S MAIL TRIBUNE. Medford, Owaii. Mendey, Jinmry 12. US Black Tornado Cage Crew Tops Ashland SOl'THFRV ORFGOV CONFERENCE STANDINGS Grants Pass . Medford Klamath Fall! Cratr Ashland W L, Pet. 3 0 1.000 2 1 .667 2 1 .667 1 3 2M 0. 3 .000 Spearheaded by the field goaling of Jerry Anderson, the rebound snaring of Low ell Dean and the all-around court play of Ken Durkee, the Medford Black Tornado whirled over the Ashland high basketball contingent 55 to 39 Saturday night in a Southern Oregon conference scuffle at the Hedrick gym. Medford never was behind In the scamper and kept in front from the mid-first quar ter on but did not get a com fortable lead and maintain it until the late third period. The Tornado widened its spread from 34 to 30 up to 43 to 31 at that stage of the joust then had a couple of advantages of 18 points in the final quarter, r Victory was Medford's sec ond against one setback in the league which corresponds to District 6 A-l. Ashland suffered its third defeat in as many conference games. . . Tornado hoopmen kept pace with Klamath Falls in a sec ond place knot. The Pelicans subdued Crater at Klamath 62 to 40. These wins kept both clubs very much in the running for the conference stakes. But Medford in parti cular comes up against a stiff test when it goes to Grants Pass who are unbeat en in the loop. Klamath Falls will vie at Ashland that same evening. Next Satuurday's scrapes will be Klamath Falls at Grants Pass and Crater at Ashland. Medford will have a bye. Tornado cagers played in consistent ball "on Saturday against the Grizzlies, getting fair margins then seeing Ash land battle back to shrink them. Yet, hot shooting and rebound control helped Med ford turn the tide. Tornado hoopsters pulled away for keeps with some fine aggres sive play under the back boards, with some alert ball hawking and with some good offensive drive and team work. Anderson swished in eight field baskets and five free heaves for 21 points to head all score-makers.. Ashland's Bob Johnson was next high with 14. Lowell Dean collected 10 rebound retrieves for Med ford and Anderson seven while Doug Forrest topped the Ashland effort with six. Durkee didn't score a point , during the evening but his play- making and scrapping for the ball were vital In the Medford verdict. Tornado Pulls Away Dean sanK a recovery shot under the hoop, Don Peek put in. a driver off a jump ball, George Koch flipped in a bucket on Dean's assist, and Anderson drove in for a shot in the rally that drew the Tornado away from the 34 to 30 status. Koch also dropped in a gifter to make the score 43 to 30. Johnson of Ashland flicked a free toss for the 43 to 31 quarter score. Dean tipped in his own re bound, and Harvey hit a close in goal for a 47 to 31 spread before the Ashlanders con nected again. Eighteen point gaps .were at 54 to 36 and 55 to 37. -There were tie scores at 2 all, 4-all and 6-all before An derson's goal put Medford ahead for good. Medford held the Grizzlies scoreless for the last four minutes of the fourth, quarter and were on top 15 to 6 at the breather. Ashland, held to only two field goals in the first quarter, put in just three in the sec ond but the Grizzlies gained nine free shots in the panel and at one time trailed Med ford only 23 to 21. Two buckets by Dean, one on a swipe and the other on a feed by Peek, a basket by Koch on Dean's assist and a free shot by Harvey took Med ford then to a 30 to 21 half time edge. Anderson made it 32 to 21 as the second half started but Forrest flipped in a drive shot, Johnson rolled in for a hook shot and Forrest again hit on a fast break for 32 to 27. An derson came back with a Med ford hook. However, a single Ion by Johnson and a brace of gifters by Jim Bjork for Ashland made the score 34 to 30. The Tornado, gunning at a .447 average, put through 21 field goals to Ashland's 10. The Grizzlies with their set 'em. up offense, had a .357 average, shooting just 28 times against the Medford de fense. Ashland led 19 to 13 in points from the free line. Medford won the junior varsity game 35 to 21 and the Tornado Wildcats beat the Ashland jayvee seconds 35 to 22. BOX: Ashland TG FT R PF TP Bjork 2-0 4-3 2 4 3 B.

The 18-year-old crewcut, who impressed Australian fans with his play here be fore the Davis Cup challenge round, had a chance for a sweep of the men's titles in the West Australian cham pionships Sunday, but he let his temper get the best of him. . . After winning the junior title on Saturday by beating Luis Arilla of Spain, Buch holz attempted to win the senior title in a match with another Spaniard 21-year- old Andres Gimeno. However, a combination of poor play, gusty winds and. a flareup over debatable linecalls proved his undoing, 6-1, 6-4, 6-3. - '7 gt- J WHOSE GOING TO GET IT?

With 54-hole scores of 205 leading the pack, they still have strong competition to fear from at least 15 others, all of whom are no worse than four strokes back. With the closely-bunched field it is posisble that a sud den death playoff will be needed to decide the winner. Right on the heels of the leaders are Jay Hebert, San ford, Fla., and the new sensa tion of the tourney trail, John McMullin, of Alameda, Calif. They have 206 totals. Three men are deadlocked with 207s: Mike Souchak, Grossinger, N.Y., Art WaU, Pocono Manor, Pa., and Mike Fetchick, Yonkers, N.Y. Jack Fleck, former National Open champion, has 208.

NCAA Rules Committee In Session Los Angeles - (UPD - The NCAA football.' committee was called, into session Here today by chairman H. O. (Fritz) Crisler to consider sev eral major changes including the possible return of the goal posts to the goal line. ' Moving the goal posts back to the end of the playing field was one of the recom mendations, discussed by the coaches at -the recent NCAA convention in Cincinnati. Among other changes that were expected to be brought up at the three-day meeting of the rules committee were some sort of liberalization of the limited substitution rule and a modification of the one arm block rule. The two-point conversion rule was expected to be dis cussed but retained by the committee. The coaches were generally in agreement that moving the goal posts to the goal line would make for a more wide open game and give the col leges something to compete with the pros. Another recommendation by the coaches to be consider ed here was to permit one player from each team to con sult with his coach during time out on the playing field.

McAndrews Road SP 2-5271 MEDFCRDtWTRIBUNB Eastern Pro Stars Dump West Eleven By ALEX KAHN Los Angeles - (UPD - If quar terback Norm Van Brocklin and Coach Jim Lee Howell wanted "revenge" they had it today in the Eastern All Stars' 28-21 pro bowl victory over the Western division football squad. Both denied following Sun day's clash before 72,250 fans in Memorial Coliseum that they sought vengeance for anything in the past. But HoweiL whose Giants lost the National Football league championship to the Colts ap peared pleased that his all star squad beat that coached by Baltimore's Weeb Ewbank. And for Van Brocklin the victory was a measure of sat isfaction since the Los An geles club was his former af filiation 5 and rumored dis agreements led to his depart ure and subsequent joining of the Eagles. Van Brocklin, who had a less than average day until the final quarter, , . finally pulled together the Eastern squad to march 70 yards chiefly on his passes for the game-winning touchdown on a 15-yard throw to end Palmer Retzleff. ! Gifford Most Valuable But Frank Gifford, who was appearing before a "home town" crowd in the stadium where he played for the Uni versity of Southern California, was chosen the game's most valuable player for his ability as a passer, runner and pass catcher, was involved in two scoring efforts to win his ac claim while Doug Atkins of the Bears was chosen the out standing linesman for his play in the West squad. Bill Wade, who had taken over as quarterback of the Rams when Van Brocklin de parted, outshone the Colts' Johnny Unitas as he passed to one touchdown and ran for another only to see the West's 21-16 lead in the final quarter fall short. In that period the East scored three points on Lou Groza's second 25-yard field goal after Walt Michaels in tercepted one of Wade's passes, scored a touchdown on Van Brocklin's passing drive and picked up a safety in the final five seconds when Hugh McElhenny was tackled in the end zone by. Tom Scott. Six Will Play , In Cal League San Francisco - (CPD - The Class C California Baseball league will operate with six teams in 1959, according to President Eddie Mulligan.
