IL Threatens
Junior Series
Indianapolis, Ind. (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.

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

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

to 67 in overtime io Washing
ton. Cleveland, which tipped
Marshall last Friday, was
humbled 68 to 48 by Jeffer

Franklin (7-1) into the lead.
The Quakers won 84 to 60
from Madison.

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.

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.
