MAIL TRIBUNE 56 to 40 Saturday night and score its second straight vic tory on the first week end of the Southern Oregon confer ence basketbal campaign. The Tornado, playing con siderably better ball than on Friday night when Klamath won 60 to 31, outscored the Pelicans by one point in the third quarter and knotted with them in final period tabu- earned a week end series split with the Central Point crew and the two clubs are knotted for second position in the con ference standing. Crater had won Friday by a slender 36 to 35. Ashland, working the ball adeptly in its set style of de fense and throwing up a stub born defense, led all the way in the Saturday encounter. The Grizzlies took a 7 to 1 jump in the opening stanza but headed just 8 to 4 at the end of that chukker. They were in front 17 to 12 at the half and 22 to 19 after three stanza of a game that had lots of action but at a dearth of scoring. Press Threatens , The hassle was less rough and tumble than the Friday ruckus for three periods, yet bitterly fought. Crater, which used a full court pressing de fense, almost throughout in the series opener at Central Point, didn't apply that tactic until its effort to come from behind in the final quarter. It appeared briefly that the press might do the trick. Nine of the 23 infractions tooted in the hassle were in the final hassle. As the closing canto began Al Hartwell put in a long one hand shot and scored off a feed for 26 to 19. Kerman Bennett got a free shot for Crater but Ben Watrus, scor ing leader of Ashland's 15 marker last quarter picked up two of his three field goals for a 30 to 20 Grizzly gap. Joe Teeter hit a jumper for the Comets and Maurer a free toss for Ashland. Then Crater collected three free heaves by Randy Campbell and one by Charles Turner for 31 to 26. Lead Narrowed to Four Ashland stretched back to an eight point edge, on two charity throws by Jack To biasson and one by Watrus. However, Turner hit from the corner and on a fast break for goals that cut the Grizzly mar gin to four points at 34 to 30 with 48 seconds left to play. Watrus boomed in a bucket off a swift Lithian break with 35 to go and Lombard got a free toss with 21 seconds re maining to spoil Crater hopes of a second league victory. The Comets bid to overtake the Grizzlies in the third quar ter, cutting their deficit to 19 to 17 after Ashland had head ed at 19 to 12. Scores was once 21 to 19. Maurer was high point man in the contest with 12 and Watrus had 10. Randy Camp bell had 11 for the Comets.

Monday, January 6, 1958 Tornado off Series lation. However, the combin ation of a 17-point spread and Klamath Falls height was just too much to overcome. Quarter scores all with Klamath Falls leading were 12' to 8, 32 fo 15 and 44 to 28. Had the Tornado been able to find the field shooting range in the second quarter, they might have been challenging the Pels at the finish. But Medford was able to can only two field goals in 15 attempts during that portion of the game. The Rogue valley five was outscored 20 to 7 by KF in the period. Medford averaged .461 from the field during the last half to bring its mark up to a re spectable .380 for the game. Only Four Fouls Only four fouls were whistled on the Pelicans Saturday evening and the Tor nado got only two points on free shots. Klamath, itself, did not make many counters at the gift line. It got six on 11 Medford personal infractions. Klamath Falls naturally controlled the backboards with its superior height but the margin was not so great as on Frieday. Rebounding was 37 to 28 in Pelican favor. Bob Niles had 10 retrieves, Glenn Moore and Bob Peter son each nine and Dave Rob inson eight for the Pels. Low ell Dean, Tom Hamlin and Pete Rasmussen each had six for Medford. Moore with 18 and Niles with 16, on field goals, were the scoring leaders. Dean had 14 on seven field buckets for Medford. The Medford junior varsity played ball control at the fin ish to outlast Klamath Falls in the preliminary 44 to 42 for the second night in a row. The Black Tornado will have its hands full again next Friday and Saturday, meeting the high-powered South Eu gene high aggregation. VARSITY BOX: Medford Hamlin, f Anderson, Dean, e .

Also on the agenda was a report on coaches contracts. The "red shirting" question was slated to be aired at a round table discussion. "Red shirting" is the practice of training athletes but not us ing them until the need arises, thereby retaining their elig' ibility. The American Football Coaches association rules com mittee, headed by Lou Little, recommended Sunday that the NCAA loosen up its sub stitution rule. The committee said it will suggest to the NCAA rules body that a play er be permitted to re-enter the game nce in each quarter, regardless of whether he starts the period. Rules Meeting Friday Presently, a player can re enter the game in each quart er if he did not start the quarter The NCAA rules committee meets at Ft. Laud erdale, Fla. this Friday. The question of moving the goal post to the goal line was rejected by the committee in a close vote. Little said after the closed door meeting. The Ivy League was strongly in favor of returning the up rights to the goalhne. The NCAA television com mittee reported ticket sales in 1957 topped 15 million for the first time since 1950. The committee said paid attend ance was 1.4 per cent over the previous years, was the fourth highest in history, and only 594,728 less than the record 15,675,000 set in 1949.

Brewer, playing out of Cin cinnati, Ohio, has a loop in his backswing that is a joy to the duffers and a pain to the teaching professionals.
