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.

O'ER TIGERS, 38-35
The Invading North Bend bas
ketball team captured Its eighth
straight victory last night by
halting a desperate fourth-quar
ter Medord rally to defeat the
Tigers, 38 to 33, before a slim
crowd in the local gym.
Trailing by a score of 38 to 30
with four minutes to play, the
Bengals launched a drive that
reduced the North Bend lead to
38 to 34 as Don Fawcett sunk
two free throws and R. B. Web
ber canned a field goal. Then,
with 20 seconds to go, Center
Wigant of the visitors clinched
the contest with a field goal.
Only once were the Tigers
ahead, when Webber scored
from the field to open the game.
North Bend quickly stepped out
front to enjoy an 8 to 5 first
quarter lead and a 19 to 13 half-
time margin. They Increased
the bulge to 30 to 22 at th end
of the third period.
Captain Hank Herman of the
Tigers was high scorer of the
game with 18 points, while Wi
gant tallied 13 for the visitors.
Although each team made 13
field goals, North Bend was
more successful from the free
th.uw line with 12 out of 17
to Medford's nine out of 18.
Bill Wall of the locals was
ejected in the fourth period for
four personals.
In the preliminary, Ashland

Icy. AS BEAVER BOSS
FortlanJ, Ore., Jan. 31. (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'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
