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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The Bruins play at Phoenix
in the Rogue league.
Phoenix is ranked fourth
in the Portland Oregonians

put Phoenix ahead of the

has won two non-conference
wins over the Eagles.

Brookings is current leader
among Rogue teams with
three victories and no losses.
Phoenix, like Glendale, has
dropped one of its two games,
Glendale bowed to the Bruins.
