Newspaper Page Text19 MAIt TRIBUNf. Madfar., Oregon, Tfcandiy. Ftfcnwry If, 15 Medford Fortifies For GrizzBies, CP Cavemen "We have to win both to . keep our heads above water. It will make it tough to lose even one." That's the way coach Frank Roelandt summed up the situ ation lor the Medford high basketball team in the midst of its preparations for two games on its home floor this week end. The Tornado is host to Ashland on Friday night and to Grants Pass on Satur day on the Hedrick Junior high court. In other week end hassles Crater goes to Klamath Falls on Friday and Ashland to Klamath on Saturday. Medford objective this week end will be to keep both in contention for the Southern Oregon conference and Dis trict 6 A-l championships and for one of the districts two berths in the state tourney. Klamath leads the league with one-game margin over Med ford and Medford has Just a half-game hop over Grants Pass. The chase, therefore still has dogfight status. The Black Tornado has the opportunity to open up a full two-game gap over the Grants Pass aggregation since the Cavemen have only one fracas this week end. Ashland and GP wins over Tornado, how ever, would put the Cavemen a full game ahead of Medford. Ashland and Medford will 'meet for the third time this season and Grants Pass and the Tornado for the fourth oc casion. It will be the last reg ular conference game of the year between Medford and GP. The Tornado is 2-0 so far with Ashland and 2-1 against GP. The Grizzlies of Ashland are out of the championship running and, therefore, some . of their incentive is missing. Yet, they can still play the ': role of spoiler and relish in it. Last season, Ashland was a wrecker of Medford tourney hopes by winning three of its four games with the Tornado. A win recently over Crater perked up the Grizzlies and 8-19-39 U A WHAT WAS THE FIRST ORGANIZED GOLF CLUB IN THE UNITED STATES?

UmpquaAngling Prospects Poor Portland -UPD- The weekly report on fishing conditions prepared by the State Game Commission: Southwest: Streams in Umpqua river systems are ex tremely muddy and dropping. Fishing has been poor. Wa ters of Tenmile outlet are in good shape but angling is slow. Striped bass fishing in Coos Bay area is poor. Co quille river angling prospects are poor. West fork Milk coma, Larson and Haynes sloughs are fair for steelhead. The rest of Coos river system is poor. TOURNEY STARTS Lake Worth, Fla. - (CPU -Louise Suggs and defending champion Marlene Bauer Hagge today led the way into the first round of the $7,500 Lake Worth Women's Open they made trouble for the Klamath Pelicans before bow ing last week end. That should indicate they'll be tougher for Medford. Grants Pass isn't counting on Ashland entirely to im prove the Caveman situation against Medford. The Cave men gamed the realization early in the season that the chances of the "Big Three" in the loop, Grants Pass, Medford and Klamath Falls, hinged on how they did against each. Tornado Condition Good Coach Roelandt pronounced his Tornado squad in good physical shape today with the exception of Ray Konopasek who is out of action because of a back ailment. The Tor nado. had hard drills both Tuesday and Wednesday. In the practice yesterday prao tice was mainly on defenses against both Ashland and Grants Pass. At Ashland coach Earl Iba said that his squad also is in tact and looking pretty good He indicated that the Griz zlies seem "up" better than most clubs in their situation are at this time of year. Coach Lloyd Hoffine at Cra ter said that the Comets are trying to figure out some thing to stop Klamath all- stater Bob Petersen from shooting and rebounding so much on the theory that as Petersen goes so go the Peli cans. Hoffine said that he will NW Court Leaders Vie Portland -UPD- Jackie Riley of Linfield, the top scorer in the Northwest Conference, is the man Willamette will be watching Friday and Satur day when the two teams meet in a home-and-home series with the loop title at stake. Riley has scored 206 points in 11 games and his deadly outside firing is probably the top reason Linfield heads the pack with a 9-2 record. Wil lamette is right behind with 9-3. The two teams play at Sa lem Friday and McMinnville Saturday. Whitman meets Pacific at Forest Grove tonight and Lewis and Clark in Portland Friday and Saturday nights.

Sickness and injury have somewhat hampered the Com ets. Tom White missed work Monday and Tuesday and Wayne Allen Monday because of illness. John Burns has a stiff knee as the result of an injury in the Medford game. Eagles Eye Rogue Title Opportunity Eagle Point - The Eagle Point High basketball crew was battling illness and work ing on defense this week as it girded for two tough contests in the final week end of regu lar Rogue league play. The Eagles meet Illinois Valley at Cave Junction on Friday and entertain Glen dale on Saturday. If EP wins both games, it will be league champion. However, IV can have the title by beating Eagle Point. Glendale is still in the posi tion for a tie for the crown and is host to Phoenix on Fri day. A three way tie would result if Eagle Point whips Illinois Valley and Glendale trims both Eagle Point and Phoenix. Should there be a three way knot, the clubs will draw lots. The school winning the draw will get first place and a berth in the District 6 A-2 play-offs. The other two would play on Tuesday at South Grants Pass Junior High for second place and the right to meet Henley for the southern division's second spot in the full district meet. Eagle Coach Tom Van Etten reported that Bill Hubbard, Bill Turner and Dick Wilson have been battling the sick ness bug this week end. Hub bard and Turner are senior veterans and Wilson is a fresh man being counted on for quite a bit of duty this week end. Basketball Fans Should Arrange Housing Early University of Oregon, Eu gene (Special) - Herb Olson, chairman of the Active club's housing committee for the 1959 A-l basketball tourna ment at McArthur court March 17-21, has urged both adult and student prep cage fans to make their housing plans as soon as possible. Olson said the Active club would again operate its hous ing bureau to aid in placing the fans in either hotels or motels in the area, or arrange for housing in private homes. The Active club housing office normally handles about 5,000 requests for housing and Olson urged that fans make arrangements as early as possible. All requests for information should be sent to the Active club office at the Eugene hotel. The demand for both adult and student tournament tick ets continued to be brisk af ter two weeks of operation, McArthur Court ticket offi cials said, and it appears the number of outstanding prep teams in the state this winter has stepped up interest in the tournament. Fans who desire to retain their previous tournament seats have been reminded the deadline for this service is March 3 and all advance ticket orders will be mailed on March 7. Central Point Slates Donkey Ball Contests Central Point - Crater High school and 1 Myers - Holland American Legion ' post , will sponsor donkey basketball competition at the Comet gym on Friday starting at 8 pan.

FACES PSC AT ASHLAND - Dave D'Olivo, above, will be one of the main hopes for keeping Southern Oregon title hopes alive in the Oregon Collegiate conference this week end. The Raiders meet Portland State on Friday and Satur day nights at Ashland. D'Olivo heads the OCC in scoring and rebounding and is an NAIA All-American nominee. Vikings N Split With Portland OIPD Portland State needs only a split in its week end Oregon Collegiate Conference series with South ern Oregon at Ashland Fri day and Saturday to give Coach Sharkey Nelson his third basketball title in six years. Southern Oregon must sweep the series to remain in contention. The Vikings are 10-1 in OCC play and South ern Oregon has a 10-3 record. SOC has only one game left after the upcoming series a return date with Oregon Tech at Klamath Falls next Wednesday. Portland State will not be at full strength for the series because of the loss of John Frederick, captain and team leader. Frederick is confined to bed with an illness not yet diagnosed by doctors. Top Rebounders Frederick is eighth in In dividual scoring with a 12 point average and is the most accurate free thrower in the OCC. The conference's lead ing rebounders will be in ac tion. Dave ..D'Olivo of SOC and Portland State's Bernie Jones top the department 150 for D'Olivo in 13 games Jack Sanford Giant Center Of Attention Phoenix, Ariz. (UPD Man ager Bill Rigney of the San Francisco Giants will prob ably rejoin the team Monday, according . to club owner Horace Stoneham. The skipper has been hos pitalized since he was hurt in an auto accident Feb. 8, but Stoneham said Wednesday he talked to Rigney by phone and found him anxious to join the team. The team had a sizeable workout Wednesday without Rigney, even though practice has not formally begun. Cen ter of attraction was Jack Sanford, key man in Giant pennant hopes. Limber - The 29-year-old right-hander looked loose and limber as he pitched batting practice. He admitted that he was more than satisfied with his first day's workout, commenting "I feel so good I'm scared." Sanford pointed out that he was now 21 pounds lighter than he was in the spring of 1958. He blamed last year's overweight condition for his disappointing 10-13 record, after he had earned rookie of the year honors in 1957 with a dazzling 19-8 mark.

This last week end was a perfect example of what drives a fisherman to rituals, good luck tokens, and a be lief in a jinx. The weather was wonderful through most of the week, leading the working man into the idea that the water would be just right when Saturday rolled around; then came Saturday and we got rain by the bucket and snow by the yard. The rivers got so muddy that if you threw a rock in one it would hardly make a splash. Why did it have to happen on the week end? Maybe it's the beard I'm rais ing. Maybe, if I cut it off, we would have good fishing for the rest of the month. Maybe I will! Water temperature was down to 35 degrees in the Rogue the latter part of .last week but the rains have brought it back up to where the fish are moving again. Unless weg et another cold spell the temperatures of the Illinois and the Applegate should improve the fishing on the week end coming up. GRAVEL OPERATION If anyone is interested in how Deer Creek got all tha mud it was throwing into th Illinois for the last two or three weeks, the guilty party has been found out. A Josephine county road crew had a gravel operation going in the bed of the creek and there was loos material washing down stream to give it that ugly brown color we all hate to see. WHO, WANTS PULP MILL? Members of the Jackson County Water Resources com mittee who met in the court house last Friday night were almost unanimous in expres sing the opinion that they did not want a pulp mill in the Rogue river basin. Pulp mills still pollute air and water add this valley would be a miser able place to live in with air polluted by a pulp mill, However, the members could not agree on whether or not the Rogue should be opened to industrial use of its waters. If Senate bill 183 is passed, there is a good chance we will get a pulp' mill and so it would seem there are some who don't know what they want. PROCEDURE TOLD According to a member of the State Water Re sources board, this is what would happen if Senate Bill 183 is passed: If a pulp mill applied for a water right, a permit to use the water would be issued by the board only if the mill signed an agreement to abide by the restrictions of the permit. The restrictions would include pollution controls set by the State Sanitary Authority (this is required by law), a bond posted in case of violation of the pollution controls, and a loss of the water right in case of violation. Pollution controls would require that the water be returned as -cold or colder and as pure as when it was taken from the river. Cri minal action against the violator also could be in stigated and the water right would be withheld if the stream flow fell below 525 cubic feet per second, which is the amount guar anteed to the fishery. THE CATCH This may sound fine until k Gji Tanks Outside Cab ir Driver Adjusts Emergency Brake Tfc- Electric Wipers it is noticed that only the pollution controls are re quired by law, while the oth er conditions are to be set by the board. The catch is that no one knows just what con ditions will be set by the board! They haven't decided for sure and we are a little afraid to leave the decision up to them. Now, if the conserva tionists and sportsmen seem to have their guard up as though they are ready for some hard fighting, it's only because they've gotten so many low blows in the past. They hope the board means well by the Rogue, only they are not sure it can be trusted. STEELHEAD A GAMEFISH There is a bill before the legislature which has the purpose of making the steelhead a game fish. The bill if aimed at eliminating fishing for steelhead in the Columbia river by commer cial fishermen. Under the provisions of the bill, 75 per cent of what the com mercial fishermen get for the steelhead they catch will be turned over to the Game commission as part of the game fund. By malc inf the steelhead a money losing proposition to the commercial fishermen, it is hoped they will concentrate on catching salmon. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER The weatherman - doesn't sound very encouraging re garding the weather this coming week end. Tempera. tures and precipitation above normal. sounds as though our angling spirit may be damp ened. Maybe he'll be wrong and the streams will get back into shape again. BEST FISHING ' The Applegate should be getting in the big run of fish that - usually arrive sometime during the last part of February or first of March. This is a late run of winter fish and due any time from now on. This ri ver should be the best bet for this next week end. WORK DEEP HOLES The Illinois fishing has been spotty for a couple of weeks and with the low temperature of the water last week there is a chance that the run of fish due during the first of the month haven't arrived yet. However, if they were in the river at the time of the storm last week they ought to be well up the river now. Let's hope they are still down below. . If water temperatures stay What is the most powerful advertising force in existence? - ONE OF , 8 6 R I E I Bout Won By Liston By ANDREW J. FREESE JR. Miami Beach, Fla. (UPD Heavyweight contender Sonny Liston, with 16 straight vic tories under his belt, apolo gized today for uppercutting Mike DeJohn while he was "down," and yelled for a fight with a higher ranking con tender. I want E4die Machen. Zora Folley or Nino Valdes for my next fight," declared Liston of Philadelphia, who floored DeJohn of Syracuse, N. Y., twice Wednesday night with solar-plexus punches for technical knockout in the sixth round of their TV fight. After Referee Jimmy Peer less had stopped the bout at 2:43 of the sixth session be fore 3,858 at the Miami Beach Exhibition hall, the fight was almost resumed in DeJohn's corner. Swing and Miss When the victorious Phila- up fishermen can expect to find fish by working away from the deep holes toward the upper and lower ends of the runs or-riffles. GOOD LUCK!

Mike called Lis ton a name. Liston swung at him and missed. Then their handlers separated them. Liston, weighing 20914 pounds and standing 6-feet-l, admitted later, "Yes, I up percutted him all right; but I didn't know he had a knee on the floor. I thought he was just squattin' like he did a couple times earlier.
