S MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Monday, January 26, 195 Black Tornado Hoopsters Ramble Over Crater 78-50 SOt'THERV OREGON CONFERENCE STANDINGS Medford S 1 Grants Pas . 5 2 Klamath Falli 4 2 Crater 2 5 Ashland 0 6 Prt. .833 .714 .667 .268 .000 It could be said wtihout fear of contradiction after the Medford high basketball team suppressed the Crater Com ets here Saturday night that the Black Tornado won in a breeze. Accelerated chiefly by their big men, the Tornadoes piled up an early and substantial bulge and never seriously were pressured as they whirl ed 78 to 50 over the Comets of Central Point in a South ern Oregon conference tussle. Medford with the triumph retained its half-game leader ship in the District 6 A-l chase over the Grants Pass Cavemen who on Saturday dashed Ashland 55 to 28. The Tornado verdict was its 10th in 11 games this season. Jerry Anderson ran up 26 points for Medford and Low ell Dean 21 for the top scor ing laurels. Wayne Allen pot ted 20 for the Comets. Dean, Anderson and George Koch Cubs Potential 1st Division Ball Club (This is the 11th of 16 dis patches by the major league managers giving mid-winter appraisals of their learns.) By BOB SCHEFFING Manager. Chicago Cubs (Written for UPI) , Scottsdale, Ariz. -(UPD- The - Chicago Cubs haVe first divis ion potential, and we almost made it last year. I'm not predicting anything for the 1959 season, but I wouldn't be surprised if we're among the first four teams, es pecially if injuries don't plague our young, but promis ing pitching staff. What hurt us last year, when we were going pretty good, only two and one-half games out of the lead on July 18th, was the arm-injury to one of our top righthanded pitchers, Moe Drabowsky. He didn't pitch again, and we slid out of the role of pennant challenger into the second di vision. I'm told he's ready again, but we're bringing him to spring camp early to have a good look at him. "We've been coming up a little bit each season. We tied with the Cardinals for fifth last year, finished seventh the year before. That's not bad progress on our rebuilding timetable, since three seasons ago the Cubs were last. Have Young Pitchers We don't have any trades cooking, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't make a deal or two to get a seasoned pitcher to go along with our youngsters. There's only one of the pitching youngsters ov er 24, and that's Dave Hill man. Drabowsky, Dick Drott, Glen Hobbie, our top winner vT last year, Bob Anderson, Hill man, Taylor Phillips and Johnny Briggs offer a good group to select the starters from, and we've got Don Els ton back for relief. In Ernie Banks, the Cubs have the National league's most valuable player and top slugger. For my money, he's the best in baseball. He does everything well, but because of the way he swings that bat, many fans forget he's a fine fielding shortstop too. Bobby Thomson, Lee Walls, and Walt Moryn certainly came through for us in the outfield last year, each of them hitting more than 20 homers. Dark Looks Ready Al Dark looks like he's got a lot of baseball left in him at third base. He got in 140 games last year, hit near .300, and did a real job for us. Wildlife Group Against Merger Corvallis -(UPD- The Oregon Wildlife federation Sunday adopted a resolution opposing merger of the State Fish and 2 Game commissions into a sin- gle agency. - A bill introduced in the le- - gislature would combine the 2 two groups. - A resolution was passed Z asking the ways and means " committee to restore the Orfr - gon Game commission's bud 2 get as submitted but one seek ; ing similar action on the Ore Z gon Fish commission budget ; was voted down. Charles Stanton of Roseburg ; protested that the Fish com ; mission, which handles com 1 mercial regulations, devoted most of its efforts to the Co . . lumbia river system. with 11, 10 and 10 retrieves were the powers under the backboards for Medford and Koch contributed some spar kling scoring assistance along with his own nine counters. A steady, hard playing work er for Crater was John Burns who put in five field buckets for his team. .466 From Field The Black Tornado fired a torrid .466 with 30 field goals in 65 attempts and collected on 18 of their 27 free heave chances. In clearing the glass when shots were missed Med ford piled up a 48 to 23 ad vantage. Anderson's long push put the Tornado on the scoreboad in the opening seconds of play and Medford had run up 18 points by the time Loyal Hig inbotham gained Crater's first two points on free casts with just over five minutes con tended in the game. The Tornado led 22 to 4 at the quarter and with Ander son, Koch, Jerry Shults and Calvin Dean connecting had a 22-point 37 to 15 margin with two minutes left in the first half. Allen plunked two Tony Taylor, a rookie last year, is back at second base, and Dale Long is at first, sup ported by Jim Marshall, whom we bought from Balti more last August. Catching are Cal Neeman and Sammy Taylor. Last year they traded the catching du ties just about evenly, with Taylor, a left-handed hitter, in the lineup against righthand ed pitchers. I say all these fellows add up to a potentially tough ball club, because they've proven they can win. If we could have added the last half of the 1957 season to the first half of last season, we'd have a pennant winning percent age. - Now, if we can make both halves of one season tough, we'll be in good shape.

The Canadiens opened a 16 point eight-game lead on the field by whipping the Detroit Red Wings, 7-3, Sunday night after rolling to a 3-1 victory over the New York Rangers Saturday night. In other Sunday night games the Rangers bounced back with an 8-3 triumph over Boston to tie Chicago for second place, while the Tor onto Maple Leafs beat the Black Hawks for the first time this season, 4-1.

Elsewhere in the circuit, the Cleveland Barons dropped both of their week end games, 3-1 to Springfield on Saturday and 6-3 to Providence on Sun day, but held onto their third place margin. field shots and Chuck Turner and Higinbotham hit free baskets to enable the Comets to close the deficit to 37 to 21 at the halftime buzzer. Another free tally by Higin botham just after the third canto began made it 37 to 22 but the Tornado broke away again. Anderson connected for four field goals and Lowell Dean and Koch each three in a 25-point third stanza which saw Medford run up a 31 marker spread at 62 to 31. Margin Hacked Crater flared up as the fourth quarter opened and Allen boomed in three field goals and Burns one to cut the difference to 62 to 39. After a Ken Durkee free marker for Medford and another Burns fielder the Medford edge was down to 22 points at. 63 to 41. But the Comets couldn't come any closer and the Tornado widened back to 30 points at 78 to 48. The comfortable leads built up in the first and third quar ters allowed Medford Coach Frank Roelandt to make con siderable use of non-starters in both the second and fourth periods. Crater had scoring edges of 17 to 15 and 19 to 16 in the second and fourth. Anderson put in 10 field goals in 17 tries and Lowell Dean eight of 13. At the free stripe Andy had six of seven and Dean five of seven. Cra ter's Allen gunned eight for 19 from the field.

The openers in the Pacific Northwest will be played May 3 at Vancouver, Seattle, Portland and Spokane.

The season will be 154 games. In the same way, Phoenix will be away from home dur ing most of the month of August when temperatures soar to 110 degrees in this capital city.
