MEDreRIMiftlWrRIBUNl siPdDHBTrs Grants Pass Beats Ashland High 55-28 Grants Pass - Grar is Pass High, which , topped Crater with two Caveman regulars absent on Friday, had a third first stringer missing here on Saturday night but still had plenty to whip Ashland 55 to 28 in a Southern Oregon con ference basketball game. By the decision Grants Pass took lone second spot in the league standings. Taking advantage of cold Ashland shooting, the Cave men broke away from a 7 to 4 first quarter bulge to lead 23 to 8 at the half. Third quarter standing was 32 to 16. Johtmie Olson had 16 points for Grants Pass and Rick Sabin 12. Don Taylor was high for Ashland with nine. The Grizzlies went scoreless for four and three minute stretches in the second quar ter. After closing to 6 to 7 in the panel, they saw GP go to a 16 to 6 lead. Then it was 18 to 8 before the Cavemen added another five before the midway horn. Got Good Chances Ashland was getting good shots but just couldn't make the ball go through. The Grizzlies made only three field goals in 25 attempts and two free shots in 11 tries in the first half. Free shots helped Grants Pass pad its spread in the last quarter. For the second game of the week end Grants Pass was without the services of their biggest men John Fox and Jerry Putnam, out with knee and back ailments, respective ly. Rex Benner apparently suffered a concussion some time in the Crater scrape on Friday and did not play on Saturday. Grants Pass took the jun ior varsity opener 39 to 36.

All of the top 10 rated teams will see action at least once and only a few upsets could cause mighty upheavals in the national rankings. The week's activity starts tonight with first-ranked Ken tucky going for Rupp's 599th win against Georgia Tech, third-ranked Kansas State facing Iowa State, fifth-ranked Cincinnati playing Drake and ninth-ranked Bradley meeting Detroit. There's the possibility of that big No. 600 for Rupp when Kentucky plays Georgia Thursday night - the night on which rapidly-improving St. John's faces perhaps its big gest test of the season against St. Louis university at St. Louis. And then there's a big week end wrapup during which the Atlantic Coast con ference's twin powers - second-ranked North Carolina and fourth-ranked North Carolina State - return to ac tion and sixth-ranked Auburn puts its 24-game winning streak on the line against Vanderbilt. Auburn emerged as the na tion's only major unbeaten team when it beat Georgia, 81-61, Saturday night and St. Francis, Pa., upset previously unbeaten St. Bonaventure, 92-81, at Altoona, Pa. Only three other teams among the top 10 saw action Saturday and all won. Cin cinnati crushed Xavier of Ohio, 92-66, as Oscar Robert son scored 38 points; St. John's blasted St. Francis, N.Y., 91-44, and seventh ranked Michigan State took over the Big Ten lead with an 82-76 conquest of Minnesota.

But Tebbetts said after re turning with owner Lou Pe rini from Chicago, where Mc Hale was signed, that the Braves want McHale "to be another Gabe Paul in the Na tional league."
