    Fanfare
Key to the ability of the
Klamath Union High school
basketball team to stay on top
- of the Southern Oregon con-
lerenee despite crippled con
" dition is "tummy," according
' to Wayne Scott, sports editor
of the Klamath Falls Herald
and News.
Tummy, says Scott, is "a
' delicate word for guts." The
H-N writed gave the same rea
. son for the rise of Oregon
Tech hoopmen to the top of
the Oregon Collegiate con
ference. 5 The Klamath Pelicans, of
course, were without the ser
vices of regulars Bruce Brick--'
ner and Wally Palmberg in
their week end wins over Ash
I land and Klamath Falls and
" regular Ray Taylor did not
i start against Ashland because
'. of banged up knee cap.
This department will be
watching this week for word
on the degree of recovery of
Brickner from the mumps and
Palmberg from an appendec
tomy - since Medford high en
tertains the Pelicans on Friday.
WHITE ON CRUTCHES
Even Klamath Union Coach
Dean White was an invalid
last week end. He turned his
ankle in a Thursday city
league game and was on
crutches.
Salmon Cards.
To Be Returned
Portland - Anglers are re-
minded it's the time of year to
lend invaluable assistance to
ward the future of salmon and
steelhead angling in Oregon
waters..
The contribution they are
asked to render is a minor but
important one - return ' their
last year's salmon-steelhead
punch card to the game com
mission. The game commis
sion has povided all license
agents with punch card col
lection boxes to make it easy
and convenient for anglers to
make their returns. The punch
cards may also be returned
to the game commission's re
gional offices or mailed direct
ly to its Portland headquar
. ters, 1634 SI W. Alder.
According to state law, ang
lers are required to return
these cards following the ex
piration date. Failure to do so
may result in the angler being
refused a license or forfeit his
license in ensuing years.
Phil Schnider, state game
director, said the punch card
system of recording the sal
mon and steelhead catch is in
valuable in the over-all assess
ment of the resource as well
as stream by stream evalua
tion of the catch.
Night Shooting
On Wednesday
Medford Gun club will hold
a night trapshoot on Wednes
day. '
Shooting will start at 7
p.m.
Practice activity will be in
order and officers said that
the type of shooting "will de
pend on what the shooters
want."
THE CISSIC 181' "f
Beautifully built to set trends in styling and savings
beautifully built to take care of itself
This is probably the moit imitated Look
. in automobiles today. Take the rooflincr
for instance. (Most other cars have!) Yet
it looks best on its original setting, the
Fold Galaxic. The roof and all the rest
of the car were designed to go together.
This is what makes the Classic Ford Look.
Moreover, this car is as beautifully built
as it is beautifully shaped. As Ford takes
care of itself, it takes care of your budget.
See the rmtcr at right, and you'll con
clude: This is the Ford in your future.
Way we open its door to you . . . soon?

JAYVEES TAKE OVER
You might call the Black
Tornado "crippled." too, when
it fell to Grants Pass on Fri
day night. At least, the regu
lar cheer leaders were not on
hand to lead the Medford high
rooting section. They, we're
told, were dancing in "Fin
ian's Rainbow." Junior varsity
girls took over. Now, girls,
don't take this wrong.
LENS MISSING
Play in the Medford
Grants Pass hoop fray was
halted for several minutes,
while Caveman reserves
and referees searched over
the floor for a contact lens
CP's Mel Atkins was mis
sing. Some of the girls in
the GP rooting section -kept
pointing and squealing, in
dicating they saw the lens
on the floor. But. it wasn't
there at all. Guess wherel
Caveman coach G or d o n
Prohm found it up under
Atkins' eyelid where the
player couldn't feel it.
NAME NOT INCLUSIVE
Looks as if a new name
might be in order for the
A-2 high school Rogue league.
Its top two schools in basket
ball this season, Henley and
Lakeview, are not even in the
Rogue river valley. The league
is scattered over four coun
ties, Lake, Klamath, Jose
phine and Jackson. The league
does not intend to entertain
the thought of changing the
name, declares an official of
one school.
LEARNING YOUNG
Remember Dave New -land.
Medford high wrest
ler, pole vaulter and foot
baller who went on to Uni
versity of Oregon and won
the Pacific coast intercol
legiate mat championship in
his weight. He has a son,
Bucky, who is taking after
his father early. Bucky, just
three years old, vied in his
first wrestling match re
cently. Dave is wrestling
coach and geometry instruc
tor a t Springfield high
school where Norm Chap
man, another ex-Medford-ile,
is head football coach.
Bucky reportedly accompa
nies his dad to the prep
matches.
HOLE IN ONE
Doug Olson, Medford's ex
state pee wee champion, was
a recent hole-in-one scorer at
Rogue Valley Country club.
The ace came on No. 15 hole,
when Doug was playing over
the Medford links with his
mother, Mrs. Jerry Olson. No.
15 hole is 203 yards off the
tee.
JUNIOR HIGH BASEBALL
Heard a report the other
day that Medford school' sys
tem planned to start baseball
in the junior high with a dia
mond at new Jackson park
to be used by McLoughlin
Junior high. We inquired fur
ther and got a reply to this
efect from a school official:
"Show us diamonds ready
to be used and the year after
that we'll have baseball in the
junior high."
As we get it, a diamond
would be laid out at Haw
thorne park for use by Hod
rick Junior high.

Savitt Sings
Familiar Tune
New York (UPfl Dick Sav
itt, the U. S. national indoor
tennis champion for the third
time, is singing an old famil
iar tune.
"That's it as far as big time
tennis is concerned for me,"
he said after Monday's 6-2, 11
9, 6-3 triumph over Whitney
Reed of Alameda, Calif. "I
wouldn't even have played
this year if I didn't have the
chance to retire this trophy."
Savitt, 33, has said the same
thing over and over again for
the last three or four years
but he insisted this time, "I
mean it."
