0 Butte Falls, Talent Take Jackson B League Openers Defending champion Butte Falls got off on the correct foot in Jackson County B league basketball last night by whip ping Jacksonville 40 to 27. Talent grabbed the other league opener. The Bulldogs, who won the 1957 county tourney but lost to Butte Falls in the sub-district play-off. turned back Prospect last night 45 to 34. At Eutte Falls the Loggers had only a 7 to 5 advantage after one quarter but pushed to 21 to 9 at halftime and upped the lead to 31 to 16 at the three-fourths mark. Jim Irwin headed scor ing for Butte Falls with 19 points. Jacksonville didn't get good shots in the first half and couldn't make the buckets when it got good second half opportunities. Butte Falls also experienced some second half misfiring to even the ruckus. The Loggers lost Mike Conley on fouls early in the fourth quarter.' Only One Point A rough second quarter was damaging to the Prospect cause. Talent was in front 16 to 10 after one period. In the second session the Bulldogs picked up 11 points while Prospect col lected only one. Halftime score was 27 to 11 and after three panels it was 36 to 19. The Cougars suffered from failure to take advantage of opportunities. Heard and Mel Gingrich of Talent fouled out and Baer and Combs each had four infractions at the finish. Three Bulldogs scored in double figures, Jerry Baer got 12, Buz Heard 11 and Phil Combs 10. Talent won the junior varsity game 43 to 27.

The cleaners, usually used around filling stations, hospitals and offices, were brought into use to solve an electronic jig puzzle that arose during work with electronic brains, also call ed digital computers. The computer uses about 4,000 tiny ferrite rings, each of which is fitted into small holes and aligned. The assembly had to be made on a plane about a half foot square. The problem: To find a speedier way to get the rings into the holes. Scientists hooked two vacuum cleaners to a section of stove pipe atop which was built a frame to hold the plane in place. After the suction was turn ed on the rings were snagged into place. The whole operation reduced assembly time from two weeks to 16 minutes. Total crop production in 1957 appears likely to fall about seven per cent under last ear's league fray. Jacksonville has a tiff at Class A-2 Eagle Point and Butte Falls meets the Eagles on Saturday.

Coach Seeks Working Unit For Tornado Coach Frank Roelandt is seeking to mold into shape a "working unit" this week as the Medford high basketball squad prepared for a season op ening jaunt to the Oregon coast. The Black Tornado encount ers Marshf ield at Coos Bay ' on Friday and meets North Bend at North Bend on Saturday eve ning. Currently drilling in the No. 1 Tornado unit are Lowell Dean, and Tom Hamlin, each 6-2, Jer ry Anderson, 6-1, Bilbee Lane, 5-9t and Don Peek, 5-10. Dean and Anderson are sophomores, Peek a junior and Hamlin and Lane seniors. Ron Perry Bids Ron Peery, 5-10, is a conten der for the unit and Larry Brown, 6-1, and Frank Albert, 6-4, loom as first line reserves. The latter two are being pushed by Jim Funston, 6-foot football all-stater. All four are seniors. Don Bowling, another senior and top candidate for starting position, is out of action because of an ankle sprain and may not be available until the first of the year. Roelandt said that 12 or 13 players will make the coast trip. He has been working the club hard on defense this week and said that it will take the actual contention in games to see more fully just where the emphasis in practices must be.

Durelle Picked To Trim Luedee Tampa, Fla. (IP) Yvon Du relle and Jerry Luedee, two ag gressive light heavyweight slug gers, will clash tonight at- the Fort Hesterly Armory in Tam pa's first nationally-televised fight. Durelle, champion of Canada and No. 3 contender for the world 175-pound crown, is fav ored at 12-5 to beat unranked but dangerous Luedee of New Haven, Conn., in their 10-round- er. Personality Changes With Heart Condition Philadelphia OP) A person with a heart condition may be in more danger from his per sonality than from his arteries. A recent survey by a cardiac work classification unit of the Heart Association of Southeast ern Pennsylvania showed a "definite personality pattern in heart patients." Dr. David Gelfand, head of the unit, said that "young peo ple suffering high blood pressure or coronary artery disease, in fact most patients under 50, have passive, dependent natures and are unable to express aggressions (normal combative reactions)." "Knowledge that they have heart disease may effect them in one of two ways," Dr. Gelf and continued. "There is the openly depend ent type who, after he gets a heart condition, uses it to side step responsibility. And there's the ambitious, determined fel low who covers up his passivity and ignores symptoms of the disease that stand in the way of economic achievement. "Both may be in greater mor tal danger from their personal ities than from their coronary arteries," he concluded. SPORTS Forty-Miners Favored To Nab Division New York OP) If the odds makers are right, the San Fran cisco 49ers will win the Nation al Football league's Western Di vision title Sunday and meet the Cleveland Browns for the cham pionship Dec. 29. The 49ers, Detroit Lions and Baltimore Colts are tied for first with only one game to play. Of the three leaders, only the 49ers are favored Sunday. San Francisco entertains the crippled Green Bay Packers and is a 14V point choice to win before a capacity crowd of near ly 60,000. Detroit plays the Bears at Chi cago and is a 2Vz point under dog. Bobby Layne, Detroit's vet eran quarterback, suffered a broken ankle bone in last Sun day's game with Cleveland and won't play. Baltimore is a four-point un derdog against the Rams at Los Angeles. The Colts have won only one of 11 games they have played on the West Coast. The Browns, who won the Eastern title last Saturday when the Pittsburgh Steelers upset the New York Giants, are four-point underdogs against the Giants at Yankee Stadium. The Eagles are one-point choices to beat the Chicago Card inals in a Saturday afternoon game at Philadelphia. In the other Sunday game, the Redskins are favored over the Steelers by seven points at Wash ington. Knickerbockers Nudge Celtics By UNITED PRESS It's no secret that Richie Gue rin hates the Boston" Celtics. The New York Knickerbock ers' scrappy guard broke his right thumb in a fist fight with the Celtics' Bill Sharman in a pre-season exhibited game and was sidelined for six weeks. Guerin had been aching for revenge ever since and Tuesday night he got it, scoring 28 points in leading the Knicks to a 106- 10 victory over the Celtics in the feature game of a National Basketball Association twinbill at Madison Square Garden. Bob Pettit tallied only two field goals in the second half but still wound up with 31 points in pacing the St. Louis Hawks to a 102-90 triumph over the Cincin nati Royals in the New York opener. The Syracuse Nationals rolled to a 114-104 victory over the Minneapolis Lakers and the Phil adelphia Warriors downed the Detroit Pistons, 100-97, in another double-header at Detroit. Lincoln Beats Stevens in Bout Portland (IP) Chuck Lincoln, 167, Portland, took an eight round decision from Willie Ste vens, Reno, in a locally-televised bout Tuesday night. Howard Meredith, Albany, de cisioned Ron Milnie, Seattle, in 6; Roy Hoskins, 157, Albany, TKO'd Bob Milne, 155, Seattle, in 3; Willie Richardson, 195, Portland, .knocked out Claude Renfro, 204, Seattle, in 2, and Floyd Palmer, 175, Portland, TKO'd Bob Peacock, 170, Port land, in 4. ROSI, BUSSO MATCHED New York HP) Lightweight contenders Paolo Rosi and Johnny Busso have been match ed for a 10-round TV bout at Madison Square garden, Jan. 3. This fight already has been post poned four times because of in juries and ailments to both. BALLOTS MAILED Palo Alto, Calif. (IP) Some 400 sportswriters, broadcasters and coaches have been mailed ballots that will determine which of the West Coast's out standing football players will receive the ninth annual Pop Warner Memorial award. HFC will make 6,400 loans today! OUSEHOLD FINANCE 128 E. Main PHONE: ? '.--V, ' ( WINNING TOP AWARD, John Crow, Texas A&M halfback-fullback, is voted twenty-third annual Heisman Memorial Trophy. During 1957 season Crow carried ball 129 times for 562 net yards rushing. Balloting was by 1,267 sportswriters and sportcaster3. (International) Gonzales, Hanna Could Be Combination (Following is another in a series of prospects for West Coast basketball teams.) Los Angeles (IP) A Mutt and Jeff team of a tried veteran and a promising sophomore might prove the combination that could make the USC Trojans the sur prise of the 1957-58 Pacific Coast conference basketball chase. The seasoned holdover is "lit tle" 5-10 Monte Gonzales, the "go, go" guy of the Trojans. The big one is 6-7 Jim Hanna, the first timber topper of real abil ity Coach Forrest Twogood has corraled in recent .years. Between them they could prove the spark to lift the Tro jans from a "so-so" club to the club's top spoiler. There are few, even among the most fanatical Trojan followers, who look for a PCC title contender. However, all who saw USC in its season openers against St. Mary's and Oklahoma last week came away convinced that the Trojans can finish well up in the final 1958 standings. This was to have been the year of building by Coach For rest Twogood. He purposely kept nine of last year's outstanding Trobabe team on his varsity ros ter, with several of the sopho mores vying for starting spots. Format Revised However, the ease with which USC handled St. Mary's, coupled with the last-second loss to a good Oklahoma team, revised the Trojan 1957-58 format. Instead of just building, they also are out to finish as high up the final standings as they can. Frosh Capture Fourth in Row Eugene (IP) The Oregon Frosh won their fourth straight basketball game Tuesday night by handing Hennen & Vos, a lo cal AAU team, a 70-47 defeat. Portable Lighting System Is Developed Fort Collins, Colo. HP) Forney Industries, established here a little more than a year ago, has developed a new port able lighting system that it hopes will become the workhorse of the film industry. Cinetron III, the name given the system, is capable of intensi fying an electric intake of 6,000 watts into 40,000 watts outpul for floodlights of the type used in color motion picture photo graphy, company engineers say. ' C. M. Howe, who heads the new Cinetron division of Forney said the unit will be particularly valuable for remote location work where light must be pro duced with a minimum of equip ment. The unit is compact. It is only about the size of a table model TV set, and is similar in engin eering and appearance to weld ing outfits manufactured by Forney.

Other top veterans include Phil Dye and Jack Mount, along with ex-Fullerton Junior College star Jerry Pimm. Pimm was recruiting "plum" which the Trojans secured. Other sophomores, off the Tro jan frosh club which won 14 or 15 games last year, include John Werhas, Bill Bloom, Mike Fryer and Steve Kemp. However, at this stage of the young season Pimm and Dye apparently seem to have the inside track to the other starting berths But the long and short of the Trojan attack, Messrs. Gonzales and Hanna, are the two men the opponents must stifle to stem the Trojan hopes - and Twogood must keep them healthy to prove the club a contender. ...for Wednesday.
