COMPARE AT 8.95 Big Men Bolster GP For Bedford Tussle All indications are that the Medford Black Tornado will have its hands full tonight in Southern Oregon conference basketball contention. Seeing its only rivalry of the week end the loop-heading- Tornado encounters the Cavemen at Grants Pass. Medford needs a triumph to hang onto its top position while GP is aiming to rise from its present third place status. The hard fought battle be tween the two clubs last week end and developments at Grants Pass during the past week provide the evi dence that the Cavemen in tend to give Medford a whale of a battle this evening. Word out of Grants Pass from Coach Gordon Prehm yesterday was that the Cave men have been strengthened by the return of both Jerie Putnam and John Fox. The two, who have been sidelined by injuries, are each 6-3 and the ' tallest among the top men on the squad. Prehm pointed out that the Cavemen "shot with Medford" last Friday but couldn't match the Pear city team in re bounding. Therefore, the two big boys should help this time. Best of Season The Climate city mentor also declared that his crew had its best practices of the season this week and are stronger now than at any pre vious time. ' . At the Medford tschool Coach Frank Roelandt acknowledged that Grants Pass "will be really ready and we know we'll be in for something, tonight. He said that Ken Durkee may get a starting call tonight in a move to give the Tornado more mobility. Rest of the line-up could be Jerry Ander son, Lowell Dean, George Koch and Don Peek. Among for Spring 4 99 MEDFORD those who could see quite a bit of service are Booth Dea kins, Jerry Shults, John Har vey and Cal Dean. The club is at full strength. Tornado concentration this week has been on defense against a Grants Pass offense which moves the ball well and keeps the opposition hustling. The Medfordites also- will be out to make then own offense consistent in stead of spurty like it was last week. Medford holds . two deci sions so far this campaign over Grants Pass. Scores were 57 to 41 at Grants Pass and 59 to 54 here. Grants Pass has the heavy assignment in the loop this week. The Cavemen travel to Klamath Falls on Saturday to oppose the second place Peli cans. They are hoping for at least a split in the week end action. Prehm reported that GP has mapped a new de fense to put up against Klam ath and may try it against Medford. Starters Uncertain Whether the GP mentor will have his two big men in the starting five tonight, was uncertain this morning. The choice for the opening quint is among Putnam, Fox, Rex Benner, Johnnie Olson, Rod ger Burton, Rick Sabin, Mike Leonard, Dick Hayes and Marvin Chandler. Putnam has been working with the tape removed from his ailing back in the latter part of the week and is a good starting possibility. Fox has been wearing a large brace on his knee. The Cavemen gave Med ford plenty of trouble last week even without their two big men. Tonight's mix will see four of the conference's top four scorers in action. Medford's Anderson is tied for the lead with Bob Petersen of Klam ath. Each has 135 points and a 16.9 average. Olson is third in the loop with 116 average and 14.5 per game. Lowell Dean is fifth in the loop with 90 points and Benner is sixth in point total but his average is better than Dean's with 12.5 for seven frays to the Medfordite's 11.2 for eight. G TP At.
