Mdford ...-. .......... 9 0 Klamath Falls - 5 4 Grants Past 3 6 Ashland . 1 8 Pet. 1.000 .536 .".333 .111 Medford's soaring, : churning Black Tornado and the coopera tive Grants Pass Cavemen com bined Friday night to make the rest of : the - Southern Oregon Conference Big Four basketball slate strictly anti-climactic. The Big Gale of Medf ord flies the championship , pennant for the second time in three years. Medford's sizzling cagers can help themselves. They've proved that time and again this season But they're always willing, if a rival school wants to provide assistance. And Friday night they could say, "Thank you Grants Pass." While Medford was crushing the Ashland Grizzlies 84 to 45 at Ashland, the Cavemen were spoiling the last hopes of Klam ath Falls in the circuit chase, 54 to, 47. The Tornado win was its ninth straight against no losses and the Pelicans, riding in sec ond spot, suffered their fourth defeat. With only three games left in conference competition, they were left with no chance to catch the classy Medford crew. G P Hard Put The Tornado now will . play the winner of the Little Six sub district tourney for the right to enter the state tournament at Eu gent next month. . Medford won with ease over Ashland once it got warmed up but Grants Pass had a rougher time in disposing of the Peli cans. The Pels had a first canto edge of 11 to -9 at Grants Pass but the Cavemen were in front 28 to 24 and 40 to 36 at the other Intermissions. Score was tied eight times during the evening, Including four times in the third quarter and once in the fourth. . At Ashland the Tornado run ning attack, which has sputtered recently, worked its best in seve ral weeks. Medford's hustling, zooming fast break offense and slick passing again earned it . a lot of close in shots opportunities and the Tornado took advantage for a hot .515. average in field goals. Peterson Shines Ballhawking defense gave the Tornado many of its fast break ing opportunities. Larry Copple, Frank Rector and Bud Kastner showed their, usual ball swiping and handling adeptness. And; when Copple and Rector ..went to the sidelines with - a heavy burden of fouls, reserves got a chance to really display their wares. Jerry Kalapus as usual was the No. 1 Medford ace under the boards.. But the Medford eager who really blossomed was Glenn Pe terson who made fine moves, handled himself with . sureness under the boards and was high scoring player with 22 in prob ably his best game of the. year. Rector with three infractions sat out 45 seconds of the. first quarter and all of the second and Copple with four fouls re tired for 6V minutes of the sec ond panel. The reserves who got to show their wares through this stage and performed admirably were Dick McLaughlin, Ed Mc Cullough and Lloyd Cearley. McLaughlin Scores McLaughlin, only sophomore WHO IS THIS WELL KNOWN SPORTS FIGURE APPEARING ON BARKER'S TELE VISION PROGRAM THIS COMING WEDNESDAY NIGHT? f w C :A J: - . currently on the varsity, played about half the game and respond ed with his best performance. He tallied his first field goals three of them so far this season and was rugged under the boards, getting hands on the ball often although not credited with a huge total of rebounds. Coach Frank Roelandt had four of his Medford reserves in at the beginning of the last quarr ter and the line-up was all re serves the last four minutes. The Grizzlies pestered slightly but did not seriously threaten af ter Medford gained a 24 to 14 first quarter lead. The Tornado extended to 42 to 24 by halftime and 70 to 39 by the third rest period. Hard Work at First Medford found rough going against a tough spirited Ashland defense as it worked to estab lish control in the early minutes. Gene Parent of the Grizzlies got the first bucket of the fra cas, shooting from 'behind the keyhole. Kastner drove in to even the scrape for Medford but Harry Johnson put Ashland a head with two gifters. Peterson retaliated with a close range goal for Medford but Parent got a couple of free ones. L. Big Pete then got a pair and Kalapus plopped in a basket for an 8 to 6 Medford count after 2 3i minutes of play. The Tor nado stayed on top from there. Kalapus, Copple and Pete com bined to stretch the margin to 16 to 6. Parent and Johnson pull ed the Grizzlies up to 16 to 12 but Peterson, who had 12 points in the initial stanza, got togeth er with Copple and Rector for 24 to 12. Ashland never got closer than 10 points in the second quarter. The Grizzlies contended for. a bit on even terms but Medford final ly broke away. Widest Medford gap in the third quarter was 33 points, 68 to 35. Final 39 point difference was the biggest of the night and the Tornado's third widest margin of the season. Medford outrebounded Ash land 35 to 20 with Kalapus re-, trieving 12 and Peterson and McLaughlin each six. The Tor nado . made 33 out of 64 field goals tries and hit 18 out of ,27 for .667 for the free stripe Pe terson got six field goals and 10 free shots for his 22 markers. Copple combined six from the field and six from charity lane for 18. .... . Johnson was the top scorer for Ashland with 15.
