2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Thursday, Jai. 21, 1960 UNI siPODmnrs Tornado, Comets Clash on Friday Crater high's hope of stay ing in the thick of the South ern Oregon conference bas ketball race has a rugged challenge this week end. For the Comets of Central Point meet the top two clubs of the circuit on successive nights. Medford, undefeated in the loop, goes against Crater at Central Point on Friday eve ning and the Comets oppose No. 2 Klamath Union at Kla math Falls on Saturday eve ning. Other league scrapes take Grants Pass to Ashland on Friday and bring Ashland to Medford on Saturday night. Grants Pass and Crater are tied for third in the league and Ashland seeks its first triumph in 1960 conference play. The Black Tornado of Med ford is favored to sweep over both its rivals and Klamath and Grants Pass are picked to cop their single tangles of the week end. Medford thundered over Ashland 82 to 56 and bounced the Comets 66 to 40, breaking away after strong early bids from the two foes. Exams This Week Crater will attempt to press the advantage of its home court in action with the Black Tornado but probably feels its chances are better against Klamath, at least on the basis of previous conflicts, even though they meet the Pels on the Klamath floor. The Com ets gave the Pelicans a strong battle for three quarters be fore bowing 43 to 36. Preparations for semester finals has affected basketball concentration at both Med ford and Crater. The Comets were to learn today whether Gary Johnson's hand injury suffered in Tuesday drill is a fracture. For the Crater game, Med ford Coach Frank Roelandt is expected to call on Jerry An derson, Jerry Shults, Lowell Dean, Ken Durkee and Dick Ragsdale as starters. Mentor Lloyd Hoffine's selection for Crater likely will include Chuck Turner, Earl Cooper, Dennis Edwards, Dave Sharp and Loyal Higinbotham. Medford sophomores will meet Crater jayvees in the 6:30 p.m. prelim at Central Point. Varsity tussle will get underway between 8 and 8:15 p.m. Wall Opens Defense in Crosby Golf Pebble Beach, Calif. -flJPD- Art Wall, the money midas from Pocono Manor, Pa., opened defense of his double crown in the $50,000 Bing Crosby Clambake today-and the weatherman suggested that the reed-thin shotmaker put lead weights in his shoes before he teed off. The forecast was "90 per cent chance of rain" and with winds up to 50 miles an hour on the Pebble Beach, Cypress Point and Monterey Country club courses. "It will take a real strong player to whip these courses," said young Tommy Jacobs, Montebello, Calif., who is rated one of the crack young stars. But even that may not help. Not a single shot-maker re ported a score below 75 on Pebble Beach. Most were in the 80s. Cypress Point was just as bad. And Monterey, which usually plays a bit easier, found few par-crack ers. Gill Says He's Feeling Better Seattle - (UPD - Slats Gill, Oregon State's ailing basket ball coach, says he is "feeling better, getting lots of rest and eating good." Gill suffered a heart at tack Jan. 11 and is at Provi dence hospital here. Gill issued a statement from his hospital bed Wednesday saying he was "making the adjustment" of being confined to his hospital room without difficulty. He said he often told his players they should be prepared to adjust them selves to any given situation. "I want to assure them that I've been able to make the adjustment," he said. He also said he wished to thank the persons who have flooded him with telegrams, letters, cards and flowers. Paul Valenti, his assistant, has taken over the basketball coaching chores at OSC.

Pender to Use Speed in Bout Boston OJPD Paul Pender, the rangy dark-haired Irish challenger from suburban Brookline, said today he ex pects to give Sugar Ray Rob inson "a boxing lesson" Fri day night and take what's left of his middleweight crown. Pender, 29 - at least nine years younger than Robinson explained in the press room at the Hotel Kenmore: "I'll beat the old man with speedy in-and-out tactics like Billy Conn used when he was light heavyweight champion." The challenger said he was confident he could outpoint Sugar Ray in their scheduled 15-rounder at Boston Garden. Sugar Ray is recognized as champion by the New York and Massachusetts commis sions. The NBA withdrew recognition because his last defense was made 22 months ago.

Ashland "We want these two games this weekend, and we want them bad," was the comment by Southern Oregon college's basketball captain, Gordon Carrigan, concerning the pair of games scheduled against Portland State Friday and Saturday in the Raider gym here. Portland State is the league leader with a 2-0 mark in the Oregon Collegiate conference while the Raiders are second with a 3-2 record. SOC is fresh from a 74-70 victory over Oregon Tech last Tuesday night in which Car rigan continued to lead the team with 25 points. His point Rogue Loop Lone Lead At Stake Sole lead in Rogue league basketball will be the prize for the winner Friday evening when Phoenix and Glendale high aggregations collide. The game will be at Glen dale. Phoenix and Glendale, which each bear the nick name, "Pirates," currently are tied in the loop with 2-0 records each. Other Friday rivalry in the loop will match third place Eagle Point against fourth place Illinois Valley at Cave Junction. On Saturday night Glen dale will scrap at Eagle Point and Phoenix at Rogue River. The Chiefs of Rogue River are looking for their first league win. However, they spilled Phoenix in the consolation final of the pre - conference Rogue Classic. Illinois River Fishing Good Around Agness Portland -(LTD- Steelhead anglers again are faced with a big question mark this week end, the state game commis sion said today. If the weather cooperates it could be the best week end of the season. Most north and central coast streams are up from rain at the start of the week and steelhead are reported moving. Good angling is in prospect if there is no big snow melt or additional rain muddies the streams. The south coast looks good if the storms hold off. East ern Oregon anglers still are bothered by ice flows on smaller streams. The weekly report: Southwest: Upper Umpqua area has improved; rivers are somewhat murky and cold; Tenmile creek fair; crabbing still good at Umpqua light house. Streams in Coos and Co quille areas high but pros pects excellent if they drop; striped bass angling poor in Coos bay; south coastal streams high. Fishing good around Ag ness on the Illinois, on the Chetco and Winchuck and f au to good on Elk and Sixes; fish ing poor on Rogue in Grants Pass to Galice area: no fish reported yet in Applegate river. ; : i total is now 201 for 15.5 game average, highest on the ball club. Big Glen Peterson drew ; much-of the praise for the j win the other mght against the Owls and he will be in the starting center spot Fri day. "He just gets better all the time," said Raider Coach Ted Schopf. Last week he pulled off 12 rebounds in the winning effort against Ore gon College and completely bottled up 6-8 Alan Harter. Last Tuesday he shared hon ors with Carrigan by nabbing 12 rebounds, making six of seven field shots, and hitting all three of his gift tosses. Improvement in the Raid ers goes further by including the second unit and Tom Ber net, a 6-1 forward. Bernet, a sophomore from. Grants Pass, has hit 10 of his attempts in the field in the past three games. Dick Smith adds more punch to the front line with his rebounding and scoring. Portland State lays most of its strength in its guards and the rebounding of captain and forward, Bob Grant. Guards Don Powell and Don Bridges do much of the scoring. Starting with Peterson and Carrigan in the first unit will be 6-5 John Payne at forward, 5-7 Brad Flanary at guard and either Don Vannice of Bernet at the other forward. St. Mary's Butte Falls Host Friday First time around in the Jackson County B league bas ketball race will be completed Friday evening. The schedule will have Butte Falls against St. Mary's at Medford, Prospect going to Talent. St. Mary's is the only un beaten crew in the loop. Prospect and Butte Falls are 1-1 in the circuit and Talent seeks its first win against a conference foe. The members of the B league are playing each other three times this season and will have a tourney when the three rounds are completed. St. Mary's has a game on Saturday evening against Yreka, Calif. The brush will be at Yreka.

' Refs Displease Boss of Royals United Press International Professional basketball in Cincinnati "is dead,". General Manager Pepper Wilson of the Royals declared today, unless j something is .done "imme- j diately" about the officiating in the National Basketball Assn. Still smoldering over what he called "grossly incompet ent officiating" by referees Willie Smith and Earl Strom in Wednesday night's game at Cincinnati which the Royals lost to the St. Louis Hawks, 119-108, Wilson said he would take the matter promptly to league President Maurice Po doloff. "This was another game the Royals had taken away from them by grossly incom petent officiating," Wilson said in a prepared statement. A 43-minute performance by Tommy Heinsohn paced the Boston Celtics to a 144 126 triumph over the New York Knickerbockers. Wilt Chamberlain netted 33 points in Philadelphia's 129 123 victory over Syracuse on the losers' court. 1960 DODGE TRUCK Immediate Delivery! 6 Cylinder Economy Engine H.D. 3-Speed Transmission Heater and Defroster Modern Sweptline Styling Turn Signals Electric.
