I Tornado Drops Thriller To Grizzlies, 48 to 43 By Hank Green Mail Tribune Sporti Editor Precision play with set shots, play-making, taking opponents out of position and shooting when openings come could not compete against rough, man-toman, arms-in-the-air type ot bas ketball at Ashland Friday night and the Black Tornado lost an other ball game. The Grizzlies were not dirty ballplayers in any sense of the word but their way of hanging over every Medford player, whether he had the ball or not, and their weight and height heloed much in giving Ashland high a conference-district thril ler win by a 48-43 margin. Coach Frank Roelandt of the Tornado after the game told the writer "Ashland deserved to win for they played a good ball eame" to eliminate Medford from any possible chance of win ning the Southern Oregon con ference and District 4 title for this season. Medford never gave up from the opening whistle until the last buzzer sounded and" the game was evenly fought through out. The first half favored the Tornado as they outscored the Grizzlies and forced Ashland to tally most of its goals from "way out." The last two quarters saw Dale Landing, Dick Smith and Jerry Langer use their superior weight and size to good advan tage in getting rebounds and in jump-pivot shots from the key or a couple of feet either side of it. Medford missed quite a few ' shots by narrow margins in the opening quarter and found itself with precision in the second pe riod to outplay the Grizzlies with ease. The three-second rule designed to stop stalling on the part of the team ahead, helped Ashland much in the final quarter. "Le gal" stalling by the Grizzlies in the final two minutes forced Medford to grab for the ball and press closely, resulting in fouls. All four of the points made by the Grizzlies in the last three minutes were made by free throws and these were almost the margin of an Ashland high victory. Medford started out in high gear with Don Denman sink- High School Scores FRIDAY'S GAMES: Central Catholic 53, Columbia Prep 29. Oregon City 68. West Linn 51 Seaside 43, Astoria 33 Elmlra 44.

The game was even in the first quarter as each team matched the other for points. The Tornado started the sec ond quarter with an 8 to 7 lead and it stayed ahead throughout. The local youths gradually built up the margin with Jack Morris proving a big help with his eight points to lead at the halftime rest period by a 24 to 19 score. Ashland staged a comeback in the third quarter by covering Medford's scoring aces Morris, Bob Shores and Denman close ly and doing a bit of long shoot ing and corner tries themselves. The scoreboard read Medford 34, Ashland 32 at the third pe riod buzzer. The Grizzlies continued to guard Medford closely; almost hanging onto their shirts to check the fast Tornadoes and at the same time Ashland pushed them in under the basket and from most other angles to lead 44 to 41 at the automatic time out rest. Ashland made 13 out of 20 free throws in the game while the Tornado got 5 out of 12. Lineups: 43 Medtore f 8 Shores t 1 L. Smith c 15 Denman g 12 F. Morris it 2 Holzstrans Substitutions Medford.
