1 o o o o c o O North iend Subdues Tornadoes 68-64 'O "If we improve on our mis takes, we're going to be tough." Thafs how Head Coach Frank Roelandt summed up the week end contention of the Medford high basketball team on the southwestern Oregon coast. Medford was tripped, in both its encounters, 68 to 64 by Xorth Bend Saturday and 51 to 50 by Marshfield on Friday. But the mentor felt that the Black Tor nado really put out, did a fine job and had a real good series better than expected despite cojtng out on the short end of the final score. Saturday's loss to North Bend was attributed to defensive mis takes and inexperience and Fri day's to shooting deficiencies. The Tornado starting line-up in cluded sophomores Lowell Dean and Jerry Anderson, junior Don Peek and seniors Bilbee Lane andTom Hamlin. Roelandt com mented that the young players really id an exceptional job, considering their lack of exper ience. O Rai Baula Mrlford gave both Marshfield ant North Bend real battles. In th. Saturday fuss they vere knotted with the more seasoned Bulldogs three times in the first quarter and twice in the third period. They tied the score at 57-all before North Bend finally O went on top to stay. After get ting an 8 to 6 margin in the first panel North Bend never fell behind. Lone Medford lead was at 5 to 4. Bulldog spreads at the period pauses were 20 to 13, 30 to 26 and 50 to 45. Lane, a reserve last season, was high point man of the eve ning with 22. Hamlin, the Tor- ) nado's only returning regular. was next for his club with Tof the Bulldogs, Tom Younker baf 18, Arlin Akins 16 and Norm Lillebo 15. Shooting 24 for 57 for .421 the Tornado nipped the Bulldogs in fieltf buckets. North Bend made 23. But the home club got 22 tree shots to Medford's 16. Re bounding was almost even with Medford collecting 23 and North Bend 22. Roelandt said he was "real pleased with our club," its spirit and the individual performances, Hagan Roils Up 40 for Hawks BY UNITED PRESS Stopping the St. Louis Hawks isn't simply a matter of stopping .

And coach Frankie Albert of the San Francisco Forty Niners announced today he would "string along" with a couple of the older guys in the game when his club tangles with the Detroit Lions next Sunday in the play off for the Western Division championship. Sunday, Albert and nearly 60,000 rain-drenched fans who jammed Kezar stadium watched a trio of old timers Y. A. Tittle, Joe Perry, and Gordy Soltau combine to bring vic tory from defeat as the Forty Niners stormed from a 20-10 halftime deficit to whip the Green Bay Packers, 27-20. Day of Decision It was a "day of decision" for Albert when he had to pull rookie quarterback John Brodie out of the game at the end of the half. So the old pros took over, and here's what they did: Perry, who scored the tying and winning touchdowns, set a new Forty Niner record by carrying the ball 27 times in one game. He picked up a net of 130 yards to bring his all-time National League rushing record to 5,860 yards just 7 shy of Steven Van Buren's record. Soltau kicked field goals from 32 and 35 yards out and connected on all three conver sions to provide the victory margin. Tittle hobbled into the game at the start of the third quarter to rally the forces of the Forty Niners and within 16 minutes they scored 17 points under his direction. "We plan to start Tittle against Detroit," said Albert. "But I also expect to use Brodie some. He learned a lot against Green Bay." 'Fast' Reactor Interest Reaffirmed Chicago OP! The director of the reactor development divis ion of the Atomic Energy Com mission has reaffirmed govern ment interest in the development of "fast reactors" as opposed to "water reactors." Fast reactors are those cap able of nuclear breeding, or of making maximum use of the energy stored in uranium. In a report to the fast reactor information meeting, W. Ken neth Davis, director of reactor development, said the govern ment would continue to experi ment with fast, or advanced re actor types. Davis said that at present "water reactors," which develop nuclear power, offer the most prospect of becoming commer cially useful in domestic and for eign fields. But he said fast re actors have greater long-term economic potential than do water reactors. The government has several active participants in the fast re actor program, Davis said. The Power Reactor Development Company has made real progress on the design and construction of the Enrico Fermi Nuclear power plant, he reported, and the Los Alamos Scientific Labor atory is continuing work on molt en plutonium reactors. A portion of the Nevada test site has been set aside for fast reactor transient studies, and more recently the Mound Labor atory under the Monsanto Chem ical Comnanv has been brought into the fast reactor program, he added. mm Court & McAndrews ISPORTSJ il II Texas A-M To Talk to Red Sanders College Station, Tex. CP Texas A&M officials said Sun day night they will interview Henry (Red) Sanders, UCLA head football coach, Wednes day as a possible successor to 'Paul (Bear) Bryant. Dr. Chris Groneman, chair man of the Texas A&M Athlet ic council, said Sanders and one or two widely-known head coaches from southern colleges or universities are in conten tion for the A&M football job. He would not give the names of the other coaches. The Aggie officials emphati cally denied, however, that they offered Sanders inducements to taling more than $35,000 to take the job. The Los Angeles Times report ed that Texas A&M offered San ders a $15,000 salary, a $5,000 expense account, a $10,000 as surance from two television shows and stock in an oil cor poration. The report also said he would receive a new station wagon every year, an air- conditioned, rent-free home and all his gro ceries.

NEW YORK STRAIGHT Red Raiders Squelch Linfield Five 73-63 Ashland Southern Oregon college built up an 18 point padding in the early minutes of the second half and withstood Wildcat comeback efforts over the rest of the distance here on Saturday night to even its week end series with the Linfiled col lege basketball team. Final score was 73 to 63. The Wildcats had won on Friday by 78 to 66. An offensive spurred by Bill Hollingsworth's 31 counters, tough defensive play which held in check the Linfield scoring aces, spirited ballhawking and a slim edge in scrapping under the backboards were ingredients in the victory. The Red Raiders of the Rogue also put to good use their more frequent appear ance at the free-throw line. Hollingsworth Sparks The drive-in ability of Hol lingsworth sparked the Raiders in their early second half spurt. He boomed in for four buckets, Norm Oliva hit a jumper and pusher from the foul circle, Jim McAbee canned a rolling driv er and Ron Maurer scored on a Jacksonville Evens Score Jacksonville The Jackson ville high Redskins, who had lost a close hoop decision to Illinois Valley the previous week, turned the tables com pletely Saturday evening by trouncing the Cougars of Cave Junction 65 to 44. A defense which kept IV from getting good shots, backboard re bounding led by Marion Dowell's 29 retrieves and a big night at the free toss line were instru ments of the basketball victory. Jacksonville put in 31 of 51 free chance tries for better than 60 per cent gunning and hit 36 per cent from the field. It was the top game of four played this season by the Redskins of Coach Bill Seymour. Starters played only five minutes of the last quarter.

STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY rebounder as the SOC combine made shambles of the Wildcat defense in the first 4Vz minutes of the half. Recording the 16 points and holding the 'Cats to four with rugged hawking that broke up rival attack and generated its own, Southern Ore gon built the count to 53 to 35.- That wide gap proved to be a necessity, for the visitors got their machine back in order and in the next nine minutes whit tled their deficit to eight points at 59 to 51. Linfield outfired Southern Oregon 16 to six in this span with Gene Carlson get ting seven of the tallies. The 'Cats got no closer, how ever, and the SOC advantage swayed between eight and 12 points the rest of the way. McAbee Provides Lead First half play was marked by a number of deadlocks and lead switches before the Raiders went on top for keeps. Linfield held its last lead in the fracas at 25 to 23 when Terry Woods sank a long one-hander with six minutes to go. Hollingsworth put in two free shots to knot the score with 534 to play and McAbee placed his" Raider crew in front with a long jump at 27 to 25. Hollingsworth next picked up three field buckets, Dave D'Ol ivio tabulated off an out-of-bounds play and McAbee and Hollingsworth hit from the gift line as the home five upped to 37 to 31 at the midway rest. Sam Stewart had fieldered twice and Jack Riley once in the mean time. Linfield's Jack Riley and Bill Machamer piled up 50 points between them on Friday. In the Saturday fray the Raiders limit ed Riley to 13 and Machamer to seven for a 20 total. Stewart was high for the McMinnville team with 14 and Carlson had 13. For Southern Oregon D'Olivio followed Hollingworth's 31 with 14 and McAbee had 11. Rebound Edge The Raiders edged Linfield 84 to 79 in rebounds with D'Olivio picking 16 retrieves, Cliff Suth erland 15, Norm Oliva 14 in an abbreviated evening and Hol lingsworth 13. For the Wildcats Ralph Harms had 16, Russ Kof fard 13 and Machamer and Caryll Goetze each 11. Southern Oregon hit 27 for 58 for .465 from the field and 19 for 31 "for .613 from the gift stripe. For the 'Cats it was 26 for 61 for .426 from the field md 11 for 20 or .550 in free toss ing. Linfield lost Machamer, Riley and Goetze and SOC McAbee on five infractions each.

The dis patches will cover the teams in the Gator, Orange, Rose, Sugar, and Cotton bowls. BY STEVE GERSTEL Knoxville, Tenn. (IP) Coach Bowden Wyatt is using the low pressure approach to prepare his Tennessee Vols for their Ga tor Bowl game against Texas A&M. The program includes a pre Christmas vacation for the play ers, no formal practice sessions until five days before the game at Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 28, and a generally relaxed attitude all around. The twin factors of recruiting and final exams are responsible for this easy-going system. Coaches have been busy telling high schol football stars that Tennessee is the finest place pos sible to matriculate and the play ers were equally busy earning their letters in the classroom, althought they found time for small-group drills. A Third Big Reason A third reason for the no pressure post season preparation may overshadow the other two. After Tennessee beat Vander bilt to end the season with a 7-3 record, Wyatt said, "the big mistake I made was pushing the boys too hard, too early." This early push produced con secutive wins over Maryland, North Carolina and Georgia Tech. but by the time the Vols reached the Mississippi and Ken tucky games the players were too finely drawn. Wyatt does not want this to happen again. He feels five days of intensive practice at Sunny Ponte Verda, Fla., will be suf ficient to get Tennessee in top shape. "We'll be in good running con dition," Wyatt said, "and at full strength for the game." In good form, Tennessee will show Bear Bryant's Aggies a small but highly mobile line which has prohibited major lib erties by 10 opponents and a sound, if unspectacular, single, wing offense. Gordon Key Man Tailback Bobby Gordon is the key man in the Tennessee attack. He is not an exceptionally fast runner but is powerful and gets fine downfield blocking, long a Tennessee trade mark. Gordon is an average passer and uses the forward aerial spar ingly, but he is one of the best punters in the country. The lone booming kick is a vital segment oi tne vol of tense.
