He stated that nothing has been said among the schools so far as he's heard this season and that he does not recall the matter having come be fore a conference meeting in past seasons. Otherwise, he said, if a tie looms, it's a mat ter of conference officials get ting together. Of course, there is no prob lem if Just two teams tie for first place. However, If more than that number tie at the top, or, if two or more knot for second, some playoff ar rangement will have to be made. THINKING ALIKE Frank HotUndi, Medford basketball mentor, Indicated to the Linebackers last Fri day the reason why the Black Tornado has started to come on: "We're all starting to think alike, which makes a winning combination," Medford has won Its lati three In a row.

The co-league lead ers are hosts to Medford on Friday and Klamath Falls on Saturday. In discussing preparations for games last week, Hoffine said, "We look for a tough week end." Then he added words to the effect that "next week end will be even tougher." CRATER BALCONY OPENED The north balcony in the Crater high gym was opened to basketball fans last week and folding chairs were used by fans. Principal Btraus said that present plans are to have bleachers on the balcony for the Medlord and Klamath garnet this week. The Crater gym thereby would iccommo. dale some 300 more people. The gym has almost burst at the teams because of the large crowds this season.
