0 TWELVE MEDFORD fOREGOIf) Hack Tornados Defeat Tough lugene High Hoop Team 57-52 Mglford high school's fast whirling Black Tornado roared into its pre-Southern Oregon "Conference basketball slate Fri day night by flashing encourag ing signs for the future along with a distinct and hearten ing impression that it desires to bend before no rival in hustle, drive, spirit and determination The Tornado, making its first public appearance of the new campaign on a Medford court, outscored a tough, fighting well balanced Eugene high aggrega te 57 to 52 in the see-saw first game of a two-night series matching the two finalists in the 1955 Class A Oregon prep basketball tournament. The clubs collided here again last night. In a tangle which prep fol lowers throughout the state were watching to glean early seasw reckonings of power, Medford's new model was sparked in scoring by Dick Cop pie, Bob Tisdel and Dick Mc Laughlin, in ballhawking floor play by Tisdel and in rebound retrieving by Copple and John ny Foust. And the lornado made the most of plentiful opportunities at the free throw alley to overcome the Axemen, .representatives of the defending state c?Wmpionship school. Eight Lead Switches Leadership changed hands eieht times and the score was knotted on nine occasions of the furious fracas which was close all the way. Eight points were the most that ever sepa rated the clubs. Medford had a 38 to 30 spread in the third quar ter after the Axemen had held a 29 to 23 point jump. Neither club held its advan tage long. Period standings were 15-all at the end of the opening canto, 25 to 23 for Eugene at halftime and 44 to 42 for the Tornado after three stanzas. Guard Lloyd Cearley put Medfft4 out ahead for keeps in the contest with just three min utes left to play.. He put a goal in from the right sideline near the corner for a 53 to 52 Tor nado count. Two minutes later, .with Medford playing for the sure shot, Cearley took a feed from Bob Tisdel and plunked the ball in from within 10 feet of the net. Dick Copple added the two other points on free shots as Medford finished out "with its control game. Copple Hig Scorer Copple, whose brother, Larry, won all-state honors last season, was top scorer for the evening with 18 tallies. Tisdel recorded 12 and Dick McLaughlin 11. Ch;ley Warren was high for Eugene with 10. In the point , production analysis it was free shots which gained the triumph for the Black Tornado. The Axemen outgunned the home aggregation 23 to. 6 in buckets from the field.tlethe free line Medford took advantage of 22 fouls whistled on Eugene for 25 gift goals in 36 attempts. The Axe men received 13 tries on 10 Medford personals and made good on six. """ Doug Lundstrom opened the scoring when the game was 15 seconds old with a two-pointer for Eugene. McLaughlin tied up the mix on a pair of gifters and Medford went on top 8 to 2 on buckets by Cearley and Copple ' and free tosses by John Foust. Warren from the side and Lund strom twice on rebounds con nected to tie up the game again. Cearley and Warren matched goals for 10-all. McLaughlin got two charity tosses for 12 to 10 but Bill Muhr from the foul - mark and Warren and Ed Far- rell from the field made it 15 to 12 for the Axemen. Tisdel's free heave and Copple's Ion jump brought the game to the first panel deadlock. Tisdel Steals Farrel made it 16 to 15 for Eugene as the second period began fcgt Tisdel on a steal and a driver from a leea got iviecaora back ahead 19 to 16. Copple dropped(n two gifties and Tisdel a jumper, while Farrell hit from well out for Eugene, as Medford took a 23 to 18 lead. Then Medford felt the affect of Dave Hickman's 6-feet inches as the tall Axemen popped in three fielders on re bounds to go with a Lundstrom free loss and give his club its halftime edge. Don SSfcwrence started off the third stanza with a jumper and Warren came through with rebounder for the 29 to 23 gap However, Medford fought back with a goal from the field and two markers from the foul stripe by McLaughlin, a bucket on a steal by Tisdel and a ree heave I Copple to jump in front 30' to 2x Copple then racked ud five more points while McLauglifin got one and Foust two free shots for the 38 to 30 margin. Muhr had got the free one for Eugene. ' It took .'0 jumpers and a re bound by Dave Quivey and a jumper by Farrell for Eugene to knot the game at 38-all. Foust and Farrell exchanged pairs of free shots and Copple and Hick man traded field buckets for a 42-all situation. Tisdel then sank MAIL TRIBUNE Bob Watson Talk Open to Public Non-members of the service club as well as Medford Lions club members and their special guests will have an opportunity Wednesday, December 14, to hear a talk by Bob Watson, ex Medford high athletic standout.

Bearcat Five Defeats Puget Sounders 60-49 Tacoma Willamette defeat ed College of Pudget Sound 60-49, here Friday night in a non-conference basketball game. Center Neil Causbie scored 23 points for the Bearcats. Lead ing Pudget Sound was John Barnett with 12. a shot from 35 feet out for 44 to 42. As the fourth Quarter eot underway Warren and Lund strom got goals in close to put the Axemen in the lead 46 to 44. Copple tied the game wtih a long jump but Powell retrieved the ball from a scramble and made it 48 to 46 for Eugene. Tis del got a free shot and Eugene's weaving offense produced a fielder by Powell for 50 to 47. Foust, fouled by Powell, and McLaughlin, fouled by Warren, each collected a pair of gift throws for a Medford lead of 51 to 50. Powell then scored a jumper off the weave for a 52 to 51 Eugene edge. That set the. stage for Cearley's two buckets. The game was Medford's first full length action, compared to Eugene's third, and the Tornado got off to an unsteady start but settled down to a surer per formance as the play progressed. While the Tornado defense brought pleased comments from Coach Frank Roelandt, the Med fordites were outdone in the recoveries from the backboards department during the first half. Rebounder and tip in shots by Lundstrom, Warren and Hick man of Mentor Hank Kuchera's Axemen kept the action lively for the Medford quint. But in the second half Eugene had only a slight edge in retrieves. Powell and Quivey were also scrappers for Eugene under the boards. 10 Axemen Play Kuchera sent 10 players into the action during the night and made more use of reserves than did Roelandt who called on nine men altogether. Copple with six, Tisdel with five and Cearley with four were the field goal producers for Medford while McLaughlin put in nine, Foust eight and Copple six in the free shot scoring, Scoremaking was distributed among eight of the 10 players from Eugene. Warren with five and Hickman and Lundstrom with four each were main col lectors from the field. McLaughlin was kept from full effectiveness by a tape job the length of his leg to take the strain away from a pulled ten don in his lower leg. Medford junior varsity pulled away in the second half to de feat its Crater counterpart 64 to 35 in the preliminary. Half way total was' 27 to 22. Green tallied 13 for Crater and Jay Mullen 12 for Medford.

Won't Fire Coach Cherberg Seattle (U.R) The Univer sity of Washington Board of Regents yesterday refused to fire football coach Johnny Cherberg because a majority of the team demanded his ouster. Cherberg was given a vote of confidence by the Regents and a new con tract. The Regents adopted the re port of its welfare committee, which recommended Cherberg be rehired for next season. Thus, a turmoil that erupted more than three weeks ago, when 70 per cent of the players went to Atheltic Director Harvey Gas sill asking Cherberg be fired, came to an end. A tipoff that Cherberg would be retained came in a statement by-H. P. Dick Everest,' univer sity vice president, who made the administrative investigation into the controversy. He said: "The administration feels this situation has become one affect ing the educational processes at the university, and not just one concerning the game vt foot ball." 4th Spot Teams Rivals in MIBL Company A of the National Guard and Hawkinson Tire Tread, tied for fourth in the Medford Independent Basketball League, start out the third week of the circuit.

Breaks Ring Axiom His second thwarting of tha ancient ring axiom: "They never come back," was achieved at the very hour when life seemed darkest for him. Shortly before the fight he was tagged with an $87,000 federal tax lien, and Chicago newspapers were front-paging the gangland slaying of his former business assoicate, Alex Louis Greenberg. Robinson and Joe Louis a few years ago had the Detroit distribution rights for Green berg's Canadian Ace Brewing Co. The slender negro with the little mustache went into the ring a 3- underdog because most experts and betting men thought "his legs were gone" and that he could not go 15 rounds in the nationally televised and broad cast fight against tha aggressive Hawaiian born Bobo from San Francisco. Bobo Rocked Early But Robinson didn't let Olson last long enough to answer the $64,000 question about the legs. He rocked Bobo early in the second round with a right to the chin, and staggered him a minute later in an exchange with a. left hook to the jaw. Then he began barraging Boh& and finally dropped him with a left hook and a smashing right to the jaw. The explosive right blasted Boboto his back on the canvas. Bobo writhed about on the floor but was unable to lift him self as referee FranJe1 Sikora waved the 10-count above him. He suffered the third knockout and eighth defeat of his career in the fourth defense of the crown. It was Olson who had forced the fight in every minute except during the final barrage. How ever, the retreating, side-stepping and circling Robinson land ed the more effective punches. Sugar Ray won the first round on the score sheets of tha two judges, John Bray and ,Ed Hintz, 10-9, but referee Sikora called it even 10-10. The United Press had Sugar Ray ahead, 10-9. BATTERY SALE!
