The Tornado's third unit took over for the entire fourth quarter. Quartet Sparks But Medford did not get going in the scuffle until coach Frank Roelandt sub stituted a quartet of non starters, Jerry Shults, Ken Durkee, John Harvey and Cal vin Dean. They went in 4 minutes into the game and Medford moved out after they became warmed to the task. The Tornado had bulges of 9 to 4, 31 to 8 and 51 to 20 at the quarters. Jerry Anderson of Medford and Bob Johnson of Ashland were high point men with 12 apiece and Ken Durkee was next with 10 for the Tor nado. Each team had trouble breaking through the other's defenses in the early portion and no field goal was tallied in the first 73A minutes of the tangle. Bob Johnson dropped in a free shot in the opening seconds for the Grizzlies. Then George Koch countered for the Tornado. Next score was a gifter by Shults with three minutes left in the quarter. Doug Forrest tied the tiff at 2-all and John Harvey made it 3 to 2 for Medford with a free marker. Cal Dean Scores First field bucket came when Cal Dean busted up an Ashland pass. Harvey re covered the ball and passed to Dean who tabulated off the fast break. Jerry Anderson then goaled for Medford on a feed shot.

Nick Kozak, the Canadian flash, will tangle with big Karl von Himmler in the top half of the program. Kozak made a hit with the fans last week and showed his training by Frank Stojack when he al most singlehandedly won the tag match by downing Him mler and Sasaki both with airplane spins. What Nick lacks in weight against the big German he will make up for with his speed and cleverness. Himm ler plans to use the headbutt to advantage. Francis Billed The opening one hour match will pit . northwest heavyweight champion Gen tleman Ed Francis against an up and coming youngster, Don Manoukian. Francis appeared here about a year ago. He has been pack ing the arenas all over .the northwest with his aggressive and rugged ability. Manouki an was a football star at Stan ford university. He was voted the "top lineman" award in the 1957 East - West Shrine game and was also a top wrestler at Stanford.

The Grizzlies had only nine field buckets for the contest. Seven Tornadoes had a hand in the scoring in the 22-point second quarter with Ander son cashing in for seven of the total. Ashland scoring picked up in the third quarter but be fore the Tornado was far out of danger.

Another 20 to 12 Medford's advantage in the final panel also was 20 to 12 with the Grizzlies never get ting closer than 29 tallies and pulling away to the 39 spread in a rush at the finish.

One of the biggest trades of the off-season Friday night sent homer-hitting Frank Thomas, outfielders J'o h n Powers and Jim Pendleton and pitcher Whammy Doug las to the Redlegs in exchange for catcher Smokey Burgess, infielder Don Hoak and pitch er Harvey Haddix. Redleg general manager Gabe Paul pointed out that the acquisition of Thomas, who hit 35 homers for the Pi rates last season, gives Cin cinnati the right-handed long- ball hitter it needs w hi 1 e Pittsburgh general manager Joe Brown said the deal "strengthens what we thought were weak spots' on our club."

Moore, Irvin Head Butte Falls players Darwin Moore and Jim Irwin, despite being members of the low standing team, continued in the scoring leadership of the Southern Oregon Independent Basketball league in eames through Jan. 26.

Dave Gardner, Southern Oregon college jayvee, and Bob Serak, Hawkinson Tire Tread service, are tied for third in points with 105 each..

The Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia river is the world's largest concrete dam. Fanfare Is the Medford Police Ath letic league finished? Latest indications are that it may be unless some positive action is taken soon. And it seems a shame. Chief of Police Charles Champlin, president of PAL, reported that the gymnasium upstairs at 6 West Sixth st. has been closed at least tem porarily by the organization. The reasons: Lack of interest and shortage of funds. Chief Champlin stated that, if suf ficient interest is not devel oped soon, the closure will become permanent. The lack, of interest is among the older boys of the community and among men who might assist with club activities and by the public. PAL, coach Jim Zack report ed that there is still a good number of the younger boys interested in the gym facil ities but few of the older ones turned out when the gym reopened after the Christmas holidays. And, Zack did not have the help of another adult to supervise other ac tivities while he worked with youths interested in boxing. The gym shut down on Jan. 14. OLDER BOYS NEEDED Shortage of older boys since the first of the year ties in with the financial woes of . the club. PAL needs these youths to par ticipate in its amateur fight cards which have provided funds for club operation. Trips for participation in matches outside this area are incentive to these boys PAL recently received sev eral invitations to enter boys in bouts but has not had the money to send them. MEETING PLANNED Some sort of campaign to rekindle interest and some sort of project to provide funds are the immediate needs if PAL is to pay its current bills and keep going. Champ lin said a PAL board meet ing is to be called shortly to discuss the problem. Perhaps, some sort of smoker using the younger boys and other recruited talent, would be a means of starting a revital izing campaign. One PAL official said it was felt that the younger boys are not sufficient draw ing card. Another pointed to the lack of a suitable arena as a handicap in presenting PAL boxing shows. The old Medford armory, the former Merrick's arena and, for a period, the Esquire theater were set up for such shows. It was thought that the- new Medford armory would simi larly be set up but its facil ities have proved a big dis appointment so far. ROLE IN COMMUNITY Chief Champlin has ex pressed his personal feeling that the "Pal club" has had a role in the community in steering boys along more honorable and wholesome paths. "I wish . we could spark this thing up," he remarked. "I hate to see it close. I think the thing is good and (other) people think the thing is good but it's a matter of making the effort." He declared that PAL is undergoing a "pe riod of discouragement." ZACK PRAISED The chief of police praised the efforts of the PAL coach, stating that "Jim Zack is re sponsible for the thing run ning as long as it has." Zack is supposed to be -getting a salary but most of his time '53 to CRATER Main & Fir Sts. SD50 'WHERE GOOD SERVICE IS By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor has been donated in recent months. He reportedly has re ceived one month's salary for four nights per week he has spent on the job. OPEN TO ALL PAL's value is that it has performed a function which other community organiza tions have either shunned or forsaken in providing recrea tion for boys.. Membership for youths of the vicinity has been free, opening PAL to every bojr who wanted to join. Zack said he would like to see the club expanded to include a variety of sports, among them Softball and lit tle league baseball, the year abound. Such a program, as the writer sees it, is, however, too big for PAL and will not come about until the. City of Medford goes into the full time recreation business with directors and staff. The fact that the city now has a parks and recreation committee is an indication that such a pro gram eventually will be de veloped. BASKETBALL FRIDAY COLLEGE GAMES East Manhattan 75. Hofstra 69.
