Black Tornado Opposes Pel Cagers Tonight, Saturday Medf ord's Black Tornado makes the big try tonight to wrap up its second consecutive Southern Oregon conference and district- basketball cham pionships while the Klamath Falls Pelicans contend to keep in the race for the diadems and a berth in the state A-l cage tournament. . The two aggregations collide this evening on the Hedrick jun ior high court. Game time is 8:15 p.m. They battle again at the - same hour on Saturday night in the same place. Jayvee games are set for 6:45 p.m. on both occasions. It was indicated this morning that last night's snow storm would not impede travel of the Pelicans to Medford. While Medford and Klamath are contending Grants Pass will be at Ashland tonight and will host the Grizzlies on Saturday in other conference games. Both series this week end are in the crucial category. Grants Pass is out of the running for the league championship but still has a chance for one of two state tourney berths from the district. A Klamath win this - week end and one Caveman loss would put GP out of the run ning. Toss-Up Series Medford defeated the Pels twice at Klamath Falls and vic tory on the KF floor is a major accomplishment. But, while, the Tornado may be slightly favor ed, it has no cinch in the week end series. The conflicts are considered toss-ups. Klamath 4 will bring a team boasting superior height and balance by good smaller men. Medford, however, will put on the floor a crew which has on numerous occasions demonstrat ed ability - :so overcome height disadvantage with furious play under backboards. Reports "irom Klamath Falls J today were that' Coach Don i Peterson plans to start Glenn Koore and Earle Tichenor, two of his three tall men and Orin Perkins, Butch Kimpton and Donn Taucher. That is the com bination which has gone best in practice. Cliff Sutherland was a starter rather than Tichenor last week. Jerry Burke is the man behind Perkins. For Medford Coach Frank Roelandt will pick from among six, Dick McLaughlin, John Foust, Dick Copple, Neil Plum ley, Bob Tisdel and Lloyd Cear- ley. The Black Tornado goes into the series with a 14 win 4 loss record. .Klamath's season stand ing is 10-6.

' " . k Jenkins, making his last 'ap pearance in a major internation al event, grabbed a big lead in the men's compulsory figures Thursday and seemed a shoo-in to complete the triumph in to day's free skating phase of the competition.

SF Dons Go After 46th Cage Victory By HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer San Francisco (U.R) The University of San Francisco Dons, still riding the crest of one of the most remarkable victory strings in sports, go after their 46th s consecutive win tonight without any signs of pressure bothering them... . "We still are playing one game at a time," says Coach Phil Woolpert. "That way we don't worry about the victory string or what would happen if it was broken. ' -; ' "When we talk about the up coming game,' I never under estimate the power of the opposi tion and at the same .time, I never over-rate it. Our boys just go steadily along playing their game the best they can, because they like to win." - v The Dons take on St. Mary's college at Richmond tonight and that should be pretty much of a breeze for this USF club with the professional polish. CBA Opponents So-So "Woolpert admits that the cal iber of competition in the Cali fornia -.Basketball... -Association isn't the greatest this year. . -'-- "Most of trie teams are made up of sophomores," says the young coach. "So things aren't as tough as they might be. But when we have to step up our brand of play, I think we can do it.' v; : v- ': " ' -. -, .. Woolpert still is sticking with his star guard, K. C. Jones in the lineup despite the fact that Jones will be ineligible for the NCAA play-offs.. ( "He is a great performer and I want him to get in as much playing time as possible," says Woolpert. "When he is through; then Gene Brown will move into his position." : The Dons are just two games away from a cinch berth in the I NCAA play-offs, where their op position will be the UCLA Bruins, in all likelihood. But they don't expect too much trouble there, either. They are looking forward to the possibil ity of meeting Utah in the second round. 5 Friday, February 17, 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN ROSEBURG INDIANS DEFEAT MEDFORD GRAPPLERS 37-9 Mike Fetchick Heads Texas Tiff San Antonio, Tex.
