Eu gene made use of 26 Medford personals for 24 points in 41 tries while Medford put in only six counters in ,13 attempts on 10 Axemen infractions. Med ford had the same total of field goals both nights.

For the Second night Copple was leading, Medford man on the backboards he picked off eight rebounds. Two free shots by Warren with slightly more than one min ute played opened the scoring in the game and Eugene kept the lead all the way. Superior height in the opening minutes helped the Axemen establish their com mand and they never faltered for Medford to catch up. At the .. quarter Eugene was on top 20 to 7. Eugene then built its gap to 26 to 7. Tornado hopes rose for a brief while in the second panel. rB"or a span of two min utes th Medfordites flashed a driving term like that which took the TWnado to the state tcQrney last season. The flurry accounted for eight points on close in shots by Tisdel and a goalfrom the keyhole by Cop ple, while Warren came through with a driver for Eugene. That made the score 28 to 15. But the breeze didn't last for Medford, wh?t)h lacked its zip of Friday nignt. The Axemen built up a 37 to 17 halftime bulge. Their margin reachedits widest at 28 points, 47 to If in the third quarter. Medford was held to five points inttie auarter which ended 47 to "Z2. w In the final caSto, as reserves of both clubs filtered in. Med rd had the scoring edge 16 to 15.
