Black Tornado Whirls 64-48
Over Pirates in Cage Opener
; Real potential is there and,
with the polish anticipated in
'. remaining pre-league groom
; ing, the Black Tornado should
" be a strong contender for
1959 Southern Oregon confer
- ences laurels.
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. Counts Ailing

most of the duty for Medford
and their aggressive zeal was
of particular help after Marsh
field's Counts came into the
line-up late in the first quar
ter. 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.

homa State's hard-riding band
of Cowboys, led by halfback
Duane Wood, bucked their
way to a pair of touchdowns,
then turned back a last-period
passing threat to beat Florida
State, 15-6, Saturday on a
frozen field in the first Blue
Grass Bowl football game.
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.
The Cowpokes wrapped it
up late in the third period.

ern Oklahoma A&M by a 30-
12 score Saturday in the 13th
annual Junior' Rose Bowl
game which was dull in the
first half but erupted in a
wild and wooly affair in the
second half.
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.
