6 C THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 14. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEOFORD, OREGON MedfordJWtribuhb SIPflDIffiTS Tornadoes Prime For Klamath Tilt Mprifnrd Hi oh school's bas ketball team goes out this Sat urday night with the aim of making the current traffic Jam in the Southern Oregon con ference tighter. And. for the moment, so far as the Biz Twister is con cerned, the tighter the better it will be. Medford will come to hoop grips with the Klamath union Hifh school Pelicans in an 8:15 p.m. game at Hedrick gym here. For the Black Tornado, the ruckus with the Whitcbirds will be the only one this week end. Klamath Falls will oe host to Grants Pass on Fri day. Going into the lone conflict Medford snorts a 5-5 conler pnre standine and is In fourth place Vi games back of top runner Crater (8-3). Klamath is the present second place club with 6-. Winning Streak The big question concern Ing the Black Tornado seems to be: Can it continue the mo mentum it generated last week end. Medford has a two game winning "streak" It is ambitious to extend. Klamath Falls, on the other hand: seeks to bounce back after two suc cessive losses. Coach Frank Roelandt de clared last night that his Med ford Tornado is all set to go and ready to play any time." He said that the MHS cngcrs are "all healthy. They have good spirit and good drive. And, they all realize what's ahead for us." The mentor pointed out that his charges had been groom ing their offense to meet Klamath's zone defense but that they have not been cook ing up anything "special" for the Pels. With Rich Benncr back full time, although still wearing a cast on the left wrist he broke In December, Medford will be better fixed against the all around height of Coach Al BRILL METAL WORKS Commercial Industrial Residential Sheet Metal Work Stalnlosi, Galvaniied and Copper Fabrication 2287 West Main PHONE 772-6660 Keek's Pelicans. The Torna does likely will have Jack Forde and Jim Hill along with Benncr in their lineup oppos ing the KUHS combine of Fred Kelley, Wayne Cham' berland, Hal Holman and Dick Scott. This will be the third meet ing of the teams this season. Medford tripped the defend ing league champion Pelicans here 44 to 35 and Klamath won on its home floor 65 to 64. Junior varsity and sopho more teams will play at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, the Jayvees at Hedrick and the sophs at the senior high boys gym. SO Matmen To Wrestle At Pacific Ashland - Saturday after noon will see the wrestling Raiders of Southern Oregon college at Forest Grove to face Pacific university in the sec ond meeting of the two schools.

In trouncing the Badgers, Southern Oregon tallied 5 de cisions, 1 pin, and 1 tie, with Pacific gaining a lone win and tie. Southern Oregon's w r e s- lllng mentor Bob Bennett's comment about the SOC-PU battle was, "When we met Pa cific earlier this season they were not at full strength. They have Improved greatly, so we are anticipating a much tougher match this week end." Southern Oregon carries a season record of 7 wins and 4 losses. Coach Bob Bennett also added to his comment that, "Southern Oregon will host the Pacific Coast Intercol leglate wrestling chain p I o n- ships this year on March 1-2."

Tom Tresh Has Boost To $15,000 By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Sophomore jinx? Tom Tresh and Bo Bclinsky are about as far apart tem peramentally as any two ball players in the world but they agree 100 per cent that there's really no such thing as a second-year jinx. Both feel it's Just a ques tion of doing what comes nat urally. In Tresh'g case, that means signing a contract and beginning spring training without fuss or bother. In Be- linsky's. it means getting his name in headlines without half trying. Tresh, American league rookie of the year in 1962 when he helped the New York Yankees to a world champion ship, made news this week by signing a contract for an esti mated $15,000 while Belinsky, who numbered a no-hitter in 10 victories for the Los An geles Angels last season, made news by oversleeping. Diligent Tresh, a .286 hitter as short stop and left-fielder in his rookie season, accepted a raise of about $5,000 and went dill acntly to work at the Yan. kces' Fort Lauderdale, Fla., training camp. At Palm Springs, Calif., however, the simple routine of the Angels' first workout was thrown Into confusion by the failure of Bclinsky to show up on time. Bo arrived an hour late but with an excuse that was good enough to forestall any disciplinary action by manager Bill Rigney. IVY TALKS FUTURE Houston -IUPII- Frank (Pop) Ivy, head coach, and K. S (Bud) Adams, principal own er of the Houston Oilers, scheduled their third talk about Ivy's future with the American Football league team today. Thc-e was specu lation that Ivy, armed with an offer from the Montreal Alouettcs of the Canadian League, was holding out for more authority within the Oiler organization. DARK DEFENDS Mlaml-IUPD-Defending cham pion Alvin Dark teed off against a crowd of baseball's top golfers today in quest of his fifth championship in the national baseball p 1 a y e r s' tournament. The slight man ager of the National League champion Sun Francisco Gi ants- won the tournament In 1951, '53, '57 and last year. ANGELS SIGNED Palm Springs, Calif. - (UPD - Los Angeles Angel general manager Fred Hancy locked the vault today after round ing up signed contracts for his entire roster. Pitcher Ryne Duron brought his signed $18,000 contract Wednesday when he reported at the An Rels' spring training camp here. iMH (Q Crater High Bills Ashland, GP Clubs It will be top against bot tom on Friday night at Cen tral Point in Southern Ore gon conference basketball. Crater high's Comets (6-3) leading the five team pack, entertain the cellarite but upset-minded Ashlanc'. Grizzlies (2-8). Game time is 8:15 p.m. after 6:30 p.m. sophomore and junior varsity scufflers. Ashland has only the eve ning of action slated this week end. Crater goes to Grants Pass (5-4) on Satur day night. "We look for a tough week end," said Crater Coach Lloyd Hoffine. "The kids are really sweating this Ashland ball club out, but they should be." The mentor reported his crew, nevertheless, "eager" and said that the Comets have been "working awfully hard for a big week end." Starting Over Hoffine reported the Com ets back to offense against man-to-man defense and find ing themselves a bit rusty at it. While the Comets are out in front of the loop by a half game over defending cham pion Klamath, Hoffine main tained that "none of the games up to this count any Title Bout On Armory Mat Slate The Pacific Coast junior heavyweight wrestling cham pionship will be at stake when Nick Koiak and Wild Bill Savage step into the Medford armory ring next Thursday night, Feb. 21. The title match was origin ally scheduled here earlier this month but was postponed when adverse weather in the northern part of the state forced Koiak to rearrange his wrestling schedule. Koiak has several appear ances scheduled in Texas but agreed to postpone them to keep the title date here. The coast junior heavy weight division was created several years ago and the belt was first won by Pete Bel castro at the old armory on Bartlett st. when he defeated Frankie Peck in the finals of an elimination tourna ment. In recent years the divi sion has been inactive but reinstatement permission was recently granted by the Na tional Wrestling Alliance. Two other matches, the first one starting at 8:15 p.m., will complete the card. Ringside reserved seat tickets are on sale at Lamport's Sporting Goods store in Medford. more." It's like starting all over, he said, and "we have to win them all. We can't look by any ball game." Commenting further on Ashland, which has stopped a long conference losing streak and scored a couple of victories, Hoffine remark ed, "When you win two, its not a fluke any more. You're tough." Hard Time Coach George Kcil of the Ashlanders indicated that the Grizzlies are spending consid erable time this week on both offense and defense. "We have a hard time with these guys (Crater) on defense," he said. Offensive work has been aimed at getting the offense moving a little better. Keil put his charges through hard drills both on Monday and Tuesday and eased up yesterday. The squad was in tact for the first two drills of the week. Dean Samuelson, however, was not at school yesterday. "I'd really like to win the rest of them," said Keil of the Bruins' remaining league encounters. "We're going real strong. But, it's a little too late, I think." Keil was willing to wager that the loop will wind up in a tie for first or second places. He figured that a 10-6 record will win the conference laurels. - ? , ,. - g till s4'iWa- ; , Kart Races On Sunday Go kart races will be held, weather permitting, this Sunday, Feb. 17, at Medford Kart ways at the south edge of town.

San Francisco Seals Have Chance To Lead United Press International The Portland Buckaroos are spending a lot of time fiddling nervously while the San Fran cisco Seals burn up the West ern Hockey League. The Bucks have seen their edge over San Francisco in the league's Southern division whittled to only a single point in the past five weeks. But the frustrating thing, to them, is that thev have played well during that period, but just not often enough. In mid -January Portland held a 13-point lead over the Seals and since then the Buck aroos have won seven, lost three and tied one. But the Seals have played 19 games in that span and won 14 of them, shaving away 14 points of the ls point Portland lead. The Seals hacked away two more points Wednesday night by blitzing Los Angeles. 6 0. and have a chance to take the lead tonight when they meet the Blades In the only sched uled WHL game. 1 Freshman District Mat Tourney at CP Central Point - The biggest Southern Oregon district freshman wrestling tourna ment in history is slated Saturday at the Crater High school gymnasium.
