TEW MEDFORD (OREGON) - - 4 " 1 .; ? TALKS AT LIONS' DINNER Len Cas anova, right, University of Oregon foot ball mentor, is greeted at Medford Lions' football dinner by Louie Ruhl, president of the service club, while Norm Chapman, left, and Jack Morris, Oregon co-captains. Financial Aid Session -i Set by PCC - Los Angeles flfl The Pacific Coast conference will hold a special session March .14 - 16 in San Francisco to -study a new program of fin- ancial aid, to athletes. 5 Commissioner Victor O. Z Schmidt announced the meet ing Tuesday. The conference "approved the special session last December at Us winter f meeting. ; Faculty representatives and Z athletic directors will consid Z er details of a program which I would permit each school in the PCC to offer a limited number of athletic grants of tuition and subsistence for - work. ; Higher Grades I As outlined in December and placed into the hands of a special committee, students ' qualifying for aid would have to make somewhat higher ; grades than in the past. Em ployment off campus would .be prohibited. Scholarships still would be available to athletes who fail ed to meet the higher scholast- .ic ratings on the same terms as they now are granted, but :the number would be limit ed. A formula which also would permit athletes to accept aid for less work was proposed ior study by the conference. Holly Earns Ring Draw Miami Beach, Fla. (IT) Holly Mims, a veteran middle weight who was reported on his way down hill, invited all comers today to test the new potency of his right hand. The 29-year-old Washing ton, D.C., scrapper, whistled home a short right to the jaw of Bobby Boyd Wednesday :night to earn a 10-round draw with the heavily-favored sev enth - ranked middleweight from Chicago in a return bout. Boyd Dumped The punch came in the eighth round and dumped :Boyd to the canvas before . 2,496 fans and a national tele- sion audience. Boyd, a busy jabber, rose at the count of four and went -w , , i i, 1 11 mandatory eight-count. Mims and his handlers call ed the draw , decision "rob berv." But the iudees and ref- leree thought Boyd's pressing- rand jabbing tactics against the retreating and grappling Mims at least earned an even count despite the knockdown. Glickman Asks For Center Use For Pro Cagers ; Portland OP) Promoter 1 Harry Glickman Wednesday : asked for a lease agreement ron Portland's planned new Exposition-Recreation center with a view toward bringing professional basketball here in 1960. Members of the city's ER commission said they would try to act upon it before the April meeting of the National Basketball Association. Glickman said a Portland NBA franchise might come up for discussion at the April meeting. He said he was point ing to the 1960-61 season when Los Angeles is expected to have an arena ready for pro fessional basketball. He said the NB.Vs long range hope is for a Far West division of perhaps four teams. But he said he believed Los Angeles and Portland could come in by 1960 as a temporary expansion of the present Western division. MAIL TRIBUNE MEDFORDaTRIBUNE Black Tornado Girds For Caveman Series; Crater Eyes KF Pels Medford high's basketball contingent wound up practice floor preparations today for a week end series in which vic tory is virtually a must if the Black Tornado is to revitalize and surge back into the chase as a contender for a state A-l tourney berth from the South ern Oregon conference. The Tornado whirls to Grants Pass on Friday night and is host to the Cavemen Saturday evening at Hedrick gym. Grants Pass, which had ex perienced a so-so season, rose up last week to split with Klamath Falls, the loop lead er and rated one of the pow ers in the state. Now the Cavemen must be regarded as one of the chief threats in the race. Medford is the only club which is winless in the circuit. Another conference and District 6 A-l tangle takes Crater to Klamath Falls for Friday and Saturday brushes. Klamath's Pels on their home floor rate the favored status. But chances of the Comets on the basis of a victory over Grants Pass can't be over looked. Coach Frank Roelandt of Medfordites was pretty well pleased with his inexperi enced Tornadoes last Satur day, particularly with their defensive work, despite the loss to Ashland. It's possible, after the low number shots taken in the Grizzly series, that the mentor will have his club firing more against the Cavemen. The Tornado had a fair marksmanship average last Saturday and more shooting from the field could offset any possible deficit in compara tive efforts with GP at the free line. Neither Medford nor Cavemen players have any great advantage in height which gives an even chance under the backboard. Roelandt has reported Tor nado performances in practice as spotty with the crew work ing well at times. He'll likely call on the usual opening five Jerry Anderson and Tom Hamlin, forwards, Lowell Dean, center, and Bilbee Lane, and Don Peek, guards. Grants Pass line-up may be Jim Smith and, Paul Lind quist, forwards, Jerry Put nam, center, and, Mike Spar lin and Dick Hayes, guards. Hayes is the only non-letter-man in the quint. He's a jun ior with jayvee experience. The others are seniors. Chuck Rembert, Fred Thomas and Pete Proctor are principal reserves. At Central Point Coach Don Anielak reported that two freshman squad players have been brought up to the Crater varsity. They are Loy al Higinbotham, 5-8, who is expected to give the Comets more firepower and Bryson LaCasse, whose rebounding should hold the club. Anielak indicated that the two will be on the frosh crew ANDERSON TURNS PRO San Francisco (IP! Olym pic weight lifting champion Paul Anderson has turned professional wrestler and will make his debut at the civic auditorium next Tuesday. The 335-pound Alabaman will team with San Francisco Forty Niner tackle Leo Nom ellini in a tag match against brothers Mike and Ben Sharpe. Thursday, January 23. 1958 look on. Casanova gave the principal talk last night at the dinner honoring Medford and St. Mary's high gridders. Chapman and Morris, ex-Medford high stars, spoke briefly. for a game with Hedrick Fri day. It is hoped to have them join the varsity for the Satur day fray at Klamath Falls. They definitely will be with the varsity for the Medford series on the following week end. Against Klamath's tall Pels Crater may have Wayne Al len, Joe Teeter, Kerman Ben nett and Randy Campbell as starters with the fifth posi tion to be filled from among Jerry Kime, Bill White and Chuck Turner. i Paul Beach has been lost from the Crater squad. He is moving to Elmira. owling PACIFIC LEAGUE Standings: Team Five .... Desert Service Eagles Jacks Drive Up Knights of Columbus Haupert Tractor .

Team Requires Definite Purpose in Mind To Gain Success, Casanova Says A definite purpose in mind and the attributes of intelli gence, enthusiasm, good lead ership and perserverence are essentials of success for a football team, Len Casanova, coach of University of Ore gon's spirited Rose Bowl ag gregation. asserted in a talk here last night. Casanova addressed the an nual Medford Lions club grid iron banquet at the Jackson hotel. Lions honored the Med ford high squad and cheer leaders and St. Mary's grid seasons. The dinner was open to the public and was well attended. The Webfoot mentor gave particular credit to Oregon's four co-captains and the lead ership they assumed for the success of the past season's team. Two of the captains, Jack Morris and Norm Chap man, ex-Medford high stars, were present at the dinner and spoke briefly. The others were Harry Mondale and Jim Shanley. No Prima Donnas , Dwelling on the U of O campaign just past, Casanova pointed out that the Webf oots did have a purpose in mind. He said that they started as a team, and played as a team, working as a unit with no concern for individual glory. There were no prima donnas on the club, he remarked. The Oregon coach knocked the view that football players are big, dumb individuals and pointed to the scholarship and intelligence on his team. Con cerning the enthusiasm of the Ducks, Casanova reiterated a declaration made after the Rose Bowl game that his squad was "an amazing group of kids" and were great scrap pers. On the matter of per serverence, the mentor traced the progress of his team from its shaky start and mistakes in the early games until it found itself against UCLA. Regarding the rough treat ment Oregon received from the Southern California press prior to the Rose Bowl fray, Casanova mentioned that he didn't have to tell his players anything to fire them for the game. "If you have the right kind of individual, he'll fight back," the tutor pointed out. He told of the many letters from Southern California and the Midwest he has received since the Pasadena battle ex pressing admiration for the Oregon club. Greetings Brought Speaking of the discourage ment a coach gets from poor seasons, the Duck skipper said that getting a group of kids like he's had at Oregon makes one want to stay in coaching. Casanova told of the en thusiasm and encouragement that Chapman gave from the sidelines through the rest of the season after injury in the Washington State game. He termed Morris' performance in the University of Southern California contest one of the most remarkable by an indi vidual that he has seen. Chapman brought greetings from Bill Bowerman, U of O track mentor and ex-Medford high player and coach. He called playing with the Ducks "a real experience" and spoke of their tremendous" desire. About the Rose Bowl he said, "So far as I am concerned, we did win the ball game." Appreciation Told Morris expressed apprecia tion for the people of Med ford who have shown an in terest in him and have helped him over a number of hurdles. The Duck back, classed as Rogue Steelhead Angling Poor Portland (IP) The weekly report on fishing conditions prepared by the State Game Commission: Southwest: St e e 1 heading fair to good on South Ump qua in vicinity of mill dam near Douglas county fair grounds, at mouth of Cow creek and in area between Jackson creek and Milo.

Rogue and Illinois slow and Applegate river poor. I" m LAMPORTS one of Medford high's all-time athletic greats, remarked that he felt going back to college and getting his education was his greatest accomplishment. He spent four years in the Air Force before starting his collegiate varsity football and track career. Leonard Mayfield, Medford superintendent of schools and a Rotary club member, was master of ceremonies. In in troducing Casanova he said that to many the Oregon men tor was a "surprise," but not to those of us who know him. The emcee also said that the school files kept on Morris and Chapman were indicative of their success. Medford high grid coach Fred Spiegelberg introduced his squad and staff and St Mary's coach Bill McKibbin his- players. The banquet concluded with the showing of films of the 1958 Rose Bowl fracas. Wheaton Keeps Top Position in Basketball Poll New York (IP) Wheaton (111.) college topped the United Press small college basket ball ratings today for the second straight week but Southwest Missouri State cracked the Midwest's grip on the first four places.
