Over
Medford high's Black Tornado,
which threw caution to the winds
late in the third quarter and ear
ly in the fourth, steadied to re
gain control and overcome the
smaller but smooth, sharp, quick
Cleveland high basketball quint
from Portland here last night 58
to 48.
The Tornado, which chalked
up its fifth consecutive victory
and blew Cleveland from the un
beaten ranks after four wins,
will try to make it two straight
over the Indians tonight. Cleve
land and Medford meet again on
the senior high maplecourt a
8:15 o clock.
The prelim at 6:45 o'clock will
match the Crater and Medford
junior varsities in their fourth
combat of the year.
After a first quarter deadlock
last night, Medford, with Frank
Rector the "go boy" in the of
fense, built up even point leads
in the second panel and 10-tally
spreads in the third period. Then
the advantage shrank to nothing
and the Tornado had to break
a 44-all knot in the closing quar
ter before recording its sixth
triumph in seven games.
Indians Lead
Cleveland's agile, snappy
passing Indians, real crowd
pleasers as advance reports said,
took an early 6 to 2 lead in the
fast-paced scrap between two
hustling ball clubs. But Medford
never trailed after Larry Cop
pie's shot, the Tornado's first
field goal, locked the count at
9-all when the game was three
minutes old. Score at the end of
the opening stanza stood 17-all.
The Tornado was in front 32 to
27 at the half and 44 to 40 after
three quarters.
For the whole fracas, the
Tribesmen from Portland had a
34 to 28 backboard rebounding
edge over the taller Medford
team. Field goal shooting . was
even at 20 each and it was by
the margin at the free throw
line, 18 to 8, that the Tornado
claimed the decision. The Black
Tornado scored its first seven
points of the mix and also its
last seven markers on free shots.
One Medford free shot in the

final quarter gave the Tornado
the lead lor keeps. The others
followed three field flips which
provided bulge enough to win.
Game-Tied Up
Bob Hevener bucketed a goal
on the fourth quarter tip off for
Cleveland and, 37 seconds into
the stanza, the Indian's cat-like
scoring ace,' Dick Jolley, lifted
an underhand lay-up to create
the 44-all deadlock.
Eight seconds later Jerry Kal
apus, on Jolley's infraction, got
the free shot which put the Tor
nado on top with a 45 to 44
standing. The goals from the
field were a long one-hander by
Copple, a shot close in on a steal
by Rector then a shot on a re
bound by Copple. Medford took
51 to 44 command. While the
Tornado padded with gifters. Jay
Bashor and Jolley completed
scoring .for the Indians with
fielders. .
Razorback
Spirit High
Fayetteville, Ark.CU.R) The
Arkansas Razorbacks, smallest
major bowl squad both in size
and numbers, leave tonight for
Dallas and the Cotton Bowl, a
definite underdog to - Georgia
Tech.
However, by talking to Arkan
sas" students you would think
they had Bobby Dodd and his
plit-T; wonders three touch
towns down and three minutes
la go.
Although Coach Bowden Wy
att won't let his team members
talk with reporters or to make
predictions about any football
game, students close to the play
ers say team spirit never has
been higher. That is, of course,
only hearsay. That the team
never has been in better shape
is fact.
Top Shape
Wyatt, always a conditioner
and a fundamentalist, admits his
team is in top shape.
Of the 34 Arkansas team
members, only four tip the scales
at more than 200 pounds, and
yet it was this squad that won
eight of 10 games when the ex
perts picked them to end in the
South conference cellar.
Another quirk that makes the
Tech team a solid favorite, is
that the two teams that beat
Arkansas LSU and SMU
were defeated by Georgia Tech.
Another is that the SMU "belly
series" which ripped Arkan
sas line to shreds for three
quarters, is a favorite of the
Dodd system.
Medford went into ball con
trol in the final moments and
Cleveland piled up the fouls in
efforts to get possession of the
ball.- Jolley fouled out with 67
seconds left in the game.
A rebound bucket four min
utes into the hassle by Glenn
Peterson gave Medford its first
lead at 11 to 9. The Tornado had
bulges of 13" to 9 .and. 15 .to 11
before Cleveland fought' back to
a 15-all deadlock.
Long Range Firing Hurts
Score was tied briefly at 19
all in the second quarter but with
Rector leading the way with four
field goals, three in a row, Med
ford built gaps of 28 to 21 and 32
to 25.' Rector got another three
field buckets in the third chuk
ker as the Tornado boomed to
40 to 30 and 42 to 32 advantages.
Medford kept ; firing at long
range in the last three minutes
of the third quarter and at the

Chiloquin,
Panthers Vie
On Thursday
Jacksonville In the second
of two ' games arranged on
Christmas day Jacksonville
high will play the. Chiloquin bas
ketball quint here on Thursday.
Game time will be 8 p.m.
' Chiloquin defeated the Red
skins 63 to 37 at Chiloquin on
Monday.
The Panthers usually are a
strong club and their lopsided
win over Jacksonville was an
indication of strength again this
season. They have a number of
boys back from a good 1953-1954
club including Jo Jo George and
Vernon and Ivan Joe, Indian
boys. .
Shooting Off
Coach Millard Webb of Jack
sonville tentatively ' listed Bob
Gemaehlich at center and Har
vey Hueners- and Dick ' Sanf ord
at forwards as starters Thurs
day. Guard selection may be
among Fred Walters, Ron Mc
Intyre and Jack Daly. Harold
Jordan is missing from the
squad. He's in Canada for the
holidays.
Webb said the Redskins
looked their best this year at
Chiloquin except in their shoot
ing. The. Panthers had intermis
sion leads in the game of 11 to
6, 26 to 13 and 40 to 19. Walters
headed- Jacksonville scorers
with 10 points and Mclntyre got
nine. For Chiloquin Dick Sei

Officials Defend
One-in-Two Rule
Los Angeles (U.R) The agree
ment between the Big Ten and
the Pacific Coast Conference
limiting appearance of teams in
the Rose Bowl to once in two
years has been defended by .the
commissioners of both leagues.
Big Ten Commissioner K. L.
Tug Wilson and PCC Commis
sioner Victor O. Schmidt de
fended the arrangement before a
meeting of the Southern Calif
ornia Football Writers Assn.
Wilson said the one-in-two
rule was necessary to get faculty
approval of the agreement and
said he doubted if it would be
fair to have the same team ap
pear on successive years.
Schmidt . said, the one-in-two
rule was a compromise between
the previous Big Ten ruling al
lowing its teams to come to the
bowl once in three years and
the PCC ruling that put no bans
on consecutive - appearances.

start of the fourth. Most of the
attempts missed and the ; re
bounds were nabbed t by the
Clevelanders. That gave the In
dians their .chance to catch up
and they made the best of it.
Bashor got four points and Jol
ley and shorty Eric Peterson
each two "while Copple put in a
two pointer for Medford to make
the 44 to 40, third quarter stand
The Tornado's 18 free throws
were made on 30 attempts from
16 Cleveland personal fouls and
one , technical. Cleveland made
its eight on 17 tries from 10 Med
ford infractions.
Warning Issued
Some of the officiating by Ref
erees Virgil bwanson ana Liee
Flink met with the disapproval
of Indian Coach Al Negratti and
he let them know about it. The
result was a stern warning from
Swanson.
Hitting a variety of shots but
with his best luck on jump shots
keyhole distance from the bas
ket, Rector headed all point
getters with 23. Copple, not
shooting as well as usual, was
second high for Medford with 13.
Jolley, a hook snot artist su
preme, wasn't given many good
shots but the tough to guard
Portlander looped in eight field
goals and paced Indian score-
makers with 17. Bashor counted
11.
Medford's shooting from the
field was short of its previous
three performances. The Torna
do made 20 out of 55 casts for a
.363 average. In retrieving re
bounds the much shorter Cleve
landers had a 26 to 13 margin
under the Medford offense board
At the opposite end Medford had
a 15 to 8 edge.
