8 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medforo, Oregon, FrMy. January 30. 1959 Grizzlies, Cavemen On Tornado Slate; Pelicans at Crater "They're due and I hopci It's not against us." I Those were the words of Coach Frank Roelandt as he and his Medford high cagers awaited their encounter with the Ashland Grizzlies this evening in Ashland. The game is one of two Southern Oregon conference hoop frays slated for the Black Tornado this week end. Medford is host to Grants Pass on Saturday night at the Hedrick gymn. In ton'ght's other league scrape Crater faces Klamath Falls at Central Point. On Saturday Ashland will go to Klamath Falls. Roelandt'9 comment both pointed to the Ashland rec ord for the season and served as a warning t) the Tornado squad. The Grizzlies will be out this evening to make 13 a lucky number. They have yet to taste victory in 12 games this season, including Duden Ties For 1st at San Diego San Dieeo. Calif. -(0PB The San Diego Open golf tourna ment, featuring 50 oi me on top money winners of 1958, moved into the second day of competition today with a fond sprinkling of the usual also-rans battling for the lead ership. Tied with the well-known Mike Souchak for the lead is Bob Duden, a non-winner from Oswego, Ore. They each have seven-under-par- 65's on the Mission Valley course that figures as a setup for the star shotmakers. And within two strokes of the leaders are such compar ative unknowns as Buddy Sul livan, Yuba City, Calif.; Joe Campbell, Knoxville, Tenn.; Bob Frainey, Wilmette, 111.; and Felice Torza, Aurora, I1L Anthony, Vargas In Video Fight New York-flJPD-It will be matador-vs.-the bull tonight when slender Tony Anthony, too lieht heavyweight con tender, faces Reuben Vargas, stocky heavyweignt slugger, in their TV fight at Madison Square Garden.

The Tornado mentor acknowl edged the possibility of upset of his league leaders by coach Earl Iba's Lithian crew. Such a thing "can happen very easily," he pointed out. Press and Stall The Tornado tutor has given his club considerable work this week on pressing defensive play and ball con trol or "stall" type offense with the units on the floor adopting these tactics ' in scrimmage .It makes for good ball handling, Roelandt point ed out. Probable Medford starters are Jerry Anderson, Lowell Dean, George Koch, Both Deakins and Don Peek with Ken Durkee, John Harvey, Jerry Shults and Calvin Dean among those possibly seeing a good amount of service. Line up against Grants Pass could depend a lot on performance tonight. For Ashland Iba may open with Jim Bjork, Bob John son, Clark Smith, Don Tay lor and Doug Forrest but has indicated that another unit could be used with a platoon system being employed. The other platoon would be picked from among Steve Gray, Bob Hardy, Dennis Johnson; Gerald Allen, Pete Stemple and Alan McKinnis. Word from Grants Pass is that' the two biggest Cave men Jerry Putnam and John Fox won't see duty against Medford because of ailments which kept them out of last week ends games. Rex Ben ner, who missed the Crater mix last Saturday and has been troubled by numbness in his hands, is scheduled to play. Other possible starters are Johnnie Olson, Mike Leonard, Dick Hayes and either RodgefBurton or Rick Sabin. Coach Don Anielak has in dicated that the Crater line up against Klamath will be named from among Loyal Higinbotham, Dennis Pfaff, Bill: White, John Burns, Wayne Allen and Chuck Turner. If the Pelicans have 'suffi ciently recovered from the bad colds that reportedly plagued them last week men tor Dean White should start with Jim Hall, Bob Lewis, Bob Peterson, Don DeLap and Dean Dunson. Pelicans Rested With the' exception of Paul Bishop, the Pelicans had last Monday and Tuesday off from drills. White said that the days off were propted from need of the squad to rest and that his club was not taking Crater and Ashland likely. Bishop has been working to get back in trim after four weeks of inactivity because of a bout with mumps. Medford is aiming to keep its league lead this week, end while Grants Pass shoots for a tie for first while Klamath's aim is to keep in the running and at the most restore a tie for front running. Varsity games tonight are billed for around 8:15 after 6:30 p.m. junior varsity hassles. Tie Narrowed In Junior Loop First Baptist knocked Meth odist out of a first-place tie in the YMCA senior high church basketball league with a 37-to-22 win last night. First Christian remained knotted with the Baptists aft er a 37-to-31 decision over Phoenix Presbyterian. Frank Peterson put in 33 points for the Baptists and Tom Manley had 11 for Chris tian. Dillree piled up 21 for the Phoenix team. First Christian held on to second spot in the junior high league with a 58-to-12 triumph over the Methodists. Ron Gan dee paced the win with 16 markers. The St. Mark's Episcopal-First Baptist fray was postponed. Centennial Ski Jump Scheduled Portland Spectacular ski jumping will highlight sports events kickoff of the Oregon Centennial celebration when Cascade ski club sponsors the Oregon Centennial ski jump ing championships Sunday, Feb. 15. at Multorpor hill on Mount Hood.' Ski jumping will be the fea ture spectator event of the Mount Hood all-skiing week end combining the collegiate winter carnival, hosted by Portland State college and the War West Kandahar downhill and slalom sponsored by Schnee Vogeli ski club. Some 40 jumpers are ex pected to compete. JUMP SHOT A variety of action, reac tion, and expression resulted when John Harvey, Medford, attempted this jump shot in last Saturday night's hoop contest with Crater High. Tom White (20) of the Comets leaps in effort to check the try while John Frohnmayer of Medford drives for the bas ket. Partially blocked from view by Harvey is Crater's Chuck Turner. Number 24 is Russians Indicate Forfeiture Santiago, Chile-TOPD-If the unbeaten Russians don't take the court tonight, the United States team that the Soviets s'oundly trounced can clinch the World Basketball cham pionship. Russia was scheduled to meet Nationalist China to night in its final game in the final round of the world tournament-but the Russians have .insisted they won't take the court against a country they claim doesn't exist. This refusal was repeated Thurs day by Sergai Bessenov, presi dent of the Russian Basketball federation. That would mean a Russian forfeit-and force the Soviets to end the tournament with 10 points under the point sys tem used here instead of a possible 12. A team gets two points for a win, one for a loss, and none for failure to play. Can Finish With 11 The United States, which increased its total to nine points by coming from behind to beat Chile Thursday night, 64-55, can finish with a total of 11 points by beating Brazil tonight. . , Brazil, on the other hand, could win the title with 11 points by beating the United States tonight and Chile Sat urday on the final day of the tournament. The Chilean newspaper, "El Mercurio" pointed out that the Russian team is virtually the same one which competed in the 1956 Olympics and took an 89-55 beating by the U.S., but the Air Force team here "is far" from the strongest the United States could as semble if it wished. Grade School Jayvees Tussle Jefferson defeated Roose velt 21 to 19 and Lincoln won 30 to 14 from Jackson yester day in city grade school Na tional league junior varsity basketball games. In the American league St. Mary's tripped Oak Grove 28 to 12 and West Side whipped Wilson 32 to 12. Washington subdued Hoov er 38 to 14 in a non-league mix. HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE United Press International Gritty goal-tending by Ter ry Sawchuk enable the De troit Red Wings to snap the Montreal Canadiens' 16-game unbeaten streak on their Rome ice Thursday night in the only National Hockey league ac tion. Back in action after missing three games with a shoulder injury, Sawchuk suffered a five-stitch cut over his left eye in the opening period but shook off the mishap to pace the Red WingSi to a 4-1 tri umph. It was the Wings' first vic tory over Montreal in their last 14 meetings and carried them into fourth place in the league standings. SENIORS MEET Dunedin, Fla. -(CPU- Second round action was scheduled today in the 50 to 54 age division of the 20th annual PGA Seniors Golf champion ship. Jack Isaacs, Langley Air Force Base, Va., leads this di vision with a record low first round score of 66. One stroke behind in second place is Dick Metz, Fort Worth, Tex. The 55 and over division com pleted its second round Thurs day with 60-year-old William Goldbeck firing a 69 to go with his first round 71 for a 140 total and first place. Wayne Allen of Crater and No. 30 is Calvin Dean of the Tornado. Between the latter two are George Ice (in white uniform) of Medford and John Burns of Comets. Med ford won 78 to 50. Medford has two games this week end, going to Ashland tonight and facing Grants Pass here Saturday. Crater entertains Klamath Falls at Central Point tonight. MedforbWTwbune Kentucky Coach Reaches 600th Victory Milestone United Press International Old Adolph Rupp was a cinch to do it. The coaches of other sports at the University of Kentucky were so sure of it they went out and had a silver pitcher engraved in ad vance so they could present it to him as soon as the game was over. The inscription read: "To Coach Adolph Rupp, on the occasion of his 600th victory, Jan.' 29, 1959." Rudd. who was given the pitcher and other gifts in cer emonies immediately follow- McLoughlin Mat Victor McLoughlin Junior high wrestling team wrapped up its dual match campaign un beaten yesterday and now looks forward to its, title de fense in the Southern Oregon conference freshman tourna ment on Feb. 6 and 7 in Grants Pass. The Bulldogs tallied their sixth team victory of the sea son with a 32 to 12 margin over Hedrick. While McLoughlin won seven of the actual bouts to Hedrick's four, the score didn't show the closeness of the scraps since most of the engagements were won by close or fairly close decisions. The Hornets forfeited the 87- pound clash to the Bulldogs, lacking an opponent for Mc- Loughlin's Al Smith. Closest decision was Jim Dexter's 2 to 0 nod on a sin gle reversal for McLoughlin over Hedrick's Norm Olson. RESULTS: 87 Al Smith.

PORTLAND TOURNEY Portland - Portland Rifle and Pistol club will hold its 43rd annual gallery rifle tour nament on Feb. 21 and 22.' It will be a National Rifle association-registered meet open to any NRA member. Advance entries are wanted but are not compulsory and post entries will be taken until the first relay of the match or limit of teams Saturday or 105 indi viduals Sunday. 3 I ing the 108-55 triumph of his nationally top-ranked Wild cats over Georgia Thursday night, realized at once that the engraving must have been done some time ago. "You fellas," said the man in the brown suit with a fa miliar gleam in his eye, ''sure were optimistic." Easy Romp Thursday night's win, an easy romp in which Kentucky held a 61-25 half time lead, gave Kentucky a 16-1 record for the season. And it also gave Rupp a measure of long delayed revenge, for way back when he started as coach at Kentucky in 1930 it was a Georgia team that dealt him his first defeat. Rupp, who now has . an overall record of 600 wins and 104 losses, thus joins only three active coaches in the 600-plus category Ed Diddle of Western Kentucky, Hank Iba of Oklahoma State, and Ed Adams of Texas Southern. Forrest (Phog) Allen, retired Kansas coach who once tu tored Rupp,. holds the record with 729 wins and 209 losses. Golf Defenders Have Close Call Hollywood, Fla.-(UPD -Mary Ann Downey of Baltimore, and Marjorie Lindsay of De cature, 111., the defending champions, tee off against lesser-known rivals today in the second round of the Hol lywood women's four - ball golf tournament. Miss Downey and Miss Lindsay, who are looking for their third straight Holly wood championship meet Mrs. William Hartson, Piedmont, Calif., and Frances Rich, Bainbridge, Ga. The defending champions had to come from behind on the back nine in the first round to eliminate Shirley Lindsay, Marjorie's younger sister, and Joan Burke, Holly wood, Fla. Land Leveling Equipment For Rent Delivered SP 2-5271 Crater High Frosh Trip Hedrick 9th 'Central Point-Central Point aggregations won two of their three basketball games with Hedrick Junior high of Med ford teams here yesterday. Crater high freshmen won 52 to 39 from the Hornet ninth grade and Central Point Junior high seventh graders nipped their Hedrick counter parts 24 to 22. Hedrick eighth topped Central Point 40 to 33. The Comet ninth lagged in the early portion but used a fast break in the second half and its greater strength under the backboards to take control. Hedrick led 15 to 10 at the quarter but Crater was ahead 22 to 21 at the half. At the three-quarter pause the Comet margin was 37 to 29. Eaton Has 12 Scott Eaton of Hedrick was high point man with 12. He scored 11 in the first half. John Champ spurred Crater with 10 points and his strong board work and Bob Christie with nine points turned in a fine driving game. The Com ets hit 19 of 5S for .339 from the field while Hedrick shot 15 of 54 for .278. Hedrick eighth headed 10 to 5, 21 to 11 and 31 to 25 in its tangle. Louis Alvarez potted 20 points for CP. For the Hornets Gib Mitchell had 16 and Don Anderson, with eight markers, was credited with a fine job in his first start. Seventh grade count was 2-all and Hedrick was on top 10 to 8 at half time.

West Hoop Menu Light United Press International Tonight's West Coast bas ketball menu is comparative ly light since students at many schools are relaxing after midterm examinations, but there is still a tasty and varied bill of fare for cage gourmets. Lone Pacific Coast confer ence action pits Stanford (4-3) and Oregon (1-3). A victory for the short but hustling Card quintet would place it only a half-game behind league - leading UCLA (5-2). The Bruins face Santa Bar bara in a non-league game to night. In Honolulu; Southern Cal ifornia will be out to avenge an upset at the hands of the upstart University of Hawaii. The Trojans had rolled over the Rainbows in two main land contests, but Wednesday night the Rainbows prevailed 60-56. No other PCC team does battle tonight, but Saturday Oregon faces Oregon State, Washington hosts Stanford in a crucial clash, California faces 'a tough non-league foe in Santa Clara, and USC and Hawaii square off for a fifth time. West Coast Athletic confer ence action tonight is limited to a contest between College of Pacific and San Jose State. CONCRETE C? 248 E. McAndrews Rd. Orioles Should Be Improved Over 1 958 (This is the last of 16 dispatches by major league managers giving mid-winter appraisals of their teams.) By PAUL RICHARDS Manager, Baltimore Orioles (Written for UPI) Scottsdale, Ariz. -(UPD- The Orioles of 1959 should be vastly improved over the 1958 team and a season rela tively free of injuries to key performers could give us a real shot at the first division. We figure to be improved for the following reasons: 1. The acquisition of vet erans Chico Carrasquel, Bob by Avila, Jim Finigan and Billy Klaus have added con siderable punch to the infield -a factor which was practi cally non-existent last year. 2. We seem to have found a centerfielder in Willie Tas by who can both hit and field and should help give us our best all-around outfield since Baltimore returned to the ma jors in 1954. 3. Our pitching should rank with the best in the American league. St. Mary's, Jacksonville 'B' Rivals Jackson County B league basketball action will be seen on a Medford floor this eve ning. Jacksonville vies at St. Mary's. The other hassle in the circuit will be Butte Falls at Prospect. Unbeaten St. Mary's and Butte Falls, running No. 1 and No. 2 in the league, each have two previous triumphs over this evening's rivals. No part of England is more than 100 miles distant from a seacoast. with '.JAHUARYfflHIT.ES iff Igggi vmib nAuiLirnKki lU - IWUK UUVrM I w VV V CHARGE-PLATE 4. Brooks Robinson, with a year of major league experi ence under his belt, could achieve stardom. Let's break down the team into its component parts and analyze them. Rotation List There's the outlook for strong pitching with a possi ble starting rotation of Jack Harshman, Milt PaDDas. Billv O'Dell and Arnold Portocar- rero. Hal Brown and Hoyt Wilhelm are available for spot starting as well as relief. The emergence of Wilhelm as a starter late last season gave a big lift to the staff. Ernie Johnson and George Zuverink help round out a capable bull pen. If Connie Johnson and Billy Loes regain their 1957 j form, the staff could boast as j much depth as any in the' majors. Our catching is solid and experienced with Gus Trian dos and Joe Ginsberg. Tri andos is a big RBI man over the long haul, with Ginsberg at his best handling spot as signments. The infield should be vast ly improved. Kalus, Avila, Carrasquel and Finigan plus Robinson, Willie Miranda, Bob Boyd and Willie Gard ner give us great depth and versatility in this- department. Dark horse Ron Hansen should make veterans extend themselves at shortstop. Tasby, Gene Woodling, Bob Nieman and Gene Green give ample opportunity fpr pla tooning and also for an "of fensive outfield" as well as "defensive" outfield in late innings. Rookie Leo Burke could make his presence felt with a good spring training showing. I'm not one for making astonishing predictions but I believe the talent and depth of our squad means we're going to have a successful season.
