EIGHT MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE

Black Tornado Host
To Comets Tonight;
Tight Race For 2nd
Somebody remarked that
this week end's scrambles in
Southern Oregon conference
basketball will separate the
men from the boys as the
paying goes. That's a matter
of opinion. But this is known
for certain: Either the tight
race for second place in the
circuit will open up a little
or it will continue in its
present jammed condition.
Medford is host to Crater
at Hedrick tonight while
Grants Pass entertains Ash
land. On Saturday Medford

the start of the second half
but it will still be a dogfight
among three of the four con
tingents.
There was nothing new on
the Medford front this morn
ing. At least their was no re
port from mentor Frank Roe
landt. Reserve John Harvey
was on the doubtful list be
cause of the thumb injury.
For Crater a pair of fresh
men, Bryson LaCasse and
Loval Hisinbotham. are ex
pected to be wearing varsity
uniforms. It's been reported
that Higinbotham loomed as a
possible starter during drills
this week. However, he sut-
fered a head cut in practice
last night and needed a couple
of stitches. The injury could
change the picture.
Roelandt likely will go
with his usual Medford five,
Jerry Anderson, Tom Hamlin,
Lowell Dean, Don Peek and
Bilbee Lane. Crater starters
will be chosen from wayne
Allen, Jerry Kime, Randy
Campbell. Kerman Bennet,
Chuck Turner. Joe letter,
Bill White and Higinbotham.
TORNADO HOOPMEN Don
Bowling, above, has had a re
serve role on the Medford
high basketball squad since
recuperating from a foot in
jury which kept him out of
early season games. The
Black Tornado plays Crater
at Hedrick gym here tonight
and at Central Point on Sat
urday. There will be 6:30 p.m.
junior varsity scrapes with
the main engagements at
8:15 p.m.
while GP comes to Ashland.
The week end series mark the
halfway point in the confer
ence and District 6 A-l chase.
Klamath Falls draws a rest
this week, having reached the
midway point with a three
game lead over the rest of the
pack.
While Klamath foes still
hope to dispute the point,
most prognosticators concede
that the Pelicans are shoo-ins
for their second straight
league championship. They
have a three-game lead over
second place Ashland. That
leaves for second place and a
6tate tourney berth among
the rest of the five-team field
Tightly Bunched
They are bunched almost
as tight as is possible. Ashland
with a 3-3 mark is just a
game ahead of Medford,
Grants Pass and Crater, all
with 2-4. Splits in week end
series will maintain this situa
tion. If series sweeps are rec
orded, the successful clubs
will have an advantage for

The handicap of 2 days, 9

greatest night of his career
Thursday night with a 60
point explosion; that carried
the Chieftains from the
depths of a 19-point deficit to
a tingling 94-91 victory over
Portland University.
Two School Records Set
Baylor gave page 24 anoth
er beating as he cashed in 24
of 34 field goal attempts and
12 of 13 charity tosses to set
two new school records and
move to within a whisker of
the nation's leading scorers
His 24 field goals broke the
school mark of 22 which he
set earlier in the month
against Montana State Col
lege. His 60 points also was
a new school high, washing
out the 53 he established
against Montana State.
Baylor was the only sane
person in the house when he
stepped to the free throw line
with 11 seconds left and cas
ually dropped in two free
throws to snap a 91 to 91 tie.
Baylor's 6 0 -point burst
raised his game average to
31.7 and leaves him breathing
on the necks of Oscar Robert
son of Cincinnati and Wilt The
Stilt Chamberlain of Kansas.
May Turn Pro In Juno
Robertson got 30 markers
Thursday night in Cincinnati's
79-59 verdict over Miami of
Ohio and his 32.6 game mark
leaves him just a notch ahead
of Chamberlain at 32.4.
A junior who transferred
from College of Idaho, Baylor
has put in four years of col
lege and will be eligible for
pro ball when school is out
this June. The line is forming
on the right.
Whether he makes the jump
to pro ranks or finishes up his
college career next year is
something that has Coach
John Castellani keeping his
fingers crossed.
The consensus is Baylor
will make an outstanding pro
player.
Portland blew a 19-point
lead late in the second half to
watch Baylor come up with a
record - shatter in g perform
ance
Portland threw freshman
sensation Ray Scott, a high
school teammate of Wilt
Chamberlain's, into the fray
but Scott's 28 points were not
enough. The Pilots will have
another chance at Seattle
again tonight and the 6-9
Scott may wel hold the key
to a Pilot victory if some
thing can be done about Baylor.

Campanella showed continued
improvement today in his bat
tle to shake off the paralysis
I that set in after he suffered a
i broken neck in last Tuesday's
automobile accident.
"The patient spent a better
day Thursday than Wednes
day," the latest bulletin from
Glen Cove Community hos-
j pital said. "His temperature is
moderately elevated which
is expected. There is further
improvement in feeling which
is now present over the ab
domen. Paralysis in his legs
is unchanged."
Harry Gifford, the hospital
administrator, pointed out
that Campanella is improving
faster than originally expect
ed but that he remains on the
critical list.

dispatches tracing the career
of Roy Campanella).

By MILTON RICHMAN
New York (IP) Any day
now, Roy campanella is go
ing to prop himself up on his
hospital bed and inquire:
"Hey Doc, when am I gettin
out of here?"
Campy hates hospitals. He s
been in so many that some of
his Los Angeles Dodger team
mates kiddingly call him
Doctor Kildare."
Hospitalized with a cracked
left kneecap in July of 1955
he complained his nerves were
being "worn to a frazzle
from following the Dodger
games on radio and television
It got so bad that Campan
ella put on his clothes one
day and went out to the Polo
Grounds where the Dodgers
were playing the Giants. He
came down to the bench in
his civvies and the first one
who spied him was his room
mate, Don Newcombe.
Newcombe Needles
"Ain't you got the life?"
Newcombe needled. "Loungin'
around up there, takin' it easy
and drinkin' all the beer you
"Lemonade," Cam panella
corrected solemnly.
"Yeah, I'll bet you're strug
elin'." big Newk continued.
"I'm fixin' on coming' back
'cause I figure you miss me
"Darn rieht I do," New
combe grunted. "They gave
me a new roomie Sandy
Amoros, and he snores some
thin' awful. That wouldn't be
so bad, 'cept he does it in
Spanish."
CamDanella never could
stand inactivity and it invar
iably puzzled him to see any
other ball player loaf.
"How can they do it? ne a
ask. "How can they stand out
there and play ball if they
don't want to do it? Me, i
guess baseball's in my blood. I
just gotta' play or else I'm
miserable. No sir, I couian i
have gone through all those
seasons of playing 250 games
a year if I didn't enjoy it.
Cracker-Barrel Talker
Although he never gained
Jackie Robinson's fame as a
sneaker Campanalla often
omapH listeners with his
cracker - barrel type philos
ophy on all subjects. When
there was talk about govern
mental anti-trust legislation
against baseball not so long
ago, the portly Dodger receiv
er summed up the situation
this way:
"They can sit in Washing
ton and debate this and that.
But I want to tell everybody
this. Baseball will do more
for the things which this coun
try stands for than all their
elocution. We aren't worried
about who caught or hit the
ball his nationality or his
politics but only about the
guy who wants to win."
Word from Community hos
pital in Glen Cove, Long
Island, where Campanella
was admitted Tuesday follow
ing his near-fatal automobile
accident, is that the irrepres
sible Dodger receiver has be
gun "telling jokes."
It's the best "sign" Campy
ever has given.
Ray Nagel
Utah Tutor
Salt Lake City, Utah (IP)
Ray Nagel, a student of two
of college football's finest
coaches, hasn't decided what
type of formation he will use
when he assumes the reins as
head coach at the University
of Utah.
The 30-year-old UCLA as
sistant was named to the top
Utah position late Thursday
by the University board of
regents over two other candi
dates, both from the state of
Utah Andy Everest and
Tally Stevens. Everest is now
an assistant at Utah and Ste
vens, a graduate of Utah, is
an assistant at nearby Brig
ham Young university.
Nagel will receive a salary
of $12,000 per year.' He suc
ceeds Jack Curtice, who re
cently accepted the head job
at Stanford university. Cur
tice's resignation is effective
March 1.
Nagel will come to Utah
with a wealth of experience
under two of the nations
finest head coaches Red
Sanders of UCLA and Bud
Wilkinson of Oklahoma
Sanders teaches the single
wing, ana Wilkinson is an ex
pert with the split-T.

Pitt HanHs
St. John's
Hoop Loss
By TIM MORIARTY
United Press Sports Writer
That hoped for "meetin' of
the unbeatens" between West
Virginia and St. Johns at New
York next week has degener
ated into a "weepin" of the
beatens."
First, West Virginia was
knocked off by Duke Monday
night and then Pittsburg hung
an 86-73 black eye on St.
Johns, the last of the major
college perfect record teams,
Thursday night at Pittsburgh.
St. John's had gone unbeat
en and untested in its first
nine games, toying with such
"patsies" as Bridgeport, Hunt
er, Washington & Lee, Roa-
noke and Rhode Island. So
this .clash with Pitt was con
sidered the Redmen's initial
trial, even though the Pan
thers claimed only a 9-5 rec
ord.
It turned out to be no con
test.
Led by little Don Hennon's
25-point barrage, Pittsburgh
led almost all the way. The
Panthers jumped to an early
advantage, reached the inter
mission with a 42-37 bulge,
and fought off the New York
ers in the second half.
Julius Pegues also had a
big hand in the Pitt triumph
by contributing 19 points.
Alan Seiden poured in 28
points for St. John's, but this
was small consolation to Joe
Lapchick's men, who now
must face Temple Saturday
night before tangling with
West Virginia.
Oscar Robertson hung on
to his slim lead over "vaca
tioning" Wilt Chamberlain in
the national scoring race with
a 30-point effort that helped
Cincinnati whip Miami of
Ohio, 79-59, while Elgin Bay
lor of Seattle joined the fight
again by pouring in a record
60 points as the Chieftains
edged Portland University,
94-91.
Robertson now has scored
523 points in 16 games for an
average of 32.69 points per
contest. Chamberlain had a
32.42 point average when
Kansas knocked off for mid
term exams almost two weeks
ago. The Jayhawks don't
swing back into action until
next Monday night against
Kansas State.
