High Schools Near
End of Cage Trail
By United Prest
Giants Pass clinched the dis
trict 4 crown Friday night with
a 59 to 34 victory over Central
Point and Bend moved up as a
threat to the state title with a
63 to 59 win over Salem in the
final lap of Oregon state high
school class A basketball play.
While the favorites were mov
ing along, Hillsboro and La
Grande fell down in games that
may not necessarily affect their
chances in the state playoffs.
Hilltboro Loses
Hillsboro stumbled over Banks
and the Banks five went home
with a 36 to 34 triumph in dis
trict 9. The playoff tournament,
however, is a double elimination
affair and Hillsboro, highly-regarded
for state play, will have
a chance at revenge.
La Grande, favored in dis
trict 1, was defeated by Pendle
ton, 38-34, in the Blue Mountain
league but the Pendleton win
did not affect the district situation.
Eugene bounded along in dis
trict 6 with a 62-43 win over
Oakridge and will meet Cottage
Grove in a playoff. Cottage
Grove downed Springfield 31-26.
Jefferson and Roosevelt kept
their deadlock in the Portland
city race, the former beating
Grant 73-58 and the latter win
ning from Lincoln, 52-46.
Alsea of Benton county was
the first to qualify for the state
class "B" tournament by win
ning the district 3-B tournament
in Eugene, with a close 27-26 tri
umph over Brownsville.

Beavers Stay
Conference
Champ Race
By United Press
If a Cougar could laugh, the
Washington State college mascot
probably would be snickering to
day at the way the northern di
vision Pacific Coast conference
basketball race is legging it
toward the finish line.
Oregon State college, know
ing that one loss would virtual
ly hand the Cougars the title on
a silver platter, dumped arch
rival Oregon 51-42 Friday night.
The University of Idaho Van
dals slammed the door shut on
any title aspirations the Wash
ington Huskies may have held
with a resounding 57-40 victory.
Cougari Win Alio
The Cougars, just to show
their indifference to the goins-
on, sauntered past Gonraga 52-34
in a non-conference tilt.
Oregon State took the first of
a two-game series against Oregon
in a display of highly-accurate
shooting. The Beavers bloke out
of a close first half tussle which
saw the score tied three times,
with a 27-20 intermission lead.
Earlv in the second half the
Webfoots closed the gap to three
points at 28-25 but Senior Guard
Tommv Holir.pn made five quick
pointsto give OSC a 36-32 lead
and a comfortable margin tney
retained the rest of the game

to be a somewhat surprising
team in strength as it entered the

Tornado Cagers Down
Eagles Quint, 60 to 23
Getting a big, broad Jump at
the start, Medford high's cagers
outclassed Eagle Point 60 to 23
Friday night in a Southern Ore
gon loop engagement at Eagle
Point.
Generally the Black Tornado
has experienced stiff opposition
from. the Eagles in the early part
of contests. Friday night it was
a different story. Medford count
ed up 12 points before Eagle
Point could score on Pat Sim
mons' fcul toss at 4 minutes 30
seconds of the opening stanza.
Medford Upt Lead
At 6 minutes, Medford had
broadened to 17 to 1. Eagle
Point's only field goal of the
frame was a gift when an over
zealous Medfordite unlawfully
slapped the net on Pat Simmon s
shot that did not drop through
the hoop. Mcdford's first quar
ter lead was 21 to- 5. Halltimc
count was 35 to 11 and third
quarter score 48 to 19. j
Reserves saw considerable ac-j
tivity for Medford. Coach Frank ;
Roclandt employed 14 hoopsters
and 10 of them accounted for
markers on the scoreboard. Con
nie Holzgang. who got a late
start in the tussle, headed the
Tornado with 12 tallies. Larue ;
Smith and Jack Morris each haa ;
8.
The Black Tornado outdrove, I
outpassed and out hoi E a g I e j
Point all the way ' nd even re- j
serves were not too hard pressed !
by the usually more stuDDorn
Eagles.
Spots liagged. Rough
The contest had its rough and
ragged spots and officials Parker
Hess and Frank O'Neil charged
Medford with 17 fouls and Eagle
Point with 16. Medford made 8
out of 17 free throws and Eagle
Points 7 out of 18.
In the preliminary the high
