Th Tornado emerged from a tent city it pitched on the Southern Oregon college field yesterday and went out into cold, blustery and rainy wea ther in the District 3 Class A high school meet to qualify men for 14 berths in the state en counter. As expected, Medford took team honors with 171 points as 11 boys in 12 events won the right to represent the school at Corvallis. Grants Pass took second place with 103 6-7. Third was Ashland with 57 6-7. Other team totals were Klamath Falls 51 5-7, Crater 19 5-7, Eagle Point 13, Henley 6 and Phoenix 1 6-7. 4 Schools Qualify Only four schools will send men to the state hassle. Ash land was a spurprise, qualifying six men for six berths. Grants Pass and Klamath Falls each will send four men north to ie in four events. First and second places were needed to earn the Corvallis jaunt. Medford failed to qualify in only the discus and pole vault, with failure of Lew Breazeale to even place in the vault the biggest Tornado disappointment of the day. Taking first places in six of the 14 events, the Tornado es tablished its team lead early in the day-long affair. Sophomore Neil Plumley won the shot put with a 45-foot 9-inch cast and Mike Hawkins took the broad jump with 21 3-4. Another soph omore, Eldon Francis, took his specialty, the javelin, with a 186-foot effort and his team mate, Mel Morgan, took second in the event. Larson Takes Hight Still another sophomore, Wal ly Larson, came through for Medford in the hurdles. He took the highs in good style at :15.5 but in the lows missed his stride on the third barrier and had to fight hard to beat out a mate, Broil Oglesby, for second place behind Scott Hancock, Klamth Falls. Don Crowl took the quarter mile for Medford in a photo finish, edging Tom Farrell of Klamath Falls. Crowl has had a game leg and the lack of work affected his endurance. He near ly ran out of gas 50-yards from the finish but had enough to win. Another Tornado one - two punch was felt in the half-mile when Jeff Williams won in 2:05.7 and was followed by Jack Pool. Dan Morris, Medford, was second to Ashland's speedy long striding Stewart Baker, in both the 100 and 220-yard dash. Glen Allison in fourth place going into the final turn of the final lap. put on a great finishing kick and took second in the mile. Bud Kastner was Medford's other qualifier in the high jump.

The close, tense scrap for Dis trict 6 A-l and conference bunt ings continued its tightening trend in Friday. Medford, pour ing across eight runs in a single inning, bowled over league- lead in, Grants Pass for the third time in four games. The count was 8 to b. Klamath uaiis pushed back into second spot in the. circuit with a double triumph over Ashland, 7 to 6 and 4 to 1. Grants Pass holds the lead by a half-game over Klamath. Med ford, with more victories but also more setbacks than the Peli cans, is in third position, trailing Klamath in percentage points. Race Could Deadlock The Medford Black Tornado has one contest to make up with KF while the Cavemen of Grants Pass have two to play with the Pels. Report at the district' track meet at Ashland yesterday was that Klamath would come to Medford on Monday for one dia mond make-up while Grants Pass is slated to go to Klamath Falls on Wednesday. Medford coach Alex McDonald could not be contacted last night for con formation concerning a Monday game. Grants Pass can clinch the pennant by sweeping the Pel conflicts. Klamath Falls will have to win all three of the make-ups to get the mantle without further play-off. A KF GP split and a Medford win over Klamath would knot the Tornado and Cavemen in the final standings while two wins by KF ever Grants Pass and a Medford win over KF would deadlock the Tornado and Pels. A KF-GP split and KF win over Medford would tie Klamath and Grants Pass. Two Medford home runs fea tured the Friday struggle at Grants Pass. The first was a left field smash by Frank Rector. The other, by Ed Reinking, came in the Tornado's big eight-run fourth batting turn and was his second in two games with GP. Reinking also cracked a single in the big canto and other hits were blasted by Paul Eckel, Jim Owsley and Larry Perkins. A hit batter and three errors con tributed to Medford run-making McCullough on Mound Ken Piland was the starting pitcher for Medford.

In the fourth he hit a batter and walked another. Coach Alex McDonald then sent Ed McCul lough to the hill. Eddie chucked his way out of that stanza. But his magnificent one-hitter against the Cavemen on Thursday had taken to much out of his arm. In the fifth he gave two bases on balls, and was reached for a triple by Chuck Nevi and a single by Del Oden. Grants Pass combined the hits and walks with an error for three runs. Grants Pass with only four hits in the mix, gained its last two off Medford's second re liever, Duane Sides, in the sev enth inning. Gay and Raleigh Burr smacked the safeties in an other three-run surge. An error and a fielder's option figured in the inning. Two runs got in when a pitch was not the one Catcher Owsley expected and got by him for a passed ball. LINESCORE: Medford 100 800 08 10 S Grants Pass 00O 030 3 6 4 4 Piland. McCullough (4).
