o 8 Medf ord Roseburg Stages Desperate Drive In Final Quarter But Tornado Holds Lead The Medford Black Tornado basketeers snapped t h . Roseburg Indian win streak at six fames last night, 46-43. Playing away from home, the Indians put ort a desper ation last quarter drive to narrow the gap to three points but time ran out before yiey of the game. Aa in manv another nasKeioan contest, the story w told for the Indians from the free throw line. The locals connected on only seven of 21 free throw tries, wnue me Medfordites were making good on 10 of 18. ThA lain lea nil COt Off 10 a rOUS ing start with a nip and tuck first quarter, ine icaa cnanKeu times and the quints were tied three times. That period ended, 12-9 fbr Medford. In the second period, Roseburg evened it up aeain at 12-all, but afler about three minules of that quarter, the winners pulled ahead, 1513 to slay n the lead. nioHfnrH hnill uo a 10-noint mar- tin late in the half, but a free throw by Mickey Coen and a quick oasket by Kee Briggs made the haltlime score, ii-. oi.nn Suarkt Third Period Starling the second half, the hosts widened the gap to 34-22, the biggest lead ot the nignt. mil men tho Indians hecan to caich fire, Snarked bv jinier Frank Olson who nnured in eight counters in the third quarter, the Roseburg team sliced the lead to four points at 36-32. The quarter ended with the same four point margin, .-. It looked like the Indians might pull the game out of the fire early in the final canto as Briggs potted one to put the score at 38-36. But two Medford field soals and a free toss squelched the threat for the moment. It wai lo much to over come. In the last three minutes, Medford went into a stall and Rose burg tried desperately to retrieve the ball. Jerry Sconce and Dale Blnnck succeeded in hawking the ball for four counters, but it was too little too late. Indians Shaw Hustle The Roseburg squad was cold and missed a large' percentage of their field shots, but at times out hustled the Tornado and looked smoother than the hosting five. The rebounds were about evenly di vided, but the offensive play of Frank Olson was the high point of the evening. He did more than his usual yeoman work under both boards. Medford guard 1-oren Soderlund set the pace for the evening with 16 points. Rosehurg's Olson was runnerup with 12 followed closely by Briggs with 10.

It lived only three years. The demise came last night as delegates to (he National Collegi ate Athletic association convention, through a coalition of the South and East, knocked the most contro versial item in NCAA history out by a margin of three votes. Schools To Handle Aid Instead of the code, the mem bers of the NCAA.will handle aid to athletes individually. Leaders of the taction that wiped out t h e code said they would award aid on the basis of need. The Southeastern. Southern and Southwest conferences led the fi':ht to get rid of the 'id,., mustering 130 voles out of a possible ISO the necessary two-thirds majority. The ballot was secret. Conftranct Meats Slated All over the nation conferences will be holding meetings shortly to work out their rules on aid to atn- letes. Where a school is in a con ference, the conference will set the rule. An indepndnt will make its own. The NCAA convention has an other full day to run but further business appears decidedly on the routine sine. Yesterday it not only killed the sanity code but handled its other highly controversial matter. It banned live telecasting ot loninaii games when Tom Hamilton, al lelic director ol Pittsburgh who headed the committee on televi sion, recommended a year's mora torium. He pointed to declining football attendant as the reason. Recruiting Still Regulated Thou?h the code was eliminated the power to regulate recruiting of athletes was left in the hands of the NCAA. This rule prohibits an offer of financial inducement to a prospective student. It also says expenses of an athlete visiting the campus shall not be paid and pro hibits try-outs.

It was height that spelled Ihe dif ference. It just about limited the Roseburg, five to one shot at every onslaught on the basket. The Cave men frosh pranced on the floor with only one of Ihe starters under six feet tall. Their big center scaled six-three and both forwards and a guard were six even. Against this height, the locals were handcuffed under the boards. In addition, regular center J i m Gilbert was home with the mumps. High point men for the game were guard Bill Wood and forward Gary Sutphin, the former Glide Wildcat who recently moved to Grants Pass. They made eleven counters.

The hosting quin tet walked over powerful Riddle in a tight defensive game, 37-23, for its second league win. The Riddle' five was bigger, hut they were outplayed on the boards and the strong zone defense set nn by the Tigers kept the'm shooting from outside the circle.

Ihe Irish never pressed closely in the tight contest, but were only four points off the Dace at half. time when the score slood, 1814.

Wrestling Card Promises Action For Local Fans Anything can happen and prob ably will at Ihe Roseburg armory arena Saturday night. There are several reasons for the possibility that hostilities coulU turn the en tire two-star program into a bloody brawl. A one-hour preliminary will start off the card at 8:30 p.m. wilh a tempo of possible fisticuffs Buddy Knox against Cowboy Carl son. The headlincr will match Sol dal Gorky against Leo Walliek. Carlson, the popular guy with the jeans and the Stetson, is going holler lhan a branding iron and the Douglas county addicts go for him in a big way. Knox, however, is rugged character who gives way" to no man, woman or child ami will he out to backbreak their idol. Local fans are confident because of Carlson's "bulldogging special." While the cash customers are counting on Walliek lo piledrive ine missian into sulimission it is only a fond hope. No one has heen able to survive Gorky's Si- uenan won leap and remain in action. Walliek, on Ihe other hand, has heen silent regarding the match and ringbirds believe he may have a "secret weapon." hlton Owen will referee both oouts.

It was all Oakland needed and by the third quarter mark the picture had reversed. The Oaks were ahead 38-36. In the fourth quarter, both teams went cold as a game of keep-swsy developed.

O and Melastot Charles Keeps Title With Win From Lee Oma By MURRAY ROSI NEW YORK UP) "I'll keep on lighting and I'll keep on winning and then maybe the people will give me full recognition as cham pion." Puzzled and somewhat bitter Ez zard Charles, heavyweight cham pion of the world, made the state ment shortl, after he had stopped veteran Lee Oma of Buffalo in 1:19 of the loth round of their l.S-round title bout in Madison Square Gar den last night. "Maybe I'll show 'em more the next time," said the Cincinnati Negro. The next lime is going to be late in February or early March against Jersey Joe Walcott in De troit, Miami or St. Louis. All that is expected to be ironed out today at a conference at the International Boxing club. Charles won h i s crown by whipping Jersey Joe in Chicago June 22, 1949. Ahead of Lewis Right now Charges is running ahead of Joe Louis' record time schedule. His defeat of the 34-year old Oma was his sixth defence of the crown. That leave Ezzy six down and 19 to go to tie the old Brown Bomber. Five of his title defenses were won by knockouts or technical knockouts and hir triumph over Oma wai almost according to the script. He methodically wore down his playboy rival with searing body punches and Oma ' ra.i out of gas," as predicted. It could be that Oma arm-weary by the 10th, decided he was going to take nr more punches than necessary. Referee Ruby Goldstein halted the often bullish bout with Oma still on his feet he was never knocked down during the evening but reeling around the ring from a barrage of punishing letts and rights to the head. Oma was on the verge of a knockdown when Goldstein stepptd in. Oma Stages Good Show The Jds were fully justified although Oma put u- a better ex hibition than figured. Charles, who was outweighed 185 to 19J, was a 1 to 6 favorite to win and a 1 to 2 choice to slop his foe. Yet, despite the victory, Charles felt disturbed and disillusioned by the boos and catcalls that came from many of the 11,504 paying fans. The booing was provoked by low blows, punches that cost Charles the fifth and eighth rounds. Of the low blows that cost him two rounds the fifth and eiehih and were responsible for much of the booing, Charles said "Oma carries his hands low and my punches kept glancing off. 1 don't think they hurt him," Rod and Gun Club Slates Practice Shoot Sunday Traps open at 10 a.m. Sunday morning at the Roseburg Rod and Gun club at Winchester for the second practice shoot of the year. as an incentive for expert shoot the club is offering merchan dise prizes in the form of hams, bacon, coffee and sugar.
