The Lithia city quint quiet ed a threatening Tornado storm in the early fourth quar ter, weathered a pressing Med ford defense and packaged the scoring efforts of Jack Tobias son, Bill Maurer, Scott Peter son and Albert Hartwell to drop the Pear city aggrega tion by the comfortable mar gin of 56 to 43. By splitting the two-game week end engagement, the Ashlanders made it three vic tories in four tangles this sea son with the Black Tornado. Both clubs are still in the run ning for the District 6 A-l spot and a trip to the state tournament to Eugene. But the objective looms more difficult for the Grizzlies who have just two more hassles in the circuit. They are still a full game back of currently third running Medford, which has four conference encount ers yet on its slate. Medford Versus GP Medford with its 42 to 40 Friday verdict and Ashland by the Saturday win each gained a notch on Grants Pass, the present second place holder. Klamath Falls rapped the Cavemen 70 to 61 Friday and 79 to 58 Saturday to capture the conference diadem. The Tornado carries its challenge directly against Grants Pass on the coming week end while Ashland has a bye. Klamath will complete its regular season by skirmish ing Crater at Central Point. ' Saturday's game at Ash land began in reverse order to the one Friday at Medford. The Black Tornado took the opening lead. Ashland was never more than four points down, however, and the Grizzlies tied up the ruckus at 4, 6, 11, 12 and 14-all. With 3' minutes 19 seconds left to play in the first half, Bob Johnson made it 15 to 14 with a free shot. The Ashlanders stayed in front the rest of the evening, stretching to 21 to 14 before Medford tallied again. Halftime count was 23 to 16. Lead Hacked To 39-37 After the Lithians had out pointed the Tornado 15 to 6 in the second quarter, the third session was contested on imrt oven terms. Medford cut the Ashland gap to three points at 26 to 23 and 29 to 26 Nevertheless, the Grizzlies nosed their guests it the period for 37 to 29 edge at rest-time. Tr Hamlin BOt two field goals for Medford in the first 45 seconds of ine lasi t i, Trhiann hooked a shot for Ashland but Jerry Ander son and John ironnmayei v, nt in a Dair of gifters. cavil y - , That cut the Ashland spread to a mere 39 to 37. ive min utes 19 seconds remained in the game. ' That was all of the Medford scoring for 31 i minutes. In the meantime Hartwell and Peterson, plunked field goals, Tobiasson a " field shot and three free throws and Maurer two gift tosses. That took the Ashland lead to 50 to 37 and put the Grizzlies out of reach Delany Won't Run Mile This Saturday Night New York (IP The indoor mile brigade will get two races rather than the usual one Saturday night at Madi son Square Garden and Ron Delany will be there. Yet you can bet the rent money that he won't win either mile. That may sound like heresy since Delany, a Villanova senior from Ireland, has won 24 straight races indoors, in cluding 21 miles. Last Satur day night, he won the nation al AAU indoor mile for the third straight year in four minutes, 3.7 seconds, only one-tenth of a second off the world indoor ,'fecord. Actually, Delany won't win a mile this week because he won't run in any. Villanova, hoping to keep its IC4A team title, will have Ron try to re peat his 1957 IC4A double victory in the 1000 and two mile runs. He won each comfortably last year with one hour be tween races. He is favored to do it again, even though he will have only 35 minutes of rest this time.

"Pascual has worn himself out pitching in winter ball the last two years," explained Griffith. "This year we paid him a handsome bonus not to pitch and we're confident it will pay off." Gels Mad N "I should win 15 games if I can control my temper," ex plained Camilo in broken English. "In past, I breeze along okay for four or five innings but get mad when they hit me a little bit. Then they hit me a lot." Pascual, a 5-10, 175-pound-er, had 4.09 earned run aver age in 1957, but throws low fast stuff that rival managers believe would make him a big winner with a contender.
