Bedford Faces Crater At CP Tonight, Encounters Ashland Grizzlies Here on Saturday Central Point and Ashland are game sites this evening as rivalry continues in South ern Oregon conference bas ketball. , Medf ord (5-0) will aim to extend its unbeaten record against Crater (2-3) at Cen tral Point. Grants Pass (2-3) goes to Ashland (0-4). Scenes shift for Saturday scrambles with Ashland at Medford and Crater at Klam ath Falls (3-2). : Medford's Black Tornado and the GP Cavemen this eve ning and Klamath and Med ford on Saturday have favor ite roles in their respective engagements on the strength of previous victories. While the campaign in the District 6 A-l circuit has not reached its halfway mark and while the Tornado's lead in the loop is far from secure, in terest already is building on the second place race in the loop, rather than on just the championship, itself. Confer ence members are not con ceding to Medford but they are mindful that second spot in the loop, as well as first, earns a berth in the state tourney. Both Crater and Ashland gave Medford tough going at the start of their previous struggles then yielded before heavier Black Tornado bar rages. Neither Crater nor Ashland shot as often as Med ford in the former games and may aim at getting more shots away. The Grizzles of Ash land had just about as good a field average as the Tornado but took some 30 less shots at the hoop. The Comets of Central Point, on their famil iar home court will seek to spark an offense which will match their aggressive de fense. Medford is expected to have a starting lineup of Jerry An derson, Jerry Shults, Lowell Dean, Ken Durkee and Dick Ragsdale for both week end games.

Students in grades three through five are being tested to determine what the chil dren need in the way of a health and PE program. According to Richard Tray lor, athletic director, the new program will use the follow ing pattern for the first six weeks: Mondays, rop jump ing, Tuesdays, stunts, ball drills and games; Wednes days, tumbling; Thursdays, rhythms or folk games; Fri days, relays or games. During the cold winter pe riod most of the physical education activities will be conducted in the elementary school gymnasium. Later, during warmer weather, most of these activities will be held out of doors. George Johns, school prin cipal, expresses concern for a good health and PE pro gram. He said the program encompasses many areas of child development such as discipline, child behavior and accomplishment, health and nourishment problem, and it also indicates physical de fects which may appear in the youngster's growth.

But Washington, not so big in the Big Five (a 0-6 conference record) just might be in for a tumble. Oregon has dropped only three games out of 16 played, and could just be the one to give the Huskies a run for their money, plus interest. Oregon State (9-4) also trav els out of state to pit its tal ent against Washington State, which stands even-steven with an 8-2 record. In the only other game to night, Los Angeles State, next to the bottom in the Cal ifornia collegiate league, takes on San Diego State, now in a three-way tie with Fresno and Santa Barbara for first place.

Al Gutierrez Batters Aragon Los Angeles -UPD- Alvaro Gutierrez of Mexico handed Art Aragon one of the worst beatings of his 16-year pro boxing career Thursday night before being awarded a ninth round knockout in a dramatic battle at Olympic Auditor ium. The loss was believed to mark Aragon's "swan song" in boxing. Gutierrez, 148, Mexico City, dropped Aragon, the former "Golden Boy" of Cal ifornia boxing, in the first round and went on to hammer him relentlessly until Referee Tommy Hart halted the bout at 2 minutes, 22 seconds of the ninth round. Aragon weighed 150 pounds for the scheduled 10 rounder. Aragon, who announced be fore the bout he would retire from the ring if he lost, staged perhaps his most courageous performance before an esti mated 7,500 in the Olympic.

Trotters Pack Gym At Hedrick Those fabulous Harlem Globetrotters, masterful (ma ple)court jesters, don't have a wild animal menagerie but they're a circus just the. same -complete with side show. . They proved that again last night as the mirthful basket ballers paid a barnstorming call at Hedrick Junior High school gym here. And, their popularity was shown both by the fans who attended and those who were turned away. Some 2,000 spectators crowd ed into Hedrick court to see the side-splitting exhibition but hopes of an estimated ad ditional 2,000 were spurned when the game was sold out before they arrived at the door. . The Globetrotters display ed plenty of sparkling bas ketball during the two-plus hours of show in which they met the San Francisco All Nations aggregation. But their business is entertainment and they made it a hilarious eve ning with their spectacular passing, shooting, referee baiting , and devious tactics through the evening. They were led by Robert (Show boat) Hall, Junior Lee and J. C. Gipson. Coincidental In the process the 'Trotters "defeated" All Nations 77 to 70. But, as has been said many times before, the score was purely coincidental. Hall was the pivot for the Harlemite offense, trickery and skulduggery. He hid the ball under his own shirt and under a rivals, left in lying on the floor or put it between his knees to "fool" the oppo sition. In the process Hall put in a total 12 field goals. Long shot artist and dribbling star Don Barnette sank 11 goals from the field. He dribbled the ball while lying or roll ing on the floor. The 'Trotters also came up with..their famed football and baseball games and used weighted and deflated balls and another casaba which rolled crazily with a weight inside. They left the ball ly ing on the floor instead of handing to the referees. A variety of means were used to delay the shooting of free shots. Gipson was told to al low three feet to an SF play er he was guarding on an out-of-bounds play. He said he had only two feet. The All Nations team kept to their role of straight men but showed some class of their own at times. Ron Holt, ex Willamette university, was their main scorer with 10 field buckets and a total of 22 points. Kent Bryan and Bob Stoer mer were big men under the boards. The performances of the variety performers batonist Guy Allen and trick unicyclist Jacques Alhershardt, equili brist George Lee and unicy clist Bob Foy at halftime made a well-rounded evening of entertainment.

By JACK CUDDY Boston-dJPD-Colorful Sugar Ray Robinson, still a glory hunter in the sunset of his career, says he'll try for a quick, spectacular knockout tonight over challenger Paul Pender in the first defense of his disputed middleweight championship in 22 months. "I gotta do it quick and impressively," said 39-year-old Ray, "to prove that I'm still the real world cham pion." The Harlem hotshot is fa vored at 5-1 to beat 29-year-old Pender of suburban Brookline, in their scheduled 15-round fight at the Boston Garden. Few give the rangy, dark haired Irish challenger any chance against the once-great Robinson, who still carries a bomb in each fist but whose legs and stamina may be gone because of age and inactiv ity. Nevertheless, the ticket sale 4 Mends Diadem caused promoter Sam Silver man to expect 12,000 fans and a gate of $125,000. In addi tion, Silverman said, the TV radio money is $100,000. The bout, in which Pender will be attempting the 15 round distance for the first time, will be televised and broadcast nationally by NBC at 10 p.m. e.s.t. There'll be a TV blackout within a 100 mile radius. First Defense Since '58 Sugar Ray expects a purse of about $120,000; Pender, about $35,000. Paul's pre viously highest purse was $6,000. It's Robinson's first defense since he recaptured the 160 pound title from Carmen Ba silio at Chicago on March 25, 1958. Because of Ray's long delay in defending, the Na tional Boxing association va cated his crown May 4. How ever, he's still recognized as world champion in New York and Massachusetts. Gene Fullmer of West Jor dan, Utah, is now recognized as champion by the NBA; and Robinson hopes that an im pressive victory over Pender tonight will force a title-clearing fight with Fullmer at New York, May 16.
