Fanfare By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor Med sipawmrs By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Squaw Valley (UPD An eager band of -14 burly young Yanks skated out for make-or- break mayhem against Can ada's Olympic ice hockey forces today with both teams gunning for the wounded Russian Bear. The championship round in ice hockey had settled down to a battle among tne Dig three Russia, Canada and the U.S. with Russia, the de fending Winter Olympic Games champion, now in an underdog role after being held to a 2-2 tie by Sweden Wednesday night. So the clash between the boys from both sides of the friendly border featured a day in which Russia's puck chasers were favored xo swamp Germany, a team bat tered Wednesday nignt Dy the Yanks, 9-1. Gold medals were to be awarded in the men's 5,000 meter speed skating and the 40-kilometer 4-man cross country skiing relay. And another round of compulsory figures the second will be held in the men's figure skating. Russia Far In Front Nobody was going to keep the Russians from making a comDlete runaway of the win ter games, for, as it picked up its fourth speed skating gold medal Wednesday, it ran up 16 points and boosted its to tal standing to a massive 120. Far back in second place, in thpse unofficial team stand ings, was Germany with 52Vi, while the U.S. trailed in third with 44. But a group of valiant Swedes put a crimp in Rus sia's hope for another hockey gold medal. Reacting to a partisan capa city crowd of 8,000, which kept yelling "go-go-Sweden," the yellow-shirted athletes from the frozen north battled the favored Soviet team to the deadlock. With 17 of the 28 gold medals decided, it was virtu ally impossible to halt the Russian rout. The developments Wednes dayincluding the daily rhu barb were: The weatherman fore cast occasional snow flurries for todav after a week of Tornado, Comets Friday Cage Foes Medford High school, with flu. Lowell Dean, rugged Tor- the championship and a state tourney trip already tucked away, Crater high with slim hopes of a tournament jaunt, and Ashland, still to win in 1960 in the circuit, all have double duty in Southern Ore gon conference basketball this week. Medford and Crater are foes at Central Point on Friday evening while Ashland enter tains Grants Pass. Saturday contention brings Ashland to Medford while Crater travels to Klamath Falls. The Black Tornado of Medford makes its final home appearance of the year against the Ashland Griz zlies. Sights of Medford are now on its Class A-l tournament action but the Black Tronado still is ambitious to complete its league and District 6 sched ule with an undefeated rec ord. In the remaining games of the loop campaign, Tor nado mentor Frank Roelandt will use reserves as much as Dossible. He will try various combinations to see what they can do. Miller Ailing Crater, naturally, looks to ward a tourney chance al though the possibility is rath er scant. The Comets to tie for second place in the dis-i trict would have to win its three remaining games and Klamath Falls, now holding the position would have to lose all three. In other words either a Cra te r loss or a Pelican win would gain, Klamath Falls a tourney place. And, the Com ets of Central Point are the underdogs in both their tilts this week. Reserve Darrell Miller like- lv will miss the week end ! Medford games. He has been home this week because of nado regular, may be in uni form but it is doubtful he'll see service. He turned an ankle in practice a week ago and missed the Klamath game, Dean shot around at the gym yesterday for the first time since getting the injury. He could not move too well, Shults All Right Jerry Shults, who sat out most of the Klamath fray after hurting his ankle, was pronounced all right by Roe landt. The coach said he may suit up a couple of jayvee players because of the injury to Dean and illness of Miller. One of the cagers may be Stan Dowson. At Central Point the Com ets have been scrimmaging quite a bit and have had "fun drills." Possible starters for Coach Lloyd Hoffine's team are Earl Cooper, Chuck Turn er, Dennis Edwards, Dave Sharp and Tom White. Varsity games at Medford and Central Point are planned for 8:15 p.m. There will be a 6:30 p.m. jayvee prelim at CP. At Medord Saturday Ash land and Tornado sophomores vie at 5:15 p.m. at Hedrick gym with the junior varsities to follow.

A game between this sea son's Medford and Yreka, Calif., basketball teams is something a good number of fans around here would like to see. It likely could not be arranged, at least from an Oregon School Activities as sociation standpoint, but it certainly would be a natural, say, for the championship of the "State of Jefferson." Yreka's Miners are unbeat en in 20 games this season and last week end cinched the Siskiyou County league championship. They are now candidates for the Tourna ment of Champions, top prep tourney of Northern Califor nia, March 10-11. The Miners are paced by Bill Wilson, 6-6 center.
