Referees Meet On Wednesday A meeting of the Rogue Val ley Basketball officials associ ation will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Medford High school, new President Loren Soderlund has an nounced. He said that attendance of referees is "extremely" impor tant since assignments for the first games of the season will be made. Soderlund reported that Golden Noble, Medford, has reconsidered and has accepted the southern Oregon basket ball referee commissioner post.

Amnira't only V-! ror otji'nf nimble, quick performance on very little Fanfare North Salem's 8-3 season football record does not seem so impressive as Medford High's 10-0. But. examination will show that the Vikings, who meet Medford next Fri day night for the Oregon Class A-l title, have won all their important games. Only North losses were non-conference. And in league play, the Viks turned around and licked a club which bounced them earlv in the season. TWO COMMON FOES Friday's big school finalists have met two common foes this fall. Medford won 20 to 0 from South Salem. North lost to that school 20 to 0, then later beat the Saxons 20 to 6 when it counted. The Black Tornado won 14 to 7 from Roseburg which beat North Salem 27 to 14. MAMMOTH SALEM LINE Medford will be faced with a huge line both ways when it takes on the Vikings. At the North Salem offensive flanks are a pair of 170 pound ers. But, in between are two 210s, a 220. a 205 and a 194. Smallest man on the probable starting defensive line for North is 194. The Viks, other wise, have a 230-pounder, a couple of 210s. a 205 and a 200 even player. Medford has no weight to match this. Grants Pass Coach Mel In gram saw North Salem play Jefferson last Friday. "They're big and strong," Mel said of the Viks. "If it's wet they'll be tough (for Med ford)," he indicated. j North has another 'im pounder in fuliback, Gary Col lette, whom Ingram says is "just about as good a boy as you'll find anywhere." ONE OF FINEST A. Oden Hawes, executive secretary-treasurer of the Ore gon School Activities associa tion, declared yesterday of the A-l title game, "I think it will be one of the finest play off games." He said of North Salem, "They'll be real strong." VIKING EXPRESS Ron Blankenbakcr, Oregon Statesman sportswritcr re ported of last week's semi final game at Salem, "North Salem, like an express train with nothing blocking the tracks, powered past Jeffer son . . . "And if ever the value of sheer power was proved, it was given a magnificent dis play ..." Blankenbakcr reported "roars of approval for the Vikings who don't plan on stopping until they reach the final station on the line - The State A-l high school football championship." The prop writer quoted North Coach Pike Hillstrom as saying. "We out-played 'cm. I out fought 'cm and if we play like this next week nobody can beat us." Jim Close, sports writer for the Capital Journal, had this quote from Jerry Long. Ore gon State university, assistant coach: "Wow! What an interior line they (North) have. They're the greatest I've seen this year." j HANDS lULU This, of course, adds up to a big assignment to the Med ford Black Tornado. It will have its hands full. We want to see them make that old adage come true - that one which states. "The bigger they are. the harder they fall." SURPRISING TEAM One hesitates to predict the outcome of the championship encounter. But. it's a certainty that the Black Tornado will accept its assignment in stride. Actually, the Twister has been a surprising learn. It was felt at the start of the season, that the Black Tornado, would, as usual, give a qood account of itself. It had good personnel. But. to reach the state finals - that SKINNER BUICK-CADILLAC MtDrOHD MAlL Trllouut.. By DICK JHWETT ' Mail Tribunt Sports Editor was something else again. Wasn't Grants Pass favored in this district. Then, as the season progressed, the Med fords grew in the respect of the state and in the admira tion of their fans. The Tornadoes were elevat ed to the top of the polls - be as they may and whatever their value. And, they showed an inclination to stay there. As, we've said before, sev eral times, they've seemed to play their best when the chips were down and a job had to be done. That's a great qual ity and altitude to have. HOPE ENTHUSIASM BUILT We hope the Southern Ore gon college football game with Whitworth on Thanks giving day built up an en thusiasm for the Red Raiders' wide open brand of football that will give them a good following at their home games next season. The season for SOC ended on both a bright note and on a sour one. The sour one was the brawl that broke out on the last play of the game. For, it probably lost the Red Raid ers some irienas. On first reaction, such a j brawl appears a good show and amusing. But, on second thought comes the realization that such occurrences serve ! no real good for college foot- j ball. Since the holiday game, i we've talked to those who relished in the brawl and con-1 doned it. We've also heard it called "bad" and "sickening" and "shameful." PURPOSES TOLD Dr. Elmo Stevenson, presi dent of Southern Oregon col lege, told the Medford Ki wanis club the other day. that the school fields a football team because it is a fall morale builder, because the boys who play develop char acteristics essential in busi ness and because the school sends young men out into schools as coaches. We realize that business is highly com petitive, as is football, but we hardly believe that the game- ending embroilment was keeping with the school's I aims. GREATEST SEASON "The greatest season I've ever had since I've been coaching." That's how Coach Al Akins of the Southern Ore gon collegians is quoted in the Ashland Tidings follow ing the Whitworth game which gave the Raiders their seventh straight win and an 8-1 season. He also said, "The Pirates were by far the tough est team we've run up against all season." Stellar end, Howard Hart nian missed much of the Whit worth contest. He suffered a broken arm. AROUND THE CORNER Sometime in the next couple ol weeks we hope to contact, or hear from, the high school basketball coaches of the area. It will help, if they tele phone us or write us con cerning their returning letter-! men, other material and sea son outlook. Schedules should be mailed. The hoop season is just around the corner, SIEG SHINES Dan Sieg. ex-Medford High. Oregon State university start ing wingback and defensive halfback, although just a soph more, had a terrific game Saturday against Oregon, we're told, with the OSU coaches showing their faith in him on defense when it was particularly needed in the second half.

Forty (Miners Readying for Spoiler Role San Francisco - IIPP - The San Francisco Forty Nincrs, riding on a two-game winning streak, readied themselves to day for the job of "spoilers" in the National Football league. Coach Red Mickey's Pros pectors are out of the race for the Western Division title -but they're in a position to have something to say about who wins it. The Forty Nincrs. who de feated the St. Louis Cardinals 24-17 Sunday, are about all that stand between the Green Bay Packers and their third straight Western division title. But there are a few "ifs" involved. : Detroit Proves Detroit proved Thanksgiv ' inc Day that the Packers can be defeated, and the Lions are hoping San Francisco Is the team that can do it. If De troit takes its remaining games against Baltimore, Min nesota and Chicago, a Packer I defeat would send the Lions ! and Green Bay into a playoff. Of course, the Packers also I have two games with Los ! Angeles, but the Rams have 1 posted only one victory all season plus a tic with Min , ncsota Sunday j The Forty Nincrs face the j Vikings next week - and then i return home for their spoiler chance against Green Bay. i THAT KID STUFF j Nottingham, England -Wli-i Some Nottingham men are ap parently still using that greasy kid stuff.
