MEDFORDaTEIBUire TORNADO, PELS MIX TONIGHT, SATURDAY 1 '' ' Klamath Falls, rated in pre season .the team to beat, is host to Medford high, the defending champion, tonight and Saturday night in Southern Oregon Con ference basketball and the series could indicate well how the rest of the January and February campaign could go - whether it looms as a tight race or whether one team will command it. If either team can sweep the series, it will take a two-game lead in the conference. If the Black Tornado and Pelicans di vide, they will remain knotted for the leadership. Klamath's greater height and the fact that it is playing at home gives it the favored posi tion. But there were reports this morning that the Tornado is in full "health, mentally up and dead set on bringing home a pair of Victories. The Pelicans have added in centive in ambitions to stop a six-game Medford winning string wer them. In 1954 Klamath wo the first two games of 'league conflict and Medford the final two. Last year Medford swept all four from the Pels. Statewide Inierest Rivalry at Klamath Falls takes on state wide interest also because the two adversaries are ranked among the top 10 in .the Associated Press poll.
