Ike Logart, Fuentes Mix New York U.R) Sleek Isaac Logart, the second "Cat-Man" from Camaguey, Cuba, meets stocky bulldogged Ramon Fuen tes of Los Angeles tonight in a welterweight contenders' TV radio fight at Madison Square garden. Young Logart is favored at 17-5 because of his catlike speed and spitfire flurries of blows assets that once made Kid Gavi lan of Camaguey the world wel terweight champion. Stalking that same 147-pound crown, Logart proved the sur prise welterweight of 1955 as he battled from obscurity to his current fifth place among con tenders. He won seven of eight fights with good opponents last year and reversed the lone loss. Fuentes is the number three contender, but he is the under dog because, at 30, he is eight years older than Camaguey Ike and is believed by many betting men to lack Ike's speed, skill and punch. However, Ramon of the crumpled nose and bulging muscles is physically stronger than Logart and very rugged, although he cuts easily. And he is very aggressive. , Five Preliminary Bouts Planned on Tuesday for Mueller-Martinez Card Portland A total of 24 rounds of preliminary bouts will round out the Portland Boxing club's fistic offering Tuesday, Febru ary 14, at the Portland city audi torium which features a ten- round main event between two of the nation's leading middle weight contenders, Peter.

Wind Up Training Both Mueller, recognized as the middleweight champion of Germany, and Martinez have ar rived in Portland to wind up training chores.

(International) .Tribune Tornado Aims To Sew Up Tournament Spot; Ashland Here Tonight Successful defense of the Southern - Oregon Conference championship and the No. 1 berth from District 6 in the Ore gon A-l high school basketball tourney are major objectives of the Medford high school basket ball team but the Black Tornado will be out to reach another important goal this week end just plain assurance of a spot m the state hassle at Eugene in March. Medford entertains Ashland at Hedrick junior high gym nasium tonight and goes to Ash land on Saturday while, in an other conference s series, the Grants Pass Cavemen play both nights at Klamath Falls. " The Tornado can be certain of one of the district's two tour ney berths by sweeping its Griz zly games. A split with Ashland will assure at least a tie in the chase for one of the two A-l meet positions. Ashland Improved Action since the early Janu ary scuffle between the Tornado and Grizzlies, however, indicates that. Medford will meet an im proved and stronger Ashland aggregation. And the Lithians will be making a last ditch effort in the struggle for league laurels. Ashland has the potential of a titular club but, while giving its rivals trouble, lost five of its first six loop games. Unless the Grizzlies can win both . games from Medford this week, they'll be out of the running for the championship and virtually out of the race for a tourney place. Medford, nevertheless, is the favorite, with its 6-0 record to zoom on to the conference title. The Black Tornado has surprised a lot of observers with its driv ing, scrapping, poised play and is expected to continue the fight and hustle which has gained for it one of the top ratings in state wide polls. Plumley Limping This week end the Tornado will be forced to function with out its top rebound man and with a couple of other men not up to par physically. Coach Frank Roelandt said that Neil Plumley, tallest of the Torna does, may be in suit tonight although he's not likely to see duty. Plumley sprained his ankle early in the Roseburg fuss last Saturday and sat out the rest of the game. The Tornado without Plumley still has men capable of making a great scrap under the boards in John Foust, Dick McLaugh lin and Dick Copple. . Copple is getting over his ill ness and should be all right to play although he could tire easily. Larry Perkins, top re serve, has been hampered by a bum ankle but will be able to play Roelandt reported. Probable starting five for Med ford is Copple, McLaughlin, Foust, Lloyd Cearley and Bob Tisdel with Ed Tieinking pos sibly seeing considerable service. Ashland May Run , Of the Ashland crew, Stuart Baker, one of the taller boys, has been ill and could see only limited service. Gene Parent and Phil Sword are almost cer tain starters with the other three to be picked from among Baker, Harry Johnson, Lance. Locke and Dave Woods! Jack Eberhart likely ,wiil see a lot of duty. -. Ashland hopes may lie in be ing able to outrun the Tornado. And, if the Grizzlies follow the strategy which has been hinted, fans may see a fast moving pair of games. The Grizzlies can give Medford plenty of trouble if they can get all their big guns firing atronce. ' " During the half time of the Saturday night game there will be a special coronation cere mony of the Ashland high sports quet;n and her princesses with the flag girls and the AHS band putting on a special show. The new bleachers upstairs will in sure plenty of good general ad mission seats for all of the fans. Warriors Snap St. Louis String By UNITED PRESS i The Philadelphia Warriors snapped the St. Louis Hawks' nine game winning streak, but Paul Arizin of . the Warriors failed to wrest the scoring lead from Bob Pettit of the Hawks. That was the story at Phila delphia Thursday night as the Warriors caught fire in the last eight minutes to beat the Hawks, 108-97. The victory enabled the Warriors to retain a 3V2 game lead in the Eastern Division of the National Basketball Assn., as second-place Boston nipped Syra cuse, 98-97, on Bob Cousy's last second basket. Arizin fired 34 points through the hoop to take scoring honors, but Pettit notched 27 for St. Louis to hold a slightly-reduced lead in their red-hot scoring duel.
