er was little in evidence during
the first half here Friday night,
But the Black Tornado swirled
out in the second half to over
come the Klamath Falls Pelicans
55 to 45 and record its 11th tri
umph, against no losses in the
Southern Oregon conference.
Medford's 19th straight vic
tory of the season came hard.
The Tornado lagged 19 to 27 at
halftime then pulled even at
34-all in third quarter and then
burst in front to stay in the
fourth.

chance left for conference title

upset, outhustled and outback
Vinarrtert th Wind from Pear
City m the first half. Medford
ites found their passes often in-
"tercented and they were not up
,-to usual defensive standards.
Dave D'Olivio, the Pels' tallest
man at 6-4, wasn't hitting the
3 hoop for his team well but he
was the power under the boards
in the first half and had help
from Guy Munsell.
Begin to Click
Then in the second portion of
the fracas, Medford's fine floor
working combination of Larry
Copple, Frank Rector and Bud
Kastner began to click and the
Tornado began to climb. It was
the old story of Medford being
a second half ball club and be
coming stronger as the game
progressed.
The Medfordites faltered in
the3 first quarter after holding
a 6-1 edge. Larry Yarnell with
a field goal and free shot and
Danny Lowe with a lay-in en
abled Klamath to catch up at 6
all. Yarnell put in two gifters
and Lowe laid in another goal
' for a 10 to 6 KF count. Rector's
longie made the score 10 to 8
at the quarter.
A rebounder bucket by Jerry
Kalapus put Medford on top
briefly at 13 to 12 in the second
quarter but jumpers Jack Sun
itsch and D'Olivio gave com
mand back to the Pels at 16 to
13. After two free heaves by
Copple and a field goal by Lowe
the score was 18 to 15. Then a
rebounder by Yarnell and a free
toss and two tip-ins by D'Olivio
surged Klamath to a 25 to 15
advantage.
Medford Goes Ahead
Copple and Munsell exchang
ed field buckets and Copple got
two gift points for the halftime
27 to 19 score.
With slightly more than two
minutes left in the third quar
ter Klamath still had a 33 to 28
lead. Kalapus plunked in a re
bound and Kastner two charity
throws and Medford headed 34
to 33. Sunitsch got a free mark-

25 of its counters on free at
tempts and the Pelicans 23.
Copple added up six field
goals and eight free shots for
20 points and high scoring per
formance. Rector got five from
the field and six from the gift
stripe for 16. Eight of Kalapus'
12 point swere on gift throws.
D'Olivio put in 13 points , for
KF best.
A pair of varsity reserves pac
ed the Medford junior varsity

Klamath in the preliminary. Ed
Reinking tallied 18 and Bob
Tisdel 16 for Medford. Earle
Tichenor and Donn Taucher col
lected 13 apiece for KF. Half
time score was 31 to 12 for
Medford.
It was the 19th straight win

Tampa, Fla. (U.R) Major
League spring training gets
underway next Tuesday and the
frustrated ball players and their
legion of fans think it is about
time.
Because cf Commissioner
Ford Frick's edict against any
conditioning prior to March 1,
the training period will be
shorter this year than at any
time since World War II.
The players themselves,
through their club representa
tives, asked for the later re
porting date but it developed
that once it was imposed most
of them didn't - like the idea
after all.
Most of the major league
athletes already are on hand in
Florida and Arizona where they
have been limbering up on the
beaches and golf courses. But
except for officially-sanctioned
rookie camps, there has been no
activity at any time of the spring
I training parks.
