Tornado Plays Ashlanders, Grants Pass; Crater Will Be Host To Klamath Falls Week end objective of the Medford High school basket ball team Nail down a berth in the Oregon Class A-l tourn ament. To do this to clinch a third trip, if it is to be ac complished this week the Black Tornado must subdue both Ashland and Grants Pass. Medford vies at Ashland on Friday evening and entertains the GP Cavemen at Hedrick gym here on Saturday night. Klamath Falls, in two week end encounters, will aim to sew up the Southern Oregon conference District 6 A-l championship. The Pelicans meet Crater at Central Point AAV MEET HERE A southern Oregon dist rict AAU basketball play off is scheduled with Satur day and Sunday contests at Hedrick Junior High school gymnasium here,; Entrants will include Wooden Shoe of Medford,. Roundup of Klamath Falls, Coquille, Drain and Rose burg. Wooden Shoe is the second place team in the Southern Oregon Independ ent league and represents this area because the loop leader. Southern Oregon college junior varsity did not desire to enter. on Friday night and are Sat urday hosts' to Ashland. Kla math already has secured one of the two District 6 state tourney spots. Crater and Ashland are out of the running but would en joy spoiler roles. There's little that they can spoil for the Pels, however, except pres tige. Klamath is strongly fav ored in both its week end scuffles but has run into trouble consistently on Cra ter's home court before top ping the Comets. Crucial Games For Medford, although both games are crucial, a victory over Grants Pass means the most. The Cavemen, who have taken one of the three previ ous tangles from the Tornado, are just one game behind the Tornado in the conference standings. If the Climate city club is fired and clicking like it was in the last meeting at' Grants Pass, when the Cave men won, then. Medford will have a rousing battle on its hands. Coach Frank Roelandt of the Medford team had little to report from practice ses sions this week except to say that his contingent is in good physical health. Veterans Bob Quinney, Dick Ragsdale and Jim Barry are rather certain to be starters. Roelandt was GENERAL NYLON SAF-T-MILER TIRES H FULL STRENGTH! FULL WEIGHT! NO SECONDS!

It'll likely be a choice from among Scott Eaton, Stan Dowson, Mike Hood, Steve Hoots and George Clearwater. Ashland likely will employ a platoon syetem again with duties among 10 men. Grants Pass, with just one game on the week end will have a starter combine from among Clyde Murray, Jim Davis, Dave Hauntz, Jim Hamilton, Mel Atkins, Jim Blacksmith and Bob Lewel lyn. Crater's club may be from among Loyal Higinbotham, Mike Glines, Louis Alvarez, Tom White, Dennis Edwards, Jim Allen and Jeff Anhorn. At Klamath Falls, Bruce Brickner, who had the mumps, and Wally Palmberg, who had an appendectomy, are back with the Pelicans. Brickner's duty will be much limited and Palmberg likely, too, will see just part time service. Fred Biehn, suffered a split hand this week. The split, in practice, occurred between the index and middle fingers and required stitches. Among the KF players who could be starters are Gary Patzke, Ray Taylor, Kent Hunsaker, Sherm Allen and Wayne Dennis. r.A W 'tva'',''. 3ft J! LAKE OFFERS ICEBOATING Lake of the Woods is offering recreation this winter. Two Medford men have been testing ice boats there with success and more Medford enthusiasts are reported building craft with the hope of racing next winter. The Medford ' men, Lee Hobbs and John Chipin, each have constructed iceboats, skeletal and ghostly craft of wood, wire and sail that can streak at high speeds when wind is right. Hobbs is pictured here. The boat is just over 10 feet long and seven feet wide. Its mast is IB feet high. With a 20-mile per hour crosswind, it can attain a speed of 40 miles per hour. Hobbs and Chipin are looking forward to better road conditions. They have been traveling the Dead Indian rd. on four-wheel drive vehicles. Ice was 9 inches thick on the lake at the winter peak and ideal for boat ing. (Charles M.
