Two Jayvees May Ce Moved Up for Bedford Tussle at KF; Ashland, Crater Tangle . Bob Quinney and Darrell Miller may be brought up to the Medford high basketball varsity for the Saturday night conflict at Klamath Falls. That was the report this morning of Head Coach Frank Roelandt. They would provide more height on his squad for countering the tall Pelican front line. It was not definite that the move would be made but the illness of George Koch, 6-3 senior and one of the Tor nado's leading rebounders, may prompt the action. Koch missed yesterday's drill be cause of sickness and attend ed school only a half day: Medford has some good height with Koch, Jerry An derson and Lowell Dean all around 6-3 but Klamath Falls has Bob Petersen - and Bob Lewis at 6-5. The Tornado, therefore, needs all the height it can. muster, particularly to stop Petersen. Quinney and Miller, who have been play ing jayvee ball, are 6-2 or 6-3 performers. They are expect ed to see jayvee action tomor row whether or not they suit down with the varsity. Grants Pass at Crater A sophomore game also is billed between Medford and Klamath hoopmen. Medford has only the one week end game. Klamath is playing at Grants Pass to night and Crater at Ashland. On Saturday Crater is host to Grants Pass at Central Point. The Black Tornado and Klamath can both clinch state tourney berths this week end. 'Klamath will do it with one victory in its two games. Medford will try for a win over the Pelicans and hope they trip Grants Pass. Ashland and Crater are far out of the running in the loop but their game tonight could provide plenty of en tertainment for fans. Each of their three previous scraps have ended with only two points difference. One game went overtime.

Ashlands' nod over the Com ets is its only triumph this year. Ashland Coach Earl Iba re ported that Dennis Johnson, a reserve, was his only ailing player. He has the flu as well as a turned ankle. Iba said that he planned to use Bob Hardy in quite a bit of to night's action. Hardy has come along in the late season and he and. Doug Forrest are the only members of the crew who will be back next sea son. Hardy may spell Clark Smith quite a bit. Smith has has had his teeth worked on this week and is not com pletely up to physical par but "can go if he has to." Weather, Flu Bug Squaw Valley Worry . By HAL WOOD Squaw Valley, Calif.-(UPB-Weather and the flu bug were the main worries today as the world's greatest speed skaters and cross-country skiers poised for the opening of their international competition on Saturday. The flu bug already has hit nearly 200 of the popula tion of 1,000 in Squaw Valley. And the weather man, who has come up with brilliant, sunny days for a week, now forecasts possible "rain and snow showers." The sun has been so hot for the last several days that it boiled some of the snow off the cross-country course at nearby McKinney Creek. Thursday night and this morn ing trucks dumped tons more of the hard-packed snow on the course and then stamped it down with tractors. The big American hope in the 500-meter speed skating event is Don McDermott, the flash from Cliffside Heights, N. J. - if he recovers from a slight entanglement with the flu. His clocking of 40.5 for the distance the other day was one of the finest in his tory. "But any one of a half dozen men could win it," said Coach Eddie Schroeder of the U.S. Olympic team. The favorite in the 500 meters will be Genadii Voron in, the world's champion from Cousy Betters Mikan's Total United Press International Bob Cousy, having passed George Mikan's scoring total, now is setting his sights on Dolph Schayes' still - soaring all-time record in the National Basketball association. Cousy became the second highest scorer in the NBA with 11,778 points 14 more than Mikan's career total Thursday night as Boston de feated the Philadelphia War riors, 125-109, in the opener of a Syracuse doubleheader. Schayes, in his 11th season of pro ball, scored 31 points to lead the Syracuse Nationals to a 130-111 upset win over the St. Louis Hawks in the second game. The former NYU star's point spree raised his lifetime total to 13,944. At Louisville, Ky., Jack Twyman and Jack McCarthy of Cincinnati combined to edge the Detroit Pistons, 106-101. LONG TERM PACT Columbia, Mo. -OIPD- Young Dan Devine, whose razzle dazzle multiple offense brought new enthusiasm to these conservative Ozark foot hills, today signed a new eight-year contract as head football coach of the Univer sity of Missouri. Russia. ' , In the 5000-meter event, the betting would place Knut Joahanesen of Norway, Eu ropean all-around champion at the top. America's No. 1 entrant is Floyd Bedbury of St. Paul, Minn. In the 30 kilometer cross country race the Americans are expected to finish far back of the Europeans. European officials in the cross-country claim this is one of the greatest fields of many years - possibly better than anything ever offered in the Olympics.

PETERSEN , UPI Sports Editor Tampa, Fla. -(UPD Manager Al Lopez of the Chicago White Sox is singing the same old refrain "We can beat the Yankees" only this time he has a lot of new reasons. He's been trying to beat the New Yorkers for the past eight years and did it only once, back in 1954 when he was directing the Cleveland Indians. Every other year, with the Indians and for the last two seasons with the White Sox, he's finished sec ond. "I have a lot of hope that we can beat 'em this year," the sun-tanned Lopez said. Then he listed these new rea sons: 1 The Yankees played "lousy ball" the last half of the season and "almost blew the World Series." 2 "This boy Jim Landis we have in centerfield." 3 "A sturdy - legged Al Smith." 4 "The best looking rookie I've seen since Mickey Mantle came up in 1951, John Calli son." 5 "A new starting pitcher in Barry Latman." "Put those things together and I have to feel optimistic more optimistic than I was a year ago at this time when I said the Yankees could be beaten.
