TORNADOES SNOW

Medford Speed Stops Grants
Pass Coldf in Contest for
Infantile Paralysis Fund.
A' smooth-working Medford
High School basketball (quad
ran over Grants Pass last night
40 to 18 in the Medford gym,
taking the lead In the first few
minutes of piny and Increasing
it throughout the game.
Fifty per cent of the net pro
ceeds of the game will go to the
polio fund.
. The Black Tornadoes broke
through the Grants Pass zone
defense almost at will, breaking
fast from under their own bas
ket and working the ball into
hooting position time and again
before the Cavemen could get
their defense functioning.
Medford's man-for-man de
fense gave Grants Pass consider
able trouble and as the game
moved into the last half forced
the Cavemen to resort to more
and more long shots.
Rlebel Sparks Cav.ra.n
Rlebei, Grants Pass guard,
would have given the Tornadoes
trouble had he been able to
shake loose his man on offensive
play. The rangy Caveman show
ed dead-eye tendencies when giv
en a clear shot, sinking all of his
three free throws for the evening
and the one open shot he was
able to get from scrimmage.
Teamwork play of Medford
was outstanding as time and
gain members of the Tornadoe
quad passed up a legitimate op
portunity to shoot to flip the
ball to a teammate In a little bet
ter position to score.
Grants Pass substituted free
ly, right from the start, but was
unable to find a combination that
could click against the speedy
Tornadoes. The game was re
markably clean, most of the few
fouls committed being offenses
of accident rather than Intent.
Tornadaos Rampant
Through the first quarter, the
Tornadoes ran their opponents
dliiy, running up a score of 9 to
t for the first period. They
towed down somewhat during
the second quarter, racking up
only six points, while the Cave
men had their best Inning, tally
ing seven, leaving the count IS
to 0 tor Medford at the half.
The Tornadoes took the of-
