January 25, 19S7 Tornado Takes on Ashland Here This Evening, On Grizzly Floor Saturday; GP at Klamath Falls Medford high's Black Tornado seeks to hold to at least a tie in the Southern Oregon confer ence basketball standings, tussling Ashland tonight and Saturday while the other co leaders of the circuit, Klamath Falls and Grants Pass, knock heads in another series. Ashland and the Tornado col lide at Hedrick gym here this evening and at Ashland tomor row. Varsiiy frays will be at 8:15 p m. on both occasions with junior varsity tip-off times around 6:30 p.m. Grants Pass will be at Klamath for the other conference contention. While Medford and Klamath are the favorites in the loop and while the Pelicans beat Ashland twice after splitting with the Black Tornado, no easy series is being anticipated by Medford's defending champions. The Tor nado "has a job cut out for it- MEDF0fUVi5TRIBUNE Oregon Opposes WSC; OSC, Washington Mix By NEAL CORBETT United Press Sports Writer The Stanford Indians may not be the big winners on the Paci fic Coast conference basketball scene this season, but they're certainly spoilers and they'll be gunning for another "un beaten" team tonight when they meet OJjfornia. The Redmen weren't able to handle the Bears in an earlier encounter, but they tagged hope ful Oregon State with its first loss and then chopped Washing ton's unbeaten string of four games. Washington bounced back to defeat the Indians and will be out to extend its new streak , against Oregon State tonight and Saturday. Washington State and Oregon will meet in a pair, while UCLA, Southern California and Idaho are idle. Stanford, which plays Santa Clara Saturday night, figures it might have what it takes to end Cal's unbeaten record of five victories. The Indians will be playing on their own court and ' they have Carl Isaacs, who was working out the football kinks when the two teams met last time. Might Be Enough Isaacs played a big part in . Stanford's split with Washing Ion last week, and Coach Howie Dallmar believes he may give the Indians just enough, Jiejp to get by Cal's potent deftpe. The officials will have to wear elevator shoes to keep a . close watch on the Washington Oregon State series. The Husky attack is built round Bruno Boin (8-10) and Doug Smart (8-7), while Oregon State relies on Gary Goble (6-8) and Dave Gambee (6-7) while Ralph Carroll (6-8) and Wayne Moss (6-8) are around if needed. The Washington State-Oregon jeries will be played in the shad ows of the conference dungeon. The Cougars could turn over the shackles to Oregon by defeat ing the Ducks tonight but they would have to do it again Satur day night to keep them there. How They Stand ' The present PCC standings are: California 5-0, UCLA 4-0, Washington 5-1, Oregon State 2-2, Stanford 2-3. USC 1-3. Idaho 2-6. and Washington State 1-5.

Frank Roelandt, the Med ford mentor, declared this morn ing.

The tutor looked for both sides to be fired up for the fray, the Grizzlies having new hope with their .new system and the Tor nado striving to protect its con ference and district laurels. Ashland Ball Control The Ashlanders under coach Earl Iba will match a set 'em up, ball control style of offense against a rugged Medford gang which-likes to drive but is adapt able, also to more deliberate ac tion. Medford will be trying for backboard rebounding advantage to give the Ashlanders less op portunity to control the ball. The Tornado has some height edge that it aims to capitalize upon. Roelandt indicated that he would have Dick Copple, Dick McLaughlin, Neil Plumley and Tom Hamlin as starters this eve ning with either Dick Puhl or CiMT .ill Ill .1 I TORNADO HOOPMAN Tom Hamlin, above, 6-foot junior, is one of the six Medford high players who have seen most service in tussfes played so far this season by the Black Tor nado.
