10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, January 11, 1959 Black Tornado Cagers Whip Crater 60-37 in SO Circuit SOUTHERN OREGOV CONFERENCE STANDINGS W L, Grants Pass 3 0 Med ford 1 1 Klamath Falls 1 1 Crater 1 2 Ashland 0 2 Pet. 1.000 .500 3no .333 .000 Storming out from the sec ond half tip-off to dominate the tangle, the Medford Black Tornado overpowered Crater high at Central Point Friday night to break into the vic tory column of Southern Or egon conference basketball. The score was 60 to 37. Medford ran into stubborn resistance during most of the first two quarters and the Comets fought the Tornado on about even terms. But, Crater defense crumbled in the third stanza before the " persevering pressure of a rampaging and hot shooting Medford attack. And, Med ford stiffened with on-the-ball opposition to give the home club few good shots. The Tor nado also took command of the backboards in the second half. Stellar labors under the backboards by Jerry Ander son and George Koch, the feeding and floor play of John Harvey and Ken Durkee and the ballhawking and driving of the Tornado cagers almost to a man manufactured a vic tory which gave Medford a 6-1 record for the still young season. Anderson Has 17 Anderson topped all point getters with 17 while Koch ' and Booth Deakins added 10 each in the Medford cause. Bill White, the Comet stal wart under the backboards, was high scorer for his team with eight and his brother, Tom, rang in seven. Medford pulled into a tie for second spot in the confer ence standings with Klamath Falls with the verdict. Crater slipped into fourth position in the loop. Grants Pass con tinued its unbeaten status in the circuit by beating Ash land 64 to 37 on Friday, leav ing Ashland alone in the cel lar. Firing a scorching .545 from the field, the Black Tornado ran up 24 field goals 'In 44 attempts while limiting the Comets to nine buckets for the game in 29 tries for .310. .Crater was held without a point from the field in the final stanza after dropping in three in each of the other quarters. MHS Spurts Away Four baskets in a row as the third quarter got into swing enabled the Tornado to full away from the Comets and Medford went on to out score the Central Pointers 20 to 10 in the chukker for a 43 to 27 bulge. Score after one quarter of play was 13 to 8 and halftime status was 23 to 17. After the Tornado had run up its first quarter edge, the Medfordites seemed to be on EQUIP NOW.'

A jumper by Tom White and a short hook by Bill White sliced the Medford gap to 13 to 12. Durkee tallied off an Anderson assist but Den nis Pfaff of Crater hit two free markers for 15 to 14. An derson came back with free shots on two trips to the foul line and Don Peek hit a long push and gift tally for Med ford lead of 20 to 14. Tom White got a gifter and Wayne Allen a jump shot for Crater for 20 to 17. However, a Booth Deakins shot from the side and an Anderson free point took the score to the halftime situation. 25 Point Bulge Anderson started the third session with a jumper at the side of the key slot. Deakins dumped in a rebound and a pusher and Anderson tallied on a feed by Durkee for 31 to 17. Medford's biggest spread was 25 points at 56 to 31 with USC Seeks To Clear Penalties Los Angeles-flJPB-The Uni versity of Southern California made it clear Saturday it would sek a reconsideration of the heavy two year cham pionship ban imposed on the Trojan athletic teams for al leged recruiting irregulari ties. Dr. Norman Topping, presi dent of USC, wired new NCAA President H. J. Dor ricott immediately after his election Frday that the step would be taken. "The Unversity of South ern California, in the interests of fairness, intends to seek a reconsideration of the un necessarily heavy sanctions imposed by the previous coun cil," said Topping. Four Points Given He said the reconsideration would be based on four points, which he said were: "Severity of penalties with respect to infractions, minor in character according to the NCAA as reported in the press. Denial of our request for a delay in action until the April meeting of the NCAA as re ported in the press. "Insufficient time allowed us to review and respond to summary of evidence received on Jan. 5. "Apparently no considera tion given to affirmative steps taken by this university since September, 1958, to assure full compliance with the NCAA code." SAFE OWING LATER!

Tornadoes took the lead permanently when Lowell Dean scored with an assist by Durk.ee for 6 to 4 with slight ly more than three minutes played in the game. First half rebounding ac tivity was close. The Tornado had a 13 to 12 margin for the opening two periods and headed 33 to 21 for the game. Crater played the entire fourth quarter without the services of its tallest starters, Bill White and John Burns. They fouled out in the last minute of the third quarter. Medford's Lowell Dean was whistled for three personal in fractions in the first quarter. The wide margin built up enabled Medford Coach Frank Roelandt to utilize his bench and all 15 squad members got to see some action before the final buzzer. Coach Don Anie lak used 10 Comet players. Medford junior varsity also won by going away in the second half. The junior Tor nado tipped Crater 37 to 23 after a 20 to 16 halftime advantage.

Linfield took a 24-23 lead midway in the first half on Riley's jumper and never trailed thereafter. Whitman had led at one point, 19-9. One American in 16 has some form of mental disease. k TJNHELD BALL - From the pile-up on the floor and referee Bob Colley's signal, the idea is gained here that a football game is in progress and that a touchdown has been scored. However, the collection of players resulted in a scramble for the ball in the Medford-Crater high basketball brush at Central Point Friday. The ball is barely visible, by itself, between referee and May 30 Trout Season Start Tentative for Rogue River General trout season for the Rogue river and its tribu taries during 1959 will run from May 30 through Oct. 4, according to the tentative regulations drawn up Friday by the Oregon state game commission after a hearing in Portland. Lake of the Woods, Squaw lake and Willow creek reser voir, however, would open to angling five weeks earlier on April 25. Another hearing will be held on Jan. 23 in Portland to hear suggestions and objec tions. Final regulations will be drawn up after this hear ing. Angling for trout not less than six inches long would be permitted on the Rogue above the mouth of Mule creek. Below Mule creek on the main river, the eight inch legal size would still pre vail. Sleelhead Fishing While angling would close above the Shady Cove bridge on the Rogue on Oct. 4,sea son would be open for steel head, 12 inches and over, from that bridge down stream from Oct. 5 through Nov. 30, according to the commission's tentative rules. Also steel head, not less than 12 inches long, could be taken from the Rogue below the mouth of Mule creek from Oct. 5 through Feb. 28, 1960. Winter steelhead season would be as usual Jan. 15 to Feb.-15 below the mouth of the Applegate river with the 12-inch limit with the season on the Applegate below the mouth of Little Applegate Jan. 15 through Feb. 28.

The proposed May 30 open ing of trout season for coastal streams and in lakes in na tional forest boundaries in the Cascades is a week later than last year. However, the Oct. 18 closings where they apply to mountain lakes would be about two weeks later than for 1958. Dodgers Plan To Change Field Los Angeles - ITJPD - The Los Angeles Dodgers can't do anything about that notorious left-field foul line in Memo rial Coliseum, but they do have plans to cut down the distance in faraway right field, it was disclosed Satur day. While the stronger right handed pull hitters make hay by poking the ball into the left field stands last year, such sluggers as Duke Snider had trouble buying home runs in right field. Drawings of the new right field barrier are only tenta tive, but they represent def inite Dodger plans to have a playing field more along the lines of other National league teams-at least as the Coli seum permits. About 85 per cent of the people of Pakistan are illiter May 30 to Oct. 18 season would apply to Diamond and Fish lakes and Howard Prairie reservoir. Fish lake and Howard Prairie waters were stocked with rainbow trout late last year. Stocking followed trout fish eradica tion at Fish lake.

The trout season opener would be May 30 in all coast al zones under the tentative rules to allow a greater es capement of downstream mi grant salmon and steelhead youngsters.

After the game Oregon State Head Coch Slats Gill said: "I thought our boys all did a real good job tonight. We handled the ball better than we did in our game with the Trojans at Corvallis.
