Comets, turning in their top
performance of the year, claimed
the District 4A small school bas
ketball toga Saturday night for
the fourth consecutive season.
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

Two Other Games
The Crater-Eagle encounter
was one of three tourney hassles
hare last Saturday. Henley cap-

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.

Only Have
Spot Cinched
Portland (U.R) A lot of
action is on tap this week
around the Oregon high school
basketball circuit as the prep
teams go down to the wire in
district tournaments to decide
entries in the state champion
ships. With the Class A tournament
only two weeks away, Cleveland
of Portland is the only team so
far cinched for a tourney berth.
The Indians defeated Benson
last weekend, 68-50, to clinch at
least a tie for the Portland city
championship and assures a state
tournament spot. Games this
week will decide the other Port
land entry.
In District 1-A close competi
tion forced a split into subdis
trict playoffs with Baker and
La Grande meeting in a sudden
death game this week in one
half of the playoffs, and Vale
and Ontario clashing in the other
half.
Tournaments to decide dis
trict winners will open this
week in Districts 6, 7, 12 and 13.
Redmond and Lakeview will
stage a one-game playoff in
District 3-A. In District 4-A
Crater meets Medford's power
ful Black Tornado.

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.

Spectators Provide
Fireworks; Referee,
Kowalski, Clobbered
A couple of feminine specta
tors engaged in a quarrel over
the merits of a couple of the
participants, police were brought
up to quiet them, the referee was
knocked out twice and Ella
Kowalski got clobbered at Mer
rick's arena here Saturday night.
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.

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. -
