Southern Oregon conference has its fullest counting slate of the season this Friday when Medford goes to Klamath Falls and Grants Pass to Ashland. The visiting teams, playing their sec ond loop and District 6 A-l brushers, are the choices to win. Ashland and Klamath Falls make their conference bows for 1957. In the Rogue league, the southern sector of District 6 A-2, Rogue River travels to Phoenix and Brookings to Hen ley for Friday night scraps. Glendale plays at Henley on Saturday afternoon. Phoenix and Glendale head the chase with three victories each. Crater of the Southern Ore gon circuit and Illinois Valley of the Rogue loop have have a non-counter skirmish at Cave Junction on Friday. Talent at Jacksonville In District 5 B Talent vies at Jacksonville on Friday and St. Mary's at Malin on Saturday. Other week enders in the B league are Bonanza vs. Sacred Heart at Klamath Falls and Chiloquin at Merrill. Malin, Merrill and Talent are unmar red in conference games. Medford's role of favorite against the Pels hinges on the physical status of its squad. Three players who normally see quite a bit of duty missed the Crater game because of illness and several others who played were not up to par physically. The underdog Klamath club will be fired by the desire to keep up its jinx against the Black Tornado. Not since 1945 when the score was 51 to 0 for Medford, has the Tornado de feated the Pelicans on Modoc field in Klamath Falls. Since that time Klamath on its home turf has recorded three wins over Medford, 21 to 6 in 1949, 13 to 12 in 1951 and 26 to 18 in 1953. Two games have been tied, 0 to 0 in 1947 and 13 to 13 in 1955. RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE Army back Robert Anderson (21), on his way to the first touchdown, races between Notre Dame's Richard Royer (84), Robert Scholtz (55) and Allen Ecuyer (60) in the first quarter at Philadelphia. RENEWING RIVALRY AFTER 10 years break, Notre Dame's fullback, Nick Pietrosante, drives across for the first score against Army. He is on top of the pile (with No. 9 of jer sey showing). Notre Dame won the game in an uphill last quarter fight.

School of fice hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. n Tin mil Massachusetts, NBA Open Battle on Fight Racine, Wis. (IB Gilbert Jackson, newly-elected presi dent of the National Boxing as sociation, has asked the Massa chusetts Boxing commission to call off the scheduled fight be tween Tony DeMarco and Vir gil Akins that's being billed as a championship bout. "It's out of order," fired Jackson in a blistering letter to Harry Lamar Monday that lab eled as "ridiculous" Lamar's contention that the Oct. 29 fight will be for the vacated welter weight title. "This is an utter, absolute vio lation of NBA rules," said Jack son, "and it, appears to me to be strictly a local promotion to shoo-in DeMarco as champion." The fight is scheduled for Bos ton, DeMarco's home town. Jackson said the NBA Execu tive committee, including Mas sachusetts, agreed in September to "sponsor" an elimination tour ney among the four top conten ders in the welterweight division if champion Carmen Basilio de feated Ray Robinson to become the middleweight titleholder.
