TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. February 13. 1958 Grants Pass. Craterl basketball Week End Crater and Grants Pass High schools, which clash in a week end Southern Oregon conference basketball series, will be hosts and guests in re verse of the. order listed earlier this week, it was learned yesterday. The Friday fracas will be at Central Point and the Sat urday event at Grants Pass Varsity games about 8:15 p.m will follow 6:30 p.m. prelimi naries between junior varsity quintets. The Comets and Cavemen switched home nights as an ac commodation to the district wrestling tournament being staeed at Grants Pass. Grants Pass holds second place in the conference stand ings and thereby paces the Skate Lead Taken Over By Jenkins Paris (IPl David Jenkins, the defending champion from Colorado Springs, Colo., was first and Tim Brown, Glen dora, Calif., second today after the first three compul sory figures in men's singles at the World Figure Skating championships. Jenkins, 21, led the field of 23 with 408.6 points after the morning competition at the Boulogne rink. Brown was second with 405.6. Bob Brewer, Alhambra, Calif., was eighth with 363 points. Alain Giletti, former Eu ropean champion from France, was third with 401.1. The last three compulsory figures' in the men's division were scheduled after lunch. The free skating section will be held Friday. Divin Fourth .After the morning action, Karol Divin of Czechoslo vakia was fourth with 386 points. He recently won the European championship. Tilo Gutzeit of Germany was fifth with 372.3 points; Don Jackson of Canada was sixth with 365.9 and Alain Calmat of France was seventh with 364.8. After Vrewer came Michael Booker of Eng land with 362.4. Norbert Fel singer of Austria was 10th with 361.8, Edward Collins of Canada was 11th with 351.6 and Charles Snelling of Can ada was 12th with 346.8. Snel-' ling has been the Canadian champion the past five years. "Jenkins trailed Brown after the first two figures but took the lead with superior skating in the third. '. Joey Giardelfo Earns Verdict Philadelphia OP) It may be April in Paris for Joey Giardello or a Philadelphia fight with Neil Rivers, but the fourth-ranking middleweight took a long-range view today tcj a summer bout for the championship. Giardello, who now has a run of 15 straight bouts with out a loss in his comeback following his bad-boy reforma tion, left-handed his way past tough but unranked Frank Szuzina, the transplanted Teu ton, now living on Long Is land, N.Y. Giardello won the unani mous decision over Szuzina in a nationally televised bout be fore 2.160 of his one-time home town fans. He now lives in Rosedale, also on Long Island. Joey has been offered, and may take, an April fight with Charles Humez in Paris, while his manager, Tony Ferrante, said he is in line for a sum mer bout with the winner of the Carmen Basilio-Ray Rob inson title fight. BOSOX SIGN ROOKIE Boston (W Ronnie Sta ples, a five-nine, 185-pound catcher from Presque Isle, Maine, has been signed by the Boston Red Sox organization and will report to the club's Southern association farm club in Memphis, Tenn. Sta ples played for Colby college in- Waterville, Me., the past three seasons. The familiar yellow canary is one of many species of the finch family. WORTS Opponents contention for the second of two District 6 berths in the A-l state tournament. The Cavemen can fortify their standing with a sweep and quite possibly can retain their position with split. On the other hand, while Crater is at the bottom of the heap, the Comets have the opportunity to rise into second place by taking both scraps from the Climate city boys. Frosh May Start Coach Don Anielak of the Comets indicated that he'll again call upon two freshmen for starting assignments. They are Bryson LaCasse and Loyal Higinbotham. Juniors Bill White and Wayne Allen likely will be in the opening crew with fifth man from among seniors Jerry Kime and Joe Teeter, junior Kerman Ben nett and sophomore Chuck Turner. Grants Pass starters may be Jim Smith, Paul Lindquist, Jerry Putnam, Dick Hayes and Mike Sparlin. The Comets and Cavemen divided in their last series, each winning on their home floor. Other conference activity has Ashland at Klamath Falls with the Pels favored but re membering a close call at Ashland. The Pels of KF have a commanding spread at the head of the loop while Ash land is knotted with Medford in third, a game behind Grants Pass. Medford's Black Tornado rests this week end. Radio, station KYJC will carry the Crater-GP game both nights. NIT Considers 21 Candidates New York OP) The Nation al Invitation Basketball tour nament is currently consider ing a list of 21 teams as candi dates for its 12-team hoop carnival. Nineteen of these schools, including such high-ranked cage powers as Oklahoma State, Notre Dame, and Seat tle, already have been sent "feeler" bids, according to Walter T. McLaughlin of St. John's chairman of the tour nament's selection committee, and a few teams may be add ed. The other feelers went to: Dayton, Evansville, St. Pet er's, St. John's Xavier of Ohio, Boston College, Bowl ing Green, La Salle, Marshall, Niagara, Pittsburgh, St. Bon- aventure, Manhattan, St. Jose ph's of Philadelphia, Ford- ham, and Villanova. The other two teams under consideration are the runner up schools in the Missouri Valley conference and the Skyline conference. HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE By United Press Even without his big brother's help, Henri Richard of the Montreal Canadiens is headed towards his first 30: goal season in the National Hockey league. Maurice Richard, sidelined since last November with a partially-severed tendon, has scored 30 or more goals in one season nine times during his illustrious, 15-year career with the flying Frenchmen. Henri never had scored more than 20 goals. However, he "scored his 23rd and 24th of the current campaign Wed nesday night as the Canadiens bombed the Toronto Maple Leafs, 5-2, and now has 16 games -in which to reach the 30-goal level. The Canadien's victory moved them 27 points ahead of second place New York. AMERICAN LEAGUE By United Press The Providence Reds, one of the easiest teams to score on in the American Hockey league,, also have one of the most potent offenses. The Reds gave up five goals to the last-place Buffalo Bisons Wednesday night, but two of them came after they had built up a comfortable lead for a 7-5 victory. The victory gave the third place Reds a four-point lead on the fourth-place Spring field Indians", who dropped a 5-2 decision to the fifth-place Rochester Americans. 4 226 East Main WEDNESDAY COLLEGE SCORES By United Press (East) Army 81, Amherst 75 Navy 98.

The Celtics, who took the Eastern lead right at the start of the season and haven't been out of first place since, racked up their nearest rivals, the Syracuse Nationals, 119-101, Wednesday night, while the Hawks; who have held almost as tight a strangle-hold on the Western lead, downed the De troit Pistons, 106-97. With a comfortable seven game lead, the Celtics need only nine wins in their re maining 16 games, provided the Nationals win all of their 14 remaining games, to clinch the Eastern title: The Hawks, who appear to have shaken a protracted slump which got to the point where owner Ben Kerner and coach Alex Hannum be gan shouting at each other, need 10 wins in their 15 re maining games t clinch the Western title, if the runnerup Cincinnati Royals win all of their 16 games. In the only other game played, the New York Knick erbockers rallied in the final period to beat the Minneapo lis Lakes, 106-97. Bowling LADIES LEAGUE Standings: - W.

I - - : -r-S V WINNING GIANT SLALOM title for women at Bad Gas tein, Austria, Lucille Wheeler, Canada, became double world's champion, (International Soundpfwto) Phoenix, Glendale Battle With Lone Championship Of Rogue Loop at Stake Prognosticators anticipate that the Rogue league cham pionship in basketball will be settled when two teams nick named Pirates collide Friday night at Phoenix. Phoenix high , will be host to Glandale for the 8 p.m. conflict. Victory is a must for either team if it is to have unshared title in the circuit. Phoenix with a 7-2 mark concludes loop play with the game. Glen dale with 6-2 now will have Illinois Valley yet to tackle on Feb. 21. IV and Glendale were to have met last Tuesday but postponement of that game was reported yesterday. The action was taken because of delay of the A-2 subdistrict tourney until the week end of Feb. 27. Bye Sought Eagle Point meets Illinois Valley at Cave Junction in this Friday's other Rogue brush and Rogue River vies at Brookings on Saturday. Brookings is still in the run ning for a tie in the final standings. Championship of the A-2 circuit will not qualify the holder for play-offs toward a state tourney berth. But the crown will have significance in addition to the honor and prestige. The Rogue titlist will draw the first round bye in the District 6 southern divi sion tournament. 1 Rogue clubs have two non- loopers this week end. Rogue River will entertain Medford junior varsity on Friday and Eagle Point will go to Jack sonville on Saturday. Veteran Teams The encounter at Phoenix will match two veteran aggre gations. Glendale has all its starters back from 1956-1957 season while Phoenix has four of its five starters plus addi tional lettermen. Possible starters for Coach Jack Woodward's Phoenix crew are Gary Simmonds, Lester Schleigh, Doug Witte, Jim Stout and Jim Heath. For Glendale Mentor Bob Stoltz may call on Kay and lom Gonzales Closes Net Tour Gap - Wshington (IB Pro tennis champ Pancho Gonzales, che ered by a spectacular victory at New York, is confident he will catch up with rookie challenger Lew Hoad of Au stralia during their two-night stand at Uline arena starting tonight. Gonzales ripped the sturdy Aussie, 7-9, 6-0, 6-4, 6-4, be fore a record tennis crowd of 15,237 at New York's Madi son Square Garden Wednes day night and moved into Washington trailing, only 9-7 in their 100-match world tour, After losing the first set, Pancho reeled off 10 straight games and turned the match into a rout. In the night's other matches, Tony Trabert of Cincinnati defeated Pancho Segura of Ecuador, 6-3, while Gonzales and Trabert teamed to de feat Segura and Hoad, 6-1, 6-4. -stag smoker: American Legion Hall GRANTS PASS.

SPORTS hunting & Fishing Southern (Oregon By MEL Winter steelhead season on the Rogue can now be placed in the same- niche with the past duck season, very bad. There were a lot of disap pointed fishermen . fellows who had pinned their remain ing hopes, after a slow fall season, on this last fling. Leave it to the weather to take care of the conservation angle. GOOD CATCHES Some good catches have been reported from the Illinois despite far from, ideal water conditions. The pot-holes below the falls have paid off via the "flat iron" method and one day at least they had a bon anza at the mouth of Rancheria creek. A game commission man checked 24 anglers one day and 20 of them had fish this is unusual. SMITH RAMPAGING The Smith river has pro duced well during the middle of the week but it seems that on Sunday it goes on a ram page. This past Sunday the water was fairly low at 7 a.m. in the morning but by 10 a.m. it had risen lVz feet and wasn't too clear. Despite this one party of three took eight fish (the limit is three in California). A rumor exists that there was one fish that weighed 22 pounds that was caught last week. It is known that there were two officially weighed in at 17V and 18V pounds, which are no minnows. The Smith didn't get too high so should be fishable barring another storm. Deer creek was running red mud by the first of the week but could get in shape by the week end so it wouldn't spoil the Illinois. ' All reports Indicate that there are enough fish in the Illinois if we can just get some good water to work in. USE RAG ON RIFLE During this slack season it might be well to remem ber to run an oily rag through the old deer rifle. Usually after the season the guns are cleaned and oiled and either hung on the rack or hid away in the closet. During this damp weather it is a good plan to check them once in a while for it is surprising how easily they can rust if they are not kept where it is dry. Never should a gun be put away in the case. A case is a great thing to carry the gun in to prevent damage to the scope and stock but the poorest stor age place in the world. Seems that the metal sweats in this closed place and many a fine gun has been rusted "red" by be ing left in a closed case. It is much better to leave the gun out in the open where it can adjust to the lemperature changes. An oily rag run through the bore and over the metal parts will keep that favor ite gun in top condition. REPAIRS NOW Another hint which will save a lot of hair-pulling later. Have any gun repairs done now. This is the slack sea son for the gunsmiths and they would welcome plenty of time to make these re pairs. It is surprising how many people do not take care of these things until the last three days before the opening of the season they all have to have the gun by "day-after-tomorrow!" and the gun smiths go crazy. Do it now and relax then. CLEAN LINE If you forgot and left your fin tapered line wound tightly on the reel better take it off, clean it and coil it loosely if you do not have a regular line drier. The coating on a tapered line can become tacky during the winter months and when they stick together, the line may b ruined. This k a good time to check the old flybox and m? i REES drop in a few moth crys tals. It is very disconcert ing to say the least to get out your tackle come the first of the trout season and find that the moths have grown fat on your fa vorite creations. CHECK FLYREEL These long winter evenings are good times to check the screws in your flyreel. If they have a tendency to work loose remove them and dip the tips of the screws in varnish or wax and replace. If you have a bamboo rod don't leave it in the case with the top screwed on. Some men have holes drilled in the top of the screw cap to let in the air. Better remoye the top so the air can get to the rod. A closed rod case will draw moisture and the glue won't stand this. These are but a few of the dozen things you can do in happy anticipation of summer and trout fishing. Conservationist Group Charges Herd Decimated Yreka, Calif. At least 75 per cent of the door herd in eastern Siskiyou county was wiped out during the 1956 either-sex hunt, according to the Northern Counties Wild life Conservation association. And, says association Pres ident Charles Bull, a study now being made of buck tags turned in after last fall's hunt will prove it. Bull was one of 26 associa tion members who spent much of last week end going over more than 4,000 tags, Results of the study, he said, will be known shortly and will show, among other things, in exactly what area each buck was killed. "Shooting of does and fawns came pretty close to wiping out the eastern Siski you herd," he said. Bull added, however, that the fish and game department plans to seek more either-sex hunts in Siskiyou County and throughout California this year. Morrow, Crow To Be Honored Dallas, Tex. (IP) Track ace Bobby Morrow and foot ball star John Crow get the highest accolades available to them as amateur athletes tonight. The Sullivan award, em blematic of the nation's out standing amateur athlete for 1957, goes to Morrow, recog nized king of the world's sprinters. The United Press awards i as the nation's football play er of the year, the back of the year and as an All-America back will go to Crow, who won those honors by sweep ing margins in balloting by the country's sports writers and sportscasters. Northern Africa's Sahara desert is the largest arid re gion in the world. 'Tin a fanner. To make my work pay, I've got to keep oa the lookout for im proved farming methods. Through Ad . vertising I can do this without leaving the farm. That saves valuable time. So I can honestly say I'm making my farm pay thanks to Advertising!" America ts a Better Coast Hoop Action Light By GENE BRYANT United Press Sports Writer The action is light on the Pacific Coast basketball front tonight to be heavy in the likely to be heavy in the Northwest where Elgin Bay lor and his Seattle university Chieftains go after Regis College. In recent games, the fabu lous Seattle forward has been pouring the ball through the hoop at a remarkable rate and the invaders from Denver can expect more of the same with the Western Regionals drawing nearer and the na tional college scoring cham pionship within Baylor's grasp. Regis brings an imposing 11-3 record to the Puget Sound city, compiled in part against some fairly strong teams, but whether they have something to stop the cannon ading of Baylor and company remains to be seen. Other games to the coast tonight will pit Fresno State against Los Angeles State in a California collegiate Atnie- tic association' contest and Se attle Pacific against Gonzaga at Spokane.
