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.

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.

which hacked a 29 to 19 Port
land spread to 37 to 35. SOC
cooled in the second portion but
the Vikes rambled on, hitting
from all angles and spots.

Crater high's Comets, collid
ing in their third close, tense
struggle of the season with Phoe
nix, slipped by the Pirates 51 to
45 at Central Point Friday night
to sew up the Rogue League
basketball banner.
The victory, accomplished in
the final stirring moments of the
scramble and with tall Jim Hig
inbotham in the starring role,
put the Comets two games ahead
of second place Phoenix. That
put Crater out of reach of the
Pirates in last night's scrape at
Phoenix which ended the league
schedules of both schools.
In another Rogue wrapper
upper Eagle Point bounced Illin
ois Valley 48 to 35 at Cave
Junction.
Wild Guess
Crater wili go into next week
end's Little Six subdistrict play
off, perhaps, a slim favorite,
based on its" Rogue League
laurels. But results in the cir
cuit Friday indicated that only
a wild guess can be made con
cerning the outcome of that
tourney.
It was a clean, close skirmish
all the way at Central Point.
The final six-point margin was
the widest separating the two ag
gregations. There were a number
of tie scorers and lead changes
in the joust. Phoenix had some
three point edges : and Crater
once had a four-point lead.
Phoenix was in; front 36 to
35 going into the last quarter
and had ' a 42 ito 39 command
with about four minUtes left to
pjay. Crater fought ahead 43
to, 42. But Charles Wall put in a
free shot for the Pirates to knot
the mix and Bill .Madden scored
a goai for 45 to 43 Phoenix
margin. : ' -r
Gives Comets Lead ,
With a bit over a minute left
to play Higinbotham scored from
the field for Crater, then in the
final minute he came through
again for, 47 to 45 Comet ad
vantage. Fred Hogue got two
free shots for a 49 to 45 count
