Winner of the tussle will go into the four-team playoff for the District 6 A-2 banner at Roseburg. Neither Ron Baker nor Tom Atchison of the Phoenix squad were in school yesterday but it was thought that both would be on hand for this evening's encounter. Baker turned an ankle in Wednesday practice and Atchison was thought to have had a cold. Phoenix tied for second in the Rogue league. Henley played an independent slate in the southern division of District 6, reserving the right to meet the Rogue No. 2 team for one of two southern berths in the district tourney.

Dodgers Enter War of Words United Prts International They've taken the Dodgers out of Brooklyn but they can't take Brooklyn out of the Dodgers. Here it is barely the open ing of the spring training sea-son-a real good fast ball has yet to be thrown-and the Dodgers are embroiled in a war of words. Their antago nist is an old pal-Charley Dressen who left them as a coach to manage the Milwau kee Braves. And the "needle" which got under the Dodgers' skin was a story in a national maga zine in which Dressen stated, "the Dodgers can't repeat." "What's blabber mouth got to say now?" asked outfielder Carl Furillo. "He's always popping off. That's typical of him. All I can say is that it'll keep us alive." "You can't win by talking," quipped Manager Walt Al ston, who then neatly side stepped further debate with Charlie the talker. 14' Burchcraft 15 h.p.

PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Squaw Valley-(UPD-Hockey's Yankee doodle dandies led the United States into what could be a banner day for Uncle Sam in the Winter Olympic Games today. There were four gold medals up for grabs and the U. S. had a good chance at two of them, the men's figure skating championship and the women's slalom. But even if they win-David Jenkins, the slim figure skat er from Colorado Springs, or one of the girls on the slalom team their triumphs couldn't possibly dim the lustre of two team triumphs Thursday: -Those eager, spirited. Yan kees who beat the favored Canadians in hockey, 2-1, Thursday night to remain the only undefeated team in the hockey competition. -The Finland 40 kilometers (25 mile) cross country relay team which nosed out Norway in one of the closest races in Winter Olympic history, thanks to a 35-year-old lum berjack. , Russian Captures Medal There was individual glory -and gold, too, for another Russian speed skater. Viktor Kosichkin captured the 5,000-meter speed skating event to give Russia its fifth speed skating medal of the games. m Tire 0( Recap each xi GUARAi i - - Grants rass TIRE TREAD SERVICE and GRANTS PASS, INC. 1112 Court. Medford 1149 Highway 199, Grants Pass But the Yanks-the devilish puckmen-were the heroes of a screaming mob of 8,000 which jammed Blyth Arena to cheer them on. Jenkins Trails Czechoslovakia!! In Skate Test Squaw Valley (UPD The United States, its hopes for a clean sweep in the event shat tered, today still looked at slender nervous Dave Jenkins for a gold medal in Olympics men's figure skating. The 23-year-old ice artist from Colorado Springs, Colo., trailing Czechoslovakia's Karol Divin after two days' skating of compulsory fig ures, was favored to win the gold medal because he excels in free skating. But it was to take some performance in today's . free style exhibition for Jenkins to assume the crown won by his brother, Hayes Alan Jen kins, in. the 1956 games in Italy. Twenty-year-old Alain Gi letti of France won the crown for Europe this year, regain ing the honor he held in 1955-56-57. Giletti was in third place in this Olympics, the third he has been in. Tim Brown of Berkeley, Calif., picked as Jenkins' closest rival in pre-Olympics guessing, had, trouble with the complsory figures and went into the free style in fifth place. In fourth was Canada's Don Jackson, second to Jen kins last year in the world championships. Norbert Felsinger. of Aus tria was next in line, trailed in seventh position by the third U.S. entrant, Bob Brewer of Alhambra. Adams Resigns As Hoop Coach Forest Grove-UPD-Vic Ad ams said he has turned in his resignation as head basketball coach at Pacific university which has lost 36 sttraight games over two years. Adams, an outstanding high school coach before returning to his alma mater has head hoop mentor four seasons ago, said he planned to return to teaching. With This Coupon ing with Yoo loaayi ii Phone SP 2-6969 of MEDFORD goalie John McCartan to congratulate him for his 39 saves in the game, 11 in the final period. The upset was one of the most stunning ones in the Winter Olympic games. (UPI Telephoto) Uncle Sam's boys method ically took the Canadians apart in the first two periods, building up a 2-0 lead, and then sat back and played the finest defensive game of then lives in the last period. When it was all over they mobbed their goalie, John Mc Cartan of St. Paul, Minn. They picked him up, they jumped on him and then built a "log pile" in the mic'dle of the ice with McCartan on the bottom as they "congratulat ed" him. He had made 39 saves during the game - and was under continual bombard ment during the last period. But he survived-and is ready to take on all comers. "We feel we have proved ourselves - to ourselves," he said after the game. "Now we feel that we can beat the hell out of anybody." They'll get that chance on Saturday: They tangle with the Russian Bear defending champions and games favor ites despite the fact they have been held to a draw by Swe den. But the heroes all weren't U. S. representatives Thurs day. Finland had a stand-out in Veikko Hakulinen, the ag ing lumber jack who anchored the relay team to victory. The Finns were trailing Norway by 200 yards going into the six-mile final lap and the Nor wegian skier was Hakon Brus veen, gold medal winner in the 15-kilometer race. Hakulinen took out after him, collared him with a mile to go - and then hung on to win by half a ski length, a little mors than two feet, in one of the closest ski race finishes in the history of the games. The U.S. team finished 11th -and last-in this event. On it were Andrew Miller, Crest ed Butte, Colo.; Karl Bohlin, Minneapolis, Minn.; John Den dahl, Boulder, Colo., and Peter Lahdenpera, Fort Leav enworth, Kan. U. S. Prospects Bright But the gold medal pros pects " for Uncle Sam were bright today. Penny Pitou, Laconia, N. H., with second place finishes in both the downhill and giant slalom is a good bet to win the world's ladies' Alpine championship. All she has to do is finish 10th. And many believe that, barring tough luck, she will win the Olym pic gold medal in the event. Betsy Snite of Norwich, Vt., also gives the U. S. team a good shot for a medal. Scandinavians Bid in Skating Squaw Valley -(LTD- The Scandin avians ' challenged Russia's domination of Win ter Olympic speed skating to day when they took their best shots in the 1500 meter event, the "metric mile.'.' The 1500 meter race is one of the classic events of speed skating and the top men from Norway, Sweden and Finland were trying to bring home the gold medal that in skating is to them the most desired of winter competition. The United States and the other participating nations were given little chance of breaking ' up the Scandina-vian-Russ duel. Jeff, G rovers Capture Titles Jefferson in the . National league and Oak Grove in the American circuit scored vic tories yesterday to win varsity championships in Medford dis trict grade school basketball. Jefferson nipped Roosevelt 30 to 29 for its seventh vic tory. Oak Grove wound up un marred in its loop by trim ming Lincoln 34 to 15. No inter - league play-off is planned. Tornadoes Take On Comets onight, Darrell Miller won't be in uniform but Lowell Dean will suit down and might see some action, Coach Frank Roelandt reported this morning as the Medford high basketball con tingent eyed its next to last week end of 1960 Southern Oregon conference rivalry. Medford opposes Crater at Central Point this evening and has its last home game against Ashland on Saturday night on Hedrick floor. Var sity games are billed for 8:15 p.m. . Other league scraps will be Grants Pass at Ashland to night and Crater at Klamath Falls tonight. Miller has been missing from the Tornado squad all week because of flu. Dean didn't see duty against Klam ath Falls last Saturday be- U.S. Lady Ski Crew Determined Squaw Valley - (UPD Four blonde skiers shoved off Pa poose Peak today in the Win ter Olympics ladies slalom grimly determined for a vic tory for the United States and their injured teammate. The U.S. gals, all 21 and "American beauties," made their last bid for an Alpine win in the games-events they were supposed to have locked. The ladies' slalom event closed out the mountain ski ing and the Yankee gals are still seeking their first Alpine gold medal. ' Top tavorlte among the quartet was Penelope (Penny) Pitou of Laconia, N. H., so far she has achieved silver medals for second placings in the gi anf slalom and downhill. The other lassies carrying the .U.S. hopes were Betsy Snite, Norwich, Vt.; Renie Cox, a Denver University student from Port Leyden, N.Y., and Beverly Anderson, Mullan, Idaho. Replaces Linda Miss Anderson replaced Linda Meyers of Mammoth Lakes, Calif., who spilled in the giant slalom Tuesday. Linda was hospitalized with a fractured collarbone, but hoped to be among the crowd at the Papoose finish line. The competition was tough for the quartet. The field of 46 included downhill winner Heidi Biebl of Germany, sev enth off in the race, and Switzerland's Yvonne Ruegg, giant slalom champion who was the 30th starter. The glamorous Penny was expected to emerge as win ner of the world alpine com bined title sponsored by the International Ski Federation, not an Olympic title but awarded off the combined results of the women's compe tition. She needed only to stay on her feet and finish at least 10th to take home the world j trophy.. "I don't care about that world title," declared the saucy U. S. star. "What I want is a gold medal and I'm going all out." THIS LUXURIOUS '60 DODGE was not designed for people interested in "minimum transportation." It was built for people who don't want to compromise on room and com fort, who like their performance on the zesty side, and who want style and luxury and insist on getting it.

Crater High Freshmen Grab Toga Crater high's freshmen claimed the southern Oregon ninth grade unofficial basket ball diadem last night after whipping McLoughlin of Medford 61 to 42. Central Point eighth grade trimmed McLoughlin 33 to 27 and the Mac seventh tipped the Pointers 23 to 15 in other games. The Comet frosh completed their season with an 18-2 record. Mike Glines zoomed in 34 points to spur the Crater club last night. He had 14 field goals on 24 shots and six free points on 10 tries. His total would have been higher but for four missed lay-ins. Jack Lowery had 17 points for the Bulldogs. Pull Away The teams were close to gether in scoring much of the time but the Comets capital ized on steals to get their final margin. McLoughlin ninth led at the quarter 7 to 6 and Carter at the other per iod stops 22 to 14 and 40 to 27. CP eighth broke away from a 27 to 25 edge to tally three goals to Mac's one in the last 33 seconds. The Pointers had 16 to 9, 21 to 13 and 21 to 18 quarter margins. Burd put in 11 points for CP and Jim Allen eight for the Bulldogs. McLoughlin seventh com piled 7 to 2, 14 to 8 and 18 to 13 quarter differences.

Still sought, however, is an undefeated season in the loop. Crater has slim hopes of a tie for second place in the circuit but a loss to Medford would end that possibility. A Klamath Falls win or a Crater setback in any remaining game would ascertain the KF Pelicans second spot and the other of two places in the state tourney from the dis trict. Klamath holds second by three games over the Comets. Ashland yet seeks a 1960 conference triumph. Coach Earl Iba may pick his Ashland starters from among Phil Tucker, Dave Jackson, Jerry Hauck, Bob Hardy, Steve Harris, Harley Dickerson and Steve Gray. Medford has three previous wins this year over Crater and Ashland. Klamath has three verdicts over Crater and GP three over Ashland. Jayvees play at 6:30 o'clock at Central Point this evening.
