Sights on

and Ashland's sound thrashing
of the Central Pointers are in
dications that the Tornado can
take neither foe lightly.
Comet Coach Lloyd Hoffine
said yesterday that his Crater
gang could very well "get go
ing" against Medford and de
clared that it would be a mat
ter of attitude.
Medfordites George Koch,
because of illness, and John
Harvey, because of an ankle
sprain, have not worked out
all week. Koch was not in
school yesterday. Coach
Frank Roelandt said there is
possibility that the tall eager
may suit up and might play a
little. He expressed doubt,
however, that Koch would see
action at all. Harvey is an ap
parent observed from the side
lines. The Tornado also will
be without John Frohnmayer
because of a choir trip.
Roelandt said that Bob
Quinney and Darrell Miller
definitely will suit up with the
varsity after Junior varsity ac
tion. Possible Starters
Medford starters tonight
likely will be chosen from
among Jerry Anderson, Low

Comeback
Start Good
By LARRY SHAW
Portland (UPD Eddie Ma
chen has started a comeback,
successfully.
Machen Thursday . night
took a methodical ring vic
tory over Young Jack John
son of Los Angeles. The ver
dict was unanimous.
The fight was his first since
being knocked out by Inge
mar Johansson last year in
Sweden. At that time, Ma
chen was the number one
contender for the heavy
weight crown. Since then he
has slipped to number six in
the rankings.
Kneeing Apparent
Most of the action was re
served for the last two
rounds. In the ninth Johnson,
218, Los Angeles, triggered
Machen's temper by apparent
ly kneeing him in the groin
three times. It also aroused
the partisan Machen crowd
Until then, it had been a
fairly mediocre fight, with
neither man hurting the
other.
But in the ninth, after the
kneeing episodes, Machen
tried for the big punch. He
failed, but the last two rounds
were by far the best of the
fight. Machen won both by
wide margins.
Ashlander Stopped
In the dressing room after
the fight, Machen collapsed
but was brought around
quickly and complained of
being tired. He apparently
was not hurt at anytime dur
ing the fight.
Referee Ralph Gruman
scored the fight 100-91, Judge
George Robinson had it 99-95
and Judge Eddie Volk 99-94,
all for. Machen.
The crowd was announced
as 2,613 and paid a gross of
$7,313 to see the fight.
Preliminary results:
Cal Brown, Spokane,
knocked out Lee Bounds,
Ashland, in the first round;
Roger Rouse, Opportunity,
Mont., KO'd James Jackson,
Fresno, Calif., in one; Jimmy
Walker, Portland, decisioned
Mickey Gilmer, Seattle, and
Chinco Chavez, Portland,
and Bob Milne, Seattle, drew
in 4.
Meyer, Jackson
Shine in Drills
United Press International
Russ Meyer and Ransom
Jackson, who were big league
stars away back when the
Dodgers played in Brooklyn,
are making strong early bids
to start new careers with
American league teams.
Meyer, the former "mad
monk of Flatbush," is trying
to win a place on the Kansas
City Athletics' pitching staff
while Jackson, once valued by
the Dodgers at $100,000, is
battling for a third base job
with the Cleveland Indians.
The 35-year-old Meyer im
pressed Manager Harry Craft
Thursday when he pitched
three hitless innings during
Kansas City's final intra-squad
game of the spring. Meyer
said afterward that has arm
trouble has completely disap
peared and added, "I feel I
can stick with the Athletics
this year."
Jackson, a 33-year-old na
tive of Little Rock, Ork., hit
two homers and drove in eight
runs during the Indians' three
game intrasquad series which
was concluded Thursday. A
poll of newsmen covering the
Indians' camp made him the
series' most valuable player.
Shortstop Billy Moran hom
ered for the big blow of
Thursday's game.

The Shasta Lawe Improve

aims will be more launching

The group includes leaders

Several Could Offer
And there were several that

of injuries, Tomy Lee.
Neil S. McCarthy's entry of
Ole Fols and Finnegan prob
ably will be favored, both
horses having beaten Tomy
Lee at the meeting. Ole Fols
is the speed horse while Fin
negan is the stretch runner.
Silver Spoon goes coupled
with Jungle Dancer in the
race while a third twosome is
composed of Fightin Indian
and Prince Lewker.
The horses given the best
chance of breaking in on the
McCarthy entry and Silver

the purse were Royal Orbit
and Linmold.
The rest of the field was

Skyline Circuit
By TIM MORIARTY
United Pres International
The University of Denver
today was caught in a cross
country tug-of-war Involving
the nation's two biggest col
lege basketball tournaments.
The Pioneers accepted a bid
to the National Invitation
tournament Thursday al
though they still have a slim
chance of winning the Sky
line conference berth in the
NCAA championship.
However, all their troubles
may be resolved tonight if
Utah beats Wyoming and thus
clinches the ' Skyline title.
That would leave Denver free
to honor its commitment in
the NIT.
Utah, currently leading the
Skyline with an 11-1 record,
also has a conference date
with Colorado State Saturday
night while .Denver (10-2)
plays Brigham Young tonight
and Utah State Saturday
night. So if Utah loses both
its week end games and Den
ver wins its final two con
tests, the Pioneers will be the
conference champions.
What then? Well, Denver
already has indicated it will
drop out of the NIT and com
pete in the NCAA western
regional playoffs at San Fran
cisco next week.
