u O 2 B FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1961 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Medford, Kfamath Falls Scrap For Leadership in Conference It will be the battle of the Southern Oregon conference unbeaten here tonight and one of the clubs will go all out in an effort to make the most of a good break in the schedule. Medford's Black Tornado, the defending league and dis trict champion, engages the high flying Klamath Union High school Pelicans at 8:15 p.m. at Hcdrick maplccourt. While the Big Wind has the defender role, statewide poll sters have given Medford un derdog status in this game. Klamath is ranked No. 1 in Oregon prep polls and Med ford No. 2 and 4. Each aggre gation is 3-0 in the conference and 8-1 for the full season. The Pelicans are the ones who have a break. Their scramble with Medford this evening is their only game of the week end. And, therefore, they can concentrate on the Black Tornado. Medford, on the other hand, has two week end encounters on the court, The Tornadoes mix with Crater here on Saturday. Stress Defense Earlier this week, the Peli cans were reported stressing defense preparations against the Black Tornado and it was indicated that the drills would be more Intense thiln usual for this showdown ruckus for the front-running position in the circuit. End of the league sea 1 1 r-A f f 5v ffl RAIDER GUARD Dave Gardner, above, from Prospect, may be among the starters this evening for the Southern Oregon college Red Raiders when they open a two-game basketball erics this evening at Ashland with Oregon college. Gardner, a guard, has a 27-point total for SOC this season. SO Places Unbeaten OCC Status on Line with the first fourth ending ing tonight, is still a long way off, but a win at the stage of the slate is still mighty important to either team. Tonight's tangle will have in action four of the five top scorers in the league, three of them from Klamath Falls. Medford's 8-4 Bob Quinney has set the pace with 61. For the Pels, 5-10 Wally Palm berg has 57 and 6-3 Gary Patzke 48. Klamath's 6-7 Bruce Bricker shows only 30 for league games so far but has 126 for the full season to rank fourth among league players. Quinney has 158 for the full campaign, Palmberg 149 and Patzke 124. The KF starting crew picked by Coach Dean White probably will have Brickner, Palmberg, Patzke, Roy Taylor and Fred Biehn. Medford's Tutor Frank Roe landt has indicated a combin ation of Quinney, Scott Eaton, Dick Ragsdale, Jim Barry and either Stan Dowson or John Tichenor. Use of 8-3 Tichenor, strong rebounder, would give the Tornado a bit more height against the tall Peli can front crew. Sophomores of the two schools will meet at 6 P.m. at the senior high school and junior varsities get together at 6:30 p.m. at Hedrick. Saturday's soph and jayvee conflicts with Crater both will be as 6:30 p.m. on the re spective senior high and Hed rick floors. Medford's biggest basket ball crowd so far this season Is expected tonight. "It'll be big one, I tell you," said Coach Roelandt. He pro nounced his men all in good shape ' after the light Thurs day drill which followed hard Tuesday and Wednesday work. WILL OPPOSE PELS - Stan Dowson, above, is expected to see plenty of duty at a for ward spot for the Medford high basketball team when it meets Klamath Falls tonight and Crater on Saturday. Both frays are billed for the Hed rick gym here. Ashland - Injury - plagued Southern Oregon puts its un beaten record In Oregon Col legiate conference play on the line tonight by hosting Ore gon College in the first game of a week end series. Tipoff both nights will be at' 8 o'clock. The conference series will be the first action for coach Bob McCullough's Wolves while the hosting Raiders boast a 2-0 mark so far. Pro Grid Star Game On Sunday Los Angeles - WPD - Coach Vince Lombardi today named quarterback Johnny Unltas and right halfback Lcnnle Moore of the Baltimore Colls among his starters for the West Ail-Star Pro Bowl team against the East Sunday at the Coliseum. Lombardi, in naming his probable offensive lineup, held in reserve his two aces from the Green Bay Packers, quarterback Bart Starr and right halfback Paul Hornung, the National Football League's all-time scoring lender. Lombardi was apparently set on the strategy of letting teammates Unilas and his fav orite passing target, Moore, work together, at least for a while. Named with Unilas and Moore In the backtleld were Jon Arnctt of the Los Angeles Rams at left half and Jim Tay lor of the Packers at fullback. Coach Buck Shaw of the East squad named his Phila delphia Eagle quarterback Norm Van Brocklin as a start er In a backflcld with John Crow of the St. Louis Cardi nals and Tommy McDonald of the Eagles at halfbacks and Jim Brown of the Cleveland Browns at fullback. Coach Ted Schopf's Raider quint, weakened with the loss of Gordy Carrigan with an ankle sprain this past week, is defending co-champion of the OCC. The Wolves ended in the league cellar last sea son with a 5-11 record. Raiders Don Vannice and Jerry Shults also suffered twisted angles the same night Carrigan, SOC's All-Con ference guard and leading scorer, but Schopf is hoping both will be available for "limited duty". Ponible Starters Vannice, a forward, and Shults, a guard are listed as probable starters tonight, if they are able, while the rest of the Raider lineup will in elude Dave Gardner at the other guard, Dave Hughes at the other forward, and big John Payne at the center position. For the Wolves, McCullough will tab a lineup of probable starters including Lloyd Cole, 5-8, and Earl Goldmann, 5-10, at guards, Steve Rankin, 6-1 and Dennis Spencer, 8-1, at forwards, and Don llabcl, 6-2, at center. The OCE quint has already lost star guards Ron Jones and Roy Reeves earlier in the sea son because of scholastic prob lems, but this last week tow ering Al Hnrtcr, the Wolves' 8-8 center, left the squad for study purposes. ' OCE has a 1-7 record on the season. The Raiders sport a 5-6 mark thus far, including their two victories in confer ence action. Cubs Have Revolving Door Plan By GENE BLUDEAU Chicago - (UPD - The Chi cago Cubs staked their hopes for respectability today on Er nie Banks, an IBM machine, and the leadership of a "re volving door" staff of coaches. All - or almost all - of the instruments for success were at hand following a news con ference Thursday in which owner Phil K. Wrigley fired off announcements in all di rections. The slugging shortstop's services were assured when he signed a contract for a reported $65,000, represent ing a raise of $10,000. The extra money reflected Wrig- ley's gratitude for the 41 home runs blasted last season, lead ing both leagues, and his Cub career total of 269 four-baggers. As for the IBM machine, Wrigley promised it would be in the Cubs' dugout to keep up to the minute taps on op posing players. Whoever hap pens to be in charge of the Cubs on a given day - and it could be any one of eight fellows - will be able to check the machine for tips on wheth er Chicago batsmen should bunt, hit away, or keep the bat on their shoulders. The appointment of Vcrlon Walker brought the Cubs' to tal of coaches to seven and Wrigley promises to add one more. Even if the Cubs do no better than their second divi sion finish last season, they'll huvc more coaches than any other team. But the Cubs won't have a manager because to Wrigley the word means "dictator and "I don't want n dictator.' Instead the Cubs will have a "coach of the day, or week,' Wrigley said, largely depend ing on which coach is In a hot streak. The entire staff will revolve through the major and minor leagues, with the Cubs keeping four conches al a time and the others operat ing In tlie farm system. Tom Heath Manager Honolulu - (UPD - Tommy Heath, who managed the Port land Beavers last year, was named field pilot today of the new Honolulu team in the Pacific Coast league. Heath had been slated to manage the Sacramento So Ions next season but the club went out of business and the franchise was awarded to this Hawaiian city.

Eric Monti Grabs Lead In San Diego Golf Open Eagles Play Chieftains, Yreka High Eagle Point - Ball-handling and shooting have got the concentration this week as the Eagle Point Eagles tuned for two basketball scuffles. The Eagles go to Rogue River for a Rogue league brush this evening and enter tain Yreka, Calif., on Satur day night. Jayvees will play both nights. Either Eagle Point or Rogue River would find pleasure in Rogue league victory since each lost to Lakeview and to Henley in the league's open ing week end of play. More Ball Control ' EP Coach Dale Bates has indicated possible shakeup this week in his lineups. He pointed out that the Eagles have been losing the ball too much in efforts to fast break.

The University of Houston's basketball squad provided the striking force Thursday night by knocking Bradley, rated No. 2 in the nation, from the ranks of the unbeaten with a 60-59 victory. The Cougars triumph also snapped Bradley's two-season lA-gamc winning streak as well as its 12-0 record this year. It was on the same Houston Coliseum court a year ago that the Cougars up ended Bradley before the Braves went on their winning streak which included the Na tional Invitational Tourna ment title. Some solace for Bradley, shooting for the Missouri Val ley Conference title after finishing second for the last four years, may be that Hous ton has dropped from the league this season, thereby keeping the Braves' 4 0 con ference mark Intact.

Loutriiwrd Los Angcles-flJPD-It's Friday the 13th - and this may spell double trouble to Eric Monti, first round leader in the $20, 000 San Diego Open golf tournament, and possibly bring a spot of luck to Arnold Palmer - leading money win ner of I960 and early bust of 1961. Monti, 42, noted for his fast starts and slow finishes, fired a five-under par 66 Thursday to take the first round lead. Meanwhile, Palm er, who blew out of conten tion with a wild-fire 12 on the last hole of the first round of the Los Angeles Open, had a fine 69. But Monti can get into trouble without the "help" of Friday the 13th after any first round. And when night falls he could be among the also rans here. "But Friday the 13th won't mean anything to me," said Palmer. "I had enough bad luck on that last hole at Los Angeles to last me through the year." Tied for second place, each with 67s, were Gary Player, of South Africa; Jerry Barber, Los Angeles, and Marty Fur gol, Cog Hill, 111. ' Most of the other big names of golf were well within con tending position. At 68 came Don January, Dallas, Tex.; Bob Goalby, Crystal River, Fla., winner of the recent Los Angeles Open; Lionel Hebert, Lafayette, La.; Bo Wininger, Odessa, Tex.; Frank Boynton, Orlando, Fla.; and Darrell Hickock, La Grange, 111.

E. J. (Teddy) Wallham, sec retary of the British boxing board of control, gave Downes his official support by asking the Massachusetts boxing com mission to "interpret proper ly its rule against rabbit blows to the back of the head and neck during clinches. Downes declared: "If Pender uses rabbit punches on me like he did on Sugar Ray Robinson, I'll show him more rabbits than he ever dreamed of."
