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. Crater may begin to

Change in PE
Program Told
Central Point-A change is
being made in the physical
education program at Central
Point Elementary school.
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.

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.
