Medford's spirited Black Tor
nado will be seen for the first
time in two weeks on its home
basketball court Saturday night.
It entertains the Grants Pass
high Cavemen at 8:15 p.m. at
Hedrick junior high school.
The fracas will conclude a two
game week end series. Opener
is slated this evening at Grants
Pass.
Ambition of the Tornado, run
ning hard to successfully defend
its 1955 championship, is to
sweep the series and wind up
the first half of its 12-game
Southern Oregon Conference
schedule unblemished. Grants
Pass will aim at getting back
into the chase for loop honors.
Tied with Ashland in the cel
lar, the Cavemen are now three
games behind the Black Tornado
in the standings. But the GP
quintet is by no means out of
contention. And, the Cavemen
are still anxious to grab at least
second place in the circuit if they
can't have first. Runner-up in
O the conference campaign also
goes to the'A--l state tourney this
year.
Klamath Falls currently holds
on to second position and will
strive to hold it against an in
vasion by the Ashland Grizzlies
on Friday and Saturday.
Pause in Loop
Southern Oregon Conference
play will pause for three weeks
after this Friday and Saturday's
series. Medford will resume loop
play against Ashland on Febru
ary 10 and 11.
Coach Frank Roelandt said
this morning that, as of yester
day's practice, the Medford
squad was in good physical
shape for the GP games. The Tor
nado is the favorite for the se
ries on the basis of full season
and conference record and holds
a high state rating while the
Cavemen are unranked. Never
theless, the Cavemen have at
times flashed a potential which
could make it rough for Med
ford. 'And GP teams have been

8 A Issued
Challenge
By Helfand
New York (U.R) Julius
Helfand, apparently victorious
in New York State,- was openly
crusading for a nation-wide
clean-up of the fight game today
by demanding that the National
Boxing association's executive
committee end its "sheer hypocrisy."
Chairman Helfand's New
York State Athletic Commission
is not a member of the NBA; but
he challenged its executive com
mittee to repeal last Saturday's
Chicago recommending resolu
tion that would permit fighters
to sign their own contracts for
bouts even though their man
agers had been suspended or un
licensed in other states. , '
Two, Actions Nullified
Helfand delivered his blister
ing challenge at Thursday night's
annual dinner of the Boxing
Writers association, on the same
dais with Lou Radzienda of Chi
cago, president of the NBA.
Fiery Julius -declared that
Saturday's own-signing resolu
tion "nullified" two other Satur
day resolutions that would have
supported the , N.Y. state ban
against the -N.Y. Boxing Guild
and would have "provided the
happiest day in boxing history."
One resolution recommended
the NBA states require a pro
moter matchmaker, manager,
boxer trainer or second to be li
censed in his home state before
obtaining a license in another.
The second called on "every
state in the country" to uphold
any suspension, . revocation or
denial of a license in any other
state.
