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. Copple scored 12 for

Winter Olympics End
With Russia Hinting
Power For
By PETER UEBERSAX
Cortina, Italy (UP.) The Win
ter Olympics, dominated by
Russia and the individual feats
of Austria's Toni Sailer, pro
duced an avalanche of records
and bitter defeats for Canada
and Norway.
When the Olympic torch flick
ered out Sunday night in the
shadows of the - Dolomite Alps,
Russia's - superbly conditionedd
team had given a hint of the
power it will unleash at the 1956
summer games. Russia pulled an
unprecedented feat by winning
the unofficial team -champion-J
ship in its first appearance at a
winter Olympiad. ;
The Soviet stars chalked up
Olympic and world records witt
effortless grace , in speed skat
ing and climaxed their brilliant
showing by winning the ice
hockey title Saturday night with
a 2-0 triumph over Canada.
Sixth Gold Medal
The triumph over the world's
No. 1 ice hockey nation gave
Russia its sixth gold medal of
the 24 offered and a total of 121
points. With points .awarded on
a basis of 10-5-4-3-2-1 for first
through sixth places in each
event, - Austria finished second
in the .unofficial team standings
With 78. ;
The United States entered one
of . the best teams it has sent to
the Winter Games. -;' Its gold
medal performances, as expected
were produced by figure skating
stars Hayes Alan Jenkins a n d
Tenley Albright. . The Yanks
wound up sixth in team scoring
with 54V4 points.
Actually, Olympic officials
recognize only individual per
formances and Sailer emerged
from the record 947 entries as
the finest, performer in the 32-
year history of the winter games.
He became the first to win all
Olympic titles in a single branch
of sports by sweeping the three

By California
Portland U.R) Oregon treks
to Seattle for a Friday and Sat
urday night go-around with the
Washington Huskies this week
while Oregon State enjoys a
week of badly needed rest.
The Stacers, two-time losers
to California during the past
week-end, dry the bye in the
conference this week and Ore
gon is only one week away
from the idle week end.
The Ducks, after pulling their
55-45 upset over Southern Cali
fornia Friday night, came back
strong Saturday and made a real
game of it for three-quarters of
the distance.
For that final ten minutes,
though, the Trojans were the
masters, wholly and completely,
as they broke out of a 59-59
deadlock with 10:56 remaining
ana" within ' five minutes had
manufactured a 14 point advan
tage at 74-60. From here on in
it was easy as the Trojans coast
ed to an 87-71 verdict to even
up their stand at Eugene.
Wide Duck Margins
Oregon twice in the first half
had margins as great as a dozen
points. Once at 24-12 the Ducks
were in command when sudden
ly they couldn't buy a basket
and before they could again dent
the scoring column found them
selves on the short end of a
27-24 count.
By half time the Ducks had
gone back out in front at 42-39,
and for the first ten minutes of
the second period things were
nip and tuck.
Jerry Ross led the evening's
s.coring, hitting 23 for Oregon.
Oregon State, like - Oregon,
was a three-quarter ball club
Saturday night as it suffered
their second straight setback at
the hands of California.
The Beavers, who Friday night
lost an overtime thriller to the
Bears, 65-63, trailed only 51-48
