Tornado cnances for a fourth consecutive journey to the Oregon high school bas ketball tournament may be much better known to Med ford fans after this week end's games.

A good many "ex perts" regard the Eugenians tougher competition. The Tornado in its league starters was more decisively beaten by Klamath Falls than was Ashland last week. Klam ath had the advantage of its home floor against Medford while Ashland was at home in meeting the Pels. But de spite the home floor factor, Ashland goes into its Medford series at least a slight favorite. Practices thte week have been aimed at improving the Tornado offensive patterns. Defense also has been girded for the set offense of the Lithians and has been worked on to overcome the lapses of previous scuffles. Possible Medford starters this evening are Jerry Ander son, Tom Hamlin, Lowell Dean, Don Peek and Bilbee Lane. For Ashland it should be Kip Lombard, Bill Maurer, Jack Tobiasson, Al Hartwell and Scott Peterson.

The surprising Trojans, on the heels of league-leadine Or egon State with a 4-1 confer ence mark, are rated the un derdogs against the Bruins, who lived up to their pre-sea-son press notices with victor ies over Oregon and Idaho last weekend. Coach Johnny Wooden's five has a 3-1 PCC record and should come out with another victory under its belt. The PCC race is a wide open af- Kiner Foresees Success in PCL By HAL WOOD Tijuana, Mex. (IP) The re vamped Pacific Coast league may be a bigger financial and artistic success in 1958 than it ever was when Los Angeles and San Francisco had fran chises in it, according to Ralph Kiner, general mana ger of the San Diego Padres. Kiner, the one-time home run king of the National league, is looking forward to a great season, not only for his own club, but for the whole league. "We have re ceived very encouraging re ports on the advance sales in Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Spokane," said Kiner. "Here in San Diego we are building a new park and the advance sale of box seats is better than it was when Los Ange les and San Francisco were in the league." Kiner sees no reason there should be a lessening of in terest in the loop in Seattle, Portland and Vancouver, holdovers from last year. IS MEDFORD A : m XS tw mmm scoops I Dart 4.00 Dale 5.00 fair this season, however, and the Trojans rarely play dead against the Bruins in any thing. Two other PCC games are scheduled. Defending confer ence titlist California will be out to provei t is of champion ship caliber when the Bears host Stanford at Berkeley, Idaho will be fighting to stay in the title chase when the Vandrfs take on Washington State at Pullman. Oregon State, Washington and Oregon are idle. Oregon plays host to Wash ington at McArthur court on Saturday night. Oregon State meets California at Berkeley Saturday night and visits Stanford Monday night. The PCC race is pretty well bunched up at this point but things should clear up some what after this weekend's games. As it stands now, Ore gon State is in first place with a 2-0 record, followed by USC 4-1, California and UCLA 3-1, Idaho 2-2, Washington 1-2, Stanford and Washington 1-3, and Oregon 0-3. Nats Will Try To Close Gap By UNITED PRESS The Syracuse Nationals, who have been slowly biting away at Boston's tremendous lead in the Eastern division of the National Basketball as sociation will get their chance to make it close when they tangle with the Celtics to night. Syracuse checked a late St. Louis rally to rip the Hawks, 112-96, Thursday night and move to within four and a half games of the Celtics. In other games Thursday night, Detroit edged Phila delphia, 113-108 and Cincin nati defeated Minneapolis, 124-108.
