Jackson B Opens Wednesday Jackson County B league will determine its district playoff representative this week with a two or three game tourney while the Rogue league's final slate of games may place the District 6 A-2 southern division situa tion in a muddle. County B teams vie start ing Wednesday at Eagle Point high gym and the winner of the runoff will meet the vic tor of the Klamath - Jake county tourney for the Dis trict 5B crown. Prospect and Butte Falls mix in the 7 p.m. Wednesday game with St. Mary's and Tal ent meeting in the second tus sles. Winners will clash on Thursday evening after a con solation scuffle. If the victor in the two night series is not St. Mary's, that team must meet the Cru saders on Saturday. The Med Jord parochial club rates this second chance as regular sea son Jackson B league champ. Could Be 4-Way Tie Phoenix, Eagle Point and Glendale each have a chance for an unshared Rogue league diadem but the race could end in a two or four-way tie, with IV also in the running for a four-knot deadlock. Games ending the regular loop schedule are Illinois Val ley at Eagle Point and Glen dale at Phoenix on Friday and Eagle Point at Glendale on Saturday. A four -way deadlock would come about if Illinois Valley beats Eagle Point, Glendale tops Phoenix and Eagle Point trims Glen- Olympics Witness Political Strife Squaw Valley, Calif.-(UPfl-A "near revolution" among the East and West Germans turned the 1960 Winter Olym pic games into a political battleground again to lay. With added strife among the Koreans and also the Chi nese, the games which were designed to promote inter national harmony were fol lowing a pattern long preva lent in this biggest of all win ter sports events. ! This latest battle plaguing the games along with injuries and a melting sun developed when East German officials refused to recognize the offi cial ratings of the Interna tional Ski Federation (FIS). Meanwhile, South Korea fought to compete as a sepa rate entry and Nationalist China battled to be recognized and permit its four athletes to compete in the games starting Thursday. Germany, divided political ly since World War II, was equally far apart even in sports. Communist-dominated East Germany won this latest dis pute and succeeded in nam ing one of its men to the downhill ski competition al though the West German man who was ousted, Fritz Wagnerberger, is one of the outstanding favorites in the event. Wagnerberger and three of New League Said Rumor By United Press International Athletic Directors Spec Keene of Oregon State and Leo Harris of Oregon today labeled as "another rumor" a report that members of the Skyline and Border confer ences were thinking about a new league which would in clude Northwest members of the old Pacific Coast confer ence. Keene said he has stated on numerous occasion that there is an advantage to belonging to a conference but that there was nothing definite in the wind. He did say he had met on several occasions with dif ferent individuals on an in formal basis and talked about the possibility of a new con ference. Harris said "we are defin itely interested in improving ourselves, by joining an or ganized athletic conference." But he said he hadn't been contacted at any time with a formal application to such a group. The report came out of Salt Lake City where the Skyline Conference has not yet picked a new commissioner. HANSON REPEATS St. Petersburg, Fla. - (TPD -Beverly Hanson, who rarely takes a back seat to anyone on or off the golf course, be came the first player in his tory Sunday to repeat as champion of the St. Peters burg Women's Open golf tour nament. Sawdust SH GRIEN STAMPS Bedford Fuel Co. TL SP 2-2111 Court McAnd. L 1 Tourney M dale. Some sort of tie is bound to result, if not for first place, at least for second. District 6 playoff plan calls for the top two teams each of the Rogue league and the Umpqua league to vie at Rose burg March 4 and 3. The Rogue league procedure, calls for it to give one berth to its champion and for the second place club to play off with Henley on Feb. 26 for the other spot. Ties rather com plicate the picture. J,ast year when Eagle Point and IV knotted for the Rogue title, EP got a playoff berth be cause of its league wins over Cougars and JV met Henley. Chance to Cinch Medford high has only one Southern Oregon conference tangle this week but it is mighty important to the Tor nado. The Big Breeze goes to Klamath. Falls on Saturday night and can tuck away the championship by licking the Pelicans. In other games in the big school circuit Klamath will be at Grants Pass and Crater at Ashland on Friday and Crater at Grants Pass on Sat urday. Both Medford Junior highs had basketball engagements this afternoon at seventh, eighth and ninth grade levels. Hedrick was at North Grants Pass and South GP was at McLoughlin. Central Point seventh and eighth go to Ash land on Thursday and Crater freshman vie at Ashland on Friday, his West German teammates Hanspeter Lanig, Willi Bogner and Ludwig Leitner all were rated ahead of the East German downhill skiers in the FIS ratings announced Sunday. Charge "Sell out" The East Germans contend ed that one of their downhill skiers, Eberhard Riedel, should be selected ahead of Wagnerberger although Wag nerberger was ranked 17th while Riedel was ranked 20th. The West Germans charged by intimation that West Ger man lawyer Herbert Kunze, chief of the overall German team, had "sold out" to the Communists. The dispute was resolved, on the surface at least, with Riedel put on the German team instead of Wagner berger. While the East-West Ger man dispute did not hamper the athletes here from 30 oth er countries, the downhill ski course and a blazing sun did. The course was taking a heavy toll in injuries. -Battista Pordon of Italy and Luis Molne of .Spain both sus tained broken legs in falls Monday and will be unable to compete in the games. Felipe Rigat of Spain had to with draw because of injuries re ceived in a fall last Friday. Boxer's Title Said Jeopardized Providence, R. I. -IUPD- The National Boxing association, which vacated Archie Moore's light heavyweight champion ship Monday night, threatened similar action today against welterweight champion Don Jordan unless he can furnish official proof by Friday that he's fit to fight. Anthony Maceroni, presi dent of the NBA, announced that: -The NBA had withdrawn title recognition from 46-year old Moore because of his fail ure to defend the 175-pound crown within the prescribed six months, and a tourney would be arranged March 5 to determine his successor. May Lose Crown -Jordan faces loss of his 147-pound crown unless he provides medical certification from the California commis sion that he's fit to defend against Cuban Benny Kid Paret at Las Vegas, Nev., on May 20 or 27. The New York State Ath letic commission, which is not a member of the NBA, will continue to recognize Moore as champion, Chairman Mel vin L. Krulewitch stated in New York. He said no official challenge was on file with the commission and that Moore "is a fighter of good, repute and standing." Maceroni stressed that the NBA Executive committee had warned Moore on Dec. 12 he must defend before Feb. 12 against top contender Harold Johnson of Philadelphia. On Feb. 12, Moore's six months had elapsed since his last de fense against Canadian Yvon Durelle, Aug. 12, at Montreal.

Harlem Stars meet the Southern Oregon college Mugs Thursday night in Mc- Neal Pavulion for the March of Dimes. Among the Harlem Stars are Showboat Buckner", John Barber, and Boid Buie, three of the zaniest netters in the game. Showboat Buckner is. a unique and exciting star known as one of the great est little clown in basketball. Standing a mere 5 feet, 2 inches, showboat is a set shot artist. Showboat's ball- hungry sidekick, "One Arm Boid Buie" is considered one of the all time greats" of the Harlem Globetrotters. He was the star of the Tennessee Ti gers from 1942 through 1945 and spent three years with Goose Tatum s Harlem Stars. What happened to Boid Buie fifteen years ago would have ended the hopes of most as piring athletes. Buie lost an arm. But today the young man is earning his living by playing forward for the Stars cage quintet. It is possible to score 100 points in a single game? Yes! Big John Barber scored 180 points in a game while play ing ball at Los Angeles State college. This 6-foot, 6-inch, 225-pound center enables the Stars to boast one of the fin est arrays of players in exhi bition basketball.

Fishing Said , Portland -OIPD- The Bureau of Sports Fisheries and Wild life opened a four-day ses sion here Monday with more than 200 supervisors and workers attending. Ross Leffler, assistant sec retary of the interior, spoke at the opening session and called for a united front to protect America's wildlife. He said sport fishing and hunting is a big industry and said 30 million fishermen last year on streams and lakes spent three billion dollars. Leffler said the large in crease in population means people will need more land, thus reducing the habitats for wildlife. He also said that at What This iliiliill Hawkinson, Guard Vie W. L. Prt.

A change in AAU district tourney plans now limits the Jackson entry in the Feb. 20 and 21 playoff at Klamath Falls to just one team. It's also now not certain how the county entrant will be named. Hawkinson's, the jayvees and Andy's reportedly all are in terested. Apparently the SOIBL championship won't have much bearing on the is sue. The Jewelers are bidding because their team, under a different sponsor, were 1959 Jackson playoff winners. Big Business the same time more people are participating in fishing and hunting. D. H. Janzen, director of the bureau, said that products of civilization-stream pollu tion, drainage, airports, high way and urban development- are adding to the problems of protecting the wildlife.
