Fanfare We told Bruce Engel, prep sports writer for the Portland Oregonian, the other day that the Southern Oregon confer ence gladly would share some of its physical woes in basket ball with other leagues in the state. Latest reported casualty in the Southern Oregon circuit is Larry Janssen of Grants Pass who may be out for the sea son because of the fusion of two vertabrae. At Klamath Falls center Bruce Brickner has the mumps and there's fear he's exposed guards Wal ly Palmberg and Fred Biehn. At Central Point Crater center Bryson LaCasse has the mumps and varsity reserve Pat Pepper has a bad ankle sprain. Knicks End Six Tussle Loss String United Press International Maybe it was the threat to pull them out of New York that did it, but the down trodden Knickerbockers fin ally managed to look like pros. No matter what the reason, they turned in one of their finest performances of the Na tional Basketball association season Tuesday night when they snapped a six-game los ing streak with a 131-120 vic tory over the Detroit Pistons. Willis Naulls was the pace maker, scoring 49 points and equalling a Madison Square Garden record one day after Knick president Ned Irish had said there might not be a New York entry in the NBA next season. Naulls made 15 baskets in the first half to tie a Garden record set by Elgin Baylor of Los Angeles last Nov. 15 when the Lakers' star scored his record total of 71 points. The Knicks led from the second period on after the Pistons had jumped to a 6-0 lead at the outset. Don Ohl paced the Pis tons wtih 33 points. , Celtics Stretch . The Boston Celtics stretch ed their winning streak to five games with a 96-95 decision over the Los Anglers Lakers. Bob Cousy's foul shot with 11 seconds remaining proved to be Boston's winning margin. The Lakers played minus Baylor, who was on the side lines with a sprained ankle. To add to the Lakers' woes, Rudy LaRusso was banished with about 20 minutes remain ing when he got into an argu ment with referee Earl Strom. Jerry West of Los Angeles led all scores with 29 points while Bill Russell was high man for Boston with 26. The St. Louis Hawks reg istered their 11th straight vic tory at home by beating the Philadelphia Warriors, 127 124. Bob Pettit of the Hawks out-rebounded the taller Wilt Chamberlain and almost matched him point lor point, scoring 35 to The Stilt's 37. Clyde Lovellette was Pettit's chiefs aide with 29 points. CLASSIC BEAUTY and it has Volkswagen's famous rugged dependability! THE KARMANN GHIA Not many people ever see a Karmann Ghia, much less own one. Too few Ghias are made only several thou sand each year. P--ple who own Ghias rarely offer them for sale a Ghia toes not wear out or go out of style. One reason is the way it looks: Ghia of Turin designed It. Equally important is the way it's built: Karmann, Europe's noted custom coachmaker, produces it. Power for the Ghia comes from Volkswagen's celebrated air-cooled rear engine. It neither freezes nor overheats, runs efficiently all day at top speed. Inexpensive (and rarely needed) service is available at all authorized VW dealers. A Ghia costs as tittle to run and maintain as the Volkswagen itself. There are two Ghia madels: hard-top and air-tight con vertible, in choice of beautiful colors. Ever see a Ghia? Up close? Come in. MORSE MOTORS Southern Oregon Volkswagen Headquarters 6th and Ivy - Medford AUTHORIZED DEALER By DICK JEWETT Mill Tribuna Sporti Editor Grants Pass, from Daily Courier writer Jerry Ack len's reports, has had more than its share of troubles in basketball, Janssen, whose ailment is a recurrence of an old back injury, is the third starter from the 1959 60 Caveman team to be side lined. Gary Hugoboom was prevented from turning out at all this season because he suffered a dislocated neck last summer in an auto acci dent. Then Dan Mclntire had to give up basketball because of a knee injury received last summer and made worse during football season. Then there's been GP's Al Staley. who's just back after a bout with measles which followed toe trouble. COACH'S SON ILL Along with Crater mentor Lloyd Hoffine's player trou bles Sunday - he spent time in Central Point because of Pepper's injury - he found his own 1-month old son, Jeff, was sick. The youngster was hospitalized because of bron chial trouble. DOWSON TAKES EXAM A check with Medford hoop coach Frank Roelandt this morning uncovered no Black Tornado physical troubles. However, Stan Dowson was absent from drills Tuesday and this afternoon to take Naval re serve officer training corps examinations. FINE GRIDDERS LEFT OFF Selections for the annual Class A Shrine football game all-star State squad saw four Medford high players named but did not leave us with un mitigated joy because some worthy Medfordites had to be left off. There's a four-player limit from any one school. Tornado choices, as previously announced were guard Al Funston and backs Dick Rags dale, Phil Humphreys and Dan Sieg. On the alternate list are back Mike Hood and end Bob Quinney. An all-Southern Oregon con ference choice to make the squad was Ashland's fleet back, Bob Voris. Guard Larry Ryerson of Crater, who col lected most of his teams awards for the 1960 season, is an alternate. We may be way off base but it's our contention that you could take a squad of seniors from Medford's 1960 aggregation and have a club about as strong, if not as strong, as any State or Metro all-star club picked in the state. St. Mary's 8th Trims North GP St. Mary's of Medford de feated North Grants Pass 34 to 30 yesterday in an eighth grade basketball game. The Knights had a 19 to 15 halftime gap. Randy Corliss put in 12 points for SM and John Batzer 10. Howerton had 10 for North. 1 St. Mary's won from Gold Hill 44 to 34 last week end. T Prospect Cougars Beat Butte Falls in Prospect Prospect high took a full game lead over St. Mary's in Jackson County B league basketball last night by trimming Butte Falls 58 to 41. The Cougars now stand 6-1 in the loop and St. Mary's is 5-2. Butte Falls finished the league action with an 0-8 standing and is through for the season. St. Mary's is host in Med ford to Prospect next Tuesday night. Prospect will be cham pion if it wins. A Crusader victory would force a playoff for the mantle. St. Mary's was 1960 champ.

After brief ties of 24- ; all and 30-all, the Owls began to move and with only 5:53 left on the clock, had an eight point lead of 48-40, largest margin of the evening. Press Works At that point the Raiders applied a full court press which did not fail. It took effect immediately as Jerry Shults canned a long jump from the corner and Lorance Eikworth followed suit. Smith then hit for OTI. Shults came back after a steal to hit from close in to trim the OTI lead to four points again. Carrigan kept the rally going with a long set shot and Shults made it 50-all at 2:10 to go with a tip in. Smith hit a tip for the Owls for 52-50 but Carrigan shot single free tosses on two dif ferent trips to the foul line to deadlock the count at 52-52 with 1:13 left.

EnMSetts JOHNSTON STORES 112 South Riverside Attorney Cities, Its City home rule actually de- However, the county can veloped out of a series of I not relieve itself of any duty court decisions, and the same evolution will probably be re- quired before county home rule is firmly established, Orval Etter, research attorney for the bureau of municipal research, Eugene, told a spe cial meeting yesterday after noon in Medford hotel. Such judicial clarification is costly, but not more expen sive than other activities by lawyers, Etter noted. Etter has been delegated by the bureau of municipal re search as its consultant to Oregon counties, and the nine counties presently consider ing the possibilities of home rule. Should the . local study committee favor home rule, Etter could assist in drafting a charter to be voted on by the people. The lawyer emphasized at the start of the meeting with the home rule charter study committee, local representa tives of the League of Women Voters, and other interested persons that he cannot be sure of every facet of his answer. Affect on Power Basically, state legislation is needed to broaden the powers of the county to incur indebtedness, and enable it to use Bancroft bond procedures as cities do. Charters the bureau of mu nicipal research has helped Oregon cities establish since 11135 have been "pretty uni form." So this does not mean that when Oregon counties adopt home rule charters thai uniformity would "go out the window," he explained. The home rule charter amendment to the stale con stitution answers many ques tions, Etter noted. Home rule charter study committees can receive "pretty clear guid ance" from it, he added. It states that ' the county charter shall prescribe the or ganization of the county gov ernment. Under city home rule, the state cannot amend or repeal its provisions. This is not clear on county home rule, Etter noted. But it is im plied that people have an au thority which would limit the state legislature, he said. Provide for Officials A charter also would pro vide for the number, election, appointment, qua lifications, tenure, powers and duties of county officials. The people set the term of office and how many county officials should be appointed or elected, and determine the number and their qualifications among other things, Etter said. Macmillan's Son Assails Leadership London - IUPII - Prime Min ister Harold Macmillan's son, Maurice, 40, startled Parlia ment and the nation Monday night by assailing his father's leadership. "I am afraid the govern ment has neglected the re sponsibilities of leadership within this country," the younger Macmillan said. He urged his father's cub inct to allow small investors larger tax exemptions and to make other modifications in its fiscal policies. The prime minister had lift, the chamber before his son spoke, but he could hardly have failed to hear of the speech later. It was the main topic of political talk In Brll taln today "Mr. Macmillan hasn't lost a son," said the conservative tabloid Dall Sketch. "He has gained an opposition."

The coun ty is more an agent of the state than the cities, the law yer noted. The state can also impose new requirements, but it is up to the home rule coun ty to say how these duties would be discharged. The amendment does not give the county exclusive powers over matters of coun ty concern, nor did the city hone rule. This could only be decided in the courts, Etter reiterated. He said lie understood it was the intent of the people who prepared the amendment to give the county such exclu sive powers. Matters of coun ty concern are differentiated from matters of municipal concern, however. The county cannot Interfere with city powers. Tends To Free County The home rule amendment tends to free the county from the restrictions of the stale constitution, Etter explained. However, the 6 per cent limit on budget increases would still apply under home rule. The $5,000 debt limit cannot be changed except by the state legislature. Cities could be represented on the county governing body, Etter suggested. The Coos Bay charter provides such representation, he noted. Etter said he county cannot impose more duties on the court. Hbwever, he thought the state legislature would empower district courts to handle violations of county or dinances which would go hand in hand with the expanded county powers under home rule. Under home rule, initiative and referendum powers would still be reserved to the people. Some proposals are already before the legislature which cover some aims considered for home rule, the group noted. Local Improvements These include allowing the county to Bancroft for local improvements, abolishing the position of county judge in counties where he has no ju dicial functions, permit the county to hold special charter elections, authorize the coun ty court to license businesses SAIMFn PLYWOOD BLOWS 3A.A .0 $1 o ' A Per sheet SL.A Q $995 3 iau Per sheet 34-4x8 3"persheet U.S.G.
