Meefis Cascade Hocks Sir a 1 lourne The Merrill Hudues, the run nerup in the Klamath County League and surprise winner in the District 5-B Tournament, will represent the district in tha State Class B basketball tourna ment in Bend which begins Thursday. The first round opponent for the Huskies is Cascade Locks of District 6. The Locks team reportedly was undefeated in league competition.and will give the Huskies a hard game. Merrill, however, is a tnurna-ment-wise team as this is the second year the Huskies have made the state tournament trip. The Huskies won the KCL title last year and finished fifth in the state tournament after los ing their opening round game. Four of the starting five from that team are back and should be more seasoned and ma ture now. Coach Jerry Grocne veld will take 10 players to the tournament. The starting five will include Ken Smith, a two-year junior letterman: Dave Hill, a three year senior letterman; Bob Moore, a two-year junior let- y 1st Conine terman; Dale Kurtz, a two year junior letterman; and Lar ry Conner, a one-year sopho more letterman. The other five making the trip will be one-letter winner senior Jim Reed; junior guard Ralph Northrup, a one-letter winner; sophomore forward letter win ner Maiiii) Barnes; sophomore guard Jim Mcrrilees, a one let ter holder, and Bob Merrilees. Smith leads the Husky con tingent in scoring. The junior guard has a 15.0 aver age through the 24 games. His high was a 28-point effort. Hill h the center on the team des- pile his small stature of only 6-0. He is a good feeder and scrappy rehounder with an S O average per game. Connor, Kurtz and Moore each 'have a 7.0 average for a 440 game average for tlie starting five only. The Ifekies are 15-9 for the season and were 11-3 in league play.

The Garden's first sellout crowd in 13 years 18,732 spectators OC' cupying all seats and standing room will watch unbeaten young Clay's attempt to fulfill his dar ing fourth-round prediction. Tho gate will approximate $105,000. Twenly-one-yoar-old Cassius of Louisville, Ky the world's second! ranking heavyweight, has loudly but successfully pin-pointed In ad vance the exact rounds for 12 of his previous 14 knockouts. ' And If tho "-Louisville Lip" can overcome the double Jonah of I shooting for his 13th round-predicted kayo on March 13, he'll certainly be in line for a Sep tember shot at the heavyweight crown. Jrines Never Kayocd A fourth-round knockout vic tory for Clay would be a notable achievement indeed be cause his opponent, New Yorker Jones, never has been kayoed In 25 fights against generally better opposition than Clay faced while Clay clicked off his 17 straight .victories as a professional. "I can't miss," said Cassius modestly today. 'I'm tho great . est."' The Kentucky contender, who garnishes his pugilism with poe try, then slated: Jones thinks he'll fight some more "Buth he's got to go in four." The belting bard from the blue grass country is buoyantly riding a string of nine straight knock outs. And he is favored at 17-3 to beat 26-year-old Jones, whol produced the biggest upset of 1062 on last Dec. 15 when he knocked out third-ranked Zora Folley in the seventh round at the Garden. Folley had been a 12-5 favorite. Lost Three Decisions That was Jones' 21st victory and 13th knockout In his 25 fights which Included one draw. Doug lost three bouts on decisions to Eddie Machen, light heavyweight champion Harold Johnson in a litle fight, and Folley in their first bout at Denver, Colo., Aug. 1, 12. He also had a draw with Erich Schocppner of Germany. Despite Jones' greater experi ence against good men, Cassius is a long favorite because he is the taller, heavier and longer In the reach. Tonight's scheduled 10-rounder at 10 p.m. EST will not be tele vised nor broadcast to homes. It will be sent by closed-circuit tele vision to 37 arenas in 33 cities with a total of 150,000 available teats and a possible $500,000 to tal gate.
