweight champion in
ring history this year instead of
waiting until 1957 as previously
planned.
Just 21, the sleepy-eyed but
chain-lightin challenger said to
day he would be ready to launch
his title drive next month in a
bout with big Bob Baker of
Pittsburgh date and site to be
announced later.
"I want to fight Rocky Mar
ciano for the title in June or
September," said the young Ne
gro who was Olympic middle
weight champion in 1952 and
who has won 27 of his 28 pro
fessional bouts 19 by knock
outs. "I believe I can beat him
I because of my speed and punch."
Thursday, January 3, 1958
the usual six, Copple, McLaugh
lin, John Foust, Neil Plumley,
Lloyd Cearley and Bob Tisdel.
Plumley's listed 6-4 height gives
the Tornado a slight edge in al
titude over the Grizzlies.
Jayvee games are set for both
days at 6:45 p.m. -with varsity
scuffles at 8:15 p.m.
- mTrs
may start the usual five of Ger
ald Darland, John Walsh, Tony
Miksche, Dick Paup and Laval
Meunier,- but he has mentioned
that Jim Darland and Ron Pruitt
have been looking "mighty
good" in practices. Coach Wes
Stauffer may call on Lyle
Pope, Jim Daniels and Don Van
nice for Prospect and chose his
guards from among Darwin
Bean, Jim Davidson, David
Gardener and Leo Daniels.
Lack of height may hurt
Prospect this season but only
in the Chiloquin game has the
factor been particularly damag
ing. Team shooting has been
good for the Cougars but ball
handling has not been what it
should be, Stauffer indicated.
Talent is expected to be
strengthened with Jack, Barrett
and Eldon McGarity back after
being out of action during the
holidays. ' '

Home Court
Should Help
In PCC Race
Eugene. (U.R) Coach Bill
Borcher of the University of
Oregon basketball team predict
ed today that the home - court
advantage would play a major
role in the forthcoming Pacific
Coast conference basketball sea
son. 1
He cited figures which showed
that so far this season PCC
teams have won 24 and lost 10
games played on their home
courts. In games on the oppon
ent's home court the same teams
have won only three and lost 25.
On neutral courts, which in
clude pre-season tournament
games. PCC teams have won
10 out of 17 contests.
"It's hard to pin down the
cause of the problem," Borcher
said. "But it probably can be
charged off to psychological rea
sons and unfamiliarity with the
courts during the non-conference
road games.
California is the only team
to have a perfect record to date
on the road among conference
teams, winning from Arizona
and Arizona State in its only
road games. UCLA is the only
other road winner, taking a de
cision from St. Johns of Brook
lyn. These figures do not include
tourney games against opponents
on neutral courts.
410 Skeet
iff Sunday
The 410 guage skeet shooting
tourney, postponed at an earlier
date, will be held Sunday at
Medford Gun club.
A trophy will be at stake in
the 50-bird event. In addition a
50-bird all-bore skeet event with
added handicap for a merchan
dise prize will be conducted.
Shooting will begin at 10 a.m.
Members will vie on Sunday,
January 15, in the annual Red
Blue team trapshoot. Annual
meeting and dinner of the club
will be on Wednesday night,
January 18.
Ed Pease was top shooter in
last Sunday's practice with .; 21
out of 25 in 410-gauge skeet and
48 out of 50 in 16-yard bird bust
ing. Paul Culbertson also broke
48 at 16-yards and George Jant
zer cracked 46.
Bragan Not Crying; Hopes
To Put Zing in Pittsburgh
(This is the second of a series
of interviews by- United Press
staffers with the major league
managers on their . prospects
for 1956.)
By ED FITE
Fort Worth, Tex. (U.R)
There's a lot that's plaguin' Bob
by Bragan these days but you'd
never know it to talk to the ef
fervescent freshman manager of
those ' perennial last place Pi
rates. Anyone who inherits the job of
running the Pirates is more to be
pitied than censured, no matter
what happens, but Bragan
doesn't want anybody feeling
sorry for him.
He has plans about how to ge
Pittsburgh out of the doldrums
next season.
"Mostly they involve general
things," Bragan said. "Right
now I don't want to talk too
much about specific players and
specific positions because I don't
know too much about what eve
rybody can do. But I don't see
anything to cry about.
"For one thing we should have
one of the better pitching staffs
in tiie league. I think a lot . of
clubs would be glad - to swap
pitching staffs with us. The Pi
rates had some good kids last
year and of course Bob. Friend
led the league in 'earned runs
with 2.84 and his .14-9 record on
a last place club wasn't to be
sneezed at either."
Bragan also is high on George
Munger, the .red-haired ex-Red-bird,
who picked up a knuckler
while pitching in the. Pacific
Coast League and became a con
sistent winner.
Big Offer
"He's a lot better pitcher than
he was when he was with St.
Louis," said Bragan. "The Pi
rates turned down a lot of money
for him recently." I .
Among the general improve
ments Bragan hopes to make is
to get some zing into the Buccos
on the basepaths.
"Last year the entire club
stole only 17 bases," he said. "A
team ought to do better than that
even if it is the fat men at the
Sunday school picnic."

Rice 87-65;
Tulsa Beaten
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
Re-runs of two of the biggest
holiday basketball tournaments
boomed the national title hopes
of successful Southern Methodist
today, but left Tulsa wishing the
clock could be turned back.
SMU nipped Rice, 76-73, in
overtime last Friday in the final
round of the Southwest confer
ence preseason tourney at Hou
ston, and Wednesday night the
Mustangs emphasized their su
periority by drubbing Rice, 87
65 in a, regular-season game at
Dallas.
Tables Turned
Tulsa aowned Oklahoma City,
65-58, last Thursday in the fi
nals of the All-College tourney
at Oklahoma City, but Okla
homa City turned the tables on
Wednesday night, 58-50, on Tul
sa's own court.
The last big holiday tourna
ment got underway at Mobile,
Ala., with Memphis State and
Spring Hill . qualifying for to
night's final round in mild sur
prises. Memphis State upended
Miami, Fla., 79-71, and Spring
Hill upset Clemson, 102-91.
Utah, and Holy Cross, rated
No. 8. and 9 nationally, were
among Wednesday night's most
impressive winners. The Utes
broke loose late to down Mon
tana, 71-56, and Holy Cross eas
ily turned back Connecticut,
85-68.
Bragan also wants his players
to be on their own,' particularly
his catchers, in making strategy
decisions.
"A ball player should have
some initiative to make plays,
especially when he thinks they
may cut down a rally," said
bustling Bobby. "He shouldn't
depend on the manager to do all
the thinking.
Bragan also wants to keep as
many of his players in action as
possible. That means there won't
be any. rookies sitting idly on
the bench day after day. If they
can't make it in Pittsburgh
they'll be farmed out where they
can play.
"You've seen too many players
hurt mentally and in their ad
vancement by sitting around on
a major league bench without
playing," he said. Any kid
craves action and needs it."
You don't exactly catch Bra
gan braggin' about his young
talent but he thinks that there is
plenty around that other clubs
could use and he's like to stir up
a trade or two.
"We've . got such pitchers as
Bob Friend, Vernon Law, and
Ronnie Kline, infielders Dale
Long and Gene Freese and out
fielder Frank Thomas who could
be standouts with almost any
team," he said. "We're willing
to trade, too. But the trouble is
that even though every other
National League club expresses
interest in these fellows, all they
want to let go in return is a
bunch of hand-me-downs."
That doesn't exactly make
Bragan peeved. In fact he's get
ting so fond of his youngsters,
he may want to keep them.
And he 11 bet you that the
kids will get the Pirates out of
last place, too.

G. Fullmer
Victor Over 5
Castellan!
Cleveland, Ohio (U.R) The
one judge who voted against him
may cost young Gene Fullmer of
West Jordan, Utah, a chance for
a re-match with Eduardo Lausse
of Argentina.
While Fullmer seemed to b
breezing to a bruising 10-round
victory weanesaay night over
Rocky Castellani, Judge Charlie
Bill saw the fight as a Castellani
victory. His score, 95-92, was at
odds with those of the other
judge and the referee, both 'of
whom had Fullmer on top by a
comfortable margin. The United
Press, too, saw the Mormon on
top by a 98-91 spread.
The winner of the bout was
supposed to get a shot at Lausse,
the crowd-pleasing Argentine
slugger who goes after his 33rd
straight victory Friday, night.
Because Fullmer gained only a
split verdict, and because he
brought out "the tiger" in Cas
tellani in a rousing finish to
please the sparse home town
gathering of 1,487, a re-match
between those same two seemed
more probable. .
Fullmer, a wildcat who threw
punches from everywhere, was
at his best when he worked on
Castellani's stomach. The Cleve-'
lander tried his usual style of
grabbing for his opponent, but
soon changed the tactic when
Fullmer sailed in with the left,
then followed with rights over
the back.
