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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
He said that the club will use
a bit more ball control, slow
ing its attack in an effort for
better ball - handling. Better
shooting is also desired for
the Eagles.
Bates reported that sopho
more Bill Hoefft has looked
good in workouts. Working
hard on defense and showing
well has been Wally West.
Ron Weidman has rejoined
the squad.
The coach said that Ron
Grab, who played some good
steady ball last week, likely
will be at center this evening.
Guards will be Tom Perdue
and Mike Palm or Steve Ger
en and forwards could be
sophomore Charles Pomeroy
and Dick Wilson or Dennis
Chamberlain.

United Press International
Don't tell the Bradley
Braves you can strike oil in
Houston, they've been struck

there.
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

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

Don January, Dallas, Tex.;
