NW Conference Leaders Clash United Press International Linfield and Willamette, leading the pack in the North west Conference basketball race, meet in a crucial home-and-home series this week end. The two teams, each sport ing 3-0 records, play in Salem tonight and at McMinnville Saturday night. Drop in for a Bit of Southern Oregon conference basketball here on Saturday night features a pair of the top rated prep teams in Ore gon. Medford high is host to the Klamath Union Pelicans. Game time is 8:15 p.m. at the Hedrick . court. The Black Tornado bears the No. 2 and No. 3 rankings of press serv ice pollsters while Klamath Falls rates No. 5 status in both polls. Host Medford goes into Saturday night action unde feated in the conference and with the benefit of a week of rest from competition. Kla math Falls' standing tomor row will depend on the but come of its game tonight at Grants Pass. At present the Pelicans are 2-1 in the loop as compared to Medford's 4-0. Only Loss To Medford Only Klamath loss this sea son has been to Medford, making the Pels 8-1 for the full slate while Medford is 7-3. Other action in the league this week end takes Crater to Ashland this evening and to Grants Pass on Saturday. With the exception of Ken Durkee. who has had a bad cold, Coach Frank Roelandt has reported his Medford Tornado in good physical shape for the Pelican clash. Durkee "shot around" at prac tice yesterday and whether he will start Saturday night was to depend on whether he could go full speed in today's workout. Medford's starting crew likely will be chosen from among Jerry Anderson, Jerry Shults, Lowell Dean, Bob Quinney, Dick Ragsdale and Durkee. It's possible that Roe landt will open with Durkee in his usual guard position but have him alternately in and out of the hassle. KF Has 6-B Players With the play of Freddie Biehn apparently having earned him a starting slot, Coach Dean White may open with a different Klamath crew than that which began against Medford two week ends ago. The selection will be from among Bruce Brick ner, Gary Patzke, Steve Bin ney, Bob Lewis, Paul Bishop, Dean Dunson, Don Eastman and Biehn. A pair of 6-6 players, Lewis and Brickner, give Klamath the altitude edge on Medford but the Tornado is expected to make up for this deficit with its speed and aggressive ness. Medford margin in the oth er game was 62 to 46. There will be junior varsity and sophomore games at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday with the jayvees playing at Hedrick and the sophs at the senior high school. 'Showboat' Hall To Join Globetrotters Here on Thursday I Robert 'Showboat" Hall, re puted to be one of the great est comedians ever to wear the uniform of the Harlem Globetrotters, will rejoin the team when it appears in Medford on Jan. 21, it was announced today by Abe Sap- erstein, club owner. The Globetrotters play the San Francisco All-Nations at "Hed rick junior high school gym, starting at 8 p.m. Hall has a long history with the Negro quintet since joining the organization in 1948. He quickly adapted himrelf to the brand of ball played by the Globetrotters and his natural flare for comedy soon made him the team's principal drawing card. He decided to retire from active competition two years ago but Saperstein has lured him back to the ranks and he will rejoin his former teammates when they arrive here. Five acts of professional en tertainment at halftime will round out the program. Tick ets are on sale at Lamport's Sporting Goods store, 226 East Main st., Medford. Raider JV Wins 65-60 Ashland - Ten players got into the scoring column for the Southern Oregon college Jayvees last night as they scored a come - from - behind victory over Glendale 65 to 60 in the SOC gym in the Southern Oregon Independent Basketball league. Joe McNab copped top scor ing honors for the Glendale club and the game at 18 but it was not enough to hang onto the 32 to 27 halftime lead Glendale held. Teammate Jess Nunyon had 13 while Jayvee hoopsters' John Cook and Mert White had 12 each as did Morrie Jiminez of Glendale. The junior Raiders came from behind midway in the second half to take a 61 to 50 lead. Glendale whittled away at the margin but could not quiet get back into conten tion. Things had been directly opposite in the first stanza with the junior Redmen lead ing through most of the pe riod before hitting a scoring drought and falling behind. Next league action for the junior Raiders will be Satur day night when they venture to Butte Falls for a game with that team.

Crier Lake Hiway Ashland - Southern Oregon college seeks to make up some of the ground it losi to Port land State when it ventures to Monmouth for a two-game basketball series with Oregon College Friday and Saturday. It will return for a single game with Oregon Tech Tues day night in the Raider gym. Coach Ted Schopf has been i drilling the SOC club intense ly since it split two games with Eastern Oregon to open Oregon Collegiate conference ; play. Schopf feels the Raid ers must vastly improve their shooting and ball handling before they will be ready for OCE's Wolves. "We have too many scoring droughts xn. games," Schopf stated. He remarked that this ; failing hurt even during pre ! conference play and must be corrected. "Our rebounding has been satisfactory," Schopf said, "but our field shooting has not benefitted from it." Four Game Streak Oregon College, on the other hand, is riding on the brink of a four game win streak mainly on the scoring of forwards Dennis Spencer and Ron Jones coupled with the rebounding of Al Harter, the Wolves' mainstay center. Since splitting with EOC, the Raiders have been trying various combinations as far as putting a starting lineup together is concerned. Schopf will probably go with Gordy Carrigan and Dick Puhl at the guards and John Payne at a forward. The main switching prob lem has been at center and filling the other forward. Either 6-5 Glen Peterson or 6-4 Dick Smith will get the post call with choice among Don Vannice, 6-1, Tom Bernet, 6-1, and Dave Gardner, 6-0, to fill the remaining forward berth. Carrigan continues to lead the team in scoring with a 14.7 game average while Payne is second with 10.9 points per game. Last year the Raiders beat the Wolves four times during the OCC season on their way to second place in the con ference cage race. Against Oregon Tech the Raiders will have their prob lems no matter who starts, but the Owls will be having similar troubles. Owl Coach Wally Palmberg puts a team on the floor that affords the Raiders a good battle regard less of past performances of both ball clubs. Two years ago the two teams battled through four overtimes before the Raiders finally won. Last year the two teams went into overtime at Klamath Falls before the Owls took command and spoiled the Raiders bid for a tie in the OCC crown race. The game has much signifi- gance tied to it for it will be the Raiders first home confer ence game of the new year, the traditional Owl and Toma hawk will be at stake for the winner. These are now in the hands of the Techmen. Spectators are urged to come early for seating in the Raider gym. In the past, capacity crowds have been on hand for the rivalry .between the Raiders and Owls. Jayvee Coach Jim McAbee will send his charges into battle against the Owl junior varsity as a preliminary game beginning at 6:30 p.m. Ducks Play Portland U. United Press International Oregon's Webfoots stay in their home state this week end for a pair of battles with Portland's Pilots while Ore gon State, minus its head coach, heads south to battle Southern California.
