Quiet Coach Pete Newell and his University of California Bears aren't giyen much of a chance to stop the San Fran cisco machine, which raced away to a 20-0 lead last season before Cal could get on the boards. Although the USF-Cal clash is the big'un, there are plenty of other interesting attractions along casaba row. Trojans Favored Washington, which moved into a second place tie with idle Southern California in the Pa cific Coast Conference race by beating Washington State twice, will try to hang in there with a brace of games against Oregon State at Corvallis. But the ad vantage must go to the Trojans, who will be in Moscow, Ida., at the same time for two shots at Idaho's starving Vandals. Stanford will try to regain its own second place spot which it had shared with USC when it meets Oregon twice at the In dians' pavilion. UCLA, still on top of the PCC heap with a 4-0 conference mark, meets Arizona (Tempe) State in a single contest. Surprise Parlies Oregon State and Idaho gave the surprise parties last week end. The Beavers, unaccustomed to having such poor years under Coach Slats Gill, trampled Stan ford 69-59 on Friday night after having winning only four of 14 contests. However, the Injuns salvaged things on Saturday by winning 75-50 behind the shooting of varsity griddr Carl Isaacs. He led the Indians on an uprising which broke a 12-12 tie and put them ahead for the night. Idaho finally won a PCC tilt by toppling Oregon 61-59 Satur day after losing 84-76 on Fri day. Jim Branom, whose reluct ance to shoot last year helped ease him onto the second squad, potted a field goal in the final seconds for the win. Washington swept the boards against Washington State, 62-42 and 80-57. Skyhigh center Bruno Boin tallied 21 points for the Huskies In the Saturday game.

Northwest Loop To Be Intact Portland (U.R) The North west baseball league was assur ed that all seven loop clubs would be on hand when the 1956 pennant race gets underway as league directors, meeting here yesterday, heard optimistic re ports from each of the league entries. Early reports had indicated that Spokane might be forced out of the league due to financial difficulties. But Curt Haggerty, representing Henry George who was appointed president of the Spokane franchise Saturday, said the Indians are fully pre pared to enter the circuit. All seven teams will play a 130-game schedule, opening April 28. High School Scores SATURDAY BASKETBALL By United Press Astoria 67 ClaUkanie 43 The Dalles 64 La Grande 51 Cen.

Medford's ambitious cagers came up with a rugged, tough fighting, hard-driving team per formance Saturday night to sub due the Cavemen 67 to 57. The conquest along with an also hard-earned 42 to 39 count Fri day kept the Tornado, at the halfway halt of the conference race, in the best position among the Big Four, to go on to the conference title. Undefeated in six league games and boasting an 11-2 sea son standing, Medford maintain ed a two-game lead over the Klamath' Falls Pelicans who top ped Ashland 62 to 55 on Friday and 63 to 51 on Saturday. And only two more triumphs are needed to assure the Tornado of at least second spot in the loop. Top two clubs of the circuit will go to the A-l state tournament this year. Big Men Spark While the Tornado battled vigorously aggressive as a team Saturday night, it was the big men in the line-up who spurred the club and made the dif ference. Neil Plumley and Dick McLaughlin gave Medford one sided command on the back boards and the two and Dick Copple contributed heaviest' to the scoring. Medford, unlike its tough Fri day situation, was never behind Saturday night and it was Cop pie's first quarter shooting which most helped the Tornado go ahead to 'stay. He put in 10 of his total 14 points in the pe riod. Plumley was high shooter for the night with 18 and Mc Laughlin compiled 16. In the backboarding big Neil collected 15 retrieves and McLaughlin, a first half demon under the boards with 11, had 14 for the game. After first quarter deadlocks of 2-all and 4-all, Copple gave Medford its lead for good with his third field goal and the Tor nado pulled in front 17 to 8 by the end of the stanza. GP Threat From then on it was a matter of Medford building good leads and Grants Pass scrapping back to narrow them down. The Cave men never got closer than with in seven points of the Medford ites in the last three periods of the fast tempo game but they were a threat right up until the final moments of the scramble and they refused to let the Tor nado run completely away with the game. Halftime score was 35 to 24 and the third intermission mar gin was 54 to 40. Medford appeared on its way to a decisive win in the second quarter when, paced by Plum ley's three close in buckets, it built a 27 to 10 advantage. Re serve Owen Winger applied the comeback spark for GP, how ever. He got two goals from the field and a pair from the free line as the Cavemen sliced the Medford lead to 27 to 20 during a Tornado scoring drouth. McLaughlin, Tisdel and Cop ple fired Medford to a 16-point bulge of 43 to 27 in the third canto but the Cavemen cut it to 46 to 38 and 48 to 40. Grants Pass outscored Med ford 17 to 13 in the last quarter but the Tornado lead never slip ped below eight points. Medford turned to ball control in the final minutes to keep GP from getting closer. Fouls whistled against regu lars meant heavier service for reserves John Foust, Larry Per kins and Ed Reinking. Copple and Bob Tisdel were charged with their fourth fouls early in the third quarter and sat out for nine and 8 minute stretches, respectively. Plumley fouled out with better than 2 minutes to play. Medford shot .390 from the field for the night with 25 out of 64. The Tornado made 17 out of 29 free shots while Grants Pass got 23 for 37. Rebounding advantage was 48 to 27 for Medford. Larry Hen derson was GP top man on the boards with nine. Foust got six for Medford. Allen Drews was high point man for the Cavemen with 15. Southern Oregon Conference play halts until February 10 and 11 when Medford plays Ashland and GP plays Klamath. Medford plays Marshfield at Coos Bay next Friday and North Bend at that coast city on Saturday. On February 4 Roseburg comes to Medford for a make-up ruckus.

M. Souchak Golf Victor Tijuana (U.R) The 1956 golf tournament trail is three weeks old and as the stars head ed for the fourth week of com petition, three men already had championships listed to their credit. Michael Souchak,- the man who majored in history at Duke University but found gold on the golf courses instead, is the latest winner annexing the $2. 200 top prize in the S12.500 Caliente Open Tournament here Sunday. Lloyd Mangrum, the veteran professional from Los Angeles, won his fourth Los Angeles Open to start the year, and Dr. Cary Middlecoff captured top money at Bing Crosby's clam bake at Pebble Beach. So that makes the $15,000 Palm Springs Invitational, start ing on Thursday, a wide open affair. Souchak's steady par shoot ing Sunday brought him victory in the big tournament here as he calked up a 71 for a 281 total to break a record of 282 on this course in 1934 by Whiffy Cox. For second place, Tommy Bolt picked up a check for $1,500 after rounds of 69-70-69-75 283.
