With Phoenix the Rogue
league champion, it would be
natural to make the Pirates
of Jackson county the favor
ites in the District 6 A-2
southern division tourney
which opens Thursday at
Southern Oregon college in
Ashland.
However, a review of the
Rogue campaign shows a
close chase and points up that
three other teams must be
considered hot contenders for
the division banner. They
are Glendale, Brookings and
Eagle Point. And Henley,
from Klamath county, rates
as an "unknown."
Glendale opens the tourney
on. Thursday with a 6:30 p.m
brush with Rogue River. Oth

sus Henley at 7:45 p.m. and
Brookings against Illinois

will be on Saturday at 9 p.m.
after third place and conso

round tussle also will be
played on Friday and the I

Tornado Seeks to Boost
Scoring Strenght for GP
Two chances to one it will
be "make or break" in the
Friday and Saturday night
basketball series between
Medf ord and Grants Pass
high schools. j
If the Cavemen of GP re
serve their success of previ
ous encounters and sweep
both games from the Tornado,
they'll clinch second place in
the Southern Oregon confer
ence and gain a berth in the
state A-l tournament. If Med-
ford can come out on top in
both games, it will take over
second spot from the Climate
city boys but any cinching
still would have to wait a
week until the final series of
the season with other foes.
A split in the games Friday
night at Medford and Satur
day evening at Grants Pass
will preserve the Cavemen's
one game lead over the Tor
nado. The two tussles are still
rated toss-ups. Medford won
the previous contests this
year 46 to 40 and 43 to 42.
