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.

fvacuum lleaners at
MIT CJ
nil juive nuuicin
Boston (ID Scientists used
a couple of industrial vacuum
cleaners to solve a problem at
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. 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. St. Mary's will go to
A-2 Illinois Valley on Friday and
will be host in Medford on Satur
day to St. Francis of Eugene.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Trojans Need
Twogood has a nice leavening
of returnees to mix with the
sophomores and at least one,
Jih Pugh, has cinched a starting
role. 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.
