Crater Host To Klamath For Week End Hoop Frays Central Point Crater high's Comets are trying to set up a defense "which we hope will make Klamath Falls think, any way." That was the report from Coach Jim Nau this morning. The Comets will be hosts Fri day and Saturday to the Klam ath Pelicans, co-leader in the Southern Oregon conference and No. 2 ranked among A-l basket ball teams in Oregon. Occupant of the loop cellar and wanting d-sperately to get out, Crater faces a big task against the Pels who last week appeared to have swung into SPORTS Rogue River Fishing Good Portland (U.R) The weekly report on fishing conditions by the Oregon State Game commis sion today said most streams were too cold and low for good steelheading. The report: Southwest: All middle Ump qua streams are low, cold and clear; ice has formed on banks; occasional steelhead taken from deep eddies; Coquille river should be fair to good; good fish ing reported from the Rogue, Applegate and Illinois rivers. Rupp's 'Cats Rap Georgia Quint 84-53 'Br JOHN GRIFFIN United Prats Sports Wriier For the 12th time in the last 14 years it seems that the South eastern conference basketball crown may turn out to be a Ken tucky "derby." Baron Adolph Rupp's Wild cats from the blue grass had to settle for second place a year ago in the SEC, but Wednesday night they went out front by a half-length in this year's race with a 84-53 triumph over Georgia. Georgia was simply no match for Kentucky, falling behind 45 28 at halftime and struggling against the reserves throughout the second half. Sophomore Johnny Cox led Kentucky scorers with 22 pionts as the Wildcats, ranked the na tion's No. 3 team by the United Press Board of Coaches, gained their 14th victory in 17 starts. North Carolina, the nation's No. 1 team, also saw action Wednesday night but only in a "tune-up" 77-59 romp over lit tle Western Carolina to extend its perfect record to 16-0. Len nie Rosenbluth paced the Tar Heels with 24 points. Otherwise, the spot Light Wednesday night was on free throw shooting as Dave Ricketts of Duquesne established a new full gear. Aim of the Comets likely will be to halt Butch Kimpton and Glenn Moore, big offensive guns so far this season for KF. At the same time the Comets will have to have eyes on little Lee McGill, who had his best night of the season last week end against Ashland and has looked good in practices this week. Also Bob Niles, as a scorer and rebounder, and Cliff Sutherland, as a backboard man, appear to have come to their own. Tongue In Cheek The foregoing five are the probable Pelican starters. Some one said this week that KF coach Don Peterson has said he is still looking for a winning combina tion. If so, the remark was doubtless made with tongue in cheek. While concentrating on means to stop Klamath, Nau's Comets have not neglected offense and are trying to improve their at tack as they come along. Nau said posible starters Fri day are Dick Davis and John Greb, forwards, Randy Camp bell, center, and Joe Teeter and Wayne Allen, guards. He indi cated that Crater substitutions will be made individually rather than by platoon which were used against Grants Pass. Crater had a bye last week end and rests the first three days of the week were followed by two days of light work. Drill has been heavy this week. Goyette Recovers Nau reported that Don Goy ette, who suffered a hip bruise against Ashland three weeks ago, is now back in form. Only common foes for the Pels and Crater have been in the conference. Klamath has beaten Ashland and Grants Pass each twice and has split with Med ford. The Comets have lost two game series to each of the three. Klamath goes into the two games at CP with a 10-2 record with both setbacks by only two points. Crater is 4-8 for the year. Kimpton has rolled up 223 points for KF this season and Moore 168. Varsity games here will be at 8:15 p.m. after 6:45 p.m. jayvee scuffles. major college record of 40 straight. The mark will be threatened tonight when Jackie Murdock of Wake Forest, who has canned 37 in a row, goes out against Virginia. Ricketts, brother of former Duquesne All-American Dick Ricketts, hit 10-for-10 on free throws Wednesday night in a 71-67 victory over St. Francis of Brooklyn and so his streak is still "alive" for possible addi tions when Duquesne plays again next Monday against Niagara. Ricketts, who had 28 points to take scoring honors for the game, thus passed the old major college mark of 38 straight free throws set earlier this season by Chet (The Jet) Forte of Columbia.

Clay Stapleton, first assistant to Tommy Prothro at Oregon State, said he had not made any application for the job at Wyom ing and was "sure" he would be back with the Beavers next year. Jack Roche, an assistant at Oregon, said he had received a routine query from the Univer sity of Arizona and wasn't hope ful of being selected for the head coaching vacancy there. Ken Lane Stops Ryff in Sixth Norfolk, Va. U.R) Light weight contender Kenny Lane, jubilant over his impressive second victory against Frankie Ryff in their return TV bout, offered 875,000 today for a shot at the title. With his sixth-round TKO over Ryff providing his 11th straight win, the brown-haired southpaw from Muskegon, Mich., offered 575,000 for a de fense by the victor in next month's Joey Brown-Bud Smith title fight at Miami Beach. It was a logical offer because of Lane's number two ranking and because of the vast improve ment he displayed against the blond New Yorker before 3,610 in Municipal arena. Ryff, weighing 139 pounds to Kenny's 139'4, was slashed so bloodily on the left brow that Referee Paddy Mills stopped the bout at 52 seconds of the sixth session. In their previous bout, Nov. 14 at Miami, Lane won a unanimous decision. Montreal (U.R) Right wing Glen Cressman, called up from the Montreal Royals Wednes day, will be in the lineup for the Montreal Canadiens tonight when they tangle with the De troit Red Wings at the Forum. Cressman will see service on the Jean Beliveau-Bert Olmstead line, replacing the injured Bernie Geoffrion. Naulls Sparks Knickerbockers By UNITED PRESS Rookie Willie Naulls, the New York Knickerbockers' new "bread and butter" player, is earning his keep in the National Basketball association, and bet ter still he's making contenders out of the Knicks in the Eastern division. Naulls, who came to New York last month In exchange for Slater Martin, connected for baskets and three free throws in the third period Wednesday night to give the Knicks a lead they never relinquished in beat ing the Rochester Royals, 92-80. The victory enabled New York to open up a Vi game second-place lead over the Phila delphia Warriors and also cut the Boston Celtics' first-place lead to 6V4 games. Boston's win ning streak was halted at eight when the Syracuse Nationals spurted in the final period to gain a 119-116 victory. West Palm Beach, Fla. (U.R) Doubles' competition in the South Florida tennis tournament began today but the biggest buzz here was all about young, un heralded Jerry Moss' upset of Australian star Mervyn Rose in the singles. Moss, a student at the University of Miami, de feated the far more experienced Rose, 6-4, 6-2, Wednesday mark ing the Aussie's first setback on his U. S. tour. Thursday, January 31. 19S7 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVElf Venturi Bows Out at Phoenix Phoenix; Ariz. qj.R) The $15,000 Phoenix Open started today but their newest and most persistent challenger was laid up with a painful arm injury. Ken Venturi, the young San Franciscan who gave the pros fits as an amateur In the Mas ters Tournament last year, and turned professional two months ago, withdrew from the tourna ment because of strained liga ments' in his left arm. He had just shot a two-under-par 68 to tie for runnerup hon ors In Wednesday's pro-amateur event, - when he complained of sharp pains in his left arm and wrist. His partner in the pro am, Dr. E. Paynt Palmer Jr., of Phoenix, advisud Venturi to withdraw. George Bayer, Los Angeles, the longest hitter in golf, had a 66 and teamed with Dizzy Dean to win the pro-am title with a best-ball score of 60. GRID CO-CAPTAINS Charleston, S. C. (U.R) Full back Ed Dzanis of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and guard Connie Tuza of Berwick, Pa., a pair of rising seniors, have been voted co-captains of the Citadel's 1957 foot ball team.
