TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tornado, Vie Here Senior Larry Brown, first line reserve for the Medford High basketball quint, has been going great in drills this week and may even gain a starting berth this week end. That's the word from Coach Frank Roelandt as the Black Tornado geared for its big assignment against the skyscraping and Southern Oregon conference pacing Klamath Falls Pelicans. Med ford, which dropped its loop starting series to the Pels, still will be outreached in height but will have one ad vantage its home court. Games are at 8:15 each day after 6:30 p.m. junior varsity prelims. Roelandt stated that there have been no particular sur prises in drill this week but he indicated that workouts have been serious busines for the Tornadoes since they know that winning even one of the two games means much In their efforts to cop a state tourney trip. j Medford must at least split to remain tied for second place in the circuit. If the Tornado can accomplish what no other team has done this season and sweep a series from the Pels, it will have second place alone and be just one game behind Klam ath in the standings. Height Problem But the great Klamath alti tude does present a real prob lem particularly when Med ford doesn't have the height to match it. The Pels, of course, have their all-stater Glenn Moore, a 6-8 hoopman back for his third season with the team. Then there's Bob Niles, 6-6, who attended schools in Medford prior to his sophomore year A third tarter is Dave Robinson, 6 4Vz, who sprained a wrist in the Crater series two weeks ago but is expected to be back in harness. Then there's Bob Peterson, around 6-2. The fifth and little 'man in the line-up will be picked from among Tom Ankeny, Don DeLap and Smiley Her rera. " Klamath comes to Medford boasting a 13-1 record for the full season while Medford is 6-8. The lone Pelican loss was to Grants Pass. Klamath split a series with the Cavemen. Medford hope for a challeng ing week end comes from its two victories over Grants Pass and from the marked Phoenix Junior Rifle -Club Session Monday Phoenix Junior Rifle club, in the process of organization for the season, will meet Mon day, Feb. 10, from 7 to 10 for its regular shoot. Eleven members were on hand for the shoot last Monday. In structors served a snack at the conclusion of the evening activity. owling PACIFIC LEAGUE Standings: Team Five W. 14 11 Eagles Desert Service 8 Knights of Columbus 8 Haupert Tractor 7 Jack's Drive-Up 7 Team Six . 5 Prospect 4 Renults: Team Five 4 (O'Neal 535 2923: Jack's Drive-Up 0 (Cook 503) 2663.

Roelandt is expected to pick starters from among seven men, Tom Hamlin, Jerry An derson. Lowell Dean, Don Peek, Bilbee Lane, Don Bow ling and Brown. Bowling did some exceptionally fine work against Crater last week end and could be among the start ers as the Tornado mentor aims to combat the height disadvantage his club is up against. The Medford coach has previously remarked that, if Klamath just plays good games, the Tornado will have to come up with its best ef forts of the season to lick the Pels. EP, Phoenix Bill Crucial Rogue Tilts Phoenix high will attempt to stay in running for un shared title honors in the Rogue league basketball cam paign and Eagle Point will try to preserve its bid for a co-championship in this week end's competition. The Phoenix Pirates are wide favorites for their scrap with Rogue River at Phoenix on Friday but take on a rugged assignment Saturday with a jaunt to Brookings. Eagle Point goes to Glendale on Friday and must beat the league leader to stay in con tention. Brookings will be host to Illinois Valley for another Fri day league hassle. Rogue River will entertain Myrtle Creek of the Umpqua Valley league on Saturday. Phoenix and Brookings are tied for second in the loop one game behind Glendale and two ahead of the fourth place Eagles. The Pirates clipped the coast club 43 to 38 in a previous session at Klamath Falls. Glendale nicked Eagle Point 50 to 49 in mid-January at Eagle Point. 3,260,000 Fish Scheduled for 1958 Release Portland Some 3.260,000 yearling fish are scheduled for release in Oregon streams and lakes this summer by he game commission it was learn ed today.

February 6, 1958 PAL Boxers Head North For Tangles Larry Lewis and Larry Nored, Medford Police Ath letic league boxers, are to leave tonight for Portland to participate in the Golden Gloves boxing tournament sponsored by the Oregon Journal. Matches are billed for Fri day night and Saturday aft ernoon and evening. The two youths, who were to be accompanied by Jim Zack. PAL coach, are regard ed, as top contenders in their divisions. Lewis will seek the featherweight title and Nored the middleweight toga. They are the only boxers invited from Southern Oregon. 42 of 51 Lewis, 17-year-old Medford high senior, has been in 51 bouts since beginning his ca reer in 1951. He has won 42 fights, 14 by knockouts. He lost four matches by split nods to top glovemen in the North west. In 1955 Lewis won the Oregon AAU flyweight title. Last year he was bantam weight finalist in Journal Golden Gloves. Nored, 16. and a sophomore at Medford high, has won 24 of 29 conflicts. Two of his bouts were declared draws. In 1955 he took the novice division bantamweight prize in state AAU tourney. He was a lightweight finalist in Jour nal Golden Gloves in 1957. Nored's PAL career began in 1953. Ralph Dupas Wins Bout Norfolk, Va. UP) Light weight Ralph Dupas yelled for rating as a welterweight contender today because of his majority decision over Gaspar Ortega Wednesday night in their TV fight at the Municipal auditorium. It was the New Orleans lightweight contenders' sec ond victory in 10 months over a ranking welterweight aspir ant. Mexican Ortega is rated seventh. Last April, Dupas outpointed Vince Martinez, now a finalist challenger for the vacant welter crown. Outslugs Ortega Dupas surprised the 3,195 fans by, not only out-boxing lanky Ortega but by out-slugging him to win the votes of two of the three ring officials and remain unbeaten in 11 straight bouts. It was a "ma jority" verdict and not a "split" decision, since Judge Johnny Burton called it a draw. Ortega generally forced the action. In the early going, the mauler from Mexicali, Mex., tried to sap Ralph's speed with long shots to the body and to barrage him in corners. Meanwhile, Dupas used coun tering left jabs and left hooks. But in the second half of the bout, Dupas invited ex changes and out-fought Gas par at close quarters. Tsioropoulos Night Succeeds By UNITED PRESS Most athletes turn in a poor performance whenever they are given a special "night," mainly because they strive too hard to please their fol- j lowers. However, Lou Tsioropoulos of the Boston Celtics cele brated his "night" at Boston with a 16-point performance Wednesday night that helped the Celtics down the Cincin nati Royals, 116-89. The former Kentucky star received a 1958 hardtop se dan and other gifts from ad mirers from his hometown of ' Lynn, Mass., during halftime ', ceremonies. In the other NBA game, the Philadelphia Warriors defeat ed the Minneapolis Lakers, 112-102, for their sixth straight victory. Venturi Favored In Tucson Golf Tucson, Ariz.

HOCKEY AMERICAN LEAGUE By United Press j Hector LaLande, who has ; been something of a hockey nomad, apparently has found ' a home in Hershey. ; The 23-year-old center scor- i ed four goals Wednesday i night as the first-place Her shey Bears crushed Buffalo, 8-1, to increase their Ameri can Hockey league lead to seven points. In the only other game played, Springfield jumped out of last place and into fourth with a 3-1 triumph at Cleveland. April 15 team which, until the end of last season, was the Minne apolis Millers of the Ameri can Association. 2-Pronged Movement This drastic change of uni forms all stemmed from the twin-pronged movement of the Giants to San Francisco and Dodgers to Los Angeles. The revamped PCL not only will start operating the same day the majors do, but also has adopted their 154-game slate rather than the 168-game race which it carried in re cent years. Time was the hardy minor loop played 200- game schedules. Southern Oregon led 37-30 with three minutes to play but the Owls put on a rally led by reserve guards Del Francis and Charlie Wilson to pull the game out of the fire. Francis hit four points and Wilson canned a pair of free throws to tie the score. Wilson scored the winning point on a technical foul call. Bill Hollingsworth of SOC missed two free throws in the final minute. Oregon Tech had led only once until the end. That was 7-6 early in the game, SOC had a 23-20 halftime edge. Jim McAbee of SOC led all scorers with 12 while Jerry Fasteen and John Rhine had nine each for the Owls. The Raiders used a stout zone defense.

Special Hunts Produce Only Eight Elk Kills Portland Only eight elk were taken by 21 participat ing hunters last week end, Feb. 1 and 2, during the first two emergency big game sea sons held in Oregon, the game commission reported. The two hunts designed to reduce game damage to agri cultural lands were held in Union county near Shaw mountain and in Coos county near Sitkum on the Coquille river. In the Union county hunt, 15 nimrods converged at down on a herd of some 35 elk graz ing in a field of sprouting grain and managed to bag five before the animals scattered and were driven back into the hills. Deep snow prevented the hunters from driving the elk much beyond the first ridge top bordering the fields. The animals taken were two cows, two calves and one bull. At Sitkum in Coos county, six hunters managed to bag three elk from a band of 13 that were causing extensive damage to hay -and pasture lands in the valley. All of the animals taken were cow elk, including the herd leader. John McKean, chief of the game division, said it was doubtful that the hunts pro duced the desired results. He based his opinion on the small number of animals taken and because weather conditions would not permit driving the animals far from the damage areas. .

Crater, Ashlanders Bill Cage Clashes Ashland and Crater highs open the second time around in Southern Oregon confer ence basketball each intent on doing better than when they met in their league launcher series in January. The clubs clash at Ashland on Friday and at Central Point on Saturday night. January action ended in a draw with each quint win ning on its home court. This week end's tangles finds the Grizzlies of Ashland striving to improve on a fourth place ranking and the Comets try ing to pull out of the cellar of the circuit. Players, coaches and fol lowers of each aggregation feel that had situations in the first half of the campaign been just a bit more in their favor they would be riding substantially higher in the standings. Each has dropped some close contests. Better Shape At Central Point, Coach Don Anielak is not savine much about Comet plans. He feels that Crater will be in much better shape physically than last week end asainst Medford when Wayne Allen was hampered by a leg bruise and Loyal Higinbotham was recuperating from a head gash. Possible starting gang for Crater is Joe Teeter and Moore Seeking Patterson Tiff New York (IP) Light heavyweight champion Archie Moore, back from Brazil, challenged Floyd Patterson today to a September heavy weight title defense "a shot that I want more than any thing in the world." ; Admitting 4J, the mustach ioed 'and goateed patriarch said his burning yen for a return bout with young Pat terson was fuelled by a new "master plan" that required his winning the heavy crown before he retired. "I want to be the oldest man to win that title," he stressed. The big plan includes a July defense of his own 175-pound title against Chuck Spieser, "if he gets up the 5100,000 guarantee," or against Cana dian Yvon Durelle.
