March 25. 1953 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVE1C Fanfare By DICK JIWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor Just received in the mail from Art Lichtman, athletic news di rector at University of Oregon, is a booklet containing a pictor ial and statistical report of the Class A state high school bas ketball tournament just con cluded. It's complete in almost every detail and is a fine, quick job by Art and his helpers, John Kahananui and Don Tacheron. Included is a tournament re view, scores, the tourney all star teams, leading scorers and statistical highlights, all - time records, team offensive and de fensive marks, individual rec ords, box scores of all the games and play-by-play account of the championship game. . Pictures include one of Med ford's runner - up squad and several of Black Tornado players and cheer leaders in action. The booklet is available to the public. Medford fans may ob tain copies by sending 50 cents to Tournament Booklet. McAr thur Court, Eugene. It's well worth the 50 cents. SLIP MADE It appears, howtyer, that, the tabulators made one slip. Jerry Kalapus, of Medford had a single game field goal ir.g mark of eight out of nine attempts against Franklin for an .888 arerage. In the rec ord book top man is shown instead as Mike Moran of Eu gene with his 10 of 12 for .833 against Albany. DUBIOUS FIRSTS Medford firsts in the state tourney were of rather a dubious nature: Most fouls, 82, and most free shots missed, 54 out of 122. Some of the sting is taken away by the fact that Medford oppon ents were guilty of a total of 80 infractions. The Black Tornado was sixth in team offense with a 54.8 per game average and tied for sixth with Eugene in team defense with 503. Larry Copple was seventh individual high scorer with 56. DOUBLE BILL SLATED Frank Roelandt, 'Medford high basketball coach, has re ported arrangements almost complete for a doubleheader feature here next season. The plan will bring Franklin and Cleveland highs of Portland lo southern Oregon. Grants Pass and Medford each will meet one of the Portland schools one night at Grants Pass and trade foes for the Iwinbill the other night at Medford. Eugene high is also slated for a series here next season Roelandt reported. MOAD PUTS 43 FEET Jack Moad, ex-Medford high, who holds the state high school shot put record of 57 feet 8 in ches with the 12 pound ball has put the 16-pounder out 49 feet several times this year in prac tices on the University of Ore gon crew, according to Coach Bill Bowerman. Ed Bingham, high jumper and javelin thrower while at Medford high, is making the transition to track at the U of O after his sophomore season on the Duck basketball varsity. WOOTEN IN TRAINING Derald Woolen, ex-Medford high, who signed as a bonus player in 1952, is now train ing in the Brooklyn Dodger camp, Vero Beach, Fla. The pitcher has been with Shaw nee, Okla., of the Sooner state League for most of the past two seasons. His con tract is with Elmira, N.Y., of the Class A Eastern League. His brother Dick." also ex-Medford, is now a catcher for Mo desto, Calif., junior college. Dick hurt his back at the start of the basketball season.
