Black Tornado; KF Pelicans Collide Tonight, Saturday It's the Medford high Black Tornado'8 turn to make the giant-killer effort. And the Tornado hoopsters will give the old try tonight and Sat urday night against the Go liaths of the Southern Ore gon conference, the Klamath Union High school Pelicans Contention on the Hedrick court here will find the Klam ath Falls quintet attempting to push its loop and District 6 A-l leadership to four full games while Medford shoots for lone hold of second place In the circuit, a status which necessitates a two-game sweep which would put the Tornado Just a game behind the Pels Klamath Falls comes here as a giant in a couple of ways. Not only do the Pelicans boast "the best height in the confer ence and, perhaps, in the state but they are rated No. 3 team in Oregon prep cage polls. The Pelicans, who thumped Medford twice at the start of the season have the role of favorite. However, the less experienced but improv ing Tornado draws confidence from its two-game sweep of Grants Pass, which split with Klamath and holds the only win of the season over the Pels. Games tonight open the sec ond half of the conference chase. Crater will play at Ashland this evening in the other brush. And when Med ford and KF vie here again tomorrow, the Comets will entertain Ashland at Central Point. t Klamath enters play this evening after resting last week end. This series will be an indication of the conflict ing theories concerning the benefits or harm from lay-off from active competition. The Pels after some shaky tussels, seemed to have hit stride a couple of week ends back. The rest Jast week served either to break that stride or give the Pels a chance to revigorate for the home stretch of the annual maplecourt rivalry. Medford goes to the cage floor with spurred up confl dence with four straight wins after diopping the, first four tangles in the loop.i Brown May Start There was indication that Larry Brown will get a start ing assignment for the Tor nado this evening with Coach Frank Roelandt aiming to bolster the height of the Med ford club and still keep mo bility.

For the Fels the five are expected to be Glenn Moore, Bob Niles, Dave Robinson, Bob Peterson and Smiley Her- rera. timer Don DeLiap or Tom Ankeny could be in the opening crew in place of Her- rera.

(IP) One robin doesn't mean its spring and one-round doesn't win a 72-hole golf tournament, but there were at least 46 happy guys who teed off in the sec ond round of the $15,000 Tucson Open golf tournament today. They all had first day par-cracking efforts to their credit. Not since the St. Paul Open last summer have the golfers literally taken a course apart as they did in the first round here Thurs day. Three men tied for the lead with six-under-par ef forts of 64; Manuel de la Torre, Milwaukee, Wis.; Bill Johnston, Provo, Utah; Frank Stranahan, Toledo, Ohio. And they were only one shot in front of John Barnum, Grand Rapids, Mich., and the unknown, Jim Riggins, An derson, S.C. Three more were right on their heels with 66: Jerry Barber, Los Angeles; Lionel Hebert, Lafayette, La.; and Tony Lema, Napa, Calif. Plaza 1 (Armes 474) z.za; iru Miv 3 (Snpdden 508) 2.299.

At his best when things look bad," is the way Coach Fred Schaus describes Sharrar and the 6-foot, 10-inch center demonstrated again Thursday night how he comes through under pressure. Lloyd hadn't scored a field goal in the first half and St. John's university led the Mountaineers, 40-38. Then he reeled off seven baskets in the second half and West Virginia came out on top, 87-78. "That Sharrar became the potent factor in the second half." admitted St. John's coach Joe Lapchick. "West Virginia's a terrific team; simply wonderful." Sharrar, a 21-year-old, 200- pounder from Meadville, Pa., plaved his first two seasons in the shadow of the colorful Rod Hundley and this year surrenders most of the rave notices to teammate Jerry West. But they say at West Virginia, "The team goes as Sharrar goes" and proudly call him, "the best center east of the Mississippi." West Virginia's 16th triumph in 17 games was par ticularly sweet for coach Schaus inasmuch as he top ped a coach for whom he played with the New York Knickerbockers of the Na tional Basketball association. The defeat was St. John's third in four games after it ran up nine straight victories. Trotters Down SF Forty-Niners San Jose, Calif. con The j crater lake league Harlem Globetrotters downed the San Francisco Forty Nin- ers, 58-43, in a fun-packed bas ketball game Thursday night before a turnaway crowd of 3,300 at Civic auditorium. But the pro gridders get three more cracks at the clowning 'Trotters tonight in San Francisco, Saturday in Oakland and Sunday in Sacramento. Oregon State Host To Oregon Tonight By GENE BRYANT United Press Sports Writer The California Bears will be out to start their southern swing off on a winning, note tonight when they take on a good Southern California squad in the premier game of a full Pacific Coast confer ence slate. The Bears are tied- with UCLA for the conference lead and a win over the Trojans is in the "must" category be cause the Bruins meet a weak Washington State five in the other half of the double bill at Los Angeles Pan-Pacific auditorium.

A Trojan win would also further scramble what has been one of the closest PCC races in years. Huskies Host Idaho In the fNorthwest, Idaho and Oregon State will attempt to stay in the running when the Vandals meet Washington at Seattle and the Beavers host Oregon in a "traditional" at Corvallis. The Huskies have proved troublesome to several teams this season notably Mich igan State and OSC and the Vandals cannot afford an other loss. A Webfoot victory over the Beavers would also virtually sniff out any title hopes Coach Slats Gill's quin tet still entertains. Stanford is idle. Going into tonight's con tests, Cal and UCLA are dead locked for the top spot with 5-1 marks, followed by Idaho 5-2, Oregon State 5-3 and USC 4-3. Washington and Oregon head the second division with 3-5 records, followed by Stan ford 2-7 and Washington State 1-6.

(International) Airlines To Raise Fares 4 Per Cent Washington OP) The nation's 25 scheduled airlines will boost their fares by 4 per cent plus a dollar fee on each ticket at midnight Sunday.

The Civil Aeronautics Board Jan. 24 anonunced it would grant the interim fare hike to help alleviate the in dustry's financial ills pend ing its formal decision on the airlines' plea for fare boosts ranging from 12Vi to 20 per cent. Some domestic airlines have urged the CAB to ex- the long-range fares, which began last November, to pre vent some companies from suffering irreparable damage while the CAB is considering the issue. The new rates will remain in effect until the board rulei on the longer-range fares. SQUIRRELS ON THE LOOSE Atlanta (IP) A bunch of squirrels apparently went nuti in the home of Mrs. Ann Gabrielle.
