Medford High school's bas- ' ketball aggregation blazed . that impression Friday night when it launched its new " season on the court by ramb ling over Marshfield of Coos Bay. Aggressive and hustling f all the way, the Tornado hoop . men subdued the Pirates of the Oregon coast 64 to 48. That the Medfordites stood a good chance of beating the Buccaneers had been recog' nized but not by so sub stantial a margin. With its ballhawking, edge i n retrieving rebounds and forceful defense, the Black Tornado never trailed during the evening. Jerry S h u 1 1 driver-under shot two minutes into the action put Medford on top 4 to 2. The Tornado stayed in front the rest of the way, leading 15 to 11, 33 to 25 and 52 to 34 at the quar terly intermissions. Balanced Effort A balanced team effort pay ed off for the Pear city club Jerry Anderson led the Med ford scoring with 13 markers and George Koch was the main rebounder with 15 re trieves. Clever - driving Gary Rossi of Marshfield was high point -getter of the evening with 14. The Pirate's sky- scraping Mel Counts, 6-9, in . action for about half the ; game, had 12 markers. Marshfield was in conten tion in the skirmish until Medfor-d zipped to the 18 point gap in the third quarter. The Pirates did make a bid to overcome this spread during a Tornado lapse in the open ing moments of the final per iod, cutting the margin to 10 counters. Medford then got in stride and had an 18-point budge in the final minute of the fracas. Coach Frank Roelandt of Medford started with a tall combination of Anderson, Lowell Dean and Koch, 6-3, and Shults and Booth Deak ins, 6-2 and the Tornado used this all-around edge in height to advantage in the early go ing. However, Medford main tained its command just as well when the shorter play ers, Ken Durkee and John Harvey, came into the con test.

Koch had the main task of holding him in check. Medford did not face the tall Counts at his best, just the same. The elongated play er, who may attain a height of seven feet, in suffering from his growth with pains in the spinal region. That his ail ment affected his playing, his shooting and his rebounding, was clearly noticeable. Marsh field will be a team to be reckoned with when Counts returns to top physical con dition. Closest the Pirates came to overtaking Medford after the first quarter was in the sec ond stanza, after a 19 to 14 gap was whitled down to one point at 20 to 19. Anderson put in a field goal and a free shot for Medford and Harvey two gifters for 25 to 19. Counts tallied two free points for Marshfield. But Anderson stole the ball under the hoop and dumped in a shot and Deakins hit from the circle for 29 to 21. Durkee Long Set Shot Counts plopped a rebound but Anderson fed Deakins for a close in shot. Rossi swished a long one hander for Marsh field but Durkee s long set shot at the buzzer made it 33 to 25 at the half. Anderson hit close for Med ford at the outset of the third quarter but Counts' free shot and Bob Eddys fielder cut the margin to seven points at as to 28. The Tornado ouiu up its .18-point spread from that Doint with Koch. Harvey, Durkee, Shults and Dean all scoring and wnn jjean put ting in the last three iieio goals of the period. Two free casts and a field bucket by Rossi, a pair oi charity throws by Walt Hunt er and a fielder by Laurance Eickworth made the score 52 to 42 as Medford went with out a point in the first 334 minutes of the fourth panel. Koch's pusher, Harvey's dnv-1 er and Anderson's close in goal widened the Medford distance to 58 to 52 stemming the Pirate hopes. The (Whites topped the Blacks 34 to 30 in the Med ford junior varsity prelim with Jim Barry collecting eight points for the Blacks and Jerry Winetrout and Paul Moore of the Whites each tab ulating six.

Wood accounted for all but one of Oklahoma State's 15 points as he burst 17 yards off tackle on the second play of the second period for the first touchdown, bucked over from the one foot line in the third period, and took a pass from quarterback Dick Soer gel for their two point conver sion. End Jim Wood, no rela tion, booted the conversion after the first Cowpoke touch down. The Cowboys played pound ing, possession football for the most part, sending Wood, Jim Wiggins and fullback Tom Campbell driving inside and outside the tackles to beat down the vastly outweighed Seminoles. Florida State displayed a daring and determined of fense, but it failed to click until the final period when quarterback Joe Majors, mid dle brother of the famous Ten nessee football family, came in to throw a 38-yard scoring pass to halfback Carl Meyers. After that, the Cowboys took control. A pass from Soergel to Wiggins carried them 31 yards to the Seminole 22 on the final play of the first period, and two plays la ter Wood streaked off tackle for his first touchdown.

Paid attendance was an nounced as 50,797 which fell short of -the Junior Rose Bowl record of 57,132 in 1955. Both teams seemed to have trouble getting started in the first period and it was not un til late in the second quarter that Santa Monica managed to put on a scoring drive, largely on the running of Lloyd Winston, a 6 foot 1 inch 212-pound halfback from Merced, Calif., who is headed for the University of South ern California. After an exchange of punts late in the first quarter, the Corsairs started on their own 38-yard line and went 62 yards in 12 plays for their first of four touchdowns. The longest scoring play in this series was a 23-yarder which was strictly a gamble by Corsair quarterback Pat Young. On fourth down with two yards to go on the Okla homa 42-yard line, Young chose to run the ball. He cleared the line of scrimmage around right end and then lat- eralled to Winston who went all the way down to the Ok lahoma 19. On the next play Winston made a great catch of Young's low pass to put the ball on the 13. Two plays later Winston plunged over center for one yard and the touchdown. Young passed to his favor ite target, Winston, for a" two point conversion.
