The United Stales, looking for
Its first Davis Cup tennis tri
umph since 11151), was forced to
settle for a 1-1 split of the open
ing challenge round singles
mulches against Australia to
day when Aussie Roy Emerson

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. Then on
Saturday night, the losers of the
Friday games will tussle, lol-
lowed by the championship
scrap between the winners of
the Friday night encounters.
Capacity Crowd
The first game each night will
start at 7 o clock, with the see
ond to get under way around
8:30 p. m. A capacity crowd of
about 1,000 is expected.
Phoenix has the best mark of
the four teams, 5-0. The Pirates
have beaten Suthcrlin and Glide
each twice and Myrtle Creek
once. St. Mary's is 3-0, having
defeated Riddle once and St.
Francis twice.
Illinois Valley sports a 2-1
mark for the young season. The
Cougars have split with Del
Norte and defeated Glendalc.
Eagle Point is still looking for
its first win of the year. The
Eagles' six losses have been to
Crater, Brookings twice, Lake-
view, Douglas and Glide.
The holiday tourney will be
eyed with interest by all Rogue
League fans, for it will give
something of an Inkling of what
is to come in the loop this year.
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. "We hope to
change that this year, Durham
concluded.
Phoenix Starters
The Pirates will take the floor
with a starling lineup chosen
from' these seven men: uan
Beeson. John Barker. Jon Gran-
bv. Ron Williams, Ken Hawkins
Dale S a u c h and Jim Cons
bruck. Eugene Hill and Lex
Hamilton will also sec action.
The Phoenix team practiced
Monday and planned more
practice today. They've been
concentrating on defense, Dur
ham said, noting that St. Mary's
has been scoring 70 points or
better per game.
Coach Andy Anderson of Il
linois Valley plans In start Dar
rvl Gellcrl. 8 feet, John Baurn-
gardner, 5-10, Roger Martin.

Wes Nicholson, 6-1.

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

Footbull League after a wrist

Sun Bowl game.

figures to he its strongest since

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

Berry has a Hock, oi largcis

Oregon coaches as one of the

Pacific Coast this season, ami

hauled down 55 passes for 856
yards and eight touchdowns.

replacement, sophomore Dennis
Keller, and veteran Larry Hill,
can keep the Mustang defense
honest.
Oregon plans workouts in El

on the 30th.
The game will be televised
