Hard at Work

Spring training won't start of

but the "advance guard" of the
diamond horde already is hard
at work.

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.

day Festival tournament, Christ
mas week, pushed its record to
11-5 with an easy 93-78 victory
over New York U. as Angelo
Lombardo led the way with 34
points. Danny Knapp scored 27
in a vain effort for the Violets.
St. John's moved its record to
12-6 with a 71-67 conquest of
Niagara.
