While the Tornado was roar ing, Klamath Falls came though in another SO circuit 1956 in augural at Grants Pass, subdu ing the Cavemen 68 to 57. Medford's potent crew char acteristically got off to a slow itarfIt was cold in its shooting during the first quarter and Ashland controlled the play in the early moments. But the Pear City Mntingent pushed into command by the end of the period and in the second session swung into a whirling hot stride to take a wide lead that the Grizzlies could not con sistently threaten. 33 Point Advantage Quarterly bulges, all with Medford in front, were 12 to 9, 32 to 17 and 52 to 33. A spread of 79 to 46, a 33-point advantage was the widest of the night. Dick McLaughlin and Bob Tisdel with seven and six field buckets, respectively, and with 16 points apiece, provided most of the fire power and big Neil Plumley was the rebound tow er of strength with 16 plucks in the Tornado assault. All Med ford starters put in four field goals or more as 32 shots swish ed through the net for a .500 average in a 64-try barrage. In clearing the boards the Torna do outdid Ashland 55 to 28, virtually 2 to 1 control. Missing a number of good shots and harried by the spirit ed but eventually outbattled Lithians, the Black Tornado found the twine for only five field goals in 18 attempts in the first quarter and it took nine for 12 shooting in the sec ond panel to bring the average up to 50 per cent which . was maintained in the second half.

Ashland took opening lead in the game on a goal by Baker but Medford went ahead 5 to 2 on field and free shots by Dick Copple and a driver bucket by Tisdel. Stuart Baker dunked a singleton and Phil Sword duec ed from the gift line for a 5-all deadlock. Copple's pusher made it 7 to 5 to Medford but a longie by Lance Locke tied the game again. McLaughlin hit it close for 9 to 7 with 6Vi minutes played,' and Medford kept the lead after that. The Grizzlies were game and restrained the Tornado at var ious stages of the tussle but the : Medford quint was able by streaks snd bursts to build up its margin. And those surges came by six, eight and 10 points while the Tornado was blanking the Ashlanders. Medford had a gap of 24 to 13 in the second quarter. Ash land cut it to nine points at 26 to 17 but a pair of goals, long and short, by McLaughlin and a corner cast by Lloyd Cearley brought the 32 to 17 midway count. In the third quarter the Medford "advantage alternated at 13 and 15 markers until Tis del and Copple connected in succession and McLaughlin scored twice in close for a 21 point 46 to 25 spread. That edge slipped to 19 points but Tisdel and Cearley scored from that field and McLaughlin got a pair from the free line for a 25-tally, 60 to 35, Medford command. A full quint of Ash land reserves at this point hust led to cut the gap to 60 to 41. After that big try ended, Med ford fought up to 66 to 44.

Starting late in the day and not half way through his round when he heard that Bolt had shot a record-shattering 63 to go with an earlier 71, Mangrum put together nines of 33-33 for his mark. Ten Under Par That brought his record for 36 holes to . 10 under on the Rancho course which has a par of 71 and which veteran pro fessionals claim is one of the toughest municipal layouts they have had the pleasure of play ing in recent years. It started to appear that this would develop into . a two-man feud. Mangrum led the field by six strokes.' Bolt was in front by four. Despite Mangrum's .spectacu larly steady golf Bolt stole the show today.

Al Weill, who looks after heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano, led what was expected to be a gen eral exodus out of the Fight Managers Guild Saturday, sub mitting his resignation and stat ing he would support the cam paign to clean up boxing in New York State. Weil's decision, which he re vealed in a telegram from Los Angeles to the headquarters of the Guild here, was the latest development in a swift series, all tending to bring total victory to Julius Helfand, the State Ath letic Commissioner, who was in structed to clean up boxing or run it out of New York. "I decided to go along with Helfand and the New York State Athletic Commission and I just sent the wire to the Guild that I was resigning effective im mediately," Weill said in Los An MEDFORIMfeWTRIBUNE OSC QUINT DRONES 59-40 OVER WASHINGTON STATERS Pullman, Wash. U.R) Oregon State droned its way to a 59-40 victory over Washing ton State Friday night in the Pacific Coast conference bask etball opener for both teams. Oregon State stumbled to an early lead and was never head ed, but only because WSC was even colder than the slightly cool Beavers. Last year's Northern "division champs led 25-12 at the end of the first half in which the Cougars scored just two field goals one with nine minutes gone and one with a minute and a half to play. WSC hit only 7.4 per cent South Wins Pro Senior Bowl Game Mobile, Ala.

A capacity crowd of 35,000 fans at Ladd Memorial stadium saw Childress, a hard-running 195-pounder w h o - carried Au burn to the Gator Bowl, buck two yards to cap a 56-yard scor ing drive in the first period. He also smashed two yards for the second touchdown in the clos ing minutes of the game. In between Childress two scores, it was a stubborn South defense that earned the honors. The South's line, led by Tackles Don Goss of Southern Methodist and Auburn's M. L. Brackett and All-America Guard Bolinger of Oklahoma, time after time stop ped the powerful North running attack, often deep in Southern territory. The players, all seniors, turned professional by playing in the game. Each member of the winning team received $500 and each one of the losers $400. About 30 scouts from profession al teams in the United States and Canada watched the con test.

Chick Wergeles, who is asso ciated with Weill in various managerial fight ventures, also announced here that he was quit ting the-Guild. The Guild, a group of fight managers who have sought to get larger percentages and other concessions for their boxers, was denounced by Helfand as "monopolistic, dictatorial, and crime ridden" and he issued an edict, banning it in New York State effective ton Jan. 16. Spe cifically, he ordered the Guild dissolved because it was against the best interests of boxing, and the Guild members in turn, vot ed 66-0 to battle Helfand's edict. However, the Guild was dealt a haymaker blow by promoter Jim Norris of the International Boxing Club, who announced "100 per cent , suppprt of Hel fand" and declared also that he would do everything in his pow er to keep major weekly boxing shows operating ' in New York for national TV and radio au diances. from the floor during the first period while Oregon State was hitting 30 per cent.
