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

Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh.
president of Notre Dame Uni
versity, announced Saturday that
Terry Brennan will again be
head coach of the Irish football

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

A re-match between Fullmer
and Robinson is scheduled for
either March or June.
The NBA tagged Gaspar Or

"boxer of the month." Ortega,
unranked three months ago,
scored victories over Isaac Lo

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.

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.

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.

Grants Pass Cavemen Friday
night 33-30 in a thriller that
saw the hometowners play be
fore a near capacity crowd.
The game see-sawed back and
forth until Mel Dailey sunk a
long one handed push shot
from the corner of the side
lines to ice the game for Ash

The game was featured by
individual scoring sprees on
the part of the Ashland hoop
sters. In the first half Jack Eb

game with 8-8 from the free
throw line and 10 points. Then
in the second half Mel Dailey
took up the slack for the Grizz

their 7th straight game without
a set back.
The Grants Pass scoring was

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.
