The stalwarts who carry the
Medford high Black Tornado
standard on the maplecourt to;
day reviewed a highly success
ful regular season and looked
forward to the Oregon A-l tourn
ament at Eugene with only one
bit of apprehension. They hope
they don't come down with the
measles.
Medford's high spirited hoop
men, a surprise aggregation to
pre-season prognosticators, com
pleted their Southern Oregon
Conference campaign with an
11-win 1-loss standing Saturday
night with their sparkling 67 to
54 victory over the Grams Pass
Cavemen at Grants Pass. They
finished with a 17-5 mark for
the state's allowable 22-ganie
slate in pre-tourney schedule.
Sharpshooters from long range
. and almost two to one command
under the backboards were the
keys to the win as the Tornado
regulars, loose and relaxed,
played a sharp game. Medford
came out ahead in a nip and tuck
first quarter, broke away in the
second and continued to pile up
its margin the third. The Black
Tornado was 25 points on top
early in the final period.
Fear that illness might hurt
state tourney possibilities came
when Chuck Nevi of the Cave
men broke out with -measles
Saturday. The Tornado players
were "exposed" to him in the
Friday scramble here.
Bernet Gets 28 . .
Medford margins at the inter
missions Saturday were 18 to
14, 35 to 20 and 55 to 34. Re
serves took over after the Tor
nado built its . widest bulge in
the final stanza. The lead had
shrunk to 10 points with three
minutes to play and the regulars
went back to finish out the game.
Frick Tells
Plan For TV
Presentation
By CARL LUNDQUIST
Phoenix, Ariz. (U.R) Base
ball. Commissioner Ford Frick
disclosed plans today for a gi
gantic television "spectacular"
whlchwill develop "the story of
baseball as an American institu
tion.". "I want this to be one of the
finest things that the American
people ever have seen on their
TV screens," he said. "I have
been in Los Angeles and Holly
wood discussing' plans for the
show which will come shortly
before the opening of the major
league season, possibly on the
Sunday night preceding the
openers.".
The show, which will be tele
vised by the National Broadcast
ing Co., will run an hour and a
half. Top script writers, actors
and actresses, and production
men are involved in putting it
together.
In Color TV
1 "It will also be in color TV
and there will be a narration,
something along the lines of
what was done in the play 'Our
Town' with flashbacks, pictures
of the old great stars," he said.
f'The show probably will origin
ate from Hollywood but baseball
.personalities in various cities
v will come into the picture."
Frick said he wanted the spec
tacular to "tell a story" and that
it is designed for the enjoyment
of both youngsters and old tim
ers. "And we're going to have both
youngsters and old timers in the
script, too," he said. "We want
some Little Leaguers and kids
from the Babe Ruth league in
it, along with some of the mem
bers of, the Hall of Fame."
Frick, relaxing in the brilliant
sunshine by the swimming pool
at his resort hotel here, said the
. TV show would climax the
second annual "Baseball Week"
which he instituted last year.
Swaps Could Have Won
Handicap, Owner Says
Arcadia, Calif. (U.R) The
runaway victory of Bobby Bro
cato in the $100,000 Santa An
ita handicap failed to impress
Swaps' owner, Rex C. Ellsworth
who" said today that his horse
would have won the race had
he elected to run.
"But we weren't going to risk
a million dollar horse on that
kind of footing," Ellsworth told
the United Press. "Every horse
that ran in the race took a
chance and we didn't want to
take the risk with Swaps. It was
a big disappointment to us not
to run him. Had he run, he
would have won." -
Ellsworth said there was noth
ing wrong with . Swap's foot
which had been operated on and
the horse can handle any sort
of going. But he said he and
trainer Mesach Tenney felt all
'along he was behind in his
training and the slow, sticky
track that prevailed Saturday
could have hurt the horse.

By UNITED PRESS
Berths ' in the 16-team state
class A-l basketball tourney are
rapidly filling; up with four
more clubs making the cherish
ed circle this past , week end.
Two ciubs had spots already
notched going into the week

already in, three other clubs
moved up into positions where
they are assured no worse than
a tie for a berth. Jefferson of
Portland and Pendleton and
Mac-Hi of the Blue' Mountain

worse than , tied for spots and
all appear to be good bets to
make the. trip without a playoff

To Go Ahead With
Pelton Dam Project
Portland (U.R) Portland
General Electric company, faced
with considerable opposition to
its plans for construction of Pel
ton dam on the Deschutes river,
has authorized a $173,000 con
tract for the project, signalling
the company's intention to go
ahead with construction of the
controversial project as one of
Oregon's most popular fishing
streams.
The initial contract announc
ed was granted to Fred H. Slate
and E. C. Hall company of
Portland for construction of
some four miles of access road
into the project site, west of the
city of Madras.- V
Fishing Interests Object
The major opposition voiced
against construction of the dam
has come from sports fishing in
terests and others who contend
the (Construction would harm the
wish runs on the river.
The company's request for a
license to construct the dam was
denied by the Oregon Hydro
electric commission. The U. S.
Supreme court over-ruled the
state body in a decision last
June, however.
PGE Board Chairman Thom

call and - specifications issued
early last week for major dam
structures, general . . details of
a fish ladder almost three miles
long, having a gradient - much
less steep than the successful
ladders at Bonneville dam and
other large projects were - in
cluded. The single ladder would
bypass both the ' main Pelton
dam and a smaller re-regulating
dam 2V2 miles downstream. '

Delzell described the propos
ed ladder, as a . "unique and ex
