GP Proves Tough Foe, Leads at Halt SOUTHERN OREGON CONFERENCE STANDINGS W. L. Pet. Medford - 7 0 1.000 Klamath Falls - 4 3 .571 Grants Pass 2 5 J286 Ashland 16 .143 Those fans who'e been yap ping that Medford high's South ern Oregon Conference basket ball victories have been too one sided and that the tussles should be closer to make the games more interesting brother, they had it Friday night. For the Grants Pass Cavemen, the quintet over which Medford rambled in its most decisive win of the year, came close to hand ing the mighty Black Tornado its first league setback of the season. There was a chill in the Big Breeze when it blew into Grants Pass Friday. It ran into a hust ling, ballhawking Caveman gang fired high by. a betting gimmick and by its own desire to dump Oregon's No. 1 prep team before a shouting, scream ing, whoop It up hometown crowd. Only a strong third quarter scoring comeback and tight sec ond half "inside" defense en abled the Tornado finally to fight into the lead, keep it, puff to a 51 to 44 margin over the Cavemen and run the Medford unbeaten string in the loop to seven straight games. Klamath Victor The close call, which saw Medford the most off stride it has been this year, kept the three-game conference lead over Klamath Falls which pounded Ashland 73 to 35 at Klamath. The Cavemen, who were to help transport a pair of physical education teachers in a "par ade" today if they didn't win one game of the week-end ser ies, were "on the ball" during the evening. They hurried and harried the Tornado throughout while the Medfordites were off form in their ball moving, and during the first half, were cold in shooting and not up to capa bility on defense. Medford trailed the Cavemen through the entire first half. Grants Pass boasted nine point leads once in the first and twice in the second quarter. Then the Tornado fought on top in the third canto, got nine point bulges, twice, then saw the ad vantage almost fade away, largely through the long range shooting of Grants Pass re serve Allen Drews. The Medfordites, with three field goals and four free shots, outfired the Cavemen 10 to 4 in the last four' minutes of the evening to preserve a victory. Lagged at Half Going into the second half, Medford lagged 22 to 26. Larry Copple got. a pair of free shots as the third quarter opened. And Glenn Peterson deadlocked the score at 26-all with a jumper in close the only tie of the con test with IV2 minutes played. Three minutes into the period Frank Rector canned a shot from the side with an assist from Jerry Kalapus and Med ford was in front. Peterson got a free heave and Copple a bucket on a lay-in off a jump ball. That made it 31 to 26. With 4Vfe minutes of the can to gone, Raleigh Burr got the Cavemen's first goal of the quar ter. Johnny Foust, Peterson and Rector all hit from the field for a score of 37 to 28. To close out the panel Jerry Kalapus hit a jumper close for Medford while Don James sank a longie and Mel Drews a char ity bucket for a 39 to 31 stand ing. Allen Drews Deadly While there was a ll$-minute drouth in Tornado scoring in the fourth quarter, the Cave men got their offensive weave going. Grants Pass couldn't pen etrate the Medford defense to hit the hoop from in close. But Allen Drews flipped in two shots from long range and Burr got two free tries. That hack ed the standing to 39 to 37. Kalapus then put in two from the free line but Drews con nected for another long one and Burr connected once from the free alley. The score was a skimpy 41 to 40. . Rector put in a jump shot from the side and Peterson and Copple free tosses for 45 to 40. Pesky Drews flashed from afar once more for 45 to 42.. Rector popped in a free shot then a field goal on a fast break after a swipe by Kastner for 49 to 42. Reid got two free heaves as Kastner fouled out with VA min utes to play. In. the final sec onds Rector, after a neat swipe on a GP out of bounds play, boomed in to lay in the final Medford goal. Cavemen Start Strong Grants Pass picked up six points in the game before Med ford could swish the hemp. They had a 9 to 2 margin and anoth er of 13 to 4. Count at the quar ter end was 13 to 0. The Tor nado "made it 13 to 10 as the next period started but GP wid ened to 21 to 12 and 23 to 14. Copple got two free tosses and Kalapus goaled off a fast break. r LA Rams Draft Jones, USF Basketeer; College Does Not Even Play Football San Francisco (U.R) 'Wav down at the bottom of the draft list for the Los Angeles Rams this year is this notation: "30th round K. C. Jones, University of San Francisco, end." . That would be the same K. C. Jones who currently is starring for the nation's No. 1 college basketball team, the USF Dons. University of San Francisco hasn't played college football for four years, so that gives you an inkling of just how deep the scouting systems of the profes sional football teams go. Jones was a star football player for Commerce High in San Francisco, winning all-city honors in 1951. That fall he en rolled at USF where he hoped to play both the gridiron sport and maybe-get in a spot of bas ketball. "USF dropped football," says K. C. now, "and I haven't played any since I left high school. But I Tentative Net Plans For Raiders Outlined Ashland Tentative schedul ing of the Southern Oregon col lege tennis team has been an nounced by Coach Alva (Skip) Graham. Overnight trips are scheduled to Portland where SOC will play Portland State and Oregon College of Educa tion, to Chico State, Humboldt State and Shasta . college in California. Already working out are let termen Jim and John Stuckey, Ashland; Noel Deets, Ashland; and Chuck Flummer, Roseburg. Also out is Worlow Purdin, Ashland, Dr. Graham said. Allen Drews got a gifter and Copple came back with two for a 24 to 20 standing. Kalapus took a feed from Rec tor for a lay-in to narrow the Medford deficit to 22 to 24. But James, wide open, hit from the side for the 26 to 22 midway situation. Despite the poor first half av erage from the field Medford wound up with 18 out of 44 tries for a .409 average. The Tornado made only four out of 18 attempts in the first quarter for .222 and had eight for 29, a .272 mark for the half. Med ford connected on seven of 10 shots in the third chukker and on three for five in the last stanza for 10 out of 15 and a half average of .667. Lost Balls Hurt The Tornado had 38 to 27 rebounding advantage for what is was worth 1 as . frequent lost balls on ftd passes, mishandles and swipes, hampered the at tack. Kalapus collected 15 back boards and Peterson nine for Medford while Mel Drews was the GP tough man under the buckets with 11. He picked up six of GP's first quarter points. ' - Kalapus was high point man for the game with 14 and Rec tor was next with 13. Copple and Peterson each picked up 10. For Grants Pass Burr and Allen Drews got 11 apiece. Copple, the Medford scoring leader for the season was held to a lone field goal but got off only, six attempts. One other bucket ' was nullified when an other Medfordite was fouled. Copple drew some fouls in the act of shooting and made good on eight out of 12 free attempts. He made seven in a row. It was the third win for Med ford over the Cavemen. The others were by 63 to 44 and 86 to 37. BOX: Medford Peterson, f Kastner, t .

"I'm glad the Rams drafted me. I expect to go into the Army after I finish at USF, and maybe I'll get in some football there. Then I would like to give the professional game a whirl before trying pro basketball." At 6 feet, 1 inch and 205 pounds, Jones has the physique to make good as a pro football player. He will be 24 or 25 years old when he . gets out of the Army, so he'll be matured. He is a senior, majoring in history, at USF but has another year of eli gibility left, so probably will be back to play with, the fabulous Bill Russell in the 1955-56 cam paign on the courts. , While Russell is over-shadowing Jones right now, Coach Phil Woolpert of the Dons doesn't un derestimate the value of his top playmaker. The "Play-Maker" "Jones isn't the captain of our team," says Woolpert, "but he MH Jay vees Rally To Tip Grants Pass Medford high junior varsity basketball players, like the var sity, won their third game of the season from Grants Pass at Grants Pass Friday night. And they, too, were hard pressed for the 42 to 39 win. The Junior Tornado, tied with the Cavemen 32-all at the end of the third quarter, slipped behind 32 to 36. And it was a big effort to wipe out the deficit. John Hawley dropped in a field shot and Richard Puhl a free one for Medford for 35 to 36 but fell back 35 to 38 when Brown connected for GP. Dick Copple sank a fielder tor Med ford for 37 to 38. Then Medford went on 39 to 38 top with Mike Steams' rebounder shot, his only goal of the game. Two minutes were left to play. Brown tied up the game from the foul line but Copple found field goal range from the behind the key for 41 to 39, Medford. Hawley added a free throw. Grants Pass caught . up after Medford led 10 to 8 at the quar ter and 20 to 15 at the half. ; Brown got 13 points for Grants Pass while Charles Inskeep put in 12 and Copple 11 for Medford.

DeMarco, Carter Fight to Draw Boston (U.R) "I should have got him," said popular Bos ton welterweight Tony De Mar co after he fought lightweight champion Jimmy Carter of New York to a draw Friday in a 10 round listless bout that bored the second-largest indoor boxing crowd in Boston sports history. "I should have got him, but I couldn't put in the big one," De.. Marco said. "Carter's real tough, but he never hurt me." Neither fighter appeared hurt, another thing which annoyed the 12,163 ' fans who thronged Boston Garden. There were no knockdowns and both Carter, weighing in at 1384 and De Marco, six and a half pounds heavier, preferred to fight at long range. HALL BEATS NEUHAUS Berlin, Germany (U.R) Heinz Neuhaus of Germany, heavy weight champion of .Europe, still planned today to go to the United States in April in spite of his continued bad luck against West ern fighters. Neuhaus was un expectedly held to a 10-round draw Friday night by Henry Hall of New Orleans before 5,000 at the Sport Palast. Hall, a Negro of uncertain age, had lost his three previous bouts.

He is the 'come through guy when we desper ately need a basket to get under way. I can't explain to you how important a man he is on the team." Jones is an average student, no whiz, but still doesn't have any trouble keeping up his grades. There have been instances in the past where football stars have stepped out of high school, junior colleges or the military service into stardom in the pro ranks. If Jones successfully makes the jump to pro ball he will be come another "first," the only man who ever went through four years of college never play ing football, but still picked in the draft.

Johnson Punch Stops Andrews New York (U.R) Brawny Harold Johnson will get another shot at the light heavyweight title within three months be cause he practiced a full week on a "set punch" for contender Paul Andrews and then "let him have it." . Johnson of Philadelphia prom ised today to use on champion Archie Moore the same crushing straight right that knocked out lanky Andrews of. New York at 1:46 of the sixth round of their return bout in Madison Square Garden Friday night. "I crossed up Andrews with that set punch," explained the muscular, well-built Philadelphia Negro, who went into a ring a 2-1 underdog. "He expected me to keep movin and just try to out-box him. He got a little careless. Then I set and threw the right at his chin with every thing I had behind it." The booming r i g h t to An drews lantern jaw sent him fly ing backwards to the canvas.
