Ailments Plague Medford Squad
For Hoop Tussles With Ashland
A better record against strong
er competition in pre-conference
scuffles rates Medford high's
Black Tornado the favorite in its
Southern Oregon Conference
basketball starter series against
the Ashland Grizzlies but Tor
nado ailments could easily be
a leveling factor.
Medford and Ashland hoop
men begin 1956 league play at
Ashland this evening. They com
plete their week end series at
Hedrick junior high gymnasium
in Medford Saturday night.
The Black Tornado goes into
conference play with a record
of five victories and two defeats
in tune-up engagements. Ash
land has won three and lost the
same in its warmer-uppers.
In the Medford victory column
are decisions over North Bend,
Marshfield, Roseburg and
Franklin high of Portland. The
locals split with Eugene and
dropped a verdict to Cleveland
of Portland. Ashland recorded
preleague wins over Fortuna,
Calif., an Talent, divided with
0 Bend and lost to Phoenix and
Cottage Grove.
Copple Pulli Muscle
At last ' report the Ashland
squad was intact for the week
end engagements. Not so with
Medford. Dick Copple has a
pulled back muscle, Dick Mc
Laughlin and Larry Slessler are
weakened by attacks of flu and
Larry Gober is laid up with an
ankle sprain. Copple and Mc
Laughlin have been regular
starters for the Tornado this
season.
It had been announced Wed
nesday night that Copple, who
missed the Cleveland fray,
would be okeh for action against
the Grizzlies. Although he pull
0 ed another muscle that after
noon, the ailment was not
thought serious. But the for
ward finissed yesterday's work
out and it was not known last
night just what Copples status I
would be for the Ashland
tangles.
Slessler was on hand for drill
last night but not feeling too
well. McLaughlin was feeling
better after an earlier siege with
the bug.
If all hands are available
Coach Frank Roelandt - will as
usual choose his starters from
among Copple, McLaughlin,
Johnny Foust, Neil Plumley,
Lloyd Cearley and Bob Tisdel.

QUICK and EASYl
By JACK CUDDY
New York U.R) Big-time
boxing was virtually dead in
New York state today, and the
great question was, "where can
the ghost be shifted?"
The N. Y. sport was finished
for an indefinite period Thurs
day night effective Jan. 15 when
the Boxing Guild of New York
voted formal defiance of the
N.Y. State Athletic commission's
ban against the guild.
Under the commission's ban,
no fight manager can be active
in the state and retain member
ship in the guild. But the mem
bers voted unanimously to re
main in the Guild even though
it meant shifting their fighters
to other states.
But the proposed shift to other
areas ran into a 'snag Thursday
night in the person of Gov. Theo
dore McKeldin of Maryland, and
the possibility loomed that other
governors might follow McKei
din's lead.
, He questioned the advisability
of welcoming to Maryland fights
that were banned in N. Y. state.
He raised the question after
Chairman Julius Helfand of the
New York commission had blast
ed the Maryland commission for
permitting promoter Tex Sulli
van to arrange to move his Mon
day night TV fights from St.
Nicholas arena, N. Y., to the
Baltimore coliseum, starting Jan.
23 or possibly Jan. 16.
Meanwhile, Madison Square
Garden' Promoter. Jim Norris of
the International Boxing club
was expected to' announce plans
before nightfall for moving his
Friday night TV-radio fights
from New York, state to other
states. He flew in from Miami
Thursday night.'
Charley Johnston, president of
the International guild and man
ager of Champions Sandy Sad
dler and Archie Moore and mid
dleweight contender Eduardo
Lausse attended Thursday
night's N. Y. chapter meeting.
After the unanimous vote of
66 members was announced, he
declared, "We wanted our box
ers to fight in N. Y. state. But
we couldn't do anything with
Seattle Turns Tables
On Gonzaga Hoopsters
Spokane (U.R) A fired up
Seattle University basketball
team turned the tables last night
and led all the way to defeat
Gonzaga 89-72 in a non-conference
tilt here.
Wednesday night, Gonzaga
had upset the favored Chieftains
78-63.
Guard Cal Bauer led the at
tack with 22 points followed by
teammates Dick Stricklin with
19 and Bob Sanford with 18.
Helfand. We asked him three
times to sit down and talk over
the situation with us, but he
said no."
Johnston stressed that the 16
other chapters of the Interna
tional guild in other areas are
"unanimously supporting the
New York vote."
Ducks, Geese
Inventoried
Portland Annual winter in
ventory of migratory ducks and
geese on a national scale is being
conducted through January 16
according to Chet Kebbe, chief
of waterfowl, Oregon Game
Commission.
More than 2,200 state and fed
eral waterfowl specialists will
make the count using 146 air
planes for aerial surveys in ad
dition to motor vehicles used on
the ground. Every known water
fowl wintering area from south
ern Canada to Yucatan in south
ern Mexico will be covered in
the survey.
In Oregon such places as the
Klamath basin, the Columbia
and Snake river basins, the Wil
lamette valley, Sauvies Island,
and other areas where water
fowl spend the winter, will be
included in the .count. Field
agents of the Oregon Game Com
mission will participate in the
inventory.
Shows Distribution ;
The survey is of considerable
value in showing the distribu
tion of wintering waterfowl and
particularly shifts in distribu
tion resulting from major
changes in land and water man
agement. Also, valuable infor
mation is obtained regarding the
actual numbers of birds present
in certain areas and North Amer
ica as a whole.
This is the eighth such survey
which can be considered as com
paring with the counts of pre
vious years. The surveys are run
on a large scale, and by covering
the whole continent in a two
week period an accurate count
of population numbers is obtain
ed with little chance of birds
being counted twice.

Dayton Trips
Dukes 63-52;
10th in Row
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
The Dayton Flyers, who won't
concede for a minute that San
Francisco is the best basketball
team in the nation, matched the
Dons' perfect 10-0 record today
by adding an impressive victory
over old foe Duquesne.
Thursday night's 68-52 tri
umph on their home court was
a victory that the Flyers,' who
are ranked second nationally be
hind San Francisco, wanted very
badly. .
For one thing, it matched the
Dons' " record for this year, . al
though if doesn't come close' to
matching the champions' mark
of 36 straight extending back
to 1954. For another, it gave
Dayton revenge for a 70-58 de
feat by Duquesne in the final
round of last' season's National
Invitation tournament.
Green Scores 30
All-America Sihugo Green
made a brilliant effort to stop
Dayton, scoring a game-high
total of 30 points. In the first
eight minutes, he tallied nine
points to lead the Dukes to a
13-12 lead. But then seven-foot
Bill - Uhl of the Flyers tipped
in a rebound and Dayton never
fell behind again. As Duquesne
played a slow-down game to
combat the Flyers' big height
and speed edge, Dayton ground
out a 32-26 halftime margin and
pulled away to win easily in the
final 10 minutes. '
While Dayton kept zooming
along, George Washington, rank
ed No. 10 in the nation, was
Thursday night's major upset
victim, 62-48, in a game against
Maryland. It was only the sec
ond loss in 11 games for the
Colonials, .who won - the Mid
winter Tournament last month.
