McArthur Court, Universi
ty ol Oregon, Eugene-"Who's
that little fellow there?," a
member of press row asked
us Tuesday night just before
Hedford high's state Al bas
ketball tourney opener here
gainst Lebanon.
"You mean No. 25," we re
turned. "mat a Dan Mues,- we ioio
him.
. ,"You mean that's Medford's
quarterback?," he question- '.,
amazed at the dimin tive
size of the Black Tornado's
State football all-star selectee.
FORDE A ROLLS ROYCE
' "Medford drives a Forda
that runs like a Rolls Royce.
His nam is Jack. In Lebanon
ha is public enemy No. 1."
So wrote Lao Davis in in
Orogonian on the perform
ance of in stellar Med 'ora
lis in th Tornado's stata tour
nay verdict over th War
riors. PINT-SIZED BAKER
More about Miles:
"He's a pint-sized Terry
Baker," said someone in the
row behind us, likening Miles
to the Oregon State football
and basketball star.
LEPRECHONS?
' Medford High Coach Frank
Hoelandt isn't much of on
to go for gimmicks. But ap
parently h don have som
. superstitions and belief in the
supernatural. He has express
ed hop to th Medford Line
backers thai th Angels would
b on th sid of th Black
Tornado. Ha told the Ore
fOnian that possibly th
"Good Fairy" was with th
Black Tornado against Leba
non. Perhaps, the Lcprechons,
when this is read, will hav
helped against North Eugene.
TOP EFFORT NEEDED
' We are not one to expect
perfection every time out for
we know it just isn't possible.
Teams have their ood nights
and their bad - their tremen
dous and their terrible. Tues
day against Lebanon here just
was not one of Medford's
good nights as a team. And,
the Tornadoes are the first
to realize it. But, that's not
to take anything away from
the effort that the- made or
the scrap that the rival War
riors put up. .. . ... ,.,
But the comparative per
formances of Medford against
Lebanon and North Eugene
against Marshall were indica
tive that it might take a very
good, very sharp game if the
Whirlwind was to spill
North's No. 1 ranked taller
Highlanders this afternoon
HARD FIRST GAME
Coach Roalandt's remark
lo th Linbackrs last week
that th first gam is always
th hardest, certainly proved
itu for Medford and for
Medford and for North Eu
gen and to a limited extent
to Pendleton against Molalla
and Astoria against Tilla

fourth to win. But b- 'h Grants

laced Hermnlon, both won
with . (This was written
bfor last night's games.)
CAVEMEN IMPRESSIVE
. Grants Pass high, in its last
three quarters against South
. Salem, turned in by far the
most impressive performance
of the tournament (through
yesterday afternoon). They
shot well, handled the ball
well and did a fine job of
rebounding.
' Leo Davis of the Oregonlan
remarked that the defending
Class A-l champions looked
better than they did last year
L Said Jerry Acklen of the
uranis rass uuurier.
? "They played ball like we
know it down south."
GRANTS PASS RALLIES
The Cavemen were down
17 to I in th first period
which wound up 17 lo 10
Then, Grants Pass took com
mand by outscoring th Sax
ns 21 to S In th second
panel. Th Southern Oregon
CO champs dominated th
third quarter 19 to 14 -nd th
last 26 to II. Al Hutchins
totaled 32 points, with 13
field goals, to lie Medford's
Jack Ford for frit round
high. H had IS rebounds and
Jim Pippin and Marty Bauer
ach 11 for CP. Marv Doleial
had 13 snares for South.

ter high and ex-Siuthern
Oregon college, now cage
coach at Mapleton high.
Bob Sandgren, ex-Rogue
River high football and track

Loughlin Junior high coach,
an ex-Southern Oregon col
legian now coaching football

Since the days when As
toria was a byword in Ore
gon high school basketball,
we ve associated that town
with Finns. When we noted
the name of Ron Koivisto on
the Hermiston high roster for
the tourney here, we asked
Nolan Skiff of the Pendleton
East Oregonian what a Finn
was doing in that community.
You d be surprised. Skiff
replied, "we have lots of
Finns up in Umatilla county.'
Liston To
Be Out
6 Months
Miami (UPD Sonny Liston
flew here for an 80-minute
examination of his knee -
returned to Chicago Wednes
day to prepare for an opera
tion and a minimum six
month recovery period before
he can defend his heavy
weight title against ex-champ
Floyd Patterson.
So certain was it even be
fore Liston had his checkup'
that a scheduled April 10
Liston-Patterson fight at Mi
ami Beach was off that Patter
son had already packed up
his training camp and headed
back north.
Liston broke up his camp
at an Oceanfront hotel last
Saturday to fly to Chicago
for a "week of rest" to soothe
his injured left knee.
He returned Wednesday at
the demand of the Miami
Beach boxing commission,
which wanted to appoint its
own physician to examine
Sonny's knee before granting
manager-adviser Jack Nilon's
request for an indefinite post
ponement. The commission granted the
request at a brief meeting
Wednesday night after seeing
a two-paragraph report from
the specialists who looked at
Sonny's knee at their Coral
Gables clinic: Drs. Arthur H.
Weiland and Robert P. Keiser.

When the season started,
most experts figured the Chi

completed one of the strongest
stretch runs in NHL history

in the tying goal for the
Leafs with eight seconds to

Palm Springs. Calif. -(UPD
San Francisco's 21 hits and
12 runs were not nearly
enough as Houston gave the
Giants' beardless crew of
pitching hopefuls their rough
est going owner of the spring
Wednesday.
In as bizarre a game as
this or any other spring has
produced, the Colts out-staggered
the Giants 16-12 in a
4 hour and 5 minute mara
thon at Phoenix that lasted
13 innings.
Ex San Francisco Forty
Niner football star Carroll
Hardy ended it all when he
clubbed a three-run homer
off rookie Bob Bishop. It was
the Colts' 33rd hit of the
afternoon, 27 of which were
singles.
While the Giants' young
pitchers continued to disap
point, the hitters showed to
advantage. Willie McCovey,
Willie Mays and Orlando Ce
peda clubbed homers as did
the usually banjo hitting tan
dem of Cap Peterson and
Farrell Bowman. McCovey
now leads the Giants with
six spring homers.
Bob Bolin and Bob Gari
baldi pitched the first six in
nings and surrendered the r t
too hopeless total of 13 hits
and 3 runs. Al Stanek, Danny
Rivas, and Bob Bishop were
battered long and hard.

new head basketball coach at
Seattle university, says he
plans a "fast break offense

Oregon State came to the
blue grass in December to
play in the University of Ken-
tucky invitational, where the
Beavers looked promising if
a little ragged in losing to
West Virginia and beating
Iowa.
But Oregon State's all-ev-
erything, Terry Baker, had
wound up a spectacular foot
ball season only a few days
before and was playing with
the team for the first time.
He performed well enough to
make the all-tourney team
at that, but even so it took
the Beavers a while to or
ganize around him.
Although their seven loss
es in 29 games are more than
the other three contenders
put together have lost this
season, the Beavers have won
nine of their last 10.
"We played very well in
the western regional at Pro
ve Utah," Gill said, "and I
think we're on the upswing."
Individually, the Beavecs
are the most colorful outfit
in the tournament. Aside from
Baker, certainly one of the
all-time great college athletes,
they have a seven-foot cen
