Jury Convicts
Giardello on
Beating Charge
Philadelphia (U.R) An
amazed Joey Giardello, convic
ted of beating a service station
attendant, fought for a new trial
Thursday to remove the blight
on his jeopardized middleweight
boxing career.
I he jury deliberated more
than five hours to find the top
contender for Carl (Bobo) Ol
son's crown guilty Wednesday
night of assaulting Howard
Short, 31, and on three counts
of riot at the South Philadelphia
station Oct. 29.
Michael Von Moschzisker, Gi
ardello's attorney, immediately
asked that sentencing be defer
red for four days to give him
time to file an appeal for a new
trial.
The verdict, if it stands, could
hurt or possibly end Giardello's
career since, fight observers said
most states have agreed not to
license boxers convicted of a
crime.

Ctobbers lilac Hi, .81-41; Way. ..Cleveland
Rector Leads Tornado To Win;
Fast Battle With Tribe Seen
By DICK JEWETT
Mail Tribune Sports Editor
McArthur Court, University
of Oregon, Eugene Sending the
1955 classic's "Ciderella" team
back to its ashes last night, Med-
ford's sturdy, confident cagers
joined Eugene, Central Catholic
of Portland and Cleveland of
Portland for this evening's round
of four in the championship
bracket of the Oregon class A
high school basketball tourna
ment here.
Outclass Pioneers
Medford, breezing to triumph
mainly on the strength of a big
third quarter splurge, outclassed
scrappy but ragged and erratic
McLoughlin high of Milton-Free-
water 61 to 41 m the tourneys
second round to earn its semi
final berth against Cleveland's
swift-moving Indians. Cleveland
put the first blemish on the pre
viously spotless St. Helens Lions'
195411955 record, fighting an up
hill battle to win 65 to 62 in over
time. The Lions had won 23
straight this year.
Eugene, smashing 77 to 47
victor yesterday over Albany,
and Central Catholic, winner by
45 to 31 over South Salem, col
lide in tonight's semi-finals. This
evening's victors vie Saturday
night for Oregon prep basket
ball's most cherished crown
while the losers mix for third
place.
Medford last was a semi-finalist
in 1946 and seeks its third
diadem and first since 1929.
Mac Hi, the surprising con
querer of high ranked North
Bend, in Wednesday's opening
round and tourney "darling" for
the upset, had little to offer of
fensively against the No. 1 rated
Black Tornado. Stout Medford
msui - to - man hoop protection
gave the Pioneers little chance
to operate effectively and get
good shots. The Eastern Oregon
quint got only seven field goals
in the first three quarters.
Took Lead Early
But the combination of delib
erate . pioneer maneuvering to
pave the way for close in jump
ers and high-spirited defense
furious play under the back
board held down the Tornado
for most of the first half. It was
the same type of play which
broke the North Bend Bulldogs.
Medford, however, didn't crack.
The Tornado kept on top after
taking a 4 to 3 lead three min
utes into the game.
The advantage stretched to 10
to 3, slipped to 10 to 8, was 12 to
8 at the quarter, increased to 18
to 11, then shrank to 18 to 15
midway through the second pe
riod. Medford put on an eight
point burst to go to 26 to 16 at
the half.
In the third quarter, the pow
erhouse from the Rouge valley
whirled away all chances for a
second straight upset by the am
bitious Pioneers. Finally catch
ing full stride the Tornado blew
up a 19-point gale while com
pletely blanking Mac High for
five full minutes. That ran the
count to a spread of 29 points at
45 to 16. At the end of the stanza
Medford led by 26 with a score
of 49 to 23.
Rector Medford Star
Frank Rector was Medford's
star performer with 21 points
for the night despite a cold
which has handicapped his effi
ciency. During the big third quar
ter assault he contributed nine
of the counters and his 12 tallies
A
FRANK RECTOR
Scores 21 Points
ter, were a big reason why Med
ford got on top and stayed there
during an early stage of the
game.
His first two buckets gave
Medford the upper hand on the
scoreboard. Two others during
the first- half relengthened
shrinking Medford margins and
another got the Tornado on its
way to a wide command. Jerry
Kalapus contributed his usual
stellar duty on the backboards
with 14 retrieves and he had 12
points and second high scoring
honors for his team.
Pioneer Ace Gets 16
Gene Lieullan gleaned the
glory for the Pioneers with 16
points and 16 rebounds but his
laurels were of the empty sort.
Eight of , his counters came in
the fourth quarter and six of
them when the Medford line-up
was flooded with reserves.
The Tornado subs filtered into
the action through the various
stages of the final stanza which
saw two regulars, Larry Copple
and Bud Kastner, foul out. Ex
cept for appearance by Glenn
Peterson for brief seconds, the
reservists played the last 4Vs
minutes of the tussle.
Medford had one of its lowest
nights of the season in field
coaling average with .389 but
the Pear City boys shot less and
made more than the Pioneers.
Twenty-one field goals in 54 tries
was the mark for Medford while
Mac Hi ran up 14 for 66 for a
poor .212.
The Pioneer deliberateness on
offense and zeal on defense cur
tailed somewhat the Medford
fast break. The break did
whoosh at times but not always
for baskets.
Indians Tough
With Cleveland's Indians to
night expected to play a hard
running game, the Medford of
fense could swing back in its
style. Nevertheless, the Indians,
twice beaten by Medford, 58 to
48 and 56 to 40, in early season,
showed every indication last
night that they'll give the Tor
nado a battle.
The Tribe's encounter with St.
Helen's was a thriller-diller and
it was the 27 and 16 point shoot
ing of all-state candidates Dick
Jolley and Eric Peterson, respec
tively, and the rebounding of Jay
Bashor, Bob Hevener and Jol
ley which principally manufac
tured the win. But Lion fouls in
the final quarter had a lot to do
with it. The Tribe, lagging 42
to 49 after a Lion surge in the
in the first half, six in each quar- third quarter and 44 to 53 early
used

in the final stanza of regular
playing time, made nine out of
10 gift tries in the period.
Cleveland caught up with St.
Helen's at 59-all on two gift
shots by Bashor with 2Vi min
utes to play. Jolley put the tribe
on top at 61 to 59 but Jim
Spears, St. Helens big gun of the
second half tied up the score.
Cleveland stalled to try for one
sure shot but never got the
chance. A pass went astray, St.
Helens - got the ball and Jim
Ross shot and missed at the
buzzer.
Jolley and Petersen provided
the Cleveland goals in the over
time. Marlin Marsh made a free
shot for St. Helens which had
six or seven field shots at the
hoop but couldn't pump in the
ball.
Eugene, with huge Mike Mo
ran showing the way with 27
points and 13 rebounds, turned
in by far the outstanding show
ing of the quarter-finals. The
Axemen, in lashing Albany, a
team which beat them once by
12 points, shot a sizzling .518 av
erage from the field. Albany,
unable to hit and outplayed and
outhustled by the hometowners,
never was in contention, even
with Don Stamp's 27 points.
The Axemen led once by 40
counters, 62 to 22.
Central Catholic and South
Salem lacked luster. The Rams
won by holding the Saxons to
only two points in the last quar
ter while getting 17 themselves.
Jim Altenhofen of the Catholic
school was the star of the piece
with 17 points and 19 rebounds.

Grimm Sees Chance
For Braves To Cop
Baseball Pennant
By LEO H. PETERSEN
United Press Sports Editor
Bradenton, Fla. (U.R) Char
ley Grimm is going into the 1955
pennant race figuring his Braves
have "as good a chance as any
body." "We definitely are a first divi
sion ball club, and I'm optimis
tic as hell," Grimm said. "I
know the league is going to be
tougher because it will have bet
ter balance, but we figure to be
a lot stronger, too."
Grimm, still jolly despite a
stomach ulcer, likes his pitching,
calling it "the best in the league
in depth." So he figures if his
club can avoid the injuries
which plagued it last season, "it
could go all the way."
The only weak spot he can
see on his team is if his star
catcher, Del Crandall, should be
injured and lost to the team
for any length of time.
Grimm figures the addition of
catcher Jack Parks, .312 hitter
at Atlanta, George Crowe, a
first baseman who hit .334 at
Toledo and Charles Tanner, an
outfielder also up from Atlanta
where he batted .323 gives his
team the left-handed pinch hit-
for Albany. Six-foot-eight-inch
Mike Moran scored 27 points for
the Axemen as a record after
noon crowd of 8136 watched.
Moran sat out more than a quar
ter. Don Stamps had 25 points
for Albany.
Central Catholic's win over
Salem was paced by Sophomore
Jim Altenhofen who scored his
team's first six points and
wound up with 17. It was close
until the final quarter.
Consolation round games yes
terday saw Milwaukie drub
Dallas 67-33; Baker top Astoria
58-44; North Bend down Frank
lin 75-67, and Redmond take
Hillsboro 52-41.
Eugene (U.R) Mike Moran,
tall Eugene center, led individ
ual scorers at the end of two
days of the state tournament
with 50 points. Don Stamps of
Albany was next with 45 and
Red Bloedel of Milwaukie had
44.
Eugene (U.R) Dr. Ruskin
Blatchord of Salem missed his
first state tournament basketball
game in nine years yesterday.
Dr. Blatchford, who had seen
216 consecutive tournament
games, failed to get here in time
for the 8:30 a.m. Redmond-Hills-boro
clash. Dr. Blatchford has
attended at least part of all but
the first state tournament,
w hich was in 1919.

ting bench strength it lacked
last season.
Along with that improvement,
he expects a full season's play
out of Bobby Thomason, who got
into only 43 games, many of
them as a pinch hitter, after
breaking his ankle in spring
training. Henry Aaron, a rookie
star last season until he, too,
broke an ankle, also seems fit,
and Grimm expects pitchers
Chet Nichols and Bob Buhl to
do better.
Buhl, who looked great last
spring, won only two games
while losing seven while Nichols,
just out of service, won nine
and lost 11. Last spring Grimm
figured the two of them should
be good for 30 victories and
this year he believes they will
make it.
They will be his starters along
with Gene Conley (14-9); War
ren Spahn (21-12) and Lew Bur
dette (15-14).
Dave Jolly (11-6), Ernie John
son (5-2, the veteran Dave Koslo
(1-2) and Ray Crone, who won
seven at Toledo, are relief pitch
ing possibilities.
Crone could win a starting
jib, according to Grimm, along
with Jim Wilson, (8-2).
The infield is set with Joe
Adcock at first, either Danny
O'Connell or Johnny Dittmer at
second, Johnny Logan at short
and Ed Mathews at third.

lem "but a mighty happy one"
because it involves picking three
regulars from Thomson, Andy
Pafko, Bill Bruton and Aaron.
With such hard hitters as Ad
cock and Mathews in the infield,
Grimm is not worried over the
fact that none of his regular out
fielders hit .300 last year.
Roy Smalley, who used to be
the regular shortstop with the
Cubs, probably will win an in
field utility post.
