2 B FRIDAY. JANUARY 11. 19S3 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Tornado Engages Pelicans Here Tonight, Crater There Saturday; Comets Contend at Grants Pass Medford'j Black Tornado and Crater's Comets put first things first tonight in basket ball conflicts with defending champions. Then, on Saturday evening they go against each other in the Southern Oregon conference. Tornado cagcrs, fighting to break into the conference vic tory column, are hosts tonight to the Klamath Falls Pelicans, defending champs of the cir cuit. Game time is 3:15 p.m. at Hedrick gym. Crater trav els to battle the Grants Pass Cavemen, state A-l tillists of 1962, with 8 p.m. tipoff time, Crater and Medford con tend at 8:15 p.m. Saturday at Central Point. Fourth District 6 A-l combat of the week end will have Grants Pass at Ashland for Saturday opposi tion. Klamath (8-0) and Crater (7-0) are the only members of the loop with unbeaten season records. They are 1-2 in the league with respective 2-0 and 1-0 marks and ambi tious to pad their unblemish ed status. Four loop ' schools rank among the top 10 in the polls Crater rates fifth in the Port land Orcgonian poll of sports writers, Grants Pass seventh, Klamath eighth and Medford 10th. In the Oregon Journal coaches tabulation Grants Pass Is sixth, Medford seventh and Klamath ninth with Cra ter as an also ran. Still Early This week's four games may shed some light on how the district chase will go al though it is rather early in the slate for a definite pic ture to unfold. Prognostica tors have anticipated the tightest campaign in years. Klamath will bring to Med ford another one of its big clubs. Advance reports say that the Pelicans rebound well but do not have the speed of past recent KUHS teams. The Pels have been using zone defense to advan tage. And, if Coach Al Keck chooses to exploit his club's height, It will have altitude on the Black Tornado. Fred Kellcy, 6-5, Wayne unamberland and Terry Ash 6-3, Hal Holman, 6-2, and Dick Scott, 6-1, formed a tall KF lineup last week against Grants Pass.

Feeling over Klamath way is that, although the Pels are unbeaten, only last week end did they begin to get the rer ognition they deserve. Promising As Medford (5-2) completed preparations to meet both un defeated teams, Coach Frank Roclandt reported that the Tornado hoopsters were show ing a lot of fire and were catching on to things on which they had worked on all week, "so it is quite prom ising." The mentor indicated that he probably will go with the cagcrs who started last week That would be Jack Fordc 8-4i. Gibb Mitchell, 5-11 Mike Barnes, 9-9, Dan Miles, 5-7, and Mike Neathamcr, 5-10, since they did a good job against Grants Pass. But, Roelandt brought out also that reserves have looked good so it might not be long until some of them are in there. And, he was not' abso lutcly certain on the starters Jim Hill, 6-2'!!, still favor ing a shoulder which went out of place a couple of weeks ago, is not yet in top condi tion but Is starting to round back int shape. "He can help us," said Roclandt, Ouija Board The coach said that the Tor nado has been working on quite a few offensive and de fensive combinations. "We've been scrambling," said Roc landt, "to see what various kids can do-." Concerning Klamath Falls nd Crater, Roclandt declared No team can go undefeated this long and not be tough." He remarked, "Somebody's got to find their weaknesses nd I hope it's us. Roelandt poke of the need to find the right' combinations at the right time. He ventured that Ouija board might be in order. Crater's Comet's, out to up hold the fine reputation they have built, will yield height to both Grants Pass and Med ford. They have no one to match the 6-4V of Medford's Forde or 6-4 of GP's Larry Lindquist. Comet starters this evening are expected to be Howard Tomlinson and Paul Bransom, each 6-1, Lou Al varez and Mike Gllncs, each 5-8 and either Pal Pepper or Darryl Summerfield, each of whom is 5-2. A bad ankle could limit the amount of duty Pepper sees for Coach Lloyd Hoffine's club. Suprtm Test Grants Pass Coach Gordon Prchm is expected to choose his starters from among eight players Larry Lindquist, 6-4, Al Hutchlns, 6-3, Jiir Pippin, and Marly Bauer, 6-2, Bob Shcpard, 6-1, Gary Reddick and Lyman Kciscckcr, 5-9, and Tom Spnrlin, 5-11. Dennis O'Lcary, 5-10, and Gary Van Koten, are Cave men reported still sidelined by injuries. Prchm has brought John Mahalcy, 6 feet, up from the jayvces to fill the gap at guard and has moved up Jerry McCormack because of his outside shooting prowess Effort has been made at Grants Pass this wee:, end to emphasize to the Cavemen that the Comet!) will be tough. Jerry Acklcn in the Grants Pass Courier has point ed to the high scoring by VIES FOR COMETS Willie Jones, 190-pound 5-10 letter- man, is among Crater high basketball players who tussle at Grants Pass this evening and engage Medford high at Central Point on Saturday. Crater this season and declar ed that the "supreme test" comes tonight. He terms as a dangerous idea" the thought that GP will have an easy time. The Comets view this, them selves, as a rugged week end which should indicate how strong they really are and just what are their real chances in the spirited con ference rivalry. The Central Pointers expect to have their hands full both nights against a pair of clubs which have both more physical strength and more depth. GP at Ashland They'll again utilize their speed to make up for their shortness. But, they face the physical task of going hard two nights in a row against taller teams which also pos sess some speed. Stronger than in several years but still after their first conference triumph since 1959 are the Grizzlies of Ashland The Bruins romped through a prc-loop slate unbeaten then took it on the chin last week twice. There is nothing like a victory over GP this week end that would heighten their morale. Coach George Keil has had his Ashland charges working to eliminate some troubles which showed up last week Offensive drill has had atten tion because the Grizzlies "went out of their offense" in the Crater fray. Rebound ing has had work and time has been spent straightening out the defense. Dale Tcpper hurt his ankle in the Crater game. Keil de scribed the injury as not too bad but said that Tepper got charleyhorse Tuesday so that the amount of his serv ices is uncertain. The Grizzlies may have Mike Cotton and Tod Hess or Tcpper up front against: GP with Greg Lind ley, Rick Pierce and Jim Lamb rounding out the start ing five. Junior varsity and sopho more games are also slated. Generally they will be at 6:30 p.m. At Ashland, however, the soph game will be at 5 p.m. Eagle Point Slates 2 Rogue Opponents TMJ-MIX The All Weather Concrete IS HEAT ED to give you on-the-job Summertime Concrete the year around!

Pro Bowl On Sunday Los Angeles -ll'PIl- The vio lent world of protessional football reaches its annual cli max Sunday in the 13th Pro Howl, pitting stars from the Eastern division of the Na tional Football league against top-ranked players from the Western division. The West is favored in the betting marts by 3's points, probably because of the pres ence of eight members of the champion Green Bay Packers on the stiuad. The West has an R-4 edge in the series. Green Bay coach Vini-c Lombardl is master minding this year's western effort and he's got quite a psychological edge - Lombar dl has never lost a game as a head coach in the Memorial Coliseum here. SFdDMTS Oregon State, Stanford Highlight of Week End In Coast Hoop Activity United Press International Oregon State's invasion of Stanford, Big Six action in Los Angeles and a replay of the West Coast Athletic con ference tournament final high light a big week end of bas ketball activity along the west coast. The Stanford (9-2) vs. Ore gon State (8-3) battles tonight and Saturday in the bandbox Stanford gym match clubs seeking national recognition as the best team west of Ari zona State. It also pairs off the Bea vers' 7-foot Mel Counts and the Indians' 6-toot-8 Tom Dose in a battle which might deter mine which one is an All America and which one is just a first or second string All- Coast performer. High interest will also cen ter around Heisman Trophy winner Terry Baker of the Beavers. While the southpaw guard is not a punishing scor er, the Beavers' basketball team has improved a notch since he took over duties as baekcourt field general. In Big Six activity, Wash ington (2-0) is at USC (11-21. The Huskies have still not con vinced anybody that they arc a threat in Big Six play but could do so with a victory or two against the Trojans. California faces deflated I'C'LA Saturday. Johnny Woodcn's Bruins went to Se attle last week with an eight game winning streak, a fifth place national ranking and the rating as Big Six favorite. But lowly Washington singed them twice and UCLA dropped to tenth nationally. Cal (2-1) goes south with a tia.7 scoring average, best in t he school's proud ,cagc his tory. St. Mary's Gaels, who lost Hie WCAC tourney title to San Jose State, will seek re venge tonight at Oakland. The Spartans contained St. Mary s and won 55-51 in the tourney final as San Jose's Dennis Bates put a good clamp on the Gaels' brilliant Steve Gray. Sanla Clara (2-0) hosts Loy ola (0-2) in more WCAC action tonight. Saturday night San Jose meets Loyola while USF (2-0) hosts Pacific (0-2). Los Angeles - (UPD - Y. A. Tittle, who at the age of 36 set a National Football league season record of 33 touchdown passes during 1962, said that he probably would retire from football after the l!Hi3 season.
