Grants Pass and Klamath Falls picked up victories on Sat urday night to pull into a tie with the Medford Black Tornado which was idle over the week end. The Cavemen of GP won 53 to 49 over Crater at Central Point while Klamath Falls was an unpleasant host to Ashland 57 to 40. Both GP and KF had two-came week end scries sweeps over their respective rivals. Ashland was pushed from a tie for first spot into fourth position in the circuit. At Central Point the Cave men found Crater full of fight but unable to mass scoring punch in their scrappiest bids. Grants Pass broke a deadlock 3'i min utes into the third, built up a 10 -point bulge and held on from there. The Comets could shrink the gap to no less than six points and the Cavemen had ll point spreads of 56 to 45 and 58 to 47 in the final minutes. Pels Gain Wide Lead The Pelicans at Klamath Falls exercised backboard control over Ashland and ran up a 45 to 19 margin in three periods in trouncing Ashland. Halftime score was 32 to 18.

But the Comets, putting out all the way, knotted the tussle at 14-all, 28-all and 30 each. Had Crater been able to put in a few more of its free shot tries in the early third quarter, the Comets might have been able to turn the tide In their favor. Jim Smith sank a 10-foot pusher to make the score 32 to 30 and put GP in front to stay. Chuck Rembert got a pair of gifters, Larry Walker and Bob Fowler each a field bucket and a free point. Mike 'Sparlin a jumper and Fowler a closey off a jump ball. In the meantime. Crater's standout of the game, Fred Herrmann, had picked up a fielder and two charity throws as GP gained its 44 to 34 com mand. Herrman put in 10 points each in the second and third quarters and a free marker in the fourth canto for 21 points and high honors of the game. He spurred the Comets with his ball-hawking but fouled out in the final seconds of the game. Smith Has 15 Smith was the high point man for GP with 15 and his team mate, Fowler, had 11. The two and Herrman were the only players to score In double figures. Rivalry under the backboards was even in the first half but the Comets, mainly on their furious play in the third quarter had a 41 to 32 rebounding edge for the game. Grants Pass, firing less but more accurately than the Comets, had only one more field goal than Crater, 16 to -15. Caveman shooting average was .338 to Crater's .277. At the free line CP put in 26 of 33 tries and Crater 20 of 30. Period scores in the mix favored Grants Pass 14 to 12, 23 to 26 and 46 to 40.
