Dons Go Out
To Deadlock
Win Record
By HENRY RIEGER
San Francisco U.R) Only a
miracle in the form of a major
upset tonight can keep the na
tion's number one University of
San Francisco basketballers
from becoming the third team
in collegiate history to ring up
39-consecutive victories.
Potential victim 39 is Fresno
State, a team with a 6-3 record
compiled against opposition gen
erally inferior to that which the
Dons have upended in winning
their first 12 games this season.
Tf San Francisco whips Fresno
state at Fresno tonight, and
even the staunchest Fresno fan
doubts that the Dons will drop
this one. it iointly will share
honor as the winningest college
alnns with the 1937 Long Island
university club and the 1942 Se
trm Hall five.
And the Dons reckon to ac
complish this feat in two seasons
whereas their predecessor pair
The Dons stand to become the
first to make it 40.
Two weeks from tomorrow
nieht. following a two week lay
off for mid-year exams, San
Francisco resumes the torrid
tiace in what could be the tough
est game of them all, that with
the vastly Improved university
, of California quint.
The game will be played In
Cal's gym where the Bears sel
dom lose even in an off.year.

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. Medford

has No. 4 billing and Klamath
Falls No. 7. While the Tornado
is rated ahead of Klamath in the
statewide view, opinion within
the conference, itself, gives the
nod to the Pelicans. It will take
this series to tell the tale.

Tornado as usual has not nar
rowed his selections for starting
five. He'll pick, again from six,
Dick Copple, Dick- McLaughlin,
Neil Plumley, Bob Tisdel,' Lloyd
Cearley and John Foust.
Coach Don Peterson may call
on Earle Tichenor, Glenn Moore,
Dave Pepple, Donn Taucher and
Butch Kimpton. Moore is 6-6 and
Tichenor 6-5 while Plumley is
the tallest Medfordite at a listed
6-4.
Junior varsity teams of the
two schools will.be foes both
nights in the preliminaries. Mc

ford will play a 4:30 p.m. hassle
with the Klamath freshnjan on

Race among . the leaders
the Medford Independent Basket
ball League tightened up a bit
this week as the Phoenix Mer
chants recorded a pair of vic
tories and Company A of the
National Guard came up with
the upset of the season. . '
The week saw Prospect suffer
its first loss but there was little
shuffling in actual positions in
the standings.
Company A roused up from
its second division spot to spill
the Prospectors but the upper
Rogue quintet maintained a one
game lead over second place
YMCA by nicking that aggrega
tion. Phoenix with its triumphs
pulled into a tie with the Y in
the standings. Hawkinson Tire
Tread was a game behind in
fourth spot after a win over
Moose Lodge.
Guard Presses, Runs
Two wins in the week by Com
pany A enabled it to take, fifth
place alone.
MIBL action resumes next
week.
The Guardsmen in nipping
Prospect utilized a full court
press, control of the backboards
and a fast break to overcome a
23 to 47 deficit and get a 58
to 57 final edge. While the Guard
defense was keeping the Pros
pect club from getting good
shots, -Joe Nolan was the king
pin in getting NG control of the
ball with his rebounding.
The fast break gave Company
A numerous close in shots. Vern
Parent led the scoring with 26
points and came through with
some vital steals.
