Newspaper Page TextTornado Honored Opportunity to make a minor defeat a credit, the re sults of people giving some thing to their community and the values of athletics were pointed up last night at a din ner at Rogue Valley Country club honoring the Medford high basketball squad, its coach and its manager. Speakers were Glenn L. Jackson, vice president of Cal ifornia Oregon Power com pany and civic leader; Steve Belko, head basketball coach at University of Oregon and Ephraim (Red) Rocha, assis tant hoop mentor at Oregon State university. Likening the basket ball squad to the United States in the respect that "we've lost a few battles, but we'e never lost a war," Jackson told the team that it could work out that "this minor defeat that you've taken (in the final game of the state tournament) will be a credit to your side." He declared that the 1961 stale runnerup Black Tornado hoop club "can't be judged as second rate" although it did not get the state cham pionship. Community Spirit Asking "what makes this school system that we are all so proud of?" Jackson pointed to support of the system by the people and a community esprit de corps which has made it possible to attract a high caliber faculty. He stress ed the need to contribute something in interest and sup port and to create something in order to take something out. "Unless you put some thing in, there is nothing to take out," Jackson said. "Medford over the years has been an outstanding com munity because people have wanted to participate in the community and give some thing to it," he remarked be fore a capacity crowd of ban queters. . He mentioned that the play ers, to gain their success, had to sacrifice something in time and effort and give up pleasure times to train. Accept Challenge Jackson also discussed the balance in academic and ex tra - curricular activities of schools in preparing youth for participation in commun ity and national life. He stated that "youth today is accept ing a challenge that has been the greatest in our history." The speaker spoke of a study indicating that there is a greater acceptance of respon sibility among youth today than among adult citizens. Said Belko, "We in athletics have a great opportunity." He told of the good will and re spect created by sports and stated that some of the finest things done internationally are done in athletics. . The U of O mentor brought out that the modern boy in athletics, seeing that competi tion is more than just playing a game, is taking his studies more seriously and is getting better scholastically than ath letes of former years. Concerning the Medford Klamath Falls finale in this year's state hoop tournament, Belko said, "I don't think I have seen a better played bas ketball game. You boys should be proud of yourselves. The coaches have done a good job." Discussing the athletic program in the Med ford schools and the fine teams turned out by Medford high, Belko told the players, "You are the envy of all the high schools in the state." "Being an athlete is not an end," brought out Rocha. "Your ability as an athlete is a means to an education," he emphasized to the hoopsters. "Your community has given you the chance." It's not just talent that makes a basketball player, ac cording to Rocha. "You've got to learn to compete. You have to learn how to sacrifice and discipline yourself," he said. "You learn sportsmanship. That's just playing according to the rules," the OSC coach stated. It's obeying laws- in community life, he told his young listeners. Job of a coach is to teach players to play the game of life; If the coach docs not so teach them, he's "missing the boat." Rocha said. Crater Tips Ashlanders 3-2 in Baseball Tussle Crater high, tuning for this week end's opening of the Southern Oregon conference baseball counting competition, scored Its second win of the week yesterday in a kings-x game against league member Ashland at Ashland.

The cards v ere in recognition of the outstanding perform ance by the team. MacLeod brought out how the state tournament crowd got behind Medford and cheered it, seeing the teams tremendous desire. Medford Basketball Coach Roelandt, who has been term ed the prep coach of the year in Oregon, was recipient of an electric shoe shiner from his players. The presentation was made by Dick Ragsdale, all state player of the Black Tor nado. Ragsdale described a rigorous phase of Roelandt's coaching and remarked that "the end result we obtained through it was worth it." Finest Group Roelandt named his 1961 squad as the "finest group who came to a state tourna ment." He added, "This group knew it was No. 1 and went out to show they were going to be No. 1."

This was presented by team captain and all-stater Bob Quinney in appreciation for steak dinners served before Medford's last games of the regular season against Grants Pass and Klam ath Falls.

Site of the winding course for these midget speedsters is south of the Jackson county fairgrounds in Medford. Many of the local karting fans have been waiting for nearly a month now to get back in the swing of gunning their powerful little cars around the two-tenths mile track. Contestants are also expected to be present from Grants Pass, Crescent City and Roseburg. The Kart races are run in six separate classes depending upon the size and power of the engines and the age of the drivers. Some drivers arc only six or seven years old while others, old enough to be grand fathers, are avid contenders, too. Race officials say there will be trophies for the winners in all classes and some will be out to break track records. Contention is scheduled to begin at noon with time trials and tune-up runs followed by the eliminations and trophy dashes at 2 p.m. The public is invited to the races. Many contestants have their own fan club that regularly come out and root for them. Spectators are cautioned about parking in the area im mediately behind the track in that it is still soft from re cent rains. Ample parking area is available near the armory.

"Both the hitting and pitching look ed good for tiiis early in the season," said the Raider men tor.
