Hitting their shots effectively from far out as well as at close range, the Comets built up a wide margin in the first half and maintained it with fluctuating spreads throughout the second half to trim Eagle Point 70 to 53 in the finals of the Little Six tournament here. Adding the triumph to their Rogue League title banner, the Crater cagers won the riht to oppose Medford, Big Four pen nant winner for the overall dis- Eaglo Point Champion Crater high and runner-up Eagle Point dominaied the all-iiar selections made by coaches of schools participat ing in the District 4A Little Six division basketball tourna ment here.

Henley cap- lnifA TlotA rili a O rk ??9 decision over Brookings. The Phoenix Pirates scuttled Illinois Valley 62 to 25 for the consola tion honors. In the championship engage ment Crater, sparked by the shooting and backboard work of Jim Higinbotham and Bob Gray, the accurate firing of Harvey Tonn and the floor play of Vern Parent,, got the first basket when the game was 25 seconds old. They never trailed nor were they tied during the eve ning. And in the first half, par ticularly, they had a sharper edge than did the Eagles, who were playing their third game in three nights. Eagle Point licked Phoenix on Thursday and Henley on Fri day to gain the finale. Crater drew a Thursday by and polished off Brookings on Friday. Every member of the Comet quint contributed points as it surged to an 18 to 8 lead in the first quarter. Crater outscored Eagle Point again in the second period, 19 to 11, for a 37 to 19 midway command. Tonn, con necting on three long shots and two fast breaks and scoring two free shots, spurred the Crater offense in the half with 12 points. Higinbotham contributed eight counters. Bill Caldwell got eight for the Eagles. Eagle Point kept more even pace in the second half. Comet lead fluctuated between 16 and 23 points in the third quarter and Crater wound up that part of the scrape with a 20-point margin at 55 to 35. Scoring edge of the Central Pointer crew was 18 to 16. The 23-point advantages were at 47 to 24 and 52 to 29. The Eagles fought to within 16 points of the. Comets at 39 to 55 in the fourth panel but Crater collected eight points be fore EP could score again and picked up a 24-point, 63 . to 39 spread. Eagle Point then cut the margin to 68 to 47 and with 1 3A minutes to play, Crater Coach Leonard Warren sent m an entire team of reserves. It was the first time he had sub stituted during the game. 18 to 15 EP Edge Jerry Tuttle got a field goal and free shot, and Harvey Nel son and Jerry Eastgate gift tosses for Eagle Point and Har old Lefler of Crater a field bucket at the buzzer to round out the scoring. Eagle Point had an 18 to 15 point-making edge in the final stanza. Higinbotham with 11 points and Bob Gray with 10 topped Crater scoring in the second half. Each got four field goals, Gray on tippins or rebounds and Higinbotham on longies. Frank Reich collected five field ay baskets for the Eagles. - Each club connected for 13 field goals from far out, for two at mid-range. Crater had the edge 10 to five at long distance. Shooting charts kept for both schools varied. The Comets' showed 13 shots made of 31 tried in the first half for a .419 average. Eagle Point's showed eight for 34 in the intial for .235. The Eagles didn't take a lot of shots from far out in that stage of the fray and ability to hit from in close hurt. Crater hit from both in and out. Crater Hits .410 For the game Crater's chart gave 25 for 61, almost .410. Eagle Point listed itself for 20 for 65, which is .308. While the Comets missed 16 free shot tries during the fracas, they also made more points from the foul line than the Eagles, 20 to 13. Rebounding in the scuffle was just about even. Charts again differed. EP's indicated a 45 to 44 edge for its team. Crater's gave 39 to 34 for the Comets. The Eagle statistics listed Crater's Bob Gray as top retriever with 17 boards. Hig inbotham and Caldwell were shown with 15 apiece. Crater's statistics had 14 apiece for Hig inbotham and Gray and did not break down the Eagle total. Gray, only junior on the start ing five and most improved Crater player, was particularly effective under the offensive board with his tip-ins. Coach Warren commented yesterday that Comets .played their best of the year. He said that defense would get concen tration this week in preparation for Medford. The . Comets go into the play-off underdogs but determined to show the Black Tornado and the crowd real ball games. Four Comets had double scor ing figures for the game, Higin botham with 19, Tonn with 17, Gray with 16 and Fred Hogue with 10. Caldwell got 14 and Reich put in 10 pointers for the Eagles. In the tussle for third place, Henley had trouble for just one quarter with Brookings. The Hornets led just 12 to 11 after the .first intermission and pulled away after that. Big husky Hornet Louie Zarosinski was a big cog in the win over the shorty Bruins. Phoenix had no difficulty in wrestling the consolation laurels from Illinois Valley which got only eight field goals in. the game. Ron Vreeken had the height for the Pirates over the Cougars and his 24 points showed it.; Crater first won the small school division honors in 1952. That year it lost in the play off to Klamath Falls and. in 1953 was beaten by . Medford. Last year the Comets came their closest to a state tourney trip, forming Grants Pass to go the full three games before the Cave men nabbed the mantle.

Pet. 0 1.000 6 .500 7 .417 11 .083 Medford Klamath Falls Grants Pass Ashland The Medford high Black Tor nado, a "second nighter quint throughout its 1955 league cam paign, followed the old familiar script again Saturday and with hurricane intensity finished with an unblemished season in the Southern Oregon Conference basketball campaign. Galed up by the high scoring and all-around playing of Larry Copple and whirling away in the second half, the Black Tornado left Klamath Falls in its wake, 76 to 59. The win followed a 55 to 45 decision on Friday. Its 12th straight triumph in the cir cuit gave Medford its first un beaten season in the circuit since 1945. For Medford it also was the 20th straight win and the 21st in the regular 22-game season. The Black Tornado, as in so many games this year, showed the ability to wear down the op position in the second half. Klamath, which led the Tornado at halftime, on Friday was still making a' battle of it on its home floor Saturday when the first half ended. But the Tornado margin widened from there. Copple Gets 34 Copple, the snakish high-scoring Medford guard, swished the net from all angles but mostly from mid and long range to roll up a huge 34 point individual count. He got 12 field goals and 10 free shots. Twenty-four of the tallies came in the first half when they were needed to meet the Pelican challenge. Medford jumped to a 14 to 3 lead in the hassle and had a 20 to 13 quarter advantage. How ever, Klamath caught up at 28 all and then tied twice more, the last time at 34-all. The Tor nado had a 40 to 37 midway rest bulge. In the third chukker the Medfordites widened to 58 to 44. Kalapus joined Medford as big gun in the second half. He had 12 points for the game. Dan Lowe got 18 and Dave D'Olivo 16 for the Pels. On the backboards Medford had control wjth 40 to 29 margin in retrieves. Glenn Peterson and Kalapus each had nine boards, Copple seven and Bud Kastner six. The Tornado, which had a bad night from the field Friday, hitting only five for 23 in the first half and 15 for 45 for .333 average, more than made up for it on Saturday night with 28 out of 53 shooting for real hot .547. Good Job Done While Medford had its trou ble in the first half on Friday night, the boys, according to Coach Frank Roelandt, did "a good job" in the series. Their second half defense on Friday allowed Klamath Falls only one field goal in that time. Medford's jayvees, which had run up a 19-win, no-loss record for the season, tumbled from the unmarred ranks Saturday night. They were 45 to 42 victims of the Pelican junior varsity. Klamath had a 20 to 19 half way spread. They stretched it to six or seven points in the sec ond half. Medford tried to press to overtake the Pells but made a few mistakes and, after that, couldn't catch up. Earle Tichenor racked up 15 points for KF. Eob Tisdel got 11 for Medford.

All of the fireworks except the Kowalski thrashing brought hoots and hollers of satisfaction from the near-capacity crowd gathered to watch Mack Lil lard's weekly wrestling card. It took Gerry Hunter only 20 minutes and 20 seconds to whip Kowalski in the feature match. Miss Hunter, on the short end of the offensive during most of the match, had to virtually turn savage to defeat the wiry and popular red-haired flash from Texas. Thrown From Ring The blonde bombshell threw Kowalski out of the ring, using her hair for leverage, and when Referee Larry Presnell leaned over the ropes to count, Hunter also heaved him out. Both got back in but again Kowalski was tossed out, this time hurting her back. Presnell counted the nec essary 20 before Kowalski was able to move and the fall went to Hunter. Time was nine min utes and 40 seconds. . The last fall was won by Hunter on default when Miss Kowalski was unable to con tinue, much to the displeasure of the near-capacity Kowalski partisan crowd. When the bell sounded Kowalski tried to come out 'but fell on her' face near mid-ring and Presnell stopped it. Miss Kowalski had taken the first fall in 10:40 with an au plane' spin and body press while the crowd cheered .wildly. Harold (Buck) Davidson found Walch, Eckel, State Mat Tourney Berths Les Walch, Paul Eckel and Bill Dyer will represent Med' OSC Romps Over Oregon Ducks 68-58 Eugene (U.R) A record crowd of 10,952 fans jammed McArthur court here Saturday night to watch the league-leading Oregon State Beavers romp to a 68-58 basketball victory over the second place Univer sity of Oregon Ducks. The Ducks opened the first half with a slight lead, then went without a field goal, for six minutes and the half ended 37-28. In the second half, the Ducks went without a field goal for the first six minutes. And the Beav er? ran up a 25-point lead, 60 35, with 10 minutes gone in the half. Wins Score Race .

Yoggi Hussane tougher than he expected and had to settle for a draw. Davidson kept Hussane too busy most of the time for the big Turk to use much of his rough stuff but Hussane copped the first fall in 17:30 with a surf board. Davidson evened the count 13 minutes and 45 seconds later with a back body drop. Twice during the match David son missed Hussane with flying shoulder butts but each one caught Referee Presnell, both knocking him out for a few seconds. When the match was over Hussane wanted more and threw Presnell out of the ring. He caught a Davidson flying shoul der butt and was left alone to rant and roar, which he did for several minutes. Joe Hahn gained his second victory on a foul in as many weeks when he, beat Johnny Dobbs, the crowd-baiting Omaha meanie, in the opener. Dobbs took the. first fall in 17:10 with neck twisters and a press and Hahn evened it six minutes and 40 seconds later with a half crab. When they were going after the third fall Dobbs threw Hahn out of the ring and wouldn't let him get back. With Hahn on the apron outside the ring, Dobbs applied a headlock and failed to break when Presnell counted five so the referee gave it to Hahn, Dobbs stormed around and chal lenged practically everyone in sight but it didn't do any good. ' Promoter Mack ' Lillard an nounced that the next card will be held on March 19 when one of the country's outstanding feminine grapplers will be signed,, probably to meet Miss Hunter. - Dyer Gain ford high in the state wrestling tournament at Corvallis start ing next Friday.
