Tournament Rival
Lebanon, Bedford
Clubs Much Alike
"Lebanon's club is similar
to ours," Medford High Head
Basketball Coach Frank Roe
landt informed the Medford
Linebackers club Friday.
Medford and Lebanon meet
st 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday,
March 19, in the opening
game of the 1963 Class A-l
high school tournament at Mc
Arthur court in Eugene.
Addressing the Linebackers
at their luncheon at North's
Chuck Wagon, Roelandt said
of the Warriors, "They run
when they can, but they do
have set plays. They pfty
man-to-man defense."
The Black Tornado mentor
slso pointed out that Coach
Barney Holland's team is sim
ilar to Medford in personnel
with a big man like the Twist
ers' Jack Forde, a jumper like
Jim Hill and a lefty like Lar
ry. Vowell.

also have 16-6 season records.
Lebanon was 11-4 in taking
second place in the Valley
league and the Medlords were
11-5 in gaining a Southern

chat who led the Warriors
with 248 points for fifth high
scorer in the Valley loop.
Sturgis was seventh high with
161. Blanchat and Sturgis
were named to their all-league
first team and Price to the
second.
The Warriors lived up to
expectations this season. In
pre-conference prognostica
tions they were rated one of
the two to pcontenders in
their circuit. They responded
by taking District 8's No. 2
berth in the state tourney.
Lebanon is making its first
state meet appearance since
1951. Medford goes to Eugene
after a one season absence
from the hoop extravaganza.
Both Played Crater
A common foe for Medford
and Lebanon this season was
Crater. Medford took two of
three games from the Comets
who won twice from the War
riors. Roelandt told Linebackers
that his squad will leave Mon
day for Eugene and will work
out that evening on McArthur
court. "I think we are truly
ready," he said. He remarked
that the first tourney game is
always the toughest and spoke
of the handicap in playing
Tuesday of having to lay off
a day before the next game.
"I hope," said Roelandt, "the
angels are looking down on
us like they have the last
eight games."
The coach reported after
the meeting that the Torna

RIGGING CONSPIRACY DENIED
Atlanta, Ga. -IUPII- Former
University of Georgia Athle
tic Director Wally Butts and
Alabama football coach Paul
Bear Bryant Saturday denied
that they conspired to rig the
result of the Georgia-Alaban.a
game played last fall.
Butts said in a statement
Issued through his attorney
that the charge, made in a
Saturday Evening Post arti
cle, "is the most fantastic
thing that I can imagine"
while Bryant said he will
bring a libel suit against the
magazine.
The charge is made in a
Saturday Evening Post story
scheduled to reach newsstands
on March 19. The story was
released by Davis Thomas,
managing editor of the maga
zine, Friday night.
Alabama, a 17-point favor
ite, defeated Georgia, 35-0, in
the game which was played
September 22, 1962.
The source of the story is
George Burnett of Atlanta,
Ga., who, -the Post article
said; accidentally overheard
a telephone conversation in
which Butts gave Bryant
Georgia's plays and outlined
its offensive formations.
In his statement, Butts said:
". . . To charge me with giving
away offensive or defense sec
rets or plays of a Georgia
team to an opposing coach
prior to a game is the most
fantastic and ridiculous thing
that I can imagine. I empha
tically and categorically deny
these charges."
In his statement, Bryant
said: "Conversation between
opposing athletic directors and
coaches prior to a football
game is common practice
The charge against Mr. Butts
of collusion in the game is
matters to my attorneys, Wil.
simply false. I referred the
Ham F. Pritchard and Win
ston B. McCall, who are hand
ling my pending libel suit
against the Saturday Evening
Post.'
Linebackers
Supporting
"Plan M
Medford Linebackers club
will send a letter to the Jack
son county court supporting
"Plan M" for improvement
of baseball park f.-cilitics at
Cheney field at the county
fairgrounds.
Linebackers approved a mo
tion Friday asking Dr. Orval
Eaton, president of the boos
ter organization, to send the
letter to the court.
The court has proposed
modest improvemenis to the
extent of around $80,000 for
the park along the line of
plans projected by Claude
Miles.
Lee Ragsdalb, Medford
school physical education sup
ervisor pointed out at the
Friday luncheon, that a light
ed field is needed to enable
St. Mary's high varsity and
Medford junior varsity foot
ball teams to play night
games next fall while the sen
ior high field is restricted to
limited use.
The Medford high gridiron
has been plowed up and will
be resecded. It will be neces
sary to limit games-in order
that the turf can develop.
