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.

Earl Buchholz
Temper Costly
Perth, Australia - flJPD -Australian
tennis observers
were agreed today that when
young Earl Buchholz of St.
Louis learns to control his
temper he may become one
of the world's top amateurs.
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.

Don Bridges' 25 points
Willamette
Heads NWC
By United Press International
One of the favorites for the
Northwest Conference basket
ball crown is on the bottom
looking up today.
College of Idaho invaded
the Willamette valley, over
the . week end. The Coyotes
came to the valley with a 7-0
mark in pre-league play. To
day they have three defeats
for their efforts.
Willamette, thought a year
away from any title conten
tion, is on top of the NWC
with a 3-0 mark followed by
Lewis and Clark with two
wins and no defeats.
"Willamette took the mea
sure of C of I twice and
dumped Whitman once.
Whitman won its only game
Saturday night on a three
game trip. The Whits dumped
previously unbeaten Linfield,
59-57.
Willamette soundly
trounced the Coyotes Satur
day night, 65-41 and Lewis
and Clark beat Pacific 70-62
in other games. Five Bearcats
scored in double figures in the
win over College of Idaho.

Tijuana' Mexico - (UPD
Tommy Bolt and Ernie Voss
ler, engaged in a torrid battle
for the $2,800 pot of gold that
goes to the winner of the $20,
000 Tijuana ODen eolf tourna
ment, head into the final
round of competition today
still tied for the leadership.
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

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.

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.
