Plumley will see as much action as possible., Roelandt re ported.. A squad of 12 players is mak ing the trip and Roelandt' indi cated that he will work as many hoopmen as he can into the week' end series. Among those who may have considerable sery: ice; along with Plumley, are Jay Hornets Top Eagle Point Last season the Hedrick Jun ior High school eighth grade basketball -club had a great year, losing only one of Hs 12 games. Last night as ninth graders, the cage, crew got off to an impres sive start. The Hornets whipped Eagle Point '73 to 27 at Eagle Point. A'28-ppint third period was the scoring feature of the night. Hedrick was in front 20 to 3, 40 to .10 and 68 to 19 at the in termissions. A number of the non-sfarters for the Hornets saw more duty than the opening unit. Jerry An derson was top scorer with 16 points and Gary McGill and Dar- rell Miller each totalled 12. LIVE-IPS: Htdrlrk 79 .

Crater High, Oakridge Vie In CP Series Central Point Crater high begins its regular 1956-1957 basketball slate this evening by entertaining Oakridge and will gun for its first victory in four seasons of contention with the Warriors. Game, time is 8:15 p.m. The two aggregations, vying in a two game series, meet here again at 8:15 p.m. on Saturday. Coach Jim Nau has listed a tentative Comet starting line-up of Randy Campbell and Fred Herrmann, forwards, Craig Cochran, center, and Jerry Kime and George Juveland, guards. Herrmann and Juveland are lettermen.. Dick. Davis, John Greb and Larry Smith are others expect ed to see duty. Wayne Allen missed practices Monday, Tues day, and Wednesday because of flu and Nau said it was doubtful he would play. ' Oakridge has one game behind it, having blasted' Pleasant Hill 71 to 46 on Tuesday. Dave Kozer and Rusty Snyder each put in 15 points for the Warriors. John son Schmidt and Johes, Who got 13 points, are .other possible starters. Preliminaries are set for fi:45 p.m. for both games. St. .Mary's and Crater junior, varsities will collide in. this evening's opener and Jacksonville varsity will meet the. Cornet jayvees on Sat urday. . Ratterman Out Rest of Season . Cleveland, Ohio. (ll.R) Quar terback George Ratterman, out of action with knee and ankle injuries, will not be able to play with the Cleveland. Browns for the remainder of the National Football league season. An ex amination of his injuries by team physician Dr. Vic Ippolito . re vealed that Ratterman would not be- able to see action in the club's final game Dec. 16 as had been hoped. Sales Service Parts Please bear with us for' a while. This business of swinging from 'he football season to bas ketb;H is hectic this year. Sup pose everything will be on an. even keel in a week or two. Ordinarily, this department gets sort of a breather in late November and the entry into the basketball season is rather rou tine: Not so this time. We can blame it on the late finishes of the Medford and Eagle Point High school football clubs and their participation in A-l and A-2 class eliminations.' But don't get the idea this a complaint. The oniy way differ ent we'd had it would have been for the Black Tornado and Eagles to cop the state championships in their respective categories. Just the same we're still struggling. BITTEREST FCR PLAVERS Suppose the Tornado's rough and disastrous calming at the hands of Marshfield's superb football Pirates should be re . garded by Medfordites as wa ter over the dam or . under the bridge." Still there's the feeling of disappointment. Fans, before they sound off, however, should take into con sideration the even greater disappointment of the players and the bitter pill they have, hadp swallow. They and the coacajps are the ones who really suffer. The one-sided score is some thing Medford will have to live with. Certainly, the Tornado performance was below the best it's shown. But nothing should be taken away from that Marshfield club which is being described as that school's, finest. The gray horde in last Friday's championship finale was close to invincible. We doubt that any prep club in a good many of these United States could have stopped the Pirates that night. The profes sional, machine-like way the Buccaneers turned tack the Tornado defense was the sharp est prep performance we've seen. SHOULDN'T SPOIL SEASON Nov. 30 at Multnomah stadium was a stunning, sobering experi ence for Medfordites. We don't say, "Forget it." But we do be lieve that one defeat should not spoil the season. After the Black Tornado went through a slate of 11 smight games without a loss. Season standing was 10 victories, 1 loss, 1 tie. Not since the cham pionship year of 1944 (10-0-0). and the semi-final year .of 1945 (9-1-0) has a Medford grid club had so good a record. This was Medford's first final ist club since 1944 and marked the first march past quarter finals since 1948. Tornado dis trict and conference record for 1956 was its most impressive of three successive years. In the light of the early season Medford - Marshfield 20 - all tie,' the championship .game's out come came hard but it still should not dim the achievements .of the season, climaxing a year in which the Tornado made it self known with an A-l cham pionship in track and runner-up spots in basketball and baseball, as well as football. EAGLES PRAISED Eagle Point high, which reached the A-2 gridiron finals describe, a thin squad and the bugaboo .of physical ailments, has received praise which is worth more than a champion Make 7fxi ll for a beautiful " ' love the covers you'll like the prices!

Ccach Stan Smith re ceived this letter from Harry Vetter, Silver Fox supporter, .following the Eagles' semi finale with SilvertOn: "I wish to take this opportuni ty to congratulate you and your boys for the wonderful sports manship shown during the semi final game with us in Salem . . . "I heard several of our boys say they had never met a team that plaved'so clean and fair and he wonderful demonstration on the field at the end of the game actually brought tears of admira tion in the eyes of marry spec tators. ' "That kind of Christian sports manship among .young men is worth more than winning all the football games in America'. "What we need is more coaches lo make more American citizens like your boys." The Eagles, who went through a 10-1-1 campaign, can take tremendous pride in that missive. It's well worth fram ing in the trophy case. That Reedsport nosed Silver ton by just 7 to 6 for the cham- pionship speaks well for Eagle Point caliber in A-2 football. Silverton topped the Eagles -. 14 lo 0 but the gamp was much closer than the final tabulation indicated. Some sources are now rating the Eagles.' mentored on the hoop court by Art Thompson, as the top A-2 contender in basketball. NEIGHBORS HELP . Last Friday was spoiled for this writer and his family long before arrival at the A-l title game. We can testify first hand to the hazards of driving in fog. In fact we didn't go farther north than Central Point in our own car. If it hadn't been for neigh bors and good Samaritans David and Barbara Ives who came, to the rescue arid hauled us as far as Salem, we'd joined the thou sands hearing the game by radio instead of seeing it first hand.- BAND BATTLE WON. Comment by a Medford fan at the championship football game on seeing the Tornado and Pirate marching bands perform at halftime: "Well there is one battle Medford is winning." TOUGH HOOP SLATE Medford high, with its concen tration on football, did not enter the Southern Oregon conference basketball jamboree last Satur day night at Centrai Point, but coach Frank Roelandt of the 1956 league hoop champion Tor nado was back from Portland in time to have, the role of ob server. It's Roelandt' s. opinion that the Tornado ' could have a :rugged time in its conference defense in 1957. "The league should be aw fully tough," he said. "There was Statistics Favor.

DELIBERATE GRIZZLY TEAM Southern Oregon conference basketball fans can expect to see-Ashland using a deliberate' style this fall. Coach Earl Iba said that his Griulies will' at tempt to set up patterns and will use man to man defense -when they can. Commenting on his club's three-point nod over Talent on Tuesday night, Iba indicated that with his club's style of play Grizzly vic tories may not be by large margins.
