Tornado Heeds Win Medford needs a victory to morrow night to keep in what ever chance it has of overtaking league-leading Grants Pass. While it is conceded the Cave men are undefeated and the Tor nado has lost two, a win by Medford over G. P. and another G. P. loss would tie them. The Grizzlies lost a close game to Medford earlier in the season on the Tornado's floor and with the rivalry always pre eminent when the two schools meet in sports, most anything could happen Friday at Ashland. Medford high cagers were a bit downhearted last Saturday night after losing a close, hard fought and rough game to Klam ath on the Pelicans' floor but this week the local boys coach ed by Frank Roelandt have set tled down to a steady, deter mined practice pace. Local Has Spirit The Tornado has shown spirit and drive in practice this week and has indicated no letdown. One would think Medford is Gordon's Indians Salary, $35,000 Cleveland, O., Feb. 16 OJ.fi) The Cleveland Indians today con firmed the signing of Second Baseman Joe Gordon, who pre viously had expressed a desire to bow out of major league base ball In order to manage a Pa cific coast club and be near his home. The veteran Gordon, who at 35 is still regarded one of the best second basemen in the busi ness, came to terms with Gen eral Manager Hank Greenbers in a long. distance telephone call yesterday from his Eugene, Ore., home. Greenberg said Gordon had signed a one-year contract at the same salary he received in 1949. He was paid a reported $35,000 last year and it was believed that a pay cut of $5,000 in the first contract mailed him for this year had been restored.

Coach Ken Schilling of Ash land is quoted in the Ashland Tidings as saying he plans to use the fast break offense in the hope of running the Tornado squad to death Friday evening. The Grizzlies may use a 1-3-1 de fense to throttle the set attack used by the Black Tornado. Local Attack Smoother The local club, on the other hand, continues to smooth out its attack with drills to improve the shooting eyes and to set up plays that bring local scores. Much of this is methodical bas ketball but It cn payoff as op ponents have learned. Many fans have remarked on the deliberate, precise basket ball that the Tornado throw, against opponents that may be slow in producing but its steadi ness finally makes baskets.
