On the other hand the Pelicans have the chance to toughen their present front- running status and push one of their leading challengers possibly back into third place. Other Friday competition in the league will have Crater hosting Grants Pass at Cen tral Point. Saturday contests are Crater at Medford and Ashland at Grants Pass. Crater Eyes Third GP, now third in the league, will be looking for' an oppor tunity to move at least up in to second in the circuit. But Crater is just a game back of the Cavemen and is bidding to pull up even with the Grants Pass quint. t Some Grants Pass backers are predicting a Klamath de cision over Medford and fig ure that the Cavemen will be knotted with the Black Tor nado in second spot when the week end is over. But the Tornado isn't con ceding yet to the Pelicans. Medford's hoop forces last week began to show marked and general team improve ment. This upsurge carried over last Friday night when the Tornado showed its best of the season in licking Grants Pass on the GP floor, Coach Frank Roelandt said last night that the improve ment has been continuing this week with the club more consistent in practice, sunning the outlook for this week end, But the Tornado still runs in to the loop's stiffest challeng es - that of meeting Klamath on the Pelican floor. Defense Toughened. All but Pete Rasmussen of the Tornado are in good phys ical shape, Roelandt stated. The back was troubling Ras mussen last week but he saw brief duty at Grants Pass, This time, however, Pete is "definitely out for a week or so. The Tornado has been toughening its defense for both Klamath and Crater and has been concentrating on its free shooting. "We have no place to go but improve," the coach remarked. The Pelicans reportedly have had Don DeLap and Jim Hall on the ailing list with colds. They have been going easy at it in practice but should be in shape for Friday night. Paul Bishop may be in suit for the Pels after a siege of mumps but is expect ed to see little if any action. Crater, which gave Grants Pass a tough first half prev iously, will be out to make it rugged all the way on Friday, 41 Competing In Thunderbird Palm Springs, Calif. - (LTD - Defending champion Ken Ven- turi and former champ Jimmy Demaret were installed as the favorites today as 41 selected professional golfers teed off in the eighth annual $15,000 Thunderbird pro-am tourna ment. Venturi and Demaret both play this course so well that the experts went ever the heads of such 1959 sensations as Art Wall, winner, of the Crosby tourney; Ernie Vossler, winner at Tijuana, and young John McMullin, a top money- winning threat in every tour ney this year. HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE 4 United Press International It took goalie Bob Perreault seven years to get his chance in the National Hockey league and he made the most of it when opportunity knocked. The chunky, 27-year-old net-minder was rushed into action for ailing Terry Saw- chuk Wednesday night and turned in a brilliant perform ance as the Detroit Red Wings beat the Chicago Black Hawks, 3-2, for their first win in 10 games. Perrault made a total of 21 saves several on shots that seemed certain goals. The victory kept the Red Wings one point ahead of the last-place Toronto Maple Leafs, who scored a 3-1 tri umph over the Montreal Ca nadiens in Wednesday night's only other game. . American League , Although Dune Fisher won't have another 40-eoal season this year, he is keep ing the Hershey Bears in the thick of the American Hock ey league pennant race with his timely scoring. Fisher, who has baseed at least 10 goals in each of the last three seasons, rammed in two goals, including the clincher, as the Bears beat the Providence Reds. 5-4. at Her shey in Wednesday nieht's only league action.

Medforlv Pitching Holds Key To Fate of Red Sox (This is the eighth of 16 dispatches by the major league managers giving mid-w inter appraisals of, their teams.) By MIKE HIGGINS Manager, Boston Red Sox (Written For UPI) Dallas, Tex. -(UPD - Pitching, just like last year, holds the key to the Red Sox' fate in 1959. Our pitching didn't come up to expectations last . season, whattwith Tom Brewer and Willard Nixon getting away to slow starts and Nixon eventually having to go home Alsea Hatchery Trying Trout Egg Incubation Portland The artif ical in cubation of trout eggs will get a tryout. in Oregon with the installation of a 100,000-egg capacity unit at the game com mission's Alsea hatchery. Chris Jensen, chief fish cultur ist for the commission, said that the unit will be instal led in time to incubate eggs from spring spawning steel head trout. Aritifical incubation of trout has been tested in sev eral other states, Jensen said, and if it proves successful at the Alsea plant, additional units may be given trials at other stations. The most important feature of the incubator unit is its thermostatic controls which regulate water temperature to any desired degree as it flows through the hatching -trays, With positive control of water temperature, hatch erymen will no longer have to contend wih the varying temperatures dictated by the whims of na ture, especially during the cold winter months when the bulk of hatching is under way. Jensen said the hatching time at game commission hat cheries varies anywhere from 45 days to as much as 9Vi months, depending on " the temperature of the water. Nor mally it takes about 50 days for trout eggs to hatch if the water temperatures remains at around 50 degrees. Warm er water shortens the hatch ing time, but as the tempera ture decreases the hatching time progressively increases. Lahouari Godih Scores Upset Washington -flIPD- Lahouari Godih, the spunky substitute who upset young Eddie Per kins in their TV fight, yelled today for a return bout with top lightweight 3 contender Kenny Lane. "Lane won a split decision over me on Nov. 7," said Al gerian Godih, former light weight champion of France, and I want another chance at him because I know I can beat him and jump into the ranking, up high." Meanwhile, 22-year-old Per kins of Chicago, who claimed he'd been the victim of a "bad decision," demanded a return bout with 29-year-old Godih. Eddie was favored at 3-1. Perkins, whose winning streak was broken at four straight bouts, insisted he had scored a clean knockdown over Godih in the ninth round, but that referee Charlie Reyn olds had lost him the fight by calling it a "slip" instead of a knockdown. Yet, Reynolds was the only official who favored Perkins in the 10-point voting. Wray, left, of Ashland, showed judged best "local" entry. The Tribune with his bad arm. At that, we finished third although Ike Delock's 14-8 won-loss record was the high est on the staff. He was JO-0 as a reliever, then slumped as a starter. Nixon still remains a Dig question mark, but we should get better performances from Brewer (12-12), Frank Sulli van (13-9), Dave Sisler (8-9) and possibly from Delock. Then, too, Ted Bowsfield, who beat the Yankees three times among his four victo ries, and Bill Monbouquette (3-3) could develop into start ers on the basis of what they showed last year after being brought in from Minneapolis, Others Show Promise And Herb Moford, whom we obtained from Detroit, is a better pitcher than his 4-9 rec ord with the Tigers would in dicate. He had six complete games among his 11 starts and had a 3.60 earned run average Frank Bauman, who wasn't at all consistent last season, could also come around and live up to the promise he showed in three real good games. Then, there's Murray Wall and Leo Kiely for good relief duty and a couple of promising lefties up from Memphis Dean Stone and Tom Bourland. Elsewhere, the Red Sox should have more punch than a year ago. . The reason should be . Vic Wertz, for whom we gave up Jim Piersall in a trade, and maybe Jim Busby, for whom we traded Billy Klaus. Wertz has had some fabu lous days-against us in Bos ton. Now, maybe we can get that help for our side. - We need help on the road. We couldn't win away from home last year, losing 52 against only 22 victories after nearly a 50-50 break the year before. . Wertz will go at first base with Dick Gernert, who hit .237 and drove in 69 runs, will back him up. And, if we need him, Pete Runnels can fill in there again as he did last year. But, we're counting on Pete, who lost the batting championship to Ted Williams on the final day, for full-time duty at second. Malzone at Third Runnels, who hit ,322 to Williams' .328, also can shift to third if necessary. But, Frank Malzone, who hit .295 and drove in 87 runs, played every inning at third last'year and isn't apt to need relief.. At short, Don Bud din should be over the rustiness acquired during two years in service and be more consist ent than last year. He should be a .260 or .270 hitter instead of .237. . Williams and Jackie Jensen, the RBI king with 122 and 35 home runs belying his .286 av erage, are fixtures in left and right field. And, Busby, a fine base run ner, might return to the form of two or three years ago with the change of scenery and improve on that .232 he had with the Orioles. He or Gene Stephens will be in center. Sammy White and Pete Daley return behind the plate and could get some stiff com petition from Haywood Sulli van if the youngster recovers from a disc operation that cut him down last year after a good spring. So, we shouldn't finish any lower than a year ago. And, if both Wertz and the pitching come through, we could be right in there battling for the No. 1 spot. , St. Mary's, Butte Falls Mix Friday St. Mary's and Butte Falls highs clash at Butte Falls on Friday night with the Cru saders trying to keep their lone Jackson County B Bas ketball league lead and un blemish record intact. The Loggers of the home court, at the same time, will try for first place deadlock in the loop. Prospect vies at Talent on Friday in the other league scuffle which takes the B cir cuit to its halfway point. Butte Falls is in second place in the league and lost its only game so far this sea son to the undefeated St. Mary's team. That final score was 41 to 36 after the Med ford club had run up mar gins of 13 points in the sec ond half. The , Loggers, ' with their tall man Raymond Abbott back and with action - on their home court, are expect ed to give St. Mary's a tough er challenge than it faced in the earlier mix in Medford. Abbott was sidelined by an ankle injury last time. Owners, Players Discuss Pro Footballer Pension By RUS GREEN United Press International Philadelphia UPD The Na tional Football League, its draft of 360 stars completed, met with the Players associa tion today to discuss the pen sion plan asked of the league by the pro gridders. - 17 The players, headed by end Billy Howton of Green Bay and attorney Creighton Miller, hailed the meeting as their "first direct contact" with the owners in their campaign which began in 1956 to pro vide a pension with health, accident, hospitalization and Mounties, Bears Head NCAA Spot New York (DPD West Vir- ginia and California, back seaters in the basketball point parade in recent years, stood out as the nation's major col lege leaders today. West Virginia, idle last week, gained the top spot among the offensive leaders through games of Jan. 20 when pace-setter Miami of Florida faltered badly. The Mountaineers' 85 points per game average is one bet ter than the 84.8 racked up by second place St. John's of Brooklyn, according to NCAA statistics.. The Miami Hurri canes, averaging 89.3 at the start of last week, were hard pressed in three games and dropped to third with 84.6. Cal Tops Defense California retained its first place defensive grip for the second straight week, allow ing opponents to score an av erage of 49.6 points per con test. The Bears are the only team to yield less than 50 points. Idaho State is runner-up with 51.8, while Stanford trails in third place with 53.4. Oscar Robertson broke out of a slump with 40 points against Drake last Saturday to give the Cincinnati junior an individual high of 32.5. The Bearcat All-American is traveling at a faster clip than 1958 when he accumulated the highest total ever tallied by a sophomore, 984 points and a 35.1 average.

Commissioner Bert Bell an nounced that "all of the own ers "said they would attend the meeting." The players said they hoped for the. appointment by Bell of a committee of owners "with the authority to act." The plan had considerable op position among the owners with the pertinent question "who will pay for it?" Bell's earlier opinion was "not the owners" as he cited that despite a record attend ance of more than three-million fans this year, two of the clubs lost money, one was' a borderline case and two were saved by big gates at the end of the season. Notre Dame passed the en acting tests of the pro critics most successfully Wednesday when 10 Irish gridders were tapped during the 26 round, 13-hour-long session. The Washington Redskins selected four, San Francisco took a pair of tackles, while New York, Philadelphia, the Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh all helped themselves from the Irish bench. Dick Loncar, choice of Pittsburgh,' played freshman ball at South Bend, is now in the Marine Corps and has three years of eligi bility left.

Because it gets almost hot enough to fry an egg on home plate when the midsummer sun is blasting the floor of the scooped-out Coliseum, the Los Angeles Dodgers have an nounced they will play a league record 63 games at night this year. That's a jump of 17 over the total of arc-lighters played by the Dodgers last year and represents most of the in increase of 22 night games in the league schedule announc ed today.

MS Buzz Bomb Trio Shines For Auburn United Press International Cincinnati has its Oscar Robertson. . . . Kansas State its Bob Boozer . . . and Au burn is doing quite well, thank you, with its "three mosquitoes." They're Henry Hart, Jimmy Lee and Porter Gilbert, three 6-foot, 1-inch guards who "buzz bomb" the opposition all night to make up for the fact that the Tigers have neither the ' height nor the bench strength of the nation's other top-ranked college bas ketball teams. And the record speaks for itself as to just how well they're doing. 12th of Season Already the nation's sixth ranked team. Auburn scored its 12th straight win of the season and stretched the na tion's longest major college streak to 23 games Wednesday night with a 66-55 victory over Georgia Tech. The score was tied 12 times and the lead changed hands seven times be fore the Tigers opened up a safe 10-point lead with two minutes left in the' game. St. Bonaventure is the only other major unbeaten team in the country. As so often happens, Au burn was out-rebounded, 36 t 33, but the harassing and out side bombing of the Tigers three guards overcame that handicap.
