Comets Fail
Second Time
To Tornado
District 4A championship hon
ors being celebrated today had
Medford high school in a festive
mood but the mighty Black Tor
nado still was seriously looking
ahead to greater glory and a
greater challenge to cap off one
of the finest basketball seasons
in the history of the school.
Medford, the favorite in the
area throughout the year,
tucked away the district bunting
here Saturday night with a 77
to 43 triumph over Crater high
of Central Point. The victory,
second straight in a play-off
with the small schopl subdistrict
champions, sends Medford in
into the Class A prep tourna
ment at Eugene opening March
15.
There are a number of prep
conflicts to be played between
now and the tourney opening.
But the Black Tornado, rated
No. 1 in two Oregon press polls
for many weeks, will undoubted
ly carry that reputation and bur
den into the tournament where
some of the keenest, toughest
rivalry of the whole year is an
ticipated. Medford has 23 vic
tories, 22 straight, in 24 games.
Eeelandl Rides
Enthusiastic but taunting
chants of "Medford's going to
State" swept up from the Tor
nado cheering section Saturday
right in the fourth quarter as
another cheering section Sat
urday night in the fourth quar
ter as another win over Crater
seemed certain. And, when the
final buzzer sounded and well-
wishers and players surged onto
the floor, the jubilant Medford
jtes gave their coach, Frank
Roelandt, the traditional ride to
the dressing room on their
shoulders.
The Saturday Tornado vic
tory followed much the same
pattern as the Friday night 96
to 49 win over the Comets at
Central Point. Crater was, how
ever, more stubborn and scrap
py, particularly in the early
portion of the game.
Medford came through again
with torrid shooting, averaging
.508 for the night while Crater,
cold as well as being unable to
penetrate Tornado defense much
of the time, shot a frigid .192.
Rebound control also went to
Medford, two to one. The Tor
nado advantages was 47 to 28
and it was combination of hot
ter hitting, board control and
smoother, sharper, more aggres
sive playing that won a gain for
Medford. The Comets got only
10 field gcals in the game, only
one each in the first and second
quarters and two in the third.
Rector, CoFple Hit
The Southern Oregon Confer
ence Big Four titlist never
trailed on Saturday but didn't
get a field goal, itself until the
fray was 3Vi minutes old. Then
the incomparable guard com
bination of Larry Copple and
Frank Rector began swishing
'em and Medford had a 14 to 7
margin at the quarter.
Rector got seven field goals,
Copple six and Kalapus three
to spur Medford to a 36 to 18
halfway lead. Fred Hogue got
the only fielders for the Comets
in the half.
In the third quarter with
Glenn Peterson, Kalapus, Cop
ple and Rector all aiding, the
Tornado ran up 16 points while
Crater went scoreless for four
minutes and pushed its advant
age to 52 to 18. Medford picked
p four more points during the
period and Crater managed eight
for a 56 to 26 count.
Roelandt began feeding re
serves into the inix in the third
quarter and they played almost
the last period as a unit. The
Medford margin slipped once
to 25 points at 64 and 39. But
Eob Tisdel, Ed McCuUough,
John Foust, Bill Cochran, Ed
Reinking and Warren Deakins
got in on the scoring for the
final 34-point bulge.
Kalapus on Boards
Medford made 32 out of 63
field tries and Crater 10 out of
52. Crater made 23 points on
free shots with Bob Gray getting
eight, Harvey Tonn seven and
Vern Parent five.
Kalapus was in his usual role
as top Medford rebounder with
10. Bud Kastner picked off
seven, as did Foust.
Copple was high gunner with
18 tallies, Rector got 16 and
Kalapus 12. Gray headed Crater
with 10.
Medford players were to rest
today. They may or may not
have a workout luesaay. ii mey
do, it will be light. Heavier
drills will resume weanesaay.

Malin Wrests 5B Basketball
Flag From Talent Bulldogs
Klamath Falls Malin high
annexed the District 5B basket
ball championship and a state
tournament bid Saturday night
by nicking the Talent Bulldogs
44 to 40 in overtime here for its
second consecutive win in a two-cut-of
three title series.
It was another heartbreaker
loss for Talent, Jackson county
champ and 1954 district winner.
Malin tipped Talent 49 to 47 on
Friday here after the Bulldogs
had lead most of the way.
Saturday night's struggle was
a thriller .throughout and close
almost all the way. The Klamath
and Jackson county subdistrict
victors were knotted 12-all at
the quarter and 21-all at the half.
Malin held a 31 to 29 margin
after three cantos but at the end
of their regular playing time the
quints were locked at 38-all.
The Mustangs worked to a 35
to 31 advantage in the final
quarter but Talent fought on
top 36 to 35. Malin regained
front spot at 37 to 36 but the
Bulldogs climbed ahead again
33 to 37. With 30 seconds left
in the fourth stanza Norm Oliva
made one of two free heaves to
tie up the tangle.
Oliva, Dokken Tally
In the overtime Ray Johnson
got a fielder for Malin and J.
Lloyd Wood two free shots for
the Bulldogs. Oliva scored a lay
in for a 42 to 40 Mustang count
with half a minute to go. Roger
Bend Team
Accepted by
SO League
Bend was admitted as seventh
team in the Southern Oregon
Baseball League and a 24-game
loop slate was adopted Sunday
in a meeting at Roseburg.
Opening series will be on .May
28 and 29 and the season will
close with games on August 27
and 28.
Other clubs in the circuit are
the Medford Cheriey Studs,
Brookings Beavers, Drain Black
Sox, Coquille Loggers, Grants
Pass Cavemen, and Bandon.
Loop officials expressed
strong desire for entry of Rose
burg in the circuit but no com
munity interest or support in a
club there was indicated at the
meeting. Although the session
was held at the Roseburg city
hall, only one resident of that
community attended.
The league season will span
14 weeks. Each team will face
each other one four times, twice
each at home. No dates were
left for making up rained out
games. Directors voted, how
ever, that such contests should
be played on or before Labor
Day week end if they have any
eiiect on the final standings of
the league.
Matters of speeding up games,
securing competent umpires and
arranging news coverage and
publicity were discussed.
Making the trip from here
were Don Faber, Central Point,
president of the league, Bill Ask
with, Central Point, business
manager of the Studs, and Dick
Jewtet, sports editor of the Mail
Tribune.
Faber has suggested that men
interested in umpiring in the
SOL should contact him.

21st Tussle
Completing a 22-game season
with its 21st victory, the Med
ford high junior, varsity basket
ball crew defeated Crater 56 to
47 here Saturday night.
The Medfordites won more
easily than on Friday, when they
sneaked by 53 to 51, but the
Comets did threaten in the final
stanza, slimming the Medford
margin to seven points on a
couple of occasions.
A wide lead in the early por
tion of the fray was a big rea
son for Medford victory. The
junior Tornado headed 9 to 3 at
the quarter and 24 to 9 at the
half. Its third quarter spread
was 13 points, 40 to 27.
Don Goyette, Crater, was high

lone Eugene entry won, and
Eureka boxers failed to get a
decision in three matches.
Larry Lewis Scores KO
While it would be difficult to
pin-point any particular bout as
the standout of the evening,
probably the action which
brought the greatest shouts and
screams from the fans was Larry
Levis' second round knockout
over Lane Lowden, Eureka. The
little Medford dynamiter caught
Lowden in a -corner in the sec
ond stanza, trapped him there
for keeps, and kept flailing
away until his opponent slump
ed to the mat. Lowden was
stretched full length on the can
vas -and didn't move until his
handlers dragged him to his cor
ner. He probably would have
gone down sooner had Lewis'
quit punching long enough to let
him fall. Time was 1:52
Jackie Puscas, Eugene, North
west AAU welterweight cham
pion, wasn't too impressive in
gaining a unanimous decision
over Tucker Spot, Eureka. Spot
was content to get in a corner
and wait for Puscas to come to
him. He protected his head pret
ty good but took a sound pound
ing to the body. Puscas' best
licks failed to wipe the smile
from Spot's face although body
punching slowed him to a walk
early in the second round.
Outstanding Exhibition
Opponents for Denny Moyer,
Portland, Northwest light-welterweight
champion, and Tom
my Thomas, Portland Air Base,
middleweight king, failed to ap
pear so Moyer and Thomas went
three rounds in an exhibition
match. While they obviously
were "pulling" their punches,
the fans "oohed and awed"
throughout the bout at the
cleverness, weaving, slipping
and all-around outstanding box
ing skill dipslayed by each boy.
Aubrey Henderson, Portland
Air Base, didn t do much punch
ing but when he did open up
Dan Tuggle, Medford, was
knocked out in 1:15 of the first
round. Tuggle was dumped on
his pants for a nine count from
a flurry to the head and was
dropped again with a straight
left to the head. Referee. Don
Cain of the Oregon State Police
didn't even bother to count.
Loren Christean, Medford, ran
out of gas in the second round
and took quite a beating from
Harvey Rice, Portland Air Base
during the last round but man
aged to go the distance although
losing a unanimous decisiori.
Wright's Decision Booed 1
Billy Wright, Medford, drew
to boos of the crowd when he
won a split decision from Wayne
Miller, Portland. While Wright
did most of the chasing, Miller
seemed to be landing the heavy
artillery but Wright apparently
was the most impressive
Maxie Green, Eureka, showed
a lot of class when more than
arm's length from Burt Singer,
Portland, in the finale but didn't
like to get hit well enough to
stand up and take it. Green was
in bad shape at the end of the
final round from body punching
and lost a unanimous decision.
Bobby Lyons, Medford, 'Ore
gon AAU flyweight champion,
lost on a technical knockout to
Dawson Carlisle, Portland Air
Base, in the first round. Referee
Cain stopped the match, which
promised to be a duly, when
Lyons suffered a scalp cut.
Jimmy Evans, Medford, got
off to a slow start but picked up
enough steam to outpoint Larry
Snodgrass, Portland, on a split
decision.
Bobby Little, Medford, threw
lots of leather to gain a split nod
over Mike Ames, Portland. A
good third round piled up
enough points for Little to
squeeze .out the verdict.
Don Wolfe, Portland, won a
unanimous decision over his sta
blemate, Larry Nord, in a lively
bout which, opened the card.
Bahler Fires
Record High
Rifle Score
Adrian A. Bahler, a teen-age
shooter from Coos Bay, Oregon
won "over a field of 59 competit
ors in the 1955 National Rifle
association indoor sectional rifle
tourney held by the Medford
rifle and Pistol club Saturday
and Sunday.
Bahler's score of 785 out of a
possible 800 was the highest ever
to be fired here in a sectional
tournament. He also won the in
dividual matches in kneeling and
standing and was top master in
the sitting match.
Virgil Hamlin, Oregon State
college and Haril Newton, Cor
vallis", both only two points be
hind Bahler, were in "the second
and third spots with 783. Ham
lin's standing score of 188 over
Newton's 186 broke the tie.
The Oregon State college
Master team held a wide lead
over the other 10 teams with
1553. Members of the team were
Hamlin, Newton, James Rice and
Tom Ebner.

' Torrid shooting earned Martin

who won the championship in
two previous seasons as Every

in the first half and about the
same in the second.
Quarter counts all favored
Martin's 10 to 15, 39 to 28 and
60 to 43. Johnny Foster, Yellow
Cab, was high scorer with 20
points. Barney .Holland had 14
for the Eugene Club.
