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.

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,

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

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

California.
Already working out are let
termen Jim and John Stuckey,

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.

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.

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

There were no knockdowns

WITH MILE VICTORY
New York (U.R) Fred

pulled the biggest upset of the
indoor track season last night
when he out-ran world record
holders Gunnar Nielsen and Wes
Santee to win the Baxter mile
in the meet record time of 4:06.2
in the New York Athletic club
games at Madison Square Gard
en. Dwyer, who had been eating
the record holders' dust in pre
vious meets, won by a half a
lap over Nielsen. Nielsen only
last Saturday had set a new
world indoor standard of 4:03.6
in winning the Wanamaker mile
at the Garden.
The previous week, Santee,
fastest miler in U. S. track his
tory, had lowered the world in
door standard of 4:03.8.
But last night it was Nielsen
and Santee who floundered after
a tremendous early pace. Santee
was a distant third and Lowell
Zellers of Bloomington, Ind.,
was fourth as Dwyer charged
home all alone.
The first quarter was run in
a sizzling 56.6 seconds. Santee
then took charge and brought
the 12,500 fans screaming to
their feet when he hit the half
way mark at 1:59.
But that pace was to Drove
