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.

Andy's Jewelers moved
into a second place tie in the
Southern Oregon Independent
Basketball league last night
when Bill Madden's last sec
ond score gave them a last
second 58 to 56 nod over Glen

first time with a 71 to 63 vic
tory over Butte Falls' in the
other game of a doublebill at
McLoughlin gym.
The Y will tackle Southern
Oregon college junior varsity
in a league fray on Friday at
Ashland.
Andy's led Glendale 31 to
26 at half time but the fuss
was deadlocked at 46-all with
three minutes to go. Glendale
went on top 50 to 46 but Don
Bowling and Derald Wooton
goals for the Jewelers closed
the gap. Morrie Jimenez and
McNab put Glendale back in
front 54 to 50. Bowling's two
free tosses and a fielder by
Dennis Conner knotted the
count at 54-all.
Passes Set Up Score
McNab scored for the visi
tors and Fuz McCay took a
long rebound for the Jewelers
and shot for 56-all tie. With
five seconds left Jimenez
missed on a one and one free
heave try. Wooton rebounded
and a Wooton to Max Hite to
McCay to Madden pass com
bination set up the winning
bucket.
McNab had 18 points and
Jiminez 10 for Glendale and
Madden 15, Wooton 10 and
Hite and Conner each . eight
for Andy's.
The Marketeers lagged 29
to 33 at the half but went

three minutes.
Don Reese had 28 points
and Ted Yarnell and Joe No
lan 10 each for Big Y and Bill
Irwin 25, Ron Veach 17 and

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.
