Scappoose, the No. 2 team, is at Wy'East and No. 3 Drain entertains Creswell. While the Medford-Klamath Union high basketball encoun ters tonight and Saturday at Klamath Falls have state-wide interest as the result of their position in the polls. The real significance will center in the Southern Oregon conference chase. Medford goes into the series with a full game lead on the ba sis of nine victories to seven by Klamath Falls and the one loss suffered by each in their earlier series with each. Klamath, which has picked up prestige since playing Medford last and which will have the advantage of its home court, gets the role of favorite in the series. The Tornado of Medford can hold its conference command, however, by just another split with the Pelicans. KF Has Height Klamath will hope that its bit of an edge in height will pay off but all week long the Tor nado has been working at means to combat this deficit and get its share of backboard re trieves. Both clubs have picked up in firepower since last meet ing and Klamath Falls has put a fast break to advantage. Medford has shown ability with both a running attack and more set style of play but has met mostly ball control opposi tion since last facing the Pels. Fob Medford tonight coach Frank Roelandt has indicated that he'll call on Neil Plumley, Dick McLaughlin, Dick Copple, Larry Perkins and Dick Puhl as starters. Mentor Don Peterson's more than obvious choices are Bob Niles, Cliff Sutherland, Glenn Moore. Butch Kimpton and Lee McGill. Willamette, Linfield on Road in NW By UNITED PRESS The Northwest conference claims the center of attention in Oregon's small college basket ball wars this week end with the two front runners on tough three-game road trips. Linfield, No. 1 going into its week end schedule, faces Col lege of Idaho at Caldwell to night and Saturday, then moves to Walla Walla for a single go at Whitman Monday. Willam ette, only one game behind Lin field, starts its eastern swing to night against 'Whitman, then swaps opponents with Linfield Monday. Pacific, just a breath back from the leaders, could move to the top of the standings over the week end. The Badgers have a single Saturday night game with Lewis and Clark on their schedule. The Oregon Collegiate confer ence has four clubs in counting action but Oregon Tech, which has already assured itself a share of the loop flag, steps outside counting play. Tech plays St. Martins in a pair of non-conference tilts at Klamath Falls. Southern Ore gon opens a two game stand at Ashland tonight against Portland State and Eastern Oregon stays home to entertain Oregon Col lege in a pair. Major points of contention in the OCC games will be possible berths in the NAIA playoffs. Tech as a junior college is not eligible so the second and third place clubs from the loop will qualify for berths.
