;TEN MIDrORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, January 24. 1958 Tornado Battles GP; Tilt Here Saturday Z When a team is down and -out in its fortune there' ; tendency for little comment ;but to make actions speak rlouder than words. : The Medford Black Tor- -nado basketball crew will -make that effort this evening -when it vies against the Cave- :men of Grants Pass high still seeking its initial victory in : Southern Oregon conference land District 6 A-l contention. I And if those actions can be -made to speak loudly enough ; there'll be some cheerful con- -versation in anticipation of ;the Saturday night clash with "the Climate city boys. Z Medford goes to Grants Pass this evening and enter- - tains the Cavemen at Hedrick -gym here Saturday. Varsity -games are set for 8:15 p.m and will follow 6:30 p.m. jun- ;lor varsity engagements. - After Grants Pass' split -with Klamath Falls last week -end, it naturally has the role "of favorite for the series. The Cavemen dumped the pre viously unmarred Pelicans 52 Cto 46 on Saturday after a Fri Iday loss of 48 to 37 to KF. -Klamath earlier had laced Medford and Grants Pass have ;met so far this season. So ;there is no direct comparison Xwithin the conference. Med ford has played Ashland and Grants Pass has met Crater. -GP Mors Experienced ; The Cavemen and Tornado ;must go back to their opening Tgames of the season, non-con ference series, for other com "mon foes. In those games Med ford fared better although falling to Marshfield 51 to 50 and to North Bend 68 to 64. GP lost to the coast teams 55 to 50 and 74 to 56. Out comes of those games, how ever, don't give much evi dence of the current compara tive strengths of Medford and Grants Pass. They were played more than a month ago and the degree of improvement of each of the Southern Oregon loop members thereby can't be weighed. Grants Pass will field a more experienced team. Jim Smith, Mike Sparlin and Jerry Putnam are regulars from last year and Paul Lind quist is a letterman who saw quite a bit of duty. Dick Hayes is the only non letterman in the probable Caveman start ing five. Chuck Rembert, Fred Thomas and Pete Proctor are letterman reserves. The Tornado has largely a green squad. Coach Frank Roelandt has indicated no shake-up during the past week and may start the usual five. Tom Hamlin, Jerry Anderson, Lowell Dean, Bilbee Lane and Don Peek. Hamlin is the only regular back from last sea son. Lane and Peek won let ters last year and Anderson and Dean are sophomores. These are two other letter men among reserves, Don Bowling and Frank Albert. MEETS GRANTS PASS Jerry Anderson, above, so phomore forward of the Med ford high basketball crew, is expected to be among starters tonight and Saturday evening when the Black Tornado plays Grants Pass. The game tonight will be at Grants Pass with Saturday tussle at Hed rick gym in Medford. Pin Record Up to 550 Hanford, Calif.

Elimination Bout Billed Tentatively New York (W Virgil Akins : and Vince Martinez were ; matched tentatively today on; the assumption that Austra-i lian George Barnes will fail to meet Monday's deadline for accepting an elimination fight in the welterweight title tournament. Julius Helfand, chairman of the world championship box ing committee, set Monday as the deadline when. Barnes must agree to meet Akins of St. Louis or be dropped from the tourney. Matchmaker Billy Brown of the International Boxing club wants Akins and Martinez of Paterson, N.J., to meet in the tournament's 12-round semi fin a 1 match at Madison Square Garden, March 7. Next, the Akins-Martinez winner would fight Cuban Is aac Logart in the 15-round fi nal for the vacant 147-pound crown at the Garden March 28. Wants S6.000 Helfand set the Monday dead line for Barnes Thursday, when an attorney for the British Empire champion at Sydney told reporters Barnes would not be interested in a match with Akins unless he was guaranteed $6,000, plus expenses and transportation for two. The International Boxing club had offered Barnes a $4,- 000 guarantee, plus a 25 per cent of the net gate and trans portation for two. The IBC's cable to Barnes set March 7 or 14 for the proposed elimina tion at the Garden. Helfand said: "If the press reports are true, it is appar ent Barnes is stalling. The IBC's guarantee of $4,000 plus 25 per cent of the gate would exceed the $6,000 Barnes is asking." Medfoi UNE IPdDIffiTrS Snowman's Hill Bunny Tow in Use on Sunday Mount Shasta, Calif.

The course is open from 10 a.m. to 1U p.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays and from 6 to 10 p.m. Fridays and 10 to p.m. on Sundays. However, if there is sufficient demand, the rope tow also is kept open Sunday nights. Hart said the hare and hounds contest, which had to be postponed Jan. 11 because of a storm, will be held this Sunday afternoon. The T-bar will be kept open during the contest. Robinson Feels He'll Past Test Chicago (IP) Ray (Sugar) Robinson said today "I went to school" with middleweight champion Carmen Basilio "for 15 rounds, so I think I'll pass the final examination when I meet him again." Robinson, who has held the world 160 pound title record four times, gets his chance to try to grab the crown for the fifth time March 25 when he meets Basilio in the Chicago, Stadium. In their previous meeting, Basilio squeezed out 15-round split decision in New York's Yankee Stadium Sept. 23 to take the championship. "He made mistakes in that fight," Robinson said, "but I wasn't ready to take advant age of them. I got to think he's going to make mistakes this time-, and I got to think I'm going to take advantage of them." r n 'MOST VALUABLE PLAYER' Bob Cousy, of the Boston Celtics, receives NEA's "Most Valuable Player" award from Murray Olderman fleft) 0f neA, and Maurice Podoloff (right), president of the National Basketball Assn.

" Bradley tied Cincinati for first place in the Missouri Valley conference Thursday night by whipping Wichita, 92-83. It was the Shockers' first defeat in four league games and dropped them into third place. The Braves and Cincinnati now have matching 7-1 rec ords in the conference. Brad ley knocked off the Bearcats, 79-73 in their first meeting at Peoria, 111., three weeks ago and now are hopeful of scoring a repeat performance at Cincinnati Feb. 12 that could earn them the confer ence title and a berth in the NCAA playoffs. However, even if Cincin nati fails to make the NCAA, the Bearcats will be more than welcome in the National Invitation tournament at New York. Bradley, too, must be con sidered a certain N.I.T. entry in the event the Braves blow the Missouri Valley cham pionship. The Illinois redmen walked off with the N.I.T. crown last year. Banks Pressing for Sweeping Relaxation Of Curbs on Money Washington (IPl Banks to day pressed the Federal Re serve board for a sweeping relaxation of curbs on money. At the same time the joint congressional economic sub committee warned against any plunging move to shore up the sagging economy. The experts said there may be a delayed effect from the de fense buildup that could touch off a new inflationary spiral. Following Tuesday's an nouncement of a cut in the reserve's discount rate from 3 to 234 per cent the charge on loans to commercial banks big banks in several major cities lowered prime" inter est rates. The cut applied only to the reserve bank in Philadelphia. Thursday the board included its banks in New York, Cleve land, Richmond, Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City. The other five reserve banks are likely to follow suit shortly. The commercial banks' trimming of their prime rates the fees on loans to the big gest credit-worthy borrowers is expected eventually to spread to individuals, small firms and home mortgages. But many bankers said they still are not reducing their interest rates until they have more money to " loan. This refusal is said to be an attempt to pressure the Fed eral Reserve board the na tion's central bank into giv ing the banking system a big, Clay Staple ton' Mentioned for Big 10 Position Corvallis (IF) Clay (Stud) Stapleton, assistant football coach at Oregon State, was reported today to be under consideration by Iowa State officials to become head coach there.
