MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1942. Both Oregon Quints Meet Defeat in Northern Conference Battles o PAGE TWO GILBERTS HEAVES DEFEAT STATERS Durdan Closes Gap, But Three Quick Scores At Finish Net Win. Pullman, Jan. II. (IP) A Washington State college basket ball team that had (lumped bad ly after a fine pre- son itart came to Ufa with an explosion of point midway In the first half tonight and held on grimly to edge out Oregon State, 53 to 48, and move back Into the Pacific Coast conference north ern division pennant picture. Marv Gilberg Droke up a see saw argument In the last 10 minutes of the opening half with a deluge of six baskets. When Gilberg started the score was tied at 11-all after the lead had switched six times, and when the half ended W. S. C. was in front, 25 to 12. The visiting Beavers fed more fuel to their methodical ma chine, boosting the pace slightly and driving Washington State's Cougars nearly frantic with their control of the backboards and the ball. Sophomore Lew Beck paced the attack, Don Durdan and big John Mandle pointed the de fense and Oregon State dumped in seven points before the Cou gars could connect. The Beavers kept hacking at the lead until a field toss by Durdan left them only two points In arrears at 45-43 and then Gilberg reentered the pic ture with two quick goals, Bishop added another and W. 8. C. was beyond danger, with only two minutes left to play. Gilberg's 17 points gave him scoring honors and Bishop fol lowed with 13. Beck, who tal lied 11 in the second half, led Oregon State with 14.

(T) Frank Leo Brazill, veteran of 21 years In minor league bore ball, will manage the Portland Beavers In 1942, President E. J. Schefter announced today. Brazill, Beaver third base man from 1922 to 1925, was named manager after Marvin (Freck) Owen, the club's present thlrd-sackrr, declined to take the pilots' post. Selection of Brazill, rated as one of the top left-handed hit ters during his long career In the minors, came as a surprise here. Recently released as a New York Giant scut, he had not been mentioned for the Portland job. BraziU's most recent man agerial experience was with Memphis of t!,u Southern asso ciation In 1939. Before that he had managed Nashville of the Southern association and Green wood and Greenville, both of the Cotton States circuit.

Medford Roseburg Results Friday At Medford 34, Ashland 18. At Grants Pass 41, Rose burg 29. Medford's battling Bengals came roaring up from the depths of a mediocre season here Friday night to score a smashing 34 to 18 triumph over the Ashland Grizzlies and rocket squarely into the mid dle of the bitter struggle for the district 4 championship and state tournament berth. . The Tiger conquest, coupled with Grants Pass 41 to 29 up set' whipping of the Roseburg Indians, deadlocked Medford and Roseburg for secat.d place, a mere half-game behind lead ing Ashland and tossed the pen nant scrap into a desperate dog fight. Ashland never had a chance as the Tigers, superior in every department, out-fought and out maneuvered their keenest bas ketball rivals from the opening whistle to the final buzzer. It was by far the finest game Med ford has played this year. Leading the Medford attack. which created an early lead th was maintained throughout, was Captain Henry Herman. He whipped in three field baskets in the first three minutes of play to give the Tigers a 6 to 1 advantage, and wound up the evening with a total of 13 points. Equally Important in Med ford's victory-pattern was the tenacious man-for-man defense the locals rammed down the Grizzlies' collective throats. Dy namic, diminutive Don Fawcett, Medford's Junior guard, smoth ered Charlie Jandreau to the extent of two field goals and two free throws, and Darrell Montelth blanked Bud Provost from the field. So tough was the Bengal bulwark that Ash land made but one cripple shot, and that on a "sneak" break by Balfour. The Grizzlies can ned only five field goals in 48 shots for a percentage of .104. Meanwhile, with Fawcett and Reynolds setting up the plays. the Tigers cracked Ashland's zone defense for 13 field buck ets. The locals made 13 of their 39 shots for a great .333 per centage, with Herman hitting six for 18, Wall three for five and Fawcett two for four. At no time was Medford threatened. The Tigers led at the first quarter, 8 to 3; at half- time, 18 to 9, and at the third quarter mark, 23 to 16. Their passing was excellent, as was their all-around ball-handling. and Wall and Herman domln ated both backboards to keep Ashland on the defensive most of the time. Center Jim Rath nabbed Ashland's first field just before the first period ended, and the only other two-point er the Orlixlles could make In the first hslf we scored by Rlggs sec onds before th hair, in the mean time.
