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

Pelicans
on Friday
improvement it has shown
since its previous engage
ments with the Pelicans at
Klamath Falls.
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.

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.

inches in length at release
time with many going to nine
and 10 inches. About 179,000

total of 146.000 silver salmon
yearlings is scheduled for re

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

Wednesday night that helped
the Celtics down the Cincin

2-Pronged Movement
This drastic change of uni

twin-pronged movement of
the Giants to San Francisco

The revamped PCL not only
will start operating the same

has adopted their 154-game
slate rather than the 168-game

Southern Oregon led 37-30

free throws to tie the score.
Wilson scored the winning
point on a technical foul call.

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

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.
Yes, a dividend of three extra years
