-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.

S ern Oregon conference, which

i Purposeful
! 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

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

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.
Oregon State and Southern
Cal play again Saturday night
at Corvallis. The contests
bring together Oregon State
veteran mentor Slats Gill and
Forrest Twogood of Southern
Cal.
Gill, who is in his 33rd year
at Oregon State, and Two
good, in his 11th at the Trojan
school, have met in 39 games
in a 16-season span with Gill's
clubs coming out on top 23
times.
Formerly At Idaho
The rivalry includes six
years at Idaho for Twogood.
Coach Al Negratti of Port
land will be after his 100th
Pilot victory against Oregon
tonight. i
Seattle leads the standings
among Northwest indepen
dents with a 16-7 mark. Ore
gon State is 13-9 and Oregon
12-9.
In small college action, Ore
gon Tech and Linfield go
after titles. Oregon Tech
hopes to wrap up the Oregon
Collegiate Conference crown
in a week end pair against
OCE at Monmouth. Portland
State and Eastern Oregon,
both 9-5, meet at Portland.
Linfield, with a 10-4 mark,
completes Its Northwest Con
ference schedule against Wil
lamette at Salem Saturday
night. 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.
