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.

Como In and try the sensational performance
off Pontlac'o2-7P Strato-Streak V-OI
If all the talk about horsepower has
left you confused, let this one simple
fact set you straight.
Model for model, the sensational new
Pontiae Strato-Streak V-8 delivers more
horsepower per dollar than any 'ear in its field.
And that fact holds good whether you
specify the four-barrel carburetor a low-cost
option that puts 200 eager horsepower, under
Pontiac's handsome hood or the regular 180
horeepower Strato-Streak V-8.
The Strato-Streak V-8, part and parcel of
every Pontiae, produces performance as fresh
and distinctive as Pontiac's Twin-Streak styl
ing and Vogue Two-Tone beauty with tradi
tional Pontiae dependability and the greatest
economy in Pontiae history.
But Pontiac's extra value doesn't stop with
power. Its Shock-Proof chassis, wide-stance
rear springs, long 122' or 124 wheelbase, re
circulating ball steering and bigger brakes pro
vide fine-car comfort and handling.
Come in at your first opportunity and road
test Pontiac's spectacular Strato-Streak V-8
performance and you'll quickly see why sales
are now at an all-time high!
