TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE TORNADO BUMPS CRAT Medford Gets 5th Straight Hoop Victory Never seriously challenged after taking a wide lead in the second quarter, the Medford high Black Tornado began its South ern Oregon conference basket ball title defense and its bid for a third straight mantle by rumbl ing over Crater 62 to 39 at Cen tral Point on Friday night. It was the fifth victory in a row for the Tornado which, like ' the Comets, compiled a 4-2 rec ord in pre-league tune-up tussles. Crater in the fuss made its debut in A-l class hoop rivalry. Medford was joined in the conference winner circle Friday night by Ashland. Tne Grizzlies with their deliberate style of fense slipped by Grants Pass 33 to 30. The Tornado found the going tough in the early minutes of the fracas but managed to pull in front at the first quarter halt 11 to 8. Once ahead, the Medford ites never fell behind again. Nor were they tied. They ran up a 35 to 18 half time spread. By the end of the third quarter there was 31 points difference in the tabulation, 59 to 28. Comets Tenacious Medford non-starters played the entire fourth canto. Crater finished up with reserves in the last half of the final period. Crater's tenacious man-for-man defense and the long range shooting of Wayne Allen and George Juveland along with Medford inability to find the field goal range were factors in the Comet first stanza effort to make a game of it. But the Tor nado cashed in on free shots and Crater didn't. Allen scored for Crater on a pusher and then a jumper from far out to give the home team a 4 to 0 jump in the first minute of play. Dick Copple put in two shots l'iminutes into the fuss for Medford but with three min utes played Juveland pushed trom afar for a 6 to 2 Comet edge. With 4',4 minutes contested Dick McLaughlin sank a brace of gifters. Thirty seconds later Copple swished from the side, ending the Medford field goal drouth with five minutes play ed. ThBt knotted the game at 6 each. Tornado Leads McLaughlin's free toss with 2'i to go in the panel gave Medford its first lead and big Neil Plumley barged through the slot to hit from close range for 9 to 6 count. Juveland came back with a long jumper but Plumley closed out the quarter with a pair of gifters. During the first quarter Med ford had hit only two of 13 field tries for .154 average. However, in the next eight-minute session the Tornado cracked the Comet defense to score heavily from close range, making nine buc kets in 15 casts for .600 accur acy. Larry Perkins put in all four of his field goals for the night in this stage of action. The Tornado also continued to gun well from the free line. Crater picked up in its gift throwing but had and took few Brennan Remains As Irish Coach South Bend, Ind aj.R The Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh. president of Notre Dame Uni versity, announced Saturday that Terry Brennan will again be head coach of the Irish football team next year. In a brief statement, apparent ly designed to quiet increasing rumors that the youthful grid coach was on his way out. Father Hesburgh said: 'Coach Terry Brennan was en gaged in 1954 on a verbal agree ment for three years. Upon recommendation of the faculty board in charge of athletics, we are now engaging him next year. We are sure the alumni and friends of Notre Dame join us in wishing him all success." Brennan's re-engagement as head coach came after the 28-year-old mentor closed the worst gridiron season in Notre Dame history with eight defeats and only two wins. Bob Bragan, Dale Long Get Baseball Awards Pittsburgh vU.Rl Manager Bobby Bragan, who "broke" the Pittsburgh Pirate lease on the National League cellar, and Dale Long, who set a new home run record. Saturday were named winners of awards presented by the Pittsburgh chapter of the Baseball Writers of America. The chapter's Harvey J. Boyle Memorial award, presented an nually to the sports figure who has contributed the most to Pitts Bragan. former manager of the Hollywood Stars of the Pacific Coast league. The rookie man ager piloted the Pirates to a seventh-place finish in 1956. The Pirates had finished last the four previous years. MEDFORJViliTRIBUNS iPODmir shots from the field against Med ford defenders. The Comets had two field goals in five tries in the second quarter. Margin Reduced As the second half opened Medford widened its spread to 21 tallies at 39 to 18 with a half minute contested. In the next 3'2 minutes of the third quarter Crater outscored the Tornado nine points to three, hacking the margin to 15 points at 42 to 27. The Comets then were scoreless for a span of better than three minutes than three minutes while Medford added 16 points for a 58 to 27 bulge. Medford in the third period Boxing Association Rates Sugar Ray as No. Three Middleweight Contender; Humez, Giardello Listed Milwaukee UR; The Nation al Boxing Assn. Saturday rated Sugar Ray Robinson the No. 3 contender in the middle-weight division which he ruled until his defeat by Gene Fullmer last Wednesday night. The NBA rated Robinson be hind Charles Humez of France and Joey Giardello of Pennsyl vania as contenders for the crown now worn by Fullmer. A re-match between Fullmer and Robinson is scheduled for either March or June. The NBA tagged Gaspar Or tega, No. 2 contender in the wel terweight division, as December "boxer of the month." Ortega, unranked three months ago, scored victories over Isaac Lo gart and former welterweight champion Tony de Marco to move up in the ratings. NBA rating chairman Fred Saddy said unless featherweight champion Sandy Saddler defends his title soon, the crown may be declared vacant. An elimination Eastern Oregon Edges SOC 72-71 to Open Ashland Earle Smith, 6-4 Eastern Oregon forward scored a jump shot from the keyhole with 33 seconds remaining Fri day night to edge Southern Oregon 72-71 to win the league opener in Oregon Collegiate Basketball competition. The basketball game started out as a slow and deliberate ball control affair. Southern Oregon on the strength of early baskets by Chuck Crandall, and a basket and two free throws by Ron Owings. jumped out to a 7-2 lead before Eastern Oregon caught fire. " Paced by big Bill West's time ly shooting and deadly accuracy of the Mountaineers shooting percentage from the free throw lane, EOC took the lead with three minutes remaining in the first half. Halftime score was 36-28 for EOC. Larry Howard hit 10 out of 11 field goals for EOC to lead all scorers. He had 20 points. In the second half, quick bas kets by Dale Bates and Bill Hol lingsworth. Southern Oregon narrowed the count to 49-46. only to fall back to a 5 point deficit. Norman Oliva, scored on a tip-in with 7 minutes remaining in the game to tie things up at 63-63. Jim Cahill retaliated for EOC. and Jerrold Baxter and Bill West scored on a free throw and lay-in to push EOC back in front once again 66-63. Baskets by Oliva and Cran dall, gave SOC a temporary lead at 67-66 with 3 Is minutes re maining. One minute later, Bill West found the range again and EOC see-sawed to a 68-67 mar gin. Cahill scored a jumper and Owings scored like-wise to push the score to 70-69 for Eastern Oregon with 2 minutes remain ing. Bill Hollingsworth scored a pair of free throws for Southern Oregon with one minute and 44 seconds remaining to put SOC ahead 71-70. It looked like Southern Oregon had come from behind to gain the first confer ence victory as Eastern Oregon lost the ball out of bounds. Southern Oregon regained pos session and started ball con trol when an Eastern Oregon player deliberately fouled Chuck Crandall. Crandall, usually a -deadly free throw shot missed his first attempt and EOC cleared the boards, only to be charged with traveling. Southern Oregon with the ball was forced into a jump ball situation and the taller Eastern Oregon team cleared the jump and set the stage for Smith's game winning shot with 33 seconds remaining. SOC shot three times at the basket but the lid did not open and time ran out with Eastern Oregon nipping the young and inexperienced Red Raiders 72 71. Both teams scored 25 field goals, but tile difference in the Sunday. January 8. 1957 continued its warm firing from the field with seven for 15 tries while Crater made only two for 12.

Champ's Disc Said to Stop Return Fight New York (U.R) Gene Full mer's new hi-fi hit record goes: "When it's mink-mating time in Utah, there'll be a runout on 'Run-out Ray'." The middleweight champion's new platter explains that the love-life of the Utah mink defin itely precludes a return title bout with Sugar Ray Robinson in March and should cause a postponement till June. It seems that Fullmer's man ager, Marv Jenson. is a wealthy mink rancher of West Jordan, Utah. And he simply m-u-s-t be present as a selective cupid dur ing the March breeding season or lose "thousands of dollars." "And so a March fight with Robinson is definitely out," says Jenson. "I want Gene to have four over-the-weight matches, and then defend his title against Sugar Ray at Yankee Stadium in June." It sounds like new-fnalged publicity for the return brawl, which probably will be staged at the Chicago Stadium, March 13 or 20. RusseSI Gets 7 for Celts By UNITED PRESS Rival cejpters in the National Basketbalf Assn. who can shoot effectively from long range have the best chance of scoring against rookie Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics.

Lowe Draws Suspension For Grades Corvallis (U.R) Oregon State star halfback Paul Lowe, 20, of Los Angeles has been sus pended from the school because of poor grades, Assistant Regis trar Dallas Norton disclosed Frt day night. Norton said notice of Lowe's suspension had been mailed to his Los Angeles home address Dec. 27. E. B. Lemon, dean of adminis tration, said: "Lowe's academic record is such that we cannot permit him to continue. Because the boy has the ability and at times showed promise we were hopeful he might justify the time spent here. However, when his grades for the term just ended on Dec. 18. were compared with other members of the team there seemed to be no alternative to the action taken." Lemon said Lowe must have been aware of his situation at Oregon State- because he stayed in California after the Rose Bowl game at his own request. Under college rules, Lowe could not return to the school for a year after his suspension, which "would be after the 1957 football season. However, he could be reinstated if he indi cated to the academic defic iencies committee that he had made up his grades through ex tension work or at another school.
