XICJHT MEDFORD (OREGON) Black Tornado Subdues Indians 57-50 In Non-League Hoop Fray Medford'i Black " Tornado whirled blusteringly at the fin ish Saturday night to dump th Roseburg high basketball aggregation 57 to 50 in a non conference basketball engage ment. The Tornado, while restrain ed by its own cold . shooting streaks, a tough Indian zone de fense and a fairly ' deliberate Roseburg offensive attack, went in front early in the conflict and held, the advantage most of the way but had to overcome two Roseburg leads in the final canto to accomplish the . tri umph. Driving, ballhawking play by Lloyd Cearley and Bob Tisdel, the rebounding work of Johnny Foust, Dick Copple, Dick Mc Laughlin and Ed Reinking and speeded up offensive . action in the final minutes enabled Med- f ord to come out on top. ' Roseburg Goes Ahead Medford went ahead 6 to. 4 when the tussle was 3V min utes old, headed 13 to 9 at the quarter, 24 to 19 at the half and 36 to 33 at the third panel in termission. In the fourth quar ter the Indians pumped in eight successive points on free shots while Cearley and McLaughlin hit from the field for the Tor nado. The last two free tosses by Bill Oerding with 2 min utes played in the quarter gave Roseburg its second lead of the ' night at 41 to 40. Cearley came back with a drive-in shot for Medford to give the Tornado a 42 to 41 edge but Dick Woolstenhulme, the In dians' leading scorer and back board man, made it 43 to 42 for his team with a 12-foot jump er. At the four-minute spot of the stanza Cearley boomed through the keyhole on another driver. That made it 44 to 43 and Medford was ahead to stay. Foust collected a pair of free shots, Tisdel scored on a steal, Foust got another brace of points at the gift line and Tisdel goal ed on a jumper. That gave Medford a nine-point 52 to 43 bulge, one of its two -widest mar gins of the night. Bud Hoenish and Jerry Dro scher hit for the Indians for 52 to 47, closest Roseburg was to cutting the margin the final mo ments. Tisdel tallied off a feed as Medford played a scoring stall and McLaughlin countered on the rebound of a missed gift shot by Copple. The spread was again nine points at 56 to 47. The four-tally gap at the end of the first period was Med- ford's widest of . that quarter and seven-point 22 to 15 and 24 to 17 margins in the next ses sion were the biggest leads un til the final minutes of the game. Tornado edge was from two to six points through the third quarter. Roseburg accuracy at the free toss line helped it, along with ' the tight defense, to keep on Medf ord's . heels. ' The Indians swished in 24 gifters in 29 tries while the Tornado got 17 for 31. From the field Medford hit 20 times and Roseburg 13. Oerding Scores 17 Oerding, high point man for the game with 17, had 11 of his markers on free shots. Cearley was the top gunner from the field with seven goals. He had one gift shot for a total of 15 points. Woolstenhulme with six shots from the field and three from the free mark also had 15 count.

Triple Medal Winners Other triple gold medal win ners in past Olympiads were Nor way's speed skaters, Ivar Ballan grud and Hjalmar Andersen, but both failed to sweep the four speed skating races on the Olym pic program.
