2 B WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 16. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Fanfare l DICK JIWITT Mill Tfibum Stem Idllor ' Those who predicted thai no Southern Oregon confer ence basketball team would escape unscathed In the 1963 chase already have been proved right. And, the first time around In the circuit is yet to be completed. All of the five members of the circuit have at least one loss. One has two and another has three, j Presently the race has re solved into a four team dog fight. Ashland right now docs not look to be a contender, but the race is far from over. All the Bruins may need is that iirst victory to bolster their . morale. ". . . One of these days," remarked Jerry Ack' len, sports editor of the , Grants Pass Courier, "those Ashland Grizzlies are going to cut loose and win a con ference game." The Bruins have not won in the loop since i 1059. Their next try, 'will be at Mcdford this Friday, NOT PRACTICAL Crater high's gymnasium was )ui about ready to bunt at the sums because of the landing room only crowd for the basketball gam with Medford on Saturday night ,' Obvious answar to ihe crowd ' problem at tha Comet court is to knock out tha partition on tha north balcony and put tats thara.

Marshall, WHITMAN AT SM Bill Whitman has taken over as freshman basketball coach at St. Mary's high. He replaces Gordon Johnson who has enrolled for the winter lerm at University of Oregon Whitman, who attended si Mary's. Eagle Point and Med ford schools, is Just out of the Army after a tour in Ger many. While al Ft. Ord in California he established base records of 53 and 6.2, re spectively, In the 50 and 60 yard dashes. So far as he knows, the marks still stand. Whitman is taking classes at Southern Oregon college ROLE OF REF TOLD A Bend Bulletin editorial has brought up a point on bas ketball officiating not men tioned by AI Llghlncr in his "Basketball's Bullies" article In the Saturday Evening Post. Said Ihe Bulletin writer: "Some officials arc never bothered. Others arc perse cuted only very rarely. Some others get involved in brawls with regularity. Lightner is one of the latter." The editorial states that fans go to a game to see the contest and not to watch the official. It maintains that the official's duty Is to conduct a game for the benefit of play ers and fans without favor to clthe rside - and to do the Job as inconspicuously as possible, The writer further dcclacs mat Lrigntner is not an in conspicuous guy when he puts on a striped shirt and accuses him of showboating some, times. L. H. Gregory in Sunday column in the Portland Ore gonian came out in strong de fense of Lightner. As for com ments or quotes - Well, some body has thrown away the Mail Tribune copy of the paper. Chicago Has 23 Signed For. Season By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer The Chicago Cubs always finish flrst-durlng the winter when It doesn't count. The Cubs, who were the first major league club to sign all their players the past few years, seem bent on retaining that distinction with 23 play ers already signed for 1963. Inficlder Ken Aspromonte and catcher Dick Bcrtell were the latest to agree to terms with the Cubs, who now have only 17 more players to sign. Veteran right-hander Bob Friend signed for his 12th sea son with the Pittsburgh Pi rates. Since breaking In with the club in 1952, Friend has won 153 games and lost 186. Last year he was 18-14. Four' pitchers, including Bob Garibaldi, the $130,000 bonus baby, signed their con tracts with the San Francisco Giants. The others were Gay- lora ferry, Ron Hcrbel and Gerry Thomas, all of whom pitched for Tacoma of the Pa cific Coast league last year. Look at Naw Home Two traded players - ex- Yankee Bill Skowron and cx- Met Bob Miller - looked over their new Los Angeles home and said they expected to have a big year with the Dodgers. "It's Just as thrilling to wear a Dodger uniform as the Yankee pin stripes," said Skowron, who was traded for pitcher Stan Williams. Miller, who pitched for the Mcts last season, said, "If I had to write my own contract, I could not have done better than go lo the Dodgers." Skowron said he might add 10 to 12 homers to his tolal hitting in Chavez Ravine in stead of Yankee Stadium, while Miller, who had a 1-12 record with the Mcts, said someone would have to fight him "to take away thai fourth pitching spot in the Dodgers' pitching rotation. The Boston Red Sox added two players lo their spring training roster in veteran pitcher George Spencer and rookie catcher Archie Skcen.

MEDFORDSJSe-jTRIBUNE Kings, Clowns Pair In Crosby Clambake Pebble Beach, Calif.-flJPl)-The kings and the clowns of golf pair off Thursday in the $50,000 National Pro-Amateur championships sometimes known as the Crosby Clam bake. Headlining the cast are Arn old Palmer, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus among the golf pro kings; and such clowns of comedy as Phil Harris, Dean Martin and Desl Arnaz. It's the 22nd annual char ity affair and the prospects today were for good, clear, warm weather - and if they get it, both the promoters and the golfers will be shocked. They've had snow, rain, hail, winds and just about every other type of incon venience in the past. "If the weather stays good, like it is now," says Art Wall, a former winner here, "it will take a score of 278 to win it. But if it turns to the usual, then about 288." Last year's . tournament, played in snow, sleet and rain, was won by Doug Ford with a 286 score. That was the highest winning total of any tournament in America in 1962. , This will be the second head-on clash of the year be tween Palmer and Player. In the Los Angeles open, Palmer won by three strokes, with Player finishing in a tie with Al Balding for second. At San Diego, Player won - but Palmer ducked the tour nament to attend an awards banquet in New York. Palmer is the leading money-winner of the year, so far - as usual -with $9,000 to his credit. Player has collected $7,300. Defending champions in the pro-am division are pro Bob McCallister and little Albie Pearson, the Los Angeles Angels center fielder, how ever, Albie sported a 10 hand icap last year and this has been cut to five this time around. Idaho Trips Washington United Press International Rugged Idaho got a sur prisingly stiff fight from Washington State but still emerged with its 11th basket ball win in 13 starts Tuesday night. The Vandals took a 72-65 decision as the Vandals' one two' punch of Chuck White and Gus Johnson each tossed in 18 points. Idaho is cursed this year by the fact that Johnson is ineligible for tournament play because of the NCAA junior college transfer rule. With Johnson in there the Vandals are 10-0 this year. Another tough break for the Vandals is that they don't get to test Oregon State in regular season play this year. The Vandals do play a home and home ferics with Seattle, however, that should give fans some perspective on just how good Idaho is. Slam-Bangers Pitted Against Clever Matmen Here Thursday Night A pair of slam-bangers against a duo of clever mat men make up the tag team match headlining Thursday night's wrestling card at Med ford armory, starting at 8:15 p.m. Doors will open an hour earlier. The slam-bangers are Wild Bill Savage and Haru Sasaki. Savage likes to get an oppon ent on the run and then show no mercy until the foe is sub dued. Sasaki is a sinister in dividual who delights in man euvering his opponent into po sition for his Japanese sleeper hold, which almost always brings an abrupt end to a match. The clever matmen who will go against the slam-bangers are Rocky Columbo and newcomer Lorenzo Parenti. Both can be rough if the occa sion demands, as it is sure to when Savage and Sasaki pro vide the opposition.. Under tag team rules only one man from each team may be in the ring at the same time. In order to be relieved, a wrestler must tag his part ner over the top rope and then leave the ring. The tag team scrap is for an hour or two out of three falls. - The semi-windup, slated for 45 minutes or the best of three falls, will send Harold (Buck) Davidson of Klamath Fall against Irish Pat O'Brien. One match completes th card.
