EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tornado, Medford high's 1958 basket ball version of the Black Tor nado, figured to be facing the Tornado's toughest Southern Oregon conference slate in four seasons, opens its league contention this evening and Saturday in what is expected to prove the most rugged series of the campaign. The Medfordites go against the skyscraper Klamath Falls Pelicans, who are not only the favorites to repeat as SO champions but are regarded as one of the top-ranking quints in Oregon. And on top of that the Tornado encoun ters Klamath on its home floor, always an ambitious as signment. Jim Crow, sports editor of the Klamath Falls Herald and News, has dug into the past and has come up with the in formation that the tradition al maplecourt rivalry between the Pels and Tornado will be staged for the 101st time this evening. And his figures in dicate that the Pels on the week end have in mind to pull even with Medford in the longtime competition. Of the 100 games contested the Tor nado has won 51 and Klamath Falls 49, First Game in 1910 Klamath won the first, 50th and 100th hoop frays between the two schools. First basket ball conflict between the two was on Jan. 17, 1910with the Pelicans winning 30 to 19 Medford was the first prep cage foe for Klamath outside the Klamath basin Medford has had a giant- killer role before in facing tall Klamath Falls clubs and its horjes for this week end are bolstered by the fact that one of its cripples has recov ered sufficiently to start and that another likely will be used some of the time Coach Frank Roelandt like ly will have Jerry Anderson, Tom Hamlin, Lowell Dean, Bilbee Lane and Don Peek in the starting Tornado unit.

Their 10-rounder at Madi son Square Garden will be televised and broadcast na tionally by NBC at 7 p.m. (PST).

"THE AMAZING Is Every Inch MORSE MOTORS West 6th and Ivy Sts. Phone SP 2-7155 for the scribes. In the Los Angeles Times, writer Braven Dyer said "The score of 10-7 was a com plete moral victory for the underdog Ducks from Eugene who had been doped to lose by three touchdowns. They lost, but at day's end there weren't many fans who were willing to concede that the better team had won." Times writer Dick Hyland said "Oregon, yesterday in. the Rose Bowl was great; never have so few done so much." Felt Oregon Would Win The Examiner's Vincent X. Flaherty reported: "Straight up until the last dwindling seconds of play" there wasn't one of 98,202 people on hand who didn't have a feeling Oregon was going to come on and win. There wasn't a member of this vast throng that didn't go away con vinced Oregon deserved no worse than a tie. The Ore gonians put on an astound ing display, and surprisingly enough, seemed to be the su perior team a great part of the way." The writers also heaped praise on Casanova. Flaherty said the Oregon mentor "un doubtedly performed the greatest coaching job of the season for the Rose Bowl classic . . . There couldn't have been abowl team any where in America yesterday that dazzled with more spec tacular finesse."

And something new was added. Jim Smith, outgoing head of the commission, Linted Los Angeles Mayor Morris Poul son might be more desirous of seeing the Dodgers play in Pasadena's Rose Bowl than the Coliseum. "I would be interested in knowing," Smith said in a prepared statement, "and I believe it might help in clear ing up some phases of this situation, whether Mayor Poulson is more desirous of having the Dodgers play in Pasadena in the Rose Bowl than in the Los Angeles Me morial Coliseum."
