The game was the eve ning's finale in the first round of the district four basketball tournament. Reich's charity heave came in the closing sec onds when he was fouled by Jim Palmer, classy Pelican forward. Grants Pass surprised every one but themselves when they turned back Ashland 41 to 39 in the waning seconds when Jack Lutz potted two free throws on Dommie Provost's foul to break a 39-39 deadlock. Ross Tits Score The first quarter of the Mcd-ford-Klamath tilt was a nip and tuck affair with first one and then the other team taking the advantage. Midway in the period the Pels were on top of an 8 to 4 count but the Medford Ben gals tied it at 10-10 with Jerry Ross slipping in the tying bucket. From there Medford kept the upper hand, holding a slim 14- 12 edge at end of the period. With four field goals and four charity tosses, the Al Simpson gang extended their margin to 28 to 21 at half-time and it look ed like the rout was on. The rest did the Klamath boys good. apparently, for they not only stayed along with the Southern Oregon conference champlonB in the third canto but gained three points over their half-time deficit to trail 33 to 30 at end of the three-quarter mark. K's Narrow Count Shortly after the final session got under way Palmer narrowed the Tornado advantage to 36-34 with a field goal and Jerry Thorn tied it up with a little less than two minutes to go, at 37-37. With about 30 seconds left to play, Reich was fouled and dropped in the winning point wnich gave Medford the right to battle it out with Grants Pass for trip to the stato tourna ment. Dnrrell Riggs, who turned in a sparkling game at center, and Reich went the roule for Med ford while chest colds forced Bob Watson, Ross. Jim Cave and Earl Stelle to take frequent rests. Medford got only one field goal in the second half, by Stelle at the start of the third period but collected 10 points on free throws. Too much determination seem ed to be the undoing of Klamath Falls, losing Jerry Hover, Lcroy Coleman, Ray Craig and Bob Rcdkey on fouls. Klamath com mitted 29 infractions while 14 were called on Medford. Ashland Holds Lead Ashland seemed to have things pretty much under control in the first half, leading 11 to 5 at the quarter and 20 to 14 when the teams went to the dressing rooms. Whilo Ashland was col lecting seven counters in the third session, the Cavemen were accumulating IS to hold a 2 to 27 edge as the stanza closed. A basket by Wayne Brown late in the fourth period, after AshlHnd tried it three-minute stall with a two-point lead, knotted the score.
