Hurricanes Score 9th Hoop Win Bv FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer The University of Miami Hurricanes are beginning to think they're the "best un known" college basketball team in the country. The Hurricanes aren't real ly unknown - they're ruled 15lh In the country - but they certainly aren't gelling their share of publicity considering their perfect 9-0 record which includes a victory over ninth ranked Duke and four vic tories on the road. The Hurricanes inacle it nine in a row Thursday night when (hey defeated SI. John's, 67-59, in the New Yorkers gym. They'll be on the road for four more games before reluming to Miami, Fla., Jan. 19 - by which time they hope lo have cracked Into the na tion's top 10 tChlllS. Barry Scorei Rick Barry scored 26 points and Mike McCoy added 16 for Ihe Hurricanes, who never llu'less had a mild scare when SI. John's rallied to wilhin a 61-54 deficit witli 2:30 to go. Then Coach Urucc Hale re inserted his starting five which matched Hie Rednien point for point the rest of the way. McCoy, a 7-foot, Much sen ior who Miami experts con sider of All-Anieriean caliber, scored 10 of his IB points in Ihe second half and was a giant of strength under the boards. Frank O'llnra and Jerry Houston scored 14 and 13 points, respectively for SI. John's. face Rogue River and Henley will be at Eagle Point. Sacred Heart will return home to host Illinois Valley. St. Mary's plays at Phoenix also on Saturday night. Henley (6-0) has been estab lished as one of the league favorites because of its size and experience. Back for the Hornets of Coach Jerry Johnson are Kent Gooding, 6-7, Earl Allbritton, Mike Bcymer, 8-1, Charley Thomp son, 6-3, Steve Reiling, 6 feet, and Tom Sander, 5-11. The Hornets also have letterman transfer in LeVoy Young, 5-9. An eighth member of the squad, Elton Schiro, 5-11, has been plagued by Injury. Victims of Henley so far have been Class B Bonanza (twice), Malin, Chiloquin and Merrill and the Klamath Falls junior varsity. Lakeview (5-1) with no regulars back is short on over all height and on experience. There are five lettcrmen on hand, however. They are Dennis Varren, 6-4, Myron Steward, 6-1, Danny Leahy, 6 feet, Fred Williams, 5-10, and Larry Sample, 5-10. Sixth man on the roster of Coach Ted McKce is Vcrn Plato, 5-8. Number seven Is a freshman, Jeff Sullivan, 5-11. Only seniors on the full squad are Steward, Leahy and Williams. Lone Lakeview loss has been to Kuna, Idaho. The Honkers have defeated Burns (twice), Payette, Idaho, Klam ath Falls junior varsity and Modoc of Alturas, Calif. Lack of height is described by Coach Marv Delplanche as the main problem for Sacred Heart, (2-4). Trojan returnees are Elmo LcBcau, 5-9, Dick Miller, 6 feet, Marv Davis, 5-9, and Pete Krok, 6 feet. A freshman, who is a likely starter is Jim Corsen, 6 feet. Availability of Pete Krok was not certain yester dny. He has been on a holi day trip and Mike Martinez, 5-9 could get the call in his place. The Trojans have divided with Tulclakc, Calif., and the Klamath Union Wildcats and lost to Klamath jayvee and Chiloquin. . Eagle Point, 6-2, carries the role of defending champ into its Lakeview and Henley games. Coach Dale Bates feels that his Eagle's opening week end is against two of the toughest clubs In the circuit. He remarked that the Eagles will have to come forth with an all-out effort and play llielr finest ball. The Eagles have been led by Ihe scoring of Charles Pomeroy and the rebounding of Richard Short. Bates re ported that Duane Whalcy is "coming along real fine" al guard and is "hitting better." Illinois Valley is 6-0 as the league starts. St. Mary's 3-4, Phoenix 2-4 and Rogue River 2-4.

MEDFORD'j-aTRIBUNE SIPCDMTS Crater Opens in SO Against Ashlanders WINGER'S CONCRETE A Not Flavored but OH! S O G O GOOD! Medford CALL 773-7555 A.hUnd LEADING SCORING - Mike Glines, above, Crater Comet veteran, is the leading scorer among Southern Oregon con ference hoopsters in their pre lcague games. He has 99 points for six contests. Glines will be seen in action on Saturday night at Central Point when the Comets op pose Ashland. Pre-Loop Scoring Led By Glines Crater high's Mike Glines was top scorer among South ern Oregon conference play ers in non-league competition. He has 99 points for six games. Close on his heels was his Comet teammate, Howard Toinlinson, with 95. Jim Pippin, Grants Pass, ranked third with 84 and Lou is Alvarez, Crater, stood at fourth with 82. Jim Hill, Med ford, ranked fifth with 79. Glines' total included 44 field goals. Alvarez was next high with 35 and Hill had 34. Fine free shooting enabled Tomlinson to hold second spot. He made 39 of 47. Crater, Ashland and Klam ath Falls all were unbeaten in six pre-confcrcnce games. Medford was 5-1 and Grants Pass 4-2. The Comets of Crater rolled up the most points, 428, in warming up for circuit con tention. Ashland allowed the least, 201. Race Begini Tonight Ashland and Crater each had five men among the top 20 scorers of league teams. Medford and Klamath Falls each had four and Grants Pass two. The conference race begins tonight Willi Medford at Grants Pass and Klamath Falls at Ashland, On Saturday Ashland will be al Crater and Grants Pass at Klamath. Leo Davis, prep writer for the Portland Oregonian had this to say about the race: "Seismographs in southern Oregon will need new shock absorbers if the district 6 bas ketball race lives up to expectations." Atmosphore Testing I He points to the fact that, ' while Crater, Ashland and KF are unbeaten, the other two league members, Medford and Grants Pass, are coaches' choices to win in the battle for lourniiment berths. Davis continues: "Southern conference teams won 26 of 29 non-counting' starts, 16 of them against the Midwestern league, allegedly, Oregon's other ranking pow er. When they start playing each other for keeps you'll think the U. S. resumed at mosphere testing on the west coast." Part of Davis' column con cerns a discussion with Coach Lloyd Hotline about the Cra ter team. He quotes Hoffinc as saying, "We live on speed. Teams we can't outshool or outrun we must try lo out defense . . ." Uwird Lou Al varet is described as a "su perb shot, bumblebee fast," and guard Mike Glines as a more self-made ballplayer, a leader and a ureal competi tor. Hotline gave balance as the key to early Crater success. Play for keeps in Southern Oregon conference basketball begins at Central Point Satur day night for the Crater High school Comets who are ambi tious to continue the fine showing they have made in pre-circuit competition - per formance which has given them statewide stature. Crater will entertain the Ashland high Grizzlies who will have already experienced their 1963 District 6 A-l bap tism. Schedule calls for 8:15 p.m. varsity action after junior varsity preliminary conflict which opens at 6:30 p.m. Sophomores also play at 6:30 p.m. in the Crater multi purpose room. The Comets of Central Point make their bow in the new league season after com piling a 6-0 record in De cember tuneup play. Ashland will come with either a 7-0 or 6-1 standing for the season. The Grizzlies inaugurate their conference bid tonight at Ash land as host to the Klamath Union high Pelicans who now also are 6-0. New Spirit Both Crater, known for its fireball brand of play, and Klamath, which is defending the district and league mantle, will go against a team which has new spirit and hustle and which feels strongly that it's time for a change in Grizzly maplecourl fortunes. For. during the past three seasons the Bruins have not won a conference battle. Central Point-Reserve seat tickets, both for the season and for single games, are still available lor Crater High school basketball home con tests, Athletic Director Don Miller has reported. The season tickets are avail able at a rale of SI per game for eight remaining tussles. Single game reserve tickets are SI.25 each. Tickets may be obtained from the Crater high office or from the ticket stand at games. ''We sure hope we can do a belter job than we have for Ihp n:il Ihrpp vpni-s " rfpolaepH George Kcil, the Ashland coach. He said that winning one of the opening week end games "would kick our kids off pretty good." is.eu aaaea that his players "have been doing a real good job so far." Keil has indicated that he may begin with his taller boys this evening against the KF Pelicans because of the height of the visiting delega tion. He could use the same crew, if it clicks, against the Comets on Saturday. This would give the Grizzlies a fair overall height advantage and means that Crater would again have to rely on its qualities of speed and quick ness. But, the Comets, by now are old hands at compensat ing for a deficit in altitude. Quickness is the trademark of the colorful Fireballs. Real Chore Should the Grizzlies spill the Klamathites, as they have a mind to do, the. resulting adrenalin - like shot could make the Ashlanders a tough er club for Crater come Sat urday. The Lithia city indica tion is that the Bruins, while eyeing Crater, are giving first attention to the KF game. Keil expressed the feeling that the Pelicans will provide a real chore. Ashland success could depend on whether its defense holds. Crater, meanwhile, with only one game this week, has been able to focus its atten tion alone upon the Bruins. Crater mentor Lloyd Hof fine will send into action his usual starting combine of Howard Tomlinson, Paul Bransom, Pat Pepper, Louis Alvarez and Mike Glines. Either Darryl Summerfield or Neil Rivenburg could .be in the lineup if an ankle "Turned this week in practice still hobbles Pepper. Keil has reported that he will have Dale Tepper and Tod Hess or Mike Cotton at forwards, Jim Lamb at the post and Greg Lindley and Rick Pierce or Hess at guards for the KF fray tonight. Klam ath possibles are Fred Kclley, Grover Dahn, Dick Scott, Wayne Chamberlaud and Hal Holman, Klamath has been hitting from the field at a .422 rate, Crater at .397 and Ashland around .390. Sophomores of KF and Ash land mix at 5 p.m. and the jayvees at 6:30 p.m. West Coast Cage Loop Curtain Up united press International The curtain goes up this week end on the big West Coast conference basketball races and it's anybody's guess what the final act will find. Never has the 3ig Six seemed so wide open with only Washington and Wash ington State out of the run ning. That leaves the four California powers - Stanford, California, USC, and UCLA. All have lost two games and each appears to have about an equal shot at the Big Six crown and the NCAA berth that goes with it. The two surprise powers, California and Southern Cali fornia, meet this week end at Berkeley. UCLA, rated fifth in the nation, is at Washing ton. The West Coast Athletic Conference ifi Inst at uirlp open as the Big Six with only ioyoia ana UOP not given much chance to cop the title. San Jose State, surprise winner of last week's WCAC tourney, opens its league play Saturday nieht at Ilnivprsitv of Pacific. USF and Santa flam hpaH south to meet Loyola and Pep- peraine Saturday and Mon day. More action tonight finds Washington State at Oregon State in what should be a breeze for the Beavers. Red Raiders Face EOC Mountaineers Senior Bowl Saturday Mobile, Ala. -(UPll-The Reds and Yanks engage in their final workouts today before Saturday's 14th annual Sen ior Bowl game and coaches of both teams said their boys were generally in good shape. Rebel Coach Weeb Ewbank and North Mentor Tom Lan dry both said they wished they had more time to work with their teams but both saicj it would be a good, close, hard-fought game. Local oddsmakers establish ed the South as seven-point favorites. The teams Thursday select ed their captains. Lee Roy Jordan, the All-America Ala bama center and linebacker, was elected defensive captain for the South. Johnny Baker of Mississippi State, the start ing right end, was picked as offensive captain. The Northerners picked their starting quarterback Jerry Gross of Detroit as of fense captain and linebacker Gary Moeller of Ohio State as defensive captain. Ashland Oregon Collegi a t e conference basketball will begin for the Red Raid ers of Southern Oregon Fri day when they meet the Mountaineers of Eastern Ore gon at Ashland. In the 1961-62 season Southern Oregon met Eastern Oregon four times. Each won twice. SOC outscored the Mountaineers by 11 points in the four games. Don McClain, the Moun- HOCKEY WESTKKN L.
