Seattle is at Vancouver tonight CAVE JUNCTION - Phoenix and St. Mary's both have un tarnished records as they pre pare to enter the Lions Club holiday Classic Basketball Tournament here this week end. But it's just about a sure thing one of them won't any longer after the opening game of the event. The two teams play each otner. The tourney opens Friday night on the Illinois Valley High School court. After Phoenix and St. Mary's have fought it out in the opener, Eagle Point will take on Illinois Valley.

Tourney entries represent half of the league's membership. Although Illinois Valley is not undefeated, the Cougars are re spected by their opponents. Coach Eldon Durham of Phoe nix regards IV. as "still the team to beat in the tournament and the Rogue League. They ve got Ihe experience, he noted. "Their loss was to Del Norte, a pretty good school." Phoenix has always faced a lough opening round in the tournament. In four Journey ap pearances, the Buccaneers have had to focc an undefeated team on three occasions and a tough one-time loser on the other. They have yet to gel by the opening round.

(UPI) - Ore gon's Sun Bowl bound football team, pinning its victory hones was the leading rusher with 452 Up front, Casanova has one of the best guards on the coast in 230-pound Dave Wilcox, who was drafted by the San Francisco 4Uers as a likely defensive end. In total offense for the sea son, Oregon had 3.615 yards to 2,474 for its opponents. Renfro on brilliant quarterback Cob Berry, reassembles toddy lor a flight to El Paso, Tex., where they meet Southern Methodist Dec. 31 in the Sun Bowl's new 30,000 seat stadium. Berry, a junior, ranked sixth nationally in total offense with 1,733 yards, threw six touch down passes in leading Oregon to a 7-3 season. He completed 59 per cent of his passes. Oregon head man Len Casa nova, who has been round a long time, calls Berry the "greatest competitor" he has ever coached. As Oregon wound up three days of tough, two-a-day drills just before Christmas, Ihere was no complacency about Southern Methodist, despite the latler's 4-6 record. "We're in for a battle," Cas anova said, pointing to the Mus tangs' victories over second ranked Navy and Gator Bowl bound Air Force. Orenon will be without its great halfback, Mel Renfro, who signed a contract with the Dal las Cowboys of the National Footbull League after a wrist injun- had sidelined him for the Sun Bowl game. But Oregon clobbered Oregon State 31-14 without Renfro be hind Berry's aerial blitz and sharp play calling.

Oregon has played Southern Methodist once before, in the 1949 Cotton Bowl game, when the Mustangs won 21-13. Oregon had Norm Van Brocklin as its quartedback then. Casanova, who ordered game pictures of four SMU contests, including the Navy game, said the Mustangs would be as ag gressive a defensive team as Oregon has faced this season. "They seem to nave cxcem-iu success against a passing tnnm." he said. Berry has a Hock, oi largcis at which to throw, including big ends Dick lmwalle and Rich Ki-hwnh. lmwalle was rated by Oregon coaches as one of the most tinclerated players on the Pacific Coast this season, ami between them the two ends hauled down 55 passes for 856 yards and eight touchdowns. yards, but Casanova figures his replacement, sophomore Dennis Keller, and veteran Larry Hill, can keep the Mustang defense honest. Oregon plans workouts in El Paso Dec. 27-29 with a light drill on the 30th. The game will be televised over a regional network. ' rSh.
