ing a 7-1 pre -league mark
while Eagle Point is 3-3, is
small and fast.

iiv Action
Southern Oregon confer
ence Basketball makes its
1881 debut at Grants Pass to
night when the. Cavemen en
tertain defending champion
Medford high
On the basis of previous
performances against c o m-
mon foes, Medford's Black
Tornado rates the edge for
the .contest. The Tornado
holds victories over Marsh-
lield and North Bend which
subdued Grants ' Pass and
romped over Ashland by a
more decisive margin than
did the Cavemen.
However, GP aggregation
has more overall veteran
strength and better front line
height and is an improving,
good ball-handling club that
could catch its shooting eye
when it faces the Medford ad
versary. The Cavemen, too,
are ambitious to gain maple
court victory over the Torna
do after four losses at the
hands of the Big Wind last
season.
The fracas will be the only
one of tile week end for Med
ford which draws a bye in the
Saturday conference round.
Grants Pass has a jaunt to
Klamuth Falls tomorrow eve
ning lo meet the club which
is favored in the league. The
Cavemen enter this evening's
skirmish with only one league
fray behind it while Medford
will engage in its third game
in the circuit.
Medford's Coach Frank
Roelandt has indicated a start
ing crew consisting of Bob
Quinney, Jim Barry and Dick
Ragsclale, his only veterans,
plus Scott Eaton and either
Mike Hood or Stan Dowson.
For Grants Pass, Coach
Gordon Prchm is expected lo
call upon Jim Hamilton and
Jim Davis at forwards, Clyde
Murray at center and Larry
Jansscn and Bob Lcwellyn at
guards. Dave Hauntz and Jim
Blacksmith are listed as first
line GP reserves.
Davis, Murray and Hauntz
are all 6-4 in height as is
Medford's Quinney.
Al Staley, getting over an
ankle sprain, and Lee Burton,
recovering from a cold, are
reserves who likely will have
just limited work for the
Cavemen.
the two clubs have the best
defensive for the full season,
among clubs of the confer
ence. Medford has allowed
322 points in eight games and
Grants Pass 353 in seven. The
Tornado is leader in total scor
ing with 4110 points and
Grants Pass fourth with 380
However, GP is third in scor
ing average with 54.3 per
game to Crater s 40.2.
Quinney with 130 points is
high scorer in the season for
Ihe Black Tornado while
Jansscn heads Grants Pass
with 74.
The varsity scrape is set for
8:15 p.m. with junior varsity
games at 6:30 p.m. Sopho
