Opportunities were scattered until the fourth quarter when Grants Pass was desperately trying to get the ball and come from behind. The Tornado hit two for 12 prior to the last canto. 25 to 12 Buldge Sparlin opened the scor ing 10 seconds into the game with a jumper but Dean hit two goals for Medford for 4 to 2 and Hamlin, Anderson and Lane added buckets for 10 to 2 before GP cashed in again. The Cavemen pulled up to 12 to 10, but that is the closest they were to come to the Tornado which hopped to an 18 to 11 quarter buldge. Medford extended to 25 to 12 and was on top 33 to 23 at halftime. Sparlin hit a cast from midfloor which was ruled good at the buzzer over vigorous protest by Medford Coach Frank Roelandt. Medford picked up only one field goal' in the first three minutes of the second half while the Cavemen got nine for 35 to 32. Tornado shooting average for the full route was .425 on 20 for 47. In the finaj period of ball control the Pear city players tried only three shots at the hoop. The. Medfordite club was at its offensive best in the first half and lost the ball on only three occasions. Dean after his fine first half, sat out about six min utes of the last half because of four fouls. Larry Brown did some fine reserving for Dean and for Anderson with some particularly effective work under the offensive basket.

A Copley News Service correspondent aboard the es corting Perseus reported sun ny skies and fresh northern winds from the Gulf of Cali fornia as the lead yachts head ed for the finish line after rounding the tip of lower Cal ifornia some 720 miles south of San Diego. The Windward, owned by E. R. and Don Chilcott, Los Angeles, has held its front running position since jump ing into an early lead when the race started Sunday. But the big, 89-foot ketch Novia Del Mar, skippered .by John P. Scripps, San Diego, .had gained on the Windward to take over second pisition, fol lowed by the Escapade, New port Harbor, Calif., and the Zeroya, Lido Isle, Calif. The Windward kept its lead in unofficial handicap stand ings, trailed by the Altura, San Francisco, and the Car ousel, San Diego.' The leaders in the big class A division were reported to be the Windward and Novia Del Mar, in that order, while Nalu II, Newport Harbor, led in class B, and Altura and Carousel were first and sec ond in class C.

The Pelicans hit at a hot .444 from the field and had quarterly gaps of 12 to 5, 26 to 9 and 41 to 16. Coach Don Megale kept his Pel gang hustling through the evening and the KF club spoil ed the Comet full court press defense by going around it. Pel defense limited the Cra ter offense to a meager 26 shots and eight field buckets. Glenn Moore and Dave Rob inson of Klamath headed Pel scoring with 15 points.

Levene, who flew in from London Saturday, wants Pat terson to defend in London's huge Wembley stadium in late June or early July. But Levene and newspaper men, who accompanied him to Patterson's camp, were sur prised to find Floyd in the midst of serious training for an unannounced United States fight that apparently would be staged in late February or March.

The Paulina catch of 71,- 800 trout by some 21,600 ang lers was also the second high est catch on record, being ex ceeded only by the 1956 catch by about 1,000 fish. More than 85 per cent of the fish . taken at East lake ranged in the 8 to 12 inch class. About 5 per cent ranged over that length and the re mainder under 8 inches. About 66 per cent of the fish at Paulina ranged from 8 to 12 inches, 25 per cent in the 6 to 8 inch class, and about 9 per cent over 12 inches.

The popular bonus choice, whereby the teams drew from a hat and the winner had its choice of any player in the college market before the regular draft rotation be gan, was started 12 seasons back. A teeam winning once was eliminated from future draws. The bonus pick com pleted its course when the Chicago Cardinals, the last "lucky picker," was the only non-winner left last fall. "What will be considered is a bonus choice to the team with the lowest percentage in the standings," Bell ex plained. "Once they get their choice, they are eliminated until every team gets a bonus pick. "For instance, if team A has a .400 percentage next year, and gets the bonus, and ends with the low percentage the following year, it doesn't get the pick. The team with the next lowest percentage would get it." Bell explained the drawing from the hat held too much of a lottery suggestion to be palatable to the congressional overseers.
