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.

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.
Talent and Phoenix
High Schools Slate
Career Day, Event
Talent The second annual
Talent-Phoenix joint career day
is scheduled Tuesday, April 5,
according to John Loughary and
William Ruck, assistant princi
pals of the schools.

year. High school students were
queried as to their occupational
interests, and qualified local

vocations.
The program is designed to
give students a first-hand oppor
tunity, to talk with people en
gaged in careers in which the
students themselves are inter
ested Program Expanded
Preliminary work has been
going on for several weeks, and
some. 25 local speakers will be
come educators for the after
noon. Each of the 200 students
involved this year will attend
four career meetings, compared
to only three last year. Another
new feature is the inclusion of a
number of the younger high
school students in the program.
The affair will take place in
the , modern new Talent High
school which is to be" completed
within the next two weeks. A
list of participating speakers
and other final arrangements
will be announced in the near
future. .

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.

There's even more to
i
Chevrolet styling
than meets the eye!
This is beauty with a bonus ... for Chevrolet styling
is designed to add safety and comfort while you
drive, and to return greater value when you trade.
Visored headlights
JK Louvered High-Level air intake
Truly modern lines are shaped by usefulness. You can see
what we mean in the deep crystal curve of Chevrolet's Sweep
Sight windshield ... a dramatic style note, certainly, but one
that stems from the need for wider, safer vision. Or take high
set taillights they add to the impressive length of line ...
but they are up there where they can be seen for safety's sake,
and as convenient guides in parking. So, too, with the jutting
peaks over the headlights.
The smart louvers across the hood aren't just decoration
. . . they mark the intake for the High-Level ventilation
system for cleaner, fresher air. And the whole shape of the
body its lowness, the dipped belt line is merely a reflection
ol a lowered center of gravity, the added stability. mm
This is truly functional styling that serves you better every E Sweep-Sight windshield
mile, and preserves its value against the distant day when
you trade. This is Body by Fisher another Chevrolet exclu-
sive in the low-price field. Come in and let us demonstrate that
this new Chevrolet is just as exciting to drive as to look at!
