Klamath overcanfe a Crater high challenge 6 to ip og Friday. Q n Grants Pass cam to Medfoed on Friday reportedly with spe 1 offensive and defensive prep arations to meet the Black Ti nado. But the week-long efforts of the Cavemen were to no avail. Only the Tornajlo's own coldness at times kept its score from being higher and GP efforts to spread the Medford defense andosendJ a eager driving to the buckefail ed to pay Qdf with 4any serious (effectiveness. Medford Clever Trailed MedforiC combined superio teamwork, wjirm freld fifing and successful use of free shots off eight Graves Ps fouls to take control of the contest in the first quarter. Never behind in the has sle, the Tornado produced quar terly margins of 19 to 7, 35 to 16 and 49 to 24. Q In the final chukker the Med forditfja pushed in six tallies be fore GP got the range and built their advantage to the widest of the night. 31 points at 55 to 24. Through most of the evening the Tornado hoopmen contribut ed ) tight ball-hawking game and only one Caveman, reserve Gary Tompkins with three, got more than two field goals. No man in the fuss collected more than four baskets from the field. Neil Plumley, Larry Parkins and Tom Hamlin had that many for Medford. Plumley was high point man for the night with 14 mark ers. Hamlin had 12 and Perkins 10. Larry Walker, like Tompkins a late starter, topped the Cave men with 10, eight on gift shots. Medford had the edge on the backboards, although not one sided, and Dick McLaughlin and riumley were the chief contrib utors in rebounding. McLaughlin claimed 14 retrieves and Piumley 11. Hamlin had six, equal to GP's maiijrebounder, Jerry Put nam. I' GP Closes Gap After Me Tornado had estab lished itse,lf in front in the first panel, the was only one stretch when it appeared that the Cave men migtit seriously threaten. That was in the third quarter. In the early part of the session, the Tornado was a Igf cold from the field. Shots that did go intiy McLaughlin and Dick Coppie were matched by BobCFowler and Pete Proctor. Braces of free points by Walker and Paul Lind quist cut the Medford spread to eight points at 23 to 15.

The Pelicans held off a fourth quar ter Crater bid to win 60 to 49 to retain its loop leadership knot with Medford. , The Comets in their finest, game of the season, presented a choking defense which baffled the Pels at times and they, them selves, did well on the attack when Klamath utilized zone strategy tto protect its bucket. Klamath jumped in front at the start of the contest but had to surge from behind to lead 14 to 12 at the quarter. It was the second quarter scoring which made the difference in the ti nal outcome. The Pels were on top 33 to 21 at the half. Crater out-tallied KF by one point in the third stanza, 13 to 12, but the Pelicans still had a good bulge at 45 to 35 at the intermission. The Comets whack ed their deficit to five points at 52 to 47 in the last quarter. This was offset by a six ' point Pel spurt and the clubs wound up even with 15 points each in the final quarter. Jamming Defense The Comets jammed the mid dle tot hold back Pel efforts to drive in for shots and Wayne Al len was assigned the principal chore in keeping down the ef forts of KF's high scoring Butch Kimpton to hit from the outside.
