MedfordWTribune IPdDimTrS law" f JT POWERHOUSE Stan (The Man) Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals shows strain of power he exerts as he prepares to meet the ball during spring training session at St. Petersburg, Fla. Black Tornado Field Goal Mark .443 for 24 Games Terrific shooting from the field That factor has been one of the major reasons for Medford high school basketball success this season in the march through December tune-ups, the Southern Oregon Conference slate and the district play-offs to a berth in the Class A state tournament. Tabulations show the Black Tornado with a torrid .443 field goaling average for its 24-game campaign leading up to the Ore gon prep classic. Medford has poured in 615 field goals in 1387 shots at the hoop. Net scorching performances of .534 and .508 from the field against Crater high gave a boost to the Tornado average. Hitting also at better than .600 from the foul line, the Med fordites have collected 405 points on free throws for a sea son aggregate of 1638 counters. That's an average of 67.9 per game in building a record of 23 victories against one loss. Foe Average 46.66 While riding high offensively during most of the season, the Black Tornado has managed also to keep opposition scoring ef forts down and has outpointed rivals at better than 21 points per game. Adversaries have amassed 1120 tallies, averaging 46.66 per conflict. Thirty-five point production last week end against the Crater Comets enabled Larry Copple to bolster his status as Medford's coring leader. Sure-shooting Larry is still top man in total points, 427, per game average, 17.79, and field goals scored, 175. He's also second high "in free heaves, 77. Frank Rector, Copple's guard mate, follows in total scoring, 314, and in average per game, 13.08. Jerry Kalapus is free shot INDIVIDUAL RECORDS: leader with 99 and third high in total points with 305. His aver age is 12.71. Medford's exact free shot average is not available for lack of the shots attempted figure in one of the Klamath Falls games. However, total tries have been 650 more less. "Review and polish" has been the theme of the Black Tornado this week as it turned for its state tournament opener at Eu gene next Wednesday night against Franklin high of Port land. Coach Frank Roelandt said this aggregation has gone back over fundamentals, has sought to smooth rough spots and has aimed at offensive finesse. The Tornado had a rest last Monday and a light drill Tues day and after that buckled down to hard work. Another stiff workout was set for this after noon. Whether the club will drill tomorrow depends on how to day's practice wen,t. Practice is set for Monday and the squad will depart Tuesday morning for Eugene. - Franklin high is Coach Roe landt's alma mater. The Quak ers have been improving right along through the year and re portedly played their best of the year when they overcame Grant in the play-off for Port land's second berth in the state tourney. " Medford in facing the Quak ers will be up against more height than it has faced all sea son. Topping the Franklin list is Bjarne Jensen, 6-9 sophomore. Two starting Quakers reported ly are 6-4 and anothers is 6-2. One starter is 5-11. Franklin tied for second in the Portland Interscholastic League then beat both Jefferson and Grant in play-oofs.

BOTH GAMES YOUR MAIL TRIBUNE STATION Game Men Talk Lake O' Woods Rehabilitation Corvallis U.R) The Oregon State Game commission was to consider a lake rehabilitation program for 1955 when it met here tomorrow for its annual meeting on the Oregon State college campus. The program proposed by the commission's fisheries staff takes in Lake of the Woods in south ern Oregon, Tenmile lake on the southern Oregon coast and Devils lake on the central Ore- eon coast. The Droblem in all three lakes is the rapid growth of trash fish and the crowding out of trout and other forms of game fish popular with the state s anglers. Lake of the Woods in the Cas cades between Medford and Klamath Falls is a mountain trout lake which has been stock ed with yellow perch, carp and ratfish. The commission said partial control efforts have fail ed to hold these fish in check.

By HOWARD APPLEGATE United Press Sports Writer Corvallis, Ore. (U.R) Utah's powerful basketball team battles tonight to end a two-year jinx when the Skyline eight cham pions meet . top-ranked USF in the second round of western re gional eliminations for the NCAA tournament. Eighth-ranked Oregon State is scheduled to play Seattle Uni versity in the first game of the night with the winners colliding Saturday for a trip to next week's semi-finals in Kansas City. Coach Jack Gardner of Utah said he probably will assign 6 foot 8-inch guard Gary Bergen on the job of stopping the Dons' mighty 6-foot 10-inch Bill Rus sell while 6-foot 3-inch Art Bunte goes for the baskets. Eliminated Quickly Skyline champions have been eliminated quickly in the past two years with Wyoming getting beaten twice here in 1953 and Colorado A&M taking a double trimming last winter. Coach Phil Woolpert, the United Press Coach of the Year, warned his five not to overlook the Utes but the stage already is being set for a Saturday night clash between Oregon State and the Dons, who have won 22 straight. Coach Slats Gill's Beavers, with 7-foot, 3-inch Wade (Swede) Halbrook in command, are a heavy favorite to sweep unrank ed Seattle out of the way while USF is disposing of Utah. That would realize the dream clash between Halbrook and 6-foot, 10-inch Russell. The OSC-Seattle clash is at 7:30 p.m., followed by the Utah San Francisco game about 9:30 p.m. Friday, March II, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN1 Yankees Expect Trouble on Track Mexico' City U.P.)

"But the competition is going to be very rugged on the track. This especially refers to the dis tance events."
