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.

Washington -UPD- AFL-CIO
President George Meany pre
dicts today that 1960 will be
a "year of battle" with in
dustry and congressional "re
actionaries" for survival of the
American labor movement.
He called on union mem

the "gravest attacks" on or
ganized labor since pre-New

Meany's appeal underscored
previous warnings by Labor

sports promoter James Mc
Gregor has called for a Con

AAU ban against a Swedish
amateur basketball team's
proposed tour of the United

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."

Go .Carters
Organize
Club Here
This community's newest
racing organization, the Med
ford Go Kart club, will have
its first meeting of the new
year on Jan. 7 at 7:30 p.m.
at the main Medford fire sta
tion. First races of 1960 will be
on Jan. 10. The club is racing
on the Sears Roebuck and
Co. parking lot. Racing is
every other Sunday starting
at 1 p.m.
Members pointed out that
no racing or running of Karts
is allowed when the Medford
Go Kart club is not operating
or supervising the event. They
said that any one who runs
the little vehicles when the
activity is not supervised will
be trespassing and will be con
sidered breaking the law.
Funk President
Howard Funk is president
of the new club. Monty Wray
is secretary-treasurer, Charles
Culmer, course marshal, and
Doug Dawson, flagman.
The Go Kart is a small auto
with 40 to 50-inch wheel
base. It has a small two
cylinder engine on the rear
but no body. The small ve
hicle gives a person interest
ed in racing but limited finan
cially a chance to enjoy the
sport, members of the club
state. Adults, as well as young
sters, take part in racing the
tiny vehicles.
The club here was stated by
Funk, Dawson and Jim Swin
dler with an aim of keeping
youngsters off the streets with
their Karts. There are now 30
club members.
Funk said that any one in
terested is welcome to the
meeting and to join the club
whether he has a car or not.
The Medford club has
adoptted the Go Kart Club of
America rules and specifications.

The Comets were to have a
light drill this evening. Mostly
shooting is planned since Cra
ter had trouble finding the
hoop in the Myrtle Point game
on Tuesday. Hoffine's hope,
if Edwards is lost for the sea

will be able to fill the gap in
rebounding. Edwards has been
