Tornado
To Scuffle Beaverton
Medford's Black Tornado, fi
nalist five times and champion
twice in '-the 37 years that an
Oregon prep titlist has been de
cided, headed today for the state
Class A-l basketball tourney at
Eugene, hopeful of grasping its
first diadem since 1929. It will
be Medford's 13th tourney ap
pearance. The Tornada squad of 11
strong, 10 of whom will be in
uniform for games, headed
north this morning and was to
workout this afternoon at Mc
Arthur court.
Beaverton, champ of the Tualatin-Yamhill
Valley league,
will be Medford's first foe. The
clubs contend at 3 p.m. Wed
nesday. Winner of that fracas
will play again at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday, meeting the victor of
the North Salem-Milwaukie
brush. Losers of the Wednes
day ei. counters clash at 11 a.m.
Thursday.
' Only reportedly ailing mem
ber of the Tornado squad was
rugged all-conference forward
Dick McLaughlin. He had a
"touch of flu," yesterday but
was on hand for a light work
out end should be okeh, accord
ing to Coach Frank Roelandt.
Eugeno0Top Choice
Medford goes into the titular
tourney as one of the teams to
beat. Eugene which downed the
Tornado 72 to 56 in the 1955
finals is again the favorite. The
Axmen may have to contend
with highly regarded Franklin
of Portland in their upper
bracket. Jefferson, Portland co
champ along with Franklin, has
been rated "most likely to suc
ceed" in the bottom bracket.
But Marshfield and Medford are
ranked as strong contenders.
Overall, however, the field is
considered one of the best bal
anced in several years.
The Tornado won its first
state hoop toga in 1924. It was
runner-up in 1928 and 1939 in
addition to last year.
There are seven teams back
from last year's tourney entries.
In addition to Medford and Eu
gene they are Franklin, South
Salem, Milton-Freewater (Mac
Hi), Kilwaukie and Central
Catholic.
Eugene (U.P.) The pride
oIq Oregon's prep basketball
crop starts action tonight in
the opening round of the five
day state Class A-l high school
tourney here. Paired in open
ing night games are Central
Catholic and Lincoln of Port
land in the opener and McMinn
ville and Klamath Falls in the
night's second game.
The two games tonight will
kick-off what is expected to be
the biggest extravaganza since
the tournament moved to Mc
Arlhur court in 1947. Last year
more than 77,000 fans witnessed
tournament action and officials
said that ticket sales this year
continued to run 10 per cent
above the corresponding period
a year ago.

Ellsworth Seeks Solution
On Savage Rapids Screens
Congressman Harris Ellsworth
has informed Oregon division di
rectors of the Izaak Walton
League of America that he feels
expenditure of non-reimbursable
federal funds for screening in
take turbines at Savage Rapids
dam is proper. But the represen
tative from Oregon's fourth dis
trict said that there is no author
ity apparently in existing laws
for such an expenditure and that
special legislature authorizing
funds may be necessary.
The word from Ellsworth was
heard at the state IW directors'
meeting Saturday at Eugene. It
was contained in a telegram from
the congressman to Dr. David
Charlton, Portland, Waltonian
national director.
Ellsworth stated that securing
passage of special legislation on
the Savage Rapids dam (on
Rogue river) matter would be
both time consuming and diffi
cult. He reported that he hopes
to solve the, screening appropriation-
matter by other means and
is not giving up on his ideas un
til he obtains answers to several
specific questions. The congress
man said he expected to have the
answers early this week.
Fish Destroyed
Screening of the Savage Rap
ids intake turbines of the Grants
Pass turbines is sought to pre
vent damage and destruction to
downstream migrating fish. The
turbines on the river have been
described as possibly the No. 1
factor in the decline of salmon
and steelhead runs on the Rogue.
Jackson county chapter of the
Izaak Walton league has taken
steps in the efforts to get federal
appropriation for installation of
the four screens required. Presi
dent Norton Smith and State
Director Paul Weiland of the lo
cal chapter have done much of
the writing and negotiating in
connection with this project.
Weiland, who attended the
performance run I Try this Ford yourself ... for
pick-up . . . for passing ... for hill-leveling!

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN
Eugene meeting, stated that the
IWL nationally is -backing the
screening matter to the limit. He
said he received assurances from
Bruce Yeager, Roseburg, who
represented the Oregon Wildlife
federation at the session, that
the federation would start work
ing hard on the Savage Rapids
issue. It was felt that the backing
of the National Wildlife federa
tion also could" be obtained.
On the matter of Rogue basin
flood control, directors voted
that the division should ask the
Oregon state water resources
board for a survey. Jack Binford,
Portland, Waltonian and mem
ber of the resources board, said
that Umpqua river basin people
have asked the state group for a
survey, and that it will be made.
