Tornado
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.

Miami, Fla.-IUPII-Fighter In
gemar Johansson won permis
sion to leave the United Slates
today with the understanding
he would leave a lot of his
money behind and return
whenever the courts need
him.
Federal Judge EmeU C.
Choate signed an order per
mitting the Swedish fighter
to return home after Johns
son pledged in open court to
return whenever he is needed
for further hearings on his
income tax troubles with the
U.S. government.
Johnsson pleaded that he
needed to get home because
his brother had undergone
brain surgery.
The United States has kept
him from traveling since his
third heavyweight champion
ship bout with champion
Floyd Patterson at Miami
Beach March 13.
The government claimed Jo
hansson owes more than $1
million in income taxes. Jo
hansson contended the United
States has no claim on his
earnings because he is a citi
zen of Switzerland.

Kart Club
Will Race
On Sunday
After being rained out for
the last two scheduled races
members of the Medford Go
Karl club are hoping this
week's fine weather will con
tinue through Sunday so they
can get their Kart races into
action on the Medford track.
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.
