HUNGER'S Ready-Mix Concrete Concrete Pipe Crushed Rock Equipment Rentals Tornado Encounters Grants Pass Quint Here This Evening Medford high's Black Tor nado fights to keep its stretch drive going tonight and con tends for the basketball lead ership of the Southern Ore gon conference. The Whirlwinds engage the defending state champion Grants Pass Cavemen. Game time is 8:15 p.m. here at Hed rick gym. Grants Pass (34) comes to town as the circuit's leader one-half game ahead of Med' ford (8-5). Trie impetus of a five-game winning streak, which has carried it from fourth place into a tie for second, will be taken into conflict by the Black Tornado. But, Grants Pass has a string of victories going too. The Climate city club has won three straight since the two aggregations last met and Medford trim med the Cavemen 51 to 44. GP was victor on two pre vious sessions with the Twist er. Scores were 62 to 80 and 66 to 62. Barn Burner Medford, with just the single game, has concentrated this week's efforts on prep ping for Grants Pass. The Cavemen on the other hand have had to tune for a pair of tough assignments. They are hosts on Saturday to Klamath Falls (6-7). Said Medford Coach Frank Roelandt concerning tonight's engagement: "It'll be a barn burner. That's for sure. I think it really will be a good one." 'I think we're all set to go," said the Hurricane tutor further. He indicated the usual starting five of Jim Hill, Rich Benner, Jack Fordc, Dan Miles and Larry Vowel), with Registered Trapshoot On Sunday Medford Gun eluh slates its first registered trapshoot ing competition of the season on Sunday, March 3. It will be host for its 11th annual early spring shoot.

A high overall trophv Is offered for the registered events. the prospect that Gibb Mitch ell and Mike Neathamer, who have been doing well could see quite a bit of duty. "We have two big ones," said GP Coach Gorden Prehm. "It's a two-way job. Klamath Is always tough for us." Prehm indicated that the Cavemen are looking upon this week end as "do or die'' In the quest for the league diadem and a return trip to the Oregon Class A-l tourna ment. He said that the Cave men have spent a lot of time in preparation for the week end and that he felt they are both physically and mentally ready. He pronounced the Cavemen "all healthy." GP To Invade A large following of fans is anticipated from the Cli mate city. "The whole town Is ready to invade Medford," Prehm reported. The Climate city supporters will come with the idea that, if the Cavemen play the same sharp, poised brand of ball they did against Crater last week, they'll win. But, the Medfords last week also showed some sharpness. Commented Prehm after look ing in on Coach Roelandt's Tornadoes at Ashland last Saturday, "I don't think any body in the state could have beaten Medford that night." The Caveman tutor indi cated that he will call on a starting lineup of Lyman Keisecker, Tom Sparlin, Al Hutchins, Bob Shepard and Jim Pippin. Judging by the turnouts for other Medford - Grants Pass games this season, the by words will be "come early to find a seat" tonight. A standing-room only crowd is fore seen again. Junior varsities of the two schools will mix at 6:30 p.m. on the Hedrick floor. Sopho mores play at the same time at the senior high boys' gym.

Grater at Ashland On Saturday Night; AHS Also Faces KF Central Point-Crater high's Comets, their chances the brightest in 11 years to grab a berth in Oregon's big school basketball tournament, trav el on Saturday night in fur ther campaign to advance their cause. The Fireballs of Central Point (8-5), tied for second in their circuit, a half-game back of first, go out against Ash land Grizzlies on the Ashland floor. Game time is 8 p.m. It will be the fuurth meeting between the two schools this season. Crater has won the other three 64 to 53, 65 to 50 and 60 to 57. The Bruins (2-11) of the Lithia city can go nowhere this season. Their title and tourney dreams long since have faded. But, they are spoiler-minded and out to wreck the dreams of other members of the circuit. So far, the Grizzlies have been a stumbling block to Medford and to Klamath Falls. They have this final chance against Crater. Helping Everybody The Saturday night em broilment actually is just one of two week end assignments for the Ashlandcrs. They have their final meeting with Kla math tonight at Klamath Falls. Crater has just the one game. Ashland Coach George Keil has described his team's spoi ler role as "trying to help everybody out." He said, "We 11 try to get both of them this week. We're not dead yet. We'll hang in there as long as we can." Yet, pfter the rugged week end just past, Keil has found it a bit tough to keep his players up. He reported that the Grizzlies have been "kinda tired." They have not done much work this week. The Bruins put forth a hard effort against Grants Pass last Friday. Then against Medford Neil mentioned that the Ash landers "ran out of gas Satur day quite a bit." The Grizzly skipper said that he might change his line up quite a bit. Starters may come from among Jim Lamb, Jeff Trost, Mike Cotton, Dale Tepper, Rick Pierce and Tod Hess. Jones Turns Ankle For Crater Coach Lloyd Hoffine is expected to call first on Paul Bransom, How ard Tomlinson. Pat Papper, Lou Alvarez and Mike Glines. Hoffine has indicated the Comets in good shape except for Willie Jones, who is lost for this week end and per haps for the season. Jones turned his ankle while shoot ing baskets Sunday at the Crater tennis court. His in jury cuts from eight to seven the number of players who see the bulk of duty for the Comets. The coach described Jones as a player who was needed for a certain situation "and, when the time came, he was it." Now, Hoffine said, the Fireballs will have to com pensate. This may mean some shifting around and it may mean that Mike Gardner, who has seen very little var sity action, will see some service. Sophomores will play at 5 p.r...
