Coyotes Continue
March To Crown
By UNITED PRESS
College of Idaho and Pacific
notched wins in Northwest con
ference action last night as the
Coyotes continued their seem
ingly unstoppable march toward
retention of the loop flag.
Coach Len Yandle's charges
measured Lewis and Clark, 80
62, at Caldwell as R. C. Owens
hit 29 points. -.The win ran the
Coyote string to eight-won and
one-lost in counting play.
In the other half of last
.night's schedule, Pacific trail
ing . by 17 points at the half,
rallied to trim Whitman, 82-65
Jerry Kalapus, the leading scor
er in this affair, stuffing through
24 counters.
-i Lewis and Clark took an early
12-6 margin in their battle at
Caldwell but by halftime were
trailing 39-30. With Idaho hit
ting an even .400 from the field,
the Pioneers were never in con
tention from that point on.
Whitman had a seemingly safe
37-20 bulge at the intermission
in their battle with Pacific, but
the Badgers came back . frorn
the rest period red hot to win
going away.

Prep basketball activity in this
section of the state this week end
will 'be highlighted by the re
sumption of Southern Oregon
Conference games after a three
week's -pause, by Phoenix's ef
forts to sew up the Rogue League
flag and by a crucial conflict
among leaders in the 'Jackson
County B League.
Medford's Black Tornado, un-
marred in six games of the first
round in the Southern Oregon
circuit, entertains Ashland Fri
day and goes to the Grizzly town
on : Saturday. Gram's Pass will
play both nights at -Klamath
Falls. v- - - -
In the Rogue circuit Phoenix
is host to Crater Friday and faces
the Comets at Central Point Sat
urday. Illinois Valley and Eagle
Point contend at Eagle Point
Friday and at Cave Junction Saturday.
SM at Talent ,
Friday B league scraps are St.
Mary's . at Talent, Prospect at
Jacksonville and Butte Falls at
Rogue River. - Prospect is host
to Rogue River this evening. The
game was postponed from last
Friday because of the legal hol
iday.- - :
Medford needs only a pair of
triumphs to assure itself of a
state tourney berth from District
6 A-JL. That would clinch at
least second place for the Tor
nado and two teams from this
district make the Eugene jaunt
this year. .
The Black Tornado, leading
Klamath Falls by two games, is
in the best position to go on to
the SO title. Ashland and Grants
Pass are tied three games behind
the Pelicans but are still mathe
matically in the chase and have
indicated that they'll make a
tough fight of the second half.
Eye Crater Fracas
Phoenix can tuck away the
A-2 Rogue laurels by winning
any two of its remaining four
games. However, the Pirates
have . hopes of making quick
'work of title clinching with a
single victory one over Crater
Friday. Rogue League contention
has no bearing on a berth in the
A-2 state tourney. However, No
1 and 2 clubs in the final Rogue
standings will draw first round
byes in the southern division
tourney of District 6.
Talent with the advantage of
its home court will try to dead
lock the race with St. Mary's for
the B league banner. The Bull
dogs only loss in the loop has
been to SM. The Crusaders, un
beaten in seven hassles, will vir
tually ascertain the crown for
themselves with a win over Tal
ent. A loss to the Bulldogs likely
would mean a play-off at the encj,
of the regular slate.'
