San Francisco (U.R) The
eyes of the basketball world
and even Texas will be on
USF next Saturday night when
the Dons go after the 40th
.straight victory which would
make them the only major col
lege quintet In history to turn
the trick.
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.

Lose Bouts
Tacoma, Wash. (U.R) Both
Medford entries in the Golden
Gloves boxing tournament here
lost their first round matches
Friday night.
In the 178-lb. class, Willie
Richardson of the Ramblers club
of Portland knocked out Loren
Christean of Medford in the first
round.
In the 112-lb. class, Tommy
Takao of the Royal Athletic
club, Seattle, outpointed Larry
Lewis of Medford.
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.

Only two more Southern Ore
gon Conference victories that's
all the aggressive Medford high
Black Tornado needs to gain a
berth in the 1956 Oregon Class
A-l prep basketball tourney
after completing a two-game
week end sweep over the stubborn-yielding
Grants Pass Cave
men. 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.

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.

Phoenix high will open the
second half of the Rogue Bas
ketball league campaign in Feb
ruary with a three-game spread
over its closest rival.
Pirate leadership was boosted
to that width Saturday night
when the Phoenix club crunch
ed Ilinois Valley 65 to 30 for its
sixth straight loop triumph and
Eagle Point downed Crater 49
to 44.
While the forerunning quin
tet rolled on undefeated in the
circuit, Illinois Valley suffered
its sixth consecutive setback in
the loop. The Cougars have yet
to win in 13 games this season.
Eagle Point's Saturday success
gave it a week end series split
with the Comets and deadlocked
the two aggregations again in
second spot.
Phoenix and Illinois Valley
had a slow first half but action
picked up in the third quarter
with the Pirates fast breaking.
Quarter counts all in favor of
Phoenix were 18 to 8, 29 to 20,
and 49 to 27.
Good Free Shooting
For the first half the Pirates
gained an edge in field goals of
just eight to six but 13 free shots
rounded out the midway mar
gin. Phoenix made 15 out of 17
free shot tries for the evening
with Bill Madden firing 10 for
10. He and Jim Korth of the
Pirates were high point men
with 18 each, duplicating their
Friday totals against IV. Korth
again got all his points on field
goals.
Free shots played an impor
tant part in the Eagle victory.
Crater had the advantage in
goals from the field 17 to 16 but
Eagle Point made 17 of 23 gift
tries to Crater's 10 for 18. By
periods Eagle Point led 18 to 11,
27 to 23 and 38 to 35. Crater had
the rebounding edge 39 to 31.
Jack Greb was the top tally
man with 21 for the Eagles.
John Shama fired for 15 for the
Comets.
