Black Tornado Cage Team Opens League Action at Klamath Favorite in the Southern ! Oregon conference basketball race could be established Sat urday night at Klamath Falls. Medford and Klamath Union highs open their re spective league slates. Pre loop action and personnel have established the two clubs as the ones to beat in the 1960 casaba campaign. Klamath is bidding for a fourth straight diadem in the circuit. The Black Tornado of Medford, runner-up three of the past four years, seeks its school's first conference ban ner since 1956. Saturday's encounter, one of four billed between the schools in league play, will provide the first opportunity to determine how the current editions' match up to each other. Their pre - conference play was against different sets of foes. The Pelicans of Klamath, tall as usual, have been im pressive in warming up for the 16-game conference menu. They have run up twin victor " ies over St. Helens, Spring field and Bend and are so far undefeated. Sparked by Guards Paul Bishop and Dean Dunson and post man Bob Lewis, the Pels have totalled 336 points in their six games, an average of 56 per outing. They've held their rivals to 249, or 41.5 per game. Bishop Heads Scoring Bishop, 6 3, a sharp set and jump shooter from outside and lanky leader of the fast break, has tabulated about one-third of his club's points with 106. Lewis, 6-6, has 58 markers and is a strong re bounder. Dunson, 6-1, can be a deadeye from the outside, as the Black Tornado found out in one game last year. Other top players on the Pelican roster are Gary Patzke, 6-3, Don Eastman, 6-3, Bill Santo, 6-4, and Steve Bin ney, 6-1 guard. Lewis, East man, Bishop, Dunson, Santo and Binney are returnees from 1958-1959 on Coach Dean White's aggregation. Patzke is a sophomore. A 6-5 player just trans ferred from Merrill is junior Bruce Brickner who is almost certain to fit into the Pelican scheme before the season progresses much farther. Lewis, Bishop, Patzke and Dunson are almost certain starters for Klamath against Medford. It's among Eastman, Binney and Santo, likely, for Coach White's fifth choice. From a strictly win-loss standpoint, Medford's 3-3 rec ord to date is not so impres sive as Klamath's 6-0. How ever, the Black Tornado's pre league campaign closed out on a rousingly optimistic note to give the locals strong hopes for a successful chase in Dis trict 6. Best Effort After dropping tussles to -Marshfield, pre -season state title favorite, and to North Bend, Medford came back to , twice whip a potentially strong South Eugene club. The Tornado was victimized by Roseburg when the In dians had a hot night then last Tuesday more than made up for that setback by severe ly drubbing the Indians. Concerning this top effort so far this season by the Black Tornado, Coach Frank Roe landt remarked, "It's the best they've run and handled the ball for a long time. We're real satisfied. We're quite pleased with the kids. Now, if they can just keep it up.' Medford has piled up 381 points to 337 by opponents. The respective averages per game are 63.5 and 56.1. All- stater Jerry Anderson has topped individual scoring by matching the 106 that Bishop has put in for Klamath. Bob Qumey has 57 for the Tor nado, Jerry .Shults 52, Lowell Dean 50, Ken Durkee 39 and Booth Deakins 33. Pells a Bit Taller The Black Tornado has some good overall height but doesn't quite equal the Peli cans in this department with Quinney tallest at 6-4. Med ford does have a bit more ex perience on the squad, al though Roelandt put on the floor a starting five with a couple of non-lettermen. Dick Ragsdale and Quinney could get the call on the basis of play against Roseburg. They are battling with Deakins and Shults for spots. Other possi ble starters are Anderson, Dean and Durkee. The Tornado held a good hard drill yesterday and was to taper off for Saturday with a light drill late this after noon. Medford junior varsity and sophomore (Wildcat) teams also will vie at Klamath Falls. NM State Victor in Sun Bowl El Paso, Tex.-ttlPD-Charley Johnson, whose 18 touchdown passes during the regular sea son led the nation, and whose two more against North Texas State Thursday were the back bone of New Mexico State's 28-8 Sun Bowl triumph, fi nally felt like a hero today. He was voted the Sun Bowl's most valuable player, edging teammate Bob Gai ters by one ' vote among the sports writers who saw them and a lightly-manned, under dog New Mexico State squad thoroughly trounce a sup posedly superior, two - deep team. Johnson, all season, had to share glory with national rushing and scoring champion Pervie Atkins.

Hoop Promoter Seeking Probe Portland, Ore. -UPD- Port land basketball coach and sports promoter James Mc Gregor has called for a Con gressional investigation of an AAU ban against a Swedish amateur basketball team's proposed tour of the United States. The AAU said the tour was banned because McGregor was sponsoring it. He was termed a "professional." McGregor said the "true issue is that AAU President Dan Ferris is striking back at me by penalizing a Swedish team because I have publicly criticized the AAU and its policy of isolationism." Parry O'Brien Award Winner New York -(DPD World champion shot putter Parry O'Brien, a throw-back to the "Irish whales" of days gone by, realized a lifetime ambi tion today when he was nam ed winner of the James E.

As . usual, a sellout crowd of 100,809 be gan converging on the stad ium early today.
