Sunday, December 19, 1934 MEDFORD OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN Medford2s3Tribune srPdDnRirs Tornado . A hard-running Medford high school, basketball team, out- scored the opposition in every quarter Friday night to over power a game and scrappy but outclassed Eagle Point quintet 67 to 33 on the Medford court, The potent ; Black Tornado was not without some rough edges but it showed hustle, drive and scoring punch, particularly in the first and second quarters and early parts of the second and fourth when the regulars were in action. And with the fast gal lop it took a commanding lead in the opening moments and was never seriously challenged by the Eagles. Medford tallied in the opening seconds when Bud Kastner dunked in two points on a tip-off play. Then the Tornado, with' Prank . Rector, Jerry Kalapus, Larry Copple and Kastner all having a hand, poured in 13 more points before Harvey Nel son hit a field goal for the Eagles first scoring more than halfway through the period. 25 to 5 at Quarter --. Adding another 10 counters, Medford had a 25 to 5 spread at the end of the first canto. Scor ing pace slowed down for the Tornado and improved some for the Eagles after that but Med ford had leads of 38 to 15 at half- time and a bulging 53 to 23 after three quarters. The home team outscored the Eagles 13 to 10 in the second, quarter, 15 to 8 in the third and 14 to 10 in the fourth. Complete teams of Medford reserves, after substitutions by ones and twos, played the last 5V minutes of the second stanza and about the last 6V of the fourth. Scoring by the Tornado slowed when the reserves found tough going against the Eagle zone defense. Coaches Jerry Mosby of Eagle Point and Frank Roelandt of Medford both use their entire squads. Twelve Eagles and 13 Medf ordites got into the scram ble. At times Medford did not get full advantage of its better height and the Eagles, tabbed the strong team among - the .smaller A schools, of the area, : were to a measure responsible. They fought hard for the ball BASKETBALL - SATURDAY COLLEGE SCORES Belmont Abbey (N. C.) 67. StoneMU . St. Mary's (Minn.) 52. Illinois Tech 36 . Ohio - University 88.

Medford cleared the ball off the board 28 times on offense and 23 on defense while the Eagles grabbed 13 balls off each board. Failure to cover on 5jme deep , rebounds kept the Medford total from being high er. A leg injury that hobbled 6 foot 3-inch Bill Caldwell was a detriment to Eagle chances under the boards. The tall Eagle Pointer saw a good bit of duty but with his bad knee en cased in a heavy brace. He got one point for the Eagles during the tussle. Kalapus Top Scorer Kalapus, putting in seven field goals and three free throws for 17 points was the high scorer of the contest. Frank Rector hit for 12 and Larry Copple for 11 for Medford. Main point getters for Eagle Point were Harvey Nelson and Ken Bitterling with seven each. ' ' The Tornado with 26 field goals in 66 tries hit a commend able .394 average. Medford sank 15 free throws in 24 attempts for .625. Eagle Point made 13 out of 29 from the free line. Average from the field was highest when the regulars were in. Next foe on the Medford list is Roseburg here Wednesday night. The Indians have lost to North Bend which played Med ford last night. Roseburg has only three men back who have had varsity experience. They are Nub Beamer, the grid star, How ard Backen and Dick Roberts.

Clean Policy After the investigation, a wit ness quoted Byers as saying Ok lahoma's recruiting policy is "the cleanest we've ever investi gated." Byers, however, declined! to verify the statement to news men, j . The Oklahoma city touchdown club, publicized in past years as an organization of "millionaires" that "buys" players for the uni versity's football team, told the committee it gives $25,000 to $30,000 yearly to. Oklahoma for athletic scholarships and that the practice is above-board. Paul Brown, secretary of the Touchdown Club since its forma tion in 1948, said he told the committee that money from the club's fund "goes to the univer sity and is administered by the university under the Big Seven and NCAA rules." ' "We have made a complete financial audit to the NCAA of every check we have written," he- said. "That audit discloses we have operated entirely on that basis."

In football, Eddie Erdelatz of Navy is the most sought after coach in the intercollegiate ranks.

Williams Top Slugger of. League ' Chicago (U.R) Ted Wil liams failed to win the batting title and . lost out in the home run and runs batted - in races but the v Boston Red Sox star still was the American league's No. ,1 slugger this year. Official, figures revealed that the 36-year-old Williams accum ulated 245 bases in 386 official appearances at the plate for a .635 slugging percentage. Includ ed among his 133 hits were 23 doubles, one triple and 29 hom ers.' ' . Williams, who "suffered a brok en shoulder injury on the first day of spring training and did not break into the Red Sox line up until late May, batted .345, drove in 89 runs and led the league in bases on balls for the eighth time in his career with 136. - . ' h- '. .v " Ted's .345-figure topped Bob by Avila's .341 mark; but Wil liams did hot ' qualify for the batting title because of -failure to accumulate 400 . official . at bats. Third, the consistency with which pitchers walked Williams deprived him of his fifth bat: ting title. Williams' closest competition came from a surprising source rookie Bill Skowron of the New York Yankees. Skowron, a muscular - right-handed hitter who played both first base and outfield, compiled a .577 slug ging percentage which is almost sure to earn him a starting role with the Yankees next season. Behind the two leaders were Minnie Minoso of the Chicago White Sox, who had a .535 per centage and Mickey Mantle of the Yankees, who had .525. Mantle, however, led in strike outs with 107.

The high executives of the majors come up with a different idea every time they turn around, and most of the ' suggestions are so con fusing as the men themselves. The latest, one Is that Denver and Phoenix should be included in a major league setup. When and if the majors come to. the west, chances are it will San Francisco and Los Angeles. Then there will be openings for four cities in the Pacific Coast League. Good guesses for these are Vancouver, B.C., Spokane, Wash., Salt Lake City, Utah for- Husky Gridders On Probation ' Seattle -r(U.R) The Univer sity of Washington announced that two Husky football players who were c charged with a mor als offense will be-: kept on dis ciplinary probation through the winter academic quarter. , A King County Superior Court jury found Bert Watson innocent of ; charges involving a 15-year-old girl.
