' 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,

,' Obvious answar to ihe crowd

Crater victory over Mcd

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.

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.
