MAIL TRIBUNE, Merffard, Oregon, Monday, Ptbruary 2, 1959 Tornado Holds Off Cavemen; Heads Loop at Midway Point SOUTHER OREGON CONFERENCE STANDINGS ' W It Med ford 7 1 Klamath Falls S 2 Grants Pas 5 3 Crater 2 6 Ashland 0 8 Pet. .875 .750 .625 50 .000 Halfway point in 1959 Southern Oregon conference basketball has been reached with Medford high occupying the top rung of the ladder. Flashing its class in spurts, exercising 2 to 1 control of the backboards and meshing points when they were need ed to keep a jump or, two ahead, the Black Tornado overcame a plucky and fight ing Grants Pass aggregation, 59 to 54, here Saturday eve ning to maintain its sole lead ership in the circuit. Klamath Falls kept just a game behind the Tornado. The defending state and dis trict champion Pels tripped Ashland 64 to 30 on Saturday. Grants Pass in bowing to Medford fell into third spot two games off the leader's pace. A GP victory would have created a three-way knot for the top position. As it was Saturday, the Cavemen were a threat all the way to create that dead lock. Second half of action saw Medford alternately build up fair-sized margins and Grants Pass rise to shrink them down. The Clim ate city quint was still bid ding strong at the concluding horn. At GP on Friday And Grants Pass is looking forward to taking up next Fri day on its home f.oor where it left off Saturday n;$M in Medford.

Koch cr:eJ 13 ir.d had 12 re trieves to ra-e Mediord con trol of tie boards. With his fine Uo-ui work Koch had six field soals in 10 tries and Peek flicked the mesh in eight of nine free toss chanc es. Dean had seven rebound picks and Booth Deakins six. Johnnie Olson with 22 points and Rex Benner with his spectacular jump shooting and 20 markers were the chief reasons Grants Pass made a battle of it. Benner, scoring mainly with his deadly jump er, pumped through 10 of 19 field goal tries. Olson had six field buckets in 12 attempts and hit 10 of 11 from the gifter stripe. .The Cavemen, using a slick weaving set-em up offense, took fewer shots from the field but fired with -more ac curacy than did Medford. The Tornado, however, recorded more goals. GP put in 18 of 40 for .450 and Medford 21 of 54 from .388. Peek's Shot Gives Load Peek's goal from the side off a rebound for 17 to 16 three minutes into the second quarter put the Black Tor nado permanently out in front. Medford pushed out to an 11-point advantage at 29 to 18 and led by 10, at 31 to 21, at half time. Grants Pass hacked the difference down one marker, at 31 to 30, when the third period got into mo tion. The Tornado stretched back to eight, at 41 to 33, saw the spread narrow to 41 to 38 and then cashed in on free shots for 46 to 39 at the No. 3 intermission. Medford took a nine-point lead at 48 to 39 when Peek scored off the fourth quarter tip off. After a free toss by Peek and three by Rick Sabin of Grants Pass the margin was 49 to 42. Olson hit for the Cavemen off a feed as he swung across the key slot, cutting Tornado edge to five markers, at 49 to 44. But Dean flipped in three free heaves and Koch a push goal from the side for Med ford while Olson sank a pair of gifters for the Cavemen. That made it 54 to 46. Ben ner drove along the base line for a GP fielder but Ken Durkee plopped a free mark er for Medford and Koch tipped the ball through the hoop when Durkee missed his second foul shot. That re stored a nine-counter gap for Medford, 57 to 48, with 2V4 minutes left to play.

Death Ends Career of Will Hoppe By ANDREW J. REESE JR. Miami ITD- Willie Hoppe, undisputed king of billiards, died in a sun-lit hospital room Sundstv after personally will ing his m-gic cue sticks to a friend of by-son years, liopp. 71. ruled the bil iiards world during the "gol den era ot spom. tie won 51 world chuvtpioi;ships dur ing 4.T glory-packed years. Death came in a fourth Coor room bathed in late afternoon sunshine. His doc tors said he apparently was the victim of a gastric hemor rhage, but he had been ill for vears and was hospitalized since Sept. 18 following a heart attack. Hands Shaky, Unsteady Businessman Albert Hoppe of Miami, his brother, said the colorful billiards ace seemed in good spirits Satur day, but took a turn for the worse that night. One of his last visitors was Sidney May er of Chicago, a road paving firm executive and a friend of 'years. "He told me he didn't think he would be able to handle a cue stick again," Mayer said. "He said he wanted me to have them." The body will be sent to Philadelphia for burial at White Marsh Memorial Park. Services will be held either Wednesday or Thursday at St. Johns Roman Catholic church. In addition to his brother, survivors include a son, William F., Jr. of Son ora, Calif., and a daughter, Alice, also in California. Hoppe won his first world's title in 1906, dethroning Mau rice Vignaus, known as the "lion of France," at Paris. He won his last in 1952, when he captured the three-cushion world crown at San Francisco.

Howe earned a "newspaper decision" on the basis of most damage inflicted. He came out of the fight unmarked but bloodied Fontinato's face and broke the Ranger defense man's nose. The fight broke out in the first period of a game won by the Rangers 5-4. Fonti nato became enranged when he felt Howe was picking on New York rookie Eddie Shack. In Sunday night's other league action, three goals by Guy Gendron helped the Bos ton Bruins to a 6-4 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ed Litzenberger's two goals carried the Chicago Black Hawks to a 3-3 stand off against the Montreal Canadiens. AMERICAN LEAGUE United Press International Five straight victories, in cluding a pair during the week end, gave the streaking Buffalo Bisons a comfortable seven-point lead in the Amer ican Hockey League race today.

Hayes added a pair of charity shots for the Cavemen. Score was 57 to 52. Dean missed a free shot for Medford with 44 seconds left but potted a re bounder in the melee under the hoop. Olson tallied the last GP basket with some thing around a half-minute to go. Medford took the opening lead in the game, getting a 10 to 2 hop. However, the Cavemen closed to 11 to 9 with Benner getting a couple of his jumpers. Rodger Bur ton hit to tie the fray and added a free tally for Grants Pass edge of 12 to 11 at the quarter. A long Benner Jump made it 14 to 11, Koch contributed a tip-in for Medford and Ben ner still another" jumper for 16 to 13. Peek then tabulated on a work-in move for Med ford and came 1V4 minutes later with the goal that gave the Tornado its front-running status for keeps. Down to 31 to 30 Benner contributed two of the shots, Sabin and Olson each one and Oison a free shot which sliced the score down to 31 to 30 at the begin ning of the second half.
