TORNADO STORMS FROM BEHIND
TO OVERPOWER PIRATES 79-68
Medford's Black Tornado un
leashed its devastating power
late in the third quarter and
through the fourth period at
Coos Bay Saturday night to
record its second successsive
triumph over the rugged, ag
gressive Marshfield Pirates of
Coos Bay.
The Tornado spurred by the
high scoring of Larry Copple
and Bud Kataer, the point
producing and hustle of Frank
Rector and the defensive work
of Jerry Kalapus and Glenn
Peterson, came from behind in
the third stanza and with its
usual relentless force whirled to
a 79 to 68 non-league triumph.
The win coupled with a 67
to 62 trfmming handed the Pir
ates on Friday gave Medford
its 14th straight win and a
standing of 15 victories against
a single loss as it turned its at
tention back on the second half
of Southern Oregon conference
competition.
Led at Quarter
Medford, somewhat listless in
the first half and starting out
with a zone defense instead of
its usual man-to-man, headed
18 to 17 at the end of the first
quarter. Then,' Marshfield, with
a tight screening offense which
troubled the Tornado when it
went back to man-to-man, edged
to a 35 to 31 halfway lead.
In the third quarter Medford
closed the deficit to 39 to 40.
Then tall Glenn Peterson plunk
ed in a lay-in to put the Tor
nado on top 41 to 40. Marsh
field, roughest club under the
backboards Medford 'has . met
this year knotted up the count at
54 all. But the Tornado, begin
ning to click like the power it is
while the Pirates seemed to tire
to the pace, fought on top 58
to 54 by the end of the period
and in the fourth canto built up
a comfortable 72 to 57 margin.
Drive Through
Final portion of the .fracas
found the Medford tempo and
pressure enabling it to drive
through before the Marshfield
defense could get set. That gave
the Tornado a lot of good shots
Sure-shooting Copple, the
Medford scoring leader, and
Kastner had their best point
getting night of the year Satur
day. Copple, who paced the fi
nal quarter scoring assault with
12 counters, had 28 for the
evening. Kastner, his jump shot
effective, frequently - at long
range, had 2 points for the
evening. Rector, impressing
Coos; Bay fans with his hustle
and .drive all night, had 17 tal
lies. I - " .'
againsi uie no. i team in me
state, was paced in scoring by
Ted Fischer with1 21, Sandy Fra
ser with 15 and Roger Johnson
with 13. ,
Pirates At Best
Medford's fired up pace In
the final portion of the fray
helped it to a .454 scoring av
erage from the field with 30
out of 66 shots for the night.
Tornado figures gave Medford
the rebound ege 28 to 20 de
spite, the rugged rivalry under
the boards and Peterson and
Kalapus were big factors.
It was to Medford's credit
that it beat a Pirate crew play
ing its best series of the year.
That's what head man Bruce
Hoff ine and Pete Susick of the
Marshfield coaching staff re
ported. Aggressive play mark
ed both games, officiating in
the bay area apparently allow
ing a greater degree of rough
ness. Coach Frank Roelandt said
that the Tornada would take it
rather easy today. It . plays
Grants Pass there Friday and
here Saturday in conference ac
tion.

Crater's steadier, surer and
sharpshooting Comets smashed
the uphill surge of Eagle Point
high Saturday night while Phoe

completing' a series sweep .over

The Comets, winning with sur

Crater victory came on the
heels of a Friday night loss. The
Eagles on Saturday just didn't
have the drive, zip and fine edge
that carried them to a 50 to 44
triumph over the Comets the
night before. Phoenix added its
Saturday success , to a 62 to 5d

and thereby remained tied with
Crater for lead of the circuit.

No information was available

Littler, leading money winner
for 1955, won a narrow one
stroke triumph Sunday over
Johnny Palmer, Charlotte, N.C.,
and Billy Maxwell, Odessa,. Tex.
with a 72-hole score of 275, five
under par.
Palmer and Jay Hebert, Wood
mere, N.Y., entered "the final
round of play tied with Littler
at 204. But the Los Angeles
Open champ came on to sink a
crucial two-foot putt on the 18th
hole before a gallery of 6,000
that provided him with top tour
nament money.
Could Have Tied
Palmer could have tied for th
lead with a 70-foot putt from
the edge of. the green on 18, but
the ball was three feet short.
Maxwell, who was National
Amateur champ in 1915, narrow
ly missed a first-place tie with
Littler when he also had a
chance for an eagle on the last
hole. But his try from about 80
feet out was short of the cup
and he too settled for a birdie.
Ed '(Porky) Oliver, Lemont,
HI., who trailed only two strokes
after 54 holes, : was four over
