Tornado at Ashland Tonight, Faces GP Here on Saturday; Crater Entertains Klamath -mis is it as lar as we " are concerned. The door opens, : or n is slammed shut, de pending on how you play against a tougn Blacfc Tor nado team that is going to be at its best on its home court. . . That, according to Jerry " Acklin, in the Grants Pass Courier, is what Coach Gor don Prehm told his Grants: Pass High basketball squad this week. "We've got to live basketball all week if we are going to state," he empha - sized. .: The foregoing quotes indi cate that Cavemen of the Cli- mate City have been concen trating hard all week for their battle with the Medford Black Tornado on the Hedrick . maplccourt here on Saturday night. Beating the Big Wind, as the foregoing remarks bring out, is the Cavemen's main hope of going to the Oregon Class A-l tournament at Eugene after missing it for t the past two seasons. Qualification A third straight trip to state is assured for the Tornadoes It , they can whip the Cave men for the third time in ,1 four games during the 1960- 1961 campaign - but with one important qualification. The ; Black Tornado must put first t things first and beat the Ash- land High Grizzlies at Ash ! land tonight in the fourth and I' final game of the season with the Bruins. :'' Other activity in the Soulh S ern Oregon conference, which v corresponds to District 6 A-l, will have Klamath Falls op- posing Crater at Central Point f tonight and Ashland going to t Klamath Falls on Saturday.

Whether the Tornadoes have been as . intense and ; worked up in their drills this week as have apparently been Uhe Cavemen is a matter of i question. But, there is no doubt that the Medford drills J have been just as purposeful iwith the tourney issue at -stake. Medford Coach Frank Roe alandt reported his Medford ? contingent physically ready. Whether they are mentally ready for the Grizzlies and the Cavemen, is up to them, 'the mentor declared. He said that Steve Hoots likely will be starter again with choice ;between Scott Eaton and Stan Dowson for another spot. Bob !Quinney, the third high prep scorer in Oregon, Dick Rags jdale and Jim Barry are prob Sable starters. For Ashland Coach Earl jlba may platoon from among '10 men. These include Gale Tepper, Dave Everett, Bob -'Voris, Rick and Larry Pierce; -Jerry Hauck, Jim Doster, Ste wart Hedges, Sid DeBoer and Dallas Brownson. ' : GP Coach Confident :: : Prehm's GP starting crew . will be from among Jim Ham ; ilton, Jim Davis, Dave Hauntz, 'Clyde Murray, Mel Atkins, ;Jim Blacksmith and Bob sLewellyn. The Climate City ''tutor also pronounced his ,'cagers in good physical condi tion and expressed hope that their mental state will be at its peak. .

Prehm Is aiming for top and balanced offensive and defensive performances from his crew. He was quoted as saying, "I'm more confident of the boys this time than at any time this season." Klamath at Central Point will attempt to tuck away the Southern Oregon conference mantle. It already is sure' of one of the two state tourney berths from the district. Crater will aim to repeat the tough opposition it has given Klamath at Central Point but to do just a bit better this time and beat the Pelicans. "Our main hope," said Cra SIPCDIRiTrS Rogue League Cage Slate Ends It will be almost, but not quite, anti-climax this evening when the Rogue league closes out its basketball schedule. Games are Henley at Lake view, Eagle Point against Il linois Valley at Cave Junction and Rogue River at Phoenix. Henley (8-1) is certain of no less than a co-championship which Lakeview (7-2) can win by trimming the Hornets. Eagle Point (4-5) will battle' to hang on to third place in the final standings. Illinois Valley (3-6) can have a share of that spot by beating the Eagles. Phoenix (3-6) is still in the running, too, for a third place tie. Rogue River (2-7) can't get out of the cellar but will try to welcome company. Henley and Lakeview will represent the Rogue league on March 3 and 4 in the District 6 A-2 championship playoff at Southern Oregon college in O SC H os t Ducks Face Pilots United Press International Southern California's nationally-ranked Trojans open Hearts May Break This Week End United Press International Many a heart is sure to break before this week end's coast cage activity has ended. . For instance, USF (6-1) and St. Mary's (5-2) clash Satur day night at the Oakland Civic Auditorium with the loser just about out of the tight West Coast Athletic confer ence race. One or both could even fall tonight as the injury-riddled Dons host rugged Santa Clara while St. Mary's faces defense minded San Jose State at San Jose. Loyola (8-2) has a non league' breather with , San Diego U tonight. ' It's been a rough week for the Dons who have seen vet eran guard Bob Gaillard out of action because of a knee injury and second-string cen ter Andy Garth suspended from school. ' UCLA is also faced with a must-win situation as it in vades the dens of relaxed California and Stanford, both out of contention. The Bruins are 3-3, and still have dreams of catching USC (6-2). The Trojans face Oregon State at Corvallis twice. Al though the contests are non league,7 Troy will be out to defend its number six nation al ranking and silence whis pers that the Trojans can not win tough ones on the road. Rebounding Washington has apparently found itself, but too late. The Huskies are 6-4 in Big Five play and meet a pair of time-honored but non league foes this week end in contests at Idaho and Wash ington State. Seattle is at Montana State with an at-Iarge berth in the NCAA probably assured for the Chieftains if they win. The Chieftains 16-7 season mark is best in the Northwest. Portland and Oregon match 12-9 records in another con test tonight between two teams either of which might draw the second at-large invi tation from the coast were it able to muster up a small win streak at season's end. The OCAA and Far West conference also hit fever pitch tonight as the first and sec ond teams face each other. ! Long Beach (5-3) needs a jwin at Santa Barbara (6-2) to I stay in the CCAA chase, but ter Coach Lloyd Hoffine,- "is to hit the hoop well early in the game." The Comets will be short on height compared to the Pels. Possible opening gang for Crater is Dennis Edwards, Loyal Higinbotham, Tom White, Mike Glines and Louis Alvarez. KF choices of Coach Dean White could be from among Wally Palmberg, Bruce Brick ner, Gary Patzke, Ray Taylor, Kent Hunsacker, Sherm Allen and Wayne Dennis? Status of Fred Biehn is uncertain be cause of a split hand. Palm berg and Brickner are due for limit service because of re cent bouts with appendicitis and mumps, respectively. Tonight Ashland. The two from the Umpqua Valley league in the runoff will be from among Glendale (8-2), Sutherlin (8-3) and Glide (7-3). In final regu lar Umpqua games this week end Glendale meets Glide and Sutherlin and Glide also meets Douglas. A two-way tie for either first or second s possible. Eagle Point will be after a fifth straight win; A victory would give the Eagles a break even record in the league and a better than even mark for the full season. They are now 10-9 for the 1960-1961 slate. Coach Dale Bates said that EP will be without its lead ing scorer, Mike Palm, who had to be in Portland on "busi ness. Possible Eagle starters are Dick Wilson, Charles Pom eroy, Ron Greb, Steve Geren and Ron Weidman. Tom Per due, likely, will see consid erable action. - T ro j a ns; a two-game invasion of Ore gon tonight. The Trojans tangle with the off-and-on Oregon State Beav ers at Corvallis in the renewal of one of the oldest basketball coaching rivalries in the na tion. In the state's other major hoop attraction this week end, the Oregon Ducks, in the midst of a four-game losing streak, and Portland tangle tonight at Vancouver, Wash.

Lewis and Clark, 8-4, meets College of Idaho to night and Saturday at Cald well and Whitman at Walla Walla Monday. Pacific meets Whitman in a week end pair. Santa Barbara, one of the West's best smaller teams, rates as heavy favorite to pick up all the marbles. In the Far West loop the once - beaten duo of Nevada and Sacramento State go at it at Sacramento. The Hornets are given the favorite's role on the basis of their 16-7 season's record, home court advantage, and the sharp play of John Dille. Poison Oak?
