(UPB- The Junior World Series may be come a memory unless the newly enlarged International league gives way today. League officials from Ro chester, Indianapolis, Buffalo, Atlanta, Columbus, Jackson ville, Richmond, Syracuse, Toronto and Little Rock will meet to discuss playing the Pacific Coast. league in the Junior World Series. The PCL wants the Inter national league to abandon its traditional post-season playoff to determine its representa tive In the Junior World Series. The PCL contended the regular season is long enough to pick "a true cham pion," However, Max Schumacher, general manager of the In dianapolis .Indians, predicted that the International loop would retain, its playoff and move back its season closing another week. Tornadoes Will Run In Indoor Five Medlord high runners will participate In the Oregon Indoor track meet next Satur day night at Portland. Track Coarh Dean Benson has reported. Brumback will run in mile race and Steve Toewi, Jim Snodgrais and John Gil bertson and either Gary Grit fin or Frank Toews In a two- mile relay. Griffin and Frank Toews were to vie in a runoff for the fourth relay spot to day. MEDFORDtTRIBUNK Fanfare It 0ICK JIWtTT Mail Tribune Spent Ultor Portland - The giants of the tracK worid-Kalph Boston in the broad jump, Parry O'Bri. cn In the shotput, Jim Grelle in the 1,000 yard run, and Ron Morris in the pole vault- have joined the entry list for the Oregon Indoor meet next Saturday night at the Memor ial Coliseum, and meet direc tor Bob Newland now rates the field as the best since the meet began in 1961. In addition to this quartet, Oliva Salonen, a 3:39.1 mller from Finland, the rugged Em erald Empire two mile relay team anchored by world fam ous Dyrol Burleson, Ray Van Astcn, the junior college ath lete of the year in the 1,000, and Mel Hein, a 13-8 vaultcr from Southern California's Trojans, have further strength, encd the 20-event program. The truce between the AAU and the track federation also brought mile and two-mile re lay teams from Willamette, Lewis and Clark, Pacific, the Vancouver Striders and the Oregon Frosh into the meet along with NAIA high jump ciiamplon Ken Ashley of Willamette. Rugged Event Boston, along with A I r Force star Darrell Horn, makes the broad jump a truly rugged event with Mel Ren fro and Dan Moore of Stan ford making up a foursome of 25-9 and better junipers. van Asten and Grelle, along with NCAA and AAU half mile champion Jim Duprec of Southern Illinois, WSU's Don Bertola and Oregon's Ted Abram put the 1,000 yard run a class of being the best race in the country this sea son at this distance. O'Brien has no peer as a weight man, and he'll be the heavy lavorite to win again as he comes out of a retire ment which lasted only three months. Morris and Hein add fur ther top caliber competition to the pole vault, which al ready had C. K. Yang of UCLA, Washington's John Cramer and Brian Sternberg and Stanford's Phil 'White. A 16-foot jump is not an Impos sibility. "We feel that we can beat anybody at any time now." That is what Klamath Union High basketball coach told the Herald and News after Crater nipped his Pell- cans in overtime last Friday night. He continued: ' "If we can slow down Cra ter's fast team, we think we can make most of the other teams play our style of ball, We slowed the game down against Crater and we looked real good until a while in the third period when we ran with them and it hurt us. But we are now making up for the inexperience with a lot of scrap." Keck was encouraged, de spite the loss. "It was our best game of the season, he told the H and N. Mistakes from Inexperience brought the loss, he commented. The coach ex pressed the feeling that the Pelicans were "down" for the Saturday game with Ashland and didn't expect the Grizzlies to be as tough as they were. APPLIES TO ALL This business about beating anybody at any time can be applied to the potential of every team In the league this season - even Ashland s yet-lo-win Griiilies. "They're li able to knock over somebody yet" is the warning. The Bruins aren t out of it, al though their champion ship possibilities are now pretty slim. Their main objective is to break their long conference winleis string. BIG TASK AHEAD Medford's Black Tornado, with three setbacks in the loop, after bowing last Satur day to Grants Pass, has no easy task ahead if It is to move up among the leaders in the Southern Oregon conference basketball chase. The Black Tornadoes have the potential to do it but it will take some serious application. They have shown even in defeat that they do not lack the necessary hustle. Med ford figures to be stronger once Rich Bonner, who broke his wrist In pre- league play, is back in stride and that may be very soon. Dick" Deffley and Larry Vowell did some fine work for Medford's cage club last week end when they appeared for the first time in starting spots. It could be noted how they earned them. Their ap pearance could mean that Coach Frank Roelandt is de- JANUARY ANNOUNCEMENT: Comet's newest fun car... the SPORTSTER Again Comet proves that it ha3 a wonderful way with a roof.

PIL SHAKEN Last night's prep basketball results axe an indication that the Southern Oregon confer ence is not the only loop where there is a lough race for top honors. The Portland Interscho lastic race was thrown into turmoil and fur ther headache created for the pollsters. High rated Marshall, suffer ed Its second loss, this time 68 to 67 in overtime io Washing ton. Cleveland, which tipped Marshall last Friday, was humbled 68 to 48 by Jeffer son. The result was to project Franklin (7-1) into the lead. The Quakers won 84 to 60 from Madison. In the Metropolitan league Central Catholic beat Mllwsu kie 42 to 36 to put the Mus tangs Into a first place tie with Beaverton and Clscka- mas. Defeat of Milwaukie and of Reynolds, 42 to 41 by Molalla in the Wilco league, left For est Grove the only unbeaten Class A-l team in Oregon. And ihe FG Vikings are only also- rans in ihe ratings. COMETS MAKE TOP 10 Crater's Comets made it Into the top 10 of the Oregon Journal coaches prep basket ball poll for the first time this week when they were rated sixth. There should be a bit of pride in the Comet camp and some high hopes, too, from the comment from Klam ath Coach Al Keck that his Pel club was playing his best of the campaign when it lost to the Central Point team. Crater has a big chance this week end when it plays both the bottom and the top teams in the loop, Ashland on Fri day and Grants Pass on Satur day. ON UO TEAM ' Two ex-Crater high grap- piers and one ex-Medfordite wrestled in varsity roles for University of Oregon against Washington State University last week end. Duck matmen from Crater are Dave White, 130, and Charlie Warren, 147. Terry O'SulUvan, ex-Mediord high, is the grappler irom Medford. ATTENTION TO PREPS Eugene fans have turned their basketball attention away from University of Ore gon's Ducks this season and onto their two big high school teams which are regarded by a good number of eager fol lowers as the top two clubs in the state. When South Eu gene beat North Eugene last Saturday night, an estimated 8,000, double or better than double the number which have turned out for college games this season at McAr thur court attended. The Web. foots, of course, are having an unspectacular season. JOGGERS Bill Bowerman, ex-Medford high player and' coach, now head track mentor at Univer sity of Oregon, has become a jogging devotee. He picked up the idea in New Zealand where he reportedly had io become a "jogger" to keep up with Arthur Lydiard, fa mous track coach. Don Fair, Portland Oregonian sports writer, says the idea of jog ging clubs is so appealing to Bowerman that he would like to organise a similar group in Eugene. The club will be aimed at businessmen. According to Fair, one positive result of daily jogs is "handsome weight redistribution." He points out that "the theory is to Jog until one becomes tired, walk for a spell until the lungs settle back into the chest cavity, then jog on." If Fair looks the same as the last time this writer last saw him. both of us need to join the club. HIGHLIGHT NIGHT It will be one of the high light sports events of the year on Tuesday night, Jan. 29, when Medford fans have the opportunity to see the Japa nese all-star wrestlers in ac tion at Hedrlck gym. The eight young men from Japan were national prop champions in ihrir weights last year. They will lake on members of Coach Ralph Monroe's Med ford high team. Some exhibi tions arc slated among Tor nado grapplcrs and the Japa nese youths arc expected to present some demonstrations. Proceeds from the Japanese teams current tour of the stale will go toward sending an Oregon team to Japan next summer. In addition to a charge at the door, programs will be sold. Donations also will be accepted. Tickets are on sale at Lamport'!! Sporting Goods store. Barker's Men's store and the high school office. WRESTLING MAKES HIT Top-Ranked Quintets on Doublebill By ED SAINSBURY Chicago -WPD- The nation's three top-ranked college bas ketball teams will appear on the same doubleheader Satur day. And it was questionable whether offense or defense would steal the show. In the headline match, the nation's No. 1 rated team, Cincinnati, will defend its 32 game winning streak and 14-0 record this season against the No. 3 rated quintet, Illinois, which is the nation's second highest scoring team. The second game will match unbeaten Loyola of Chicago, with a 17-0 record this season, ranked No. 2 na tionally and the highest scor ing team in the nation with a 97.7 point per game ave. rage, against luckless Santa Clara, whose coach describes his team as "just average with a 9-4 record. Cincinnanti, which also leads the nation in defense, allowing only 48.5 points per game, will face a team which has averaged 88.8 points per game, and the outcome may show whether a good defense can beat a good offense. Welu, Ladevig Pace All-Star Pin Meet BOWLING TOUR Portland -TOPD- There is a possibility that b o w 1 i n g's "million - dollar showcase" - the Professional Bowlers' As sociation tour - will come to Portland later this year. The tournament, the first top flight 10-pin event ever sched uled in the state, I. as been offered dates tentatively set for Sept. 26-29. Twentieth Century Lanes here probably would be the site. High school wrestling made new convert in Al Lightner, sports editor of ihe Oregon Statesman last week when he saw the Japanese in action. Said Al: 'We found it a tremendous show, and anyone who says amateur wrestling by prep pers isn't interesting will henceforth get an argument from us. It's a sport which is not hard to understand. And it is one in which its per formers had best be quick, strong and tough, or they'd best not fool with it." Lightner further comments that he had paid little atten tion to high school grappling, figuring that It was little more than something special tor the gym class athlete. He said that the thoroughly in teresting and highly competi tive program he saw proved him wrong. Kansas City, Mo.-IUPD-Billy Welu of St. Louis and Marion Ladewig of Grand Rapids, Mich., were at the top of the men's and women's division tqday in the stretch drive of the $100,000 All-Star bowling tournament. Welu. 29. and Mrs. Lade wig, 48, each compiled record scores in the tiring qualifying rounds. Welu, a strong, 6-4 kegler who throws a hard ball, made it to the toD of the 16-man list of Qualifiers with a 32- game total of 7,202 - an aver age of 225 pins per game. Mrs. Ladewig, a grand mother, scattered pins over the 24-game women's qualify ing rounds for a total of 5,018 - an average of belter than 209. Mrs. Ladewig has won the All-Star seven times. So accurate have the bowl ers been in this 22nd annual Bowling Proprietors Associa tion of America BPAA tour nament, that records have been falling daily. The first 14 men in the top 16 bettered the previous 32-game record of 6,874 set last year by Roy Lown of El Paso, Tex. , Record Count William Helsel of Tampa, Fla., sneaked into the No. 16 spot Tuesday night with a record six-game count of 1,454 - snapping the old mark of 1,435 set last year by de fending champion Dick Weber of St. Louis.

BOGGESS TO RETIRE Houston -IUP1I- Dusty Bog gess, a National league um pire for 19 years, told a stunned gathering at the third annual Major League Base ball Dinner Tuesday night that he has decided to retire while "I'm on top." "I am going to retire and take a few years leisurely," Boggess, 58, said. "The eyes are getting bad and I know I couldn't do as well as 10 years ago.
