Dayton Picked To Defeat Xavier in NiB Tournament MedfordTribune On Monddyr Hay 2M Idaho Basketball Outlook Fair Moscow, Idaho (U.R) Univer sity of Idaho Basketball Coach Harlan Hodges said the outlook for the Vandals' 1956-57 hoop season is "not too dark" despite a complete lack of seniors on the squad. Hodges will have nine vet erans who will be juniors next season, and he said there were at least six fine prospects com ing up from this year's freshman team. Six-foot five-inch Jerry Jorgenson will captain the Van dals. The Idaho team will have fair size and fair speed, said Hodges, but will lack the "one, good, big man" who can put a basketball team in a championship bracket: JUNIOR RODEO SET Madras. Ore. (U.R) Officials of the Jefferson county fair board and the Oregon Junior Rodeo association have decided to hold the Northwest Junior rodeo here for the third straight year. The rodeo is scheduled to be held August 17-19 at the Madras fairgrounds with the Jef ferson county fair board acting as sponsor. TOWEEL NOW LIGHTWEIGHT Johannesburg. South Africa (U.R) Willie Toweel announced today he will fight as a light weight from now on after forfeit ing his South African feather weight title. Toweel dropped the title when he was unable to make 126 pounds for a bout with Hubert Esakor. New York (U.R) Tall top seeded Dayton is a prohibitive choice to wallop a Xavier team bereft of its best big man tonight in the quarter-finals of the Na t i o n a 1 Invitation Basketball tournament, but third-seeded St. Joseph's is only even money against Seton Hall. The quarter-finals got under way with one surprise Monday night as short, scrappy St. Fran cis upset fourth-seeded Niagara, 74-72, in overtime. Then second-seeded Louisville made the form sheet look a little better by using its great height and bench strength advantages to trounce defending champion Duquesne, 84-72, before a crowd of 6,250 at Madison Square gar den. Experts Stick to Seedings Tonight's Dayton-Xavier win ner will tackle St. Francis in the semi-finals on Thursday, and the St. Joseph's-Seton Hall win ner will face Louisville. At this point, the experts still believe the seedings will hold true in that Dayton and Louisville will tangle in the final round on Sat urday afternoon in a game to be nationally-televised. Dayton, led by 7-foot Bill Uhl, carries a 23-3 record into tonight's fray and appears to have much too much height for Xavier (17-10). This seems more likely than ever, now that 6-5 Davi Piontek has been dropped from the Xavier squad. Piontek was banished because he violat ed the team's curfew after the first-round victory over St. Louis. St. Joseph's (21-5) ordinarily would be the favorite in the oth er game because of its seeding, but Seton Hall (20-4) gained in esteem by its 96-78 first-round victory over dangerous Mar quette. The teams are fairly evenly matched on height with Seton's Marty Farrell holding just a 1-inch edge over any St. Joseph's starter. By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor Medford sports fans will have an opportunity to see the top in world championship tennis on Monday, May 28, when Jack Kramer brings his 1956 world famous tennis tour to Hedrick junior high school gym here. The show is under sponsorship of the Medford Lions club. The feature of the program will be a head-on clash between Tony Trabert, world amateur champion, and Pancho Gonzales, world professional title holder. Kramer feels that the tour will add a variety of entertainment since he was able to sign Rex Hartwig of Australia, consid ered the world's leading ama teur doubles player, and Pancho Segura, the belting Ecuadorian, with his great two-handed fore hand, for the preliminary match. The Gonzales-Trabert clash will be part of a 100-match con test with the winner receiving a $25,000 bonus contract. On the tour so far this . year the added inducement has pro duced one of the greatest grudge matches in tennis. The loser must drop out of the next tour which means a dent in his pride as-well as in his pocketbook. The doubles will also have a special prize money contest with the winner-take-all feature for the victorious team. The doubles event, a two out of three set match, will bring together the r top professional pair of Gon zales and Segura playing the team that won a recent poll for the ideal amateur doubles com bination Trabert and Hartwig. The Lions club's share of the receipts will go toward sending members to the organization's annual convention. Boat Races At Emigrant On April 8 April 8 will be the date of the annual Emigrant lake motor boat regatta, Western Speedboat association, the sponsoring or ganization, has announced. For the first time since they have been held at the lake south east of Ashland, the races will be sanctioned by the American Power Boat association. The sanction is expected to increase the number and boost the caliber of entries. A smoother function ing series of races is foreseen. Commodore Jerry McGrew of the WSA said that entry blanks have been sent out to other rac ing clubs. Biggest field on record for the regatta is anticipated. Water supply at Emigrant lake is excellent, meaning an en larged race course. Six races, with heats in each, will be run. : Events will be D and B hydroplane, B and D util ity, F hydro and D service. Competition will begin at noon on the Sunday program. Chil dren under 12 years of age will be admitted free. Moose lodge will handle concessions.

Yanks Lead Grapefruit League Fiay By FRED DOWN . United Press Sports Writer The New York Yankees are lording it over the Grapefruit League today and they're liable to be doing the same thing to the American League this sum mer if Don Larsen and Mickey Mantle continue their spring paces. Larsen, who's turned in his joke book this spring in favor of coach Jim Turner's black book on the hitters, hurled five bril liant innings in Monday's 11-1 rout' of the Milwaukee Braves while Mantle weighed into the Yankees 18-hit attack with three hits in four tries. Larsen, who yielded only one hit Monday, now has pitched eight scoreless innings this spring while Mantle is batting .480 with 12 hits in 25 trips to the plate. Yanks Take Lead As a result, the Yankees have taken over the Grapefruit League lead with a record of eight tri umphs and only two defeats. The Yankees were able to take over the Citrus League lead when the Chicago Cubs rallied for six runs in the ninth inning to snap the Cleveland Indians' seven-game winning spurt with a 9-5 verdict. The Cubs were held to one hit a three-run homer by Ernie Banks for eight in nings by Bob Feller and Cal McLish but Frank Kellert, Monte Irvin and Bob McKee all homered in the big ninth. The Detroit Tigers pounded out 16 hits, including a homer by Harvey Kueen Monday night but dropped a 13-10 decision to the world champion Brooklyn Dodg ers. The Dodgers made the most of 13 hits and 10 walks to record their fourth win in 10 starts. Frank Lary, who started gave up only four hits and four runs in three innings but Roy Tief enauer, Jim Bunning and Joe Coleman who followed were pounded. ; ,. t, 1 I RITO ROMERO Meets O'Reilly at GP Congratulations are in order for Medford high school's two all-state basketball players, Bob Tisdel, who made the first team, and Dick McLoughlin, was named on the second five. Tisdel said concerning his selection by the tournament team coaches, "I surely feel hon ored. It's about the greatest honor I ever had ... I surely feel proud. I just wish we'd won." The stellar guard, telling about how the announcement felt to him as he went out on to the floor with the other all stars, said, "I just about didn't make it." McLaughlin registered com plete surprise when his name was the first called among the second team. "I was flabber gasted," he reported; but he add ed, "Oh man, it was wonderful." Dick admitted that he "about had heart failure." He said, very modestly, "I thought they had the wrong guy out there." SHOULD BE PROUD This writer wants to repeat what he said last year after the Black Tornado lost to Eu gene in the finals of the stale high school basketball tourna ment. And that is that Med ford can and should still feel proud of its prep basketball team and the players have nothing to be ashamed of in their loss to the Franklin Quakers' in the Class A-l finals at Eugene last Saturday night. Second place isn't what they wanted but it is still pretty good. The Tornado youths, who'll be back next season, and iheje will be six from this year's varsity squad, three regulars, will be gunning to get back to the tourney and make the third lime a charm. And they'll have the example and success of the Eugene Axemen to encourage them. Eugene won the championship in 1955 after been twice runner-up, in 1953 and 1954. In winning runner-up hon ors in competition with the best learns of the state, the Black Tornado went much farther than many prognosti cates figured al Ihe start of the season. They impToved as the season progressed, always had the old trying spirit and at Ihe end proved Iheir stat ure. Their record of 20 wins while losing only six games is evidence of a successful sea son and a job well done. Eugene-Jefferson contest for fourth in which Ihe Axemen fired .468 and Jeff .424. Medford averaged .368 for the tournament compared to its season mark of .398. Best shooting was .409 against Marshfield. Lowest was .304 against Franklin in the title game. MEDFORD SCORES 258 In scoring in the tournament Madford recorded 258 points to rivals, 232 or a 64.5 point aver age to opponents' 58. The Tor nado had only a scant edge in rebounding, 175 to 172. At the free throw line the Medfordites hit on 74 of 118 chances while foes got 70 in 133 tries. WELL-BALANCED The 1956 A-l basketball tour ney showed indications of being a well-balanced event even be fore it got underway. And it lived up to that billing. Almost everyone of the clubs entered was capable of going all the way with the right breaks. The majority of the games were close and only three or four could actually be termed lopsided. PENDLETON TORRID Pendleton had the hottest streak cf the tournament, re cording a .490 field goaling average in ihe consolation semi-finals against Central Catholic. McLoughlin of Mil-lon-Freewater had the coldest session with only .236 against Pendleton in Ihe fifth place finale. Hottest tussle was Ihe Chene Will Face Von Poppenheim Grants Pass Another great card is in store for the Grants Pass area wrestling fans this Wednesday night when Leapin' Larry Chene, the Pacific coast junior heavyweight champion, goes up against the proud Prus sian, Kurt von Poppenheim. Also Rito Romero, the sensa tional TV star, will return to tangle with Irish Jack O'Reilly. All four men are main eventers anywhere they go and there should be action enough for the most rabid fans on this great card. Last week Larry Chene don ned the eight ounce boxing gloves and scored a knockout over Bull Montana in the fifth round of a scheduled ten round er. Chene was rubber legged a few times himself in the early rounds and made a great come back. Hands Full Larry will have his hands full against' the rough and experi enced von Poppenheim. Kurt has laid claim to the junior heavyweight title that Chene now wears. Rito Romero has two wins and a draw in his three local appearances and made a big hit with the fans. He will meet the arrogant Aussie, O'Reilly, in the one hour prelim and this is a match that is loaded with pure dynamite. O'Reilly will be the toughest opposition that Romero has faced here. Romero is fast and very clever while O'Reilly is tough and experienced. ' SIEGRIST TO COACH - Corvallis (U.R) Ron Siegrist, signal caller for Oregon State's football team last fall, has ac cepted a position as a football coach at Grant Union high school in Sacramento, it was announced yesterday. INDIVIDUAL FIGURES Bob Tisdel, third high among tourney scorers, led Medford with 75 points for four games. Neil Plumley was next high with 45. Dick Cop pie had 40 and Dick Mc Laughlin 36. Copple was the lop rebound man with 45 plucks and McLaughlin had 43. Plumley collected 40. With a .481 average Plumley con tinued as top goal maker in accuracy but he took fewer casts at the hoop than any of the other regulars. The big Tornado center was also most impressive at ihe free line where he had 19 good tosses in 26 tries in the tourney. In contrasting Bjarne Jensen, the 6-9 center of the state cage champion Franklin high Quak ers, with the rest of the squad, we've called the other players little men. But that is mislead ing. Ernie Spargur and Jim Kuhn at 6-2 are not exactly tiny nor are Jack Luhrs or Jerry Jarboe, a pair of 6 feet even boys. QUAKERS' JENSEN BACK If Franklin high makes a successful defense of its stale crown in 1957, no one will be particularly surprised. Of . ihe state tourney squad only Spargur -and Kuhn were sen iors. The rest were juniors. The Quakers will lose a cou ple of good boys in ihe two seniors. But ihey will slill have Bjarne Jensen back along with some other capable players. DEVILS BEAT SAINTS There's a couple, of things that were heard from the A-2 state hoop tourney which we found amusing. Some of the sportswriters took delight in the fact that the Devils beat the Saints. The Coquille Red Devils won over the St. Francis Saints for third place. . The officiating didn't please everybody in the A-2 meet and both sides were not too happy with the calls in the title game between St. Helens and On tario. When a technical foul was called on the Ontario bench, Coach George Keil shouted, "That's the best call you've made all night." KF MATTER JOLTS Like some of ihe oiher sporis.wriiers, we are a ibil peeved at ihe apparent effort of ihe Oregon School Activi ties association to hush the fact that Klamaih Falls was placed on probation. It was information which finally leaked out some lime afler the action was taken. Even after ihe maiter was known, there was delay in official word. The probation resulted from abusive language Donn Tauch er, Klamaih Falls' all-conference player, used against Vir gil Swanson, veteran Medford referee, following a game in ihe Ashland-KF basketball se ries. The player reportedly went to ihe officials' dressing room after ihe game. Action of the OSAA was more a warning to ihe school ihat sus pension could follow if there is any further incident in volving ihe school or an ath lete which is out of line. Taucher was allowed io con tinue with ihe team and played in the state tournament. Top Handlers, Retrievers Vie In AKC Trial Opening on Friday A number of the top amateur and professional handlers and some of the most outstanding dogs in the United States will perform near Medford this week end when the Rogue Valley Re triever club holds its fifth an nual field trial licensed by the American Kennel club.
