At least, that's evident from the Cavemen's victories of 57 to 35 over North Bend and 61 lo 42 over Marshfield. Medford beat those same teams 51 to 47 and 53 lo 45. Further comparison of Southern Oregon conference adversaries will be available after Grants Pass meets Rose burg this week end. Klamath Falls downed Roseburg 45 to 40 and 56 to 54 last week -the second verdict in over time. TORNADO IN RUNNING Medford high, of course, It behind the other schools in preparing ior its Southern Oregon conference season. Coach Frank Roelandt. how ever, told the Medford Line backers last Friday that he felt his club "it very much in the running. Anytime they play they are." Protpectt look real good, the mentor taid. . SPECULATION With the football champion ship tucked away, there's a lot of speculation as to wheth er this school year's group of Medford athletes can go on and win the state basketball title and take a title in a spring sport, too. The story is going around that the foot ballers who are now on the basketball squad have told Coach Roelandt, "Don't wor ry Frank, we'll do the same for you." There's nothing like setting your sights high CONFIDENT AND SERIOUS Roelandt described his play ers as a group with a great competitive heart. They are confident and teriout. he re ported. He noted that the Black Tornado tquad wat further along in the four dayt of its practice than in previous teaiont following the completion of football. There are. of courte, tome non-football players on the hoop tquad who were drilling in November. A gridder. who joined the maplecourt crew a day later than the othert last week wat Jack Lowery. TOUGHER CONFERENCE Roelandt expressed the opinion to Linebackers that Ihe conference will be much tougher than last year. He foresees a well-balanced league and told the sports boosters that they should see interesting basketball. GRIZZLIES BETTE7. Ashland Coach George Keil hat told ut that hit Griiily basketball team it "a lot bet ter than last year." He wat "overall real pleated" with their play last week end againtt Shasta high of Red ding. Calif. The Bruint had hustle and did good work on the boards and on detente. PLENTY INTERESTING Crater with quick guards, Mike Glines. Lou Alvarez and Pat Pepper, with Ihe board work of Howard Tom linson, Darryl Summerticld and Paul Bransom and with Ihe ruggedness of Willie Jones should make it plenty interesting despite absence of height. II did last year. With out the altitude, however, the Comets may feel that lack ugain in Saturday night' games after they've gone all out on Friday. THEY WON'T BUY We've tried lo convince a few people that eilh ? Crater or Ashland will win the state A-l hoop title tor 1963. We can't tind anybody willing to buy that. Here's how we fig ure: Medford wat champ in 1960. Klamath Falls won the title In 1961 and Grantt Past took it in 1962. li t Athland't or Craler't turn. LIKE TO RUN Coach Dick Paup discussed St. Mary's high baskcball prospects, also, at the Friday Linebacker session.

The mentor said that the Cru saders like to run and will fast break "anytime they get the chance." FIVE-WAY RACE Paup predicted a five-way race in the Rogue league of A-2 schools and remarked, "We'll be one of them." The league will be tough, he re ported. He mentioned defend ing champ Eagle Point and Henley among contenders. The Rogue league hat tome opportunity for comparisons before the opening of eonfer- ernce play.

BAREFOOT MEASURE In Sunday's Prep Patter in the Portland Oregonian, Leo Davis quotes Ralph Fisher, Vancouver, Wash., Columbian writer as saying that high schools measure their basket ball players with their shoes on. That's not entirely so. Medford Coach Roelandt told the Linebackers that the heights of Medford players listed on the program are barefoot weights. Jack Forde is 6-4 j, Jim Hill and Harold Reid 6-2'4, Larry Sander 6-3, Clint Fartsafas 6-2 and Darryl Stockton 6-1 Vi. GOOD RESPONSE Last week Golden Noble, basketball referee commis sioner for ihit area, reported a serious shortage in arbiters to handle prep and junior high garnet. We ran a ttory voicing hit requett for more whistle-looters. Retult wat 14 retpontet. Noble reportt. REVERSED ADAGE We hope we find time soon to compile some final statis tics on the Medford high foot ball team. We're almost two weeks overdue on the matter now. If we get them worked up, we hope they won't ap pear so garbled as the last set of Medford grid stats we ran. You've heard the adage, "two hands for a beginner." Well, in the case of the gar bled story, the problem was the opposite. One hand, in stead of two, one of the fel lows explained, should have been used in shifting the type from column to column in adjusting it in the page. NO PEA FOUND Going back lo Medford high's football title game, Jim Close, Capital Journal (Sa lem) writer, had an unutual lead: "The North Salem Vikingt peeped under the wrong thell . . . and rather than finding a pea they unleathed a Black Tornado which twept away their dreams . ." Close taid further. "The match pitted the twift and tlender Medford tadt against the large and lumbering Vik ings." Sportt Editor Al Lightner of the Oregon Statesman (also Salem) taid. "The good little team beat the good big one ..." Lowell Trims Prospect Again Prospect - Lowell's taller and more experienced Red Devils made it two in a row over Prospect high basket- bailers by beating the Cou gars 64 to 32 at Lowell on riars had 12 points and Walsh Saturday night Tom S i lu ll for Lowell.

Mu Maiuiri n' Baker Named UPI Back Of The Year, NCAA Offense Champ, Maxwell Winner By DICK JOYCE New York -flJPu- Terry Ba ker, Oregon State's left-handed quarterback whose total offense mark this season ranks second in college foot ball history, today was named 1962 "Back of the Year" by the United Press Internation al. The 6-foot, 3-inch. 105 pound Baker received more than twice as many votes as runnerup Jerry Stovall of Louisiana State in the na tionwide balloting of sports writers and broadcasters. Ba ker drew 157 votes compared to 60 for Stovall. Other top vote-getters were George Saimes of Michigan State with 25; Eldon Fortie of Brigham Young, 14; Billy Moore, of Arkansas, 13; George Mira of Miami, Fla. and Tom Myers of Northwest ern,, 12 each; Roger Kochman of Penn State and Billy Loih ridge of Georgia Tech, 8 each; and Glenn Griffing of Missis sippi and Mel Renfro of Ore gon, 6 each. Switches to T Ron Vanderkelen of Wis consin, 5; Willie Brown of Southern California and Joe Don Looney of Oklahoma, 3 each, were the other backs to gain votes. Baker, a 21-year-old senior from Portland, prompted Ore gon State coach Tommy Pro thro to switch from the single Jim Funston Plays Big Role in Beaver Success By JOHN EGGERS Athletic Publicity Director Oregon State College Oregon State University, Corvallis When the football season started, Oregon State was moaning about the over all weakness at tackle. True, the Beavers had lost such talented performers as Neil Plumley, Mike Kline and Denny Pieters at these two important spots. They had only one seasoned per former back. And that one seasoned per former, Medford's Jim Fun ston, turned out to be a pretty fair country football player in his final collegiate season. Not that Funston wasn't a capable tackle in his first two campaigns. He was called on late in his sophomore season to move into a key vacancy created by an injury and it was his play that helped the Beavers finish 6-3-1. As a jun ior he was a steady second stringer behind Plumley. When Funston became a first stringer this year, he also became a much better football player. Bread and Butter Tackle For Instance, Assistant Coach Bob McKittrick was put in charge of evaluating the Beaver offense this sea son. He d keep a game-by- game account of each play that was run, where it went, and how much it gained. "A great deal of our run ning attack came over Fun slon's spot," McKittrick said. In fact, one of the team's bread-and-butter plays, a full back power play on key short yardage situations, came directly over Funston. And remember, tile Bea vers were second in the na tion in total offense and sol new school records in yards gained and points scored. Funston was honored at the recent OSU football banquet. He won tile coveted attitude scholarship award. A senior in business and technology, he has a grade point average of B-plus. Funston, plus two other HOLIDAY CASH!
