10 MAIL TRIBUNE, MtiM, OfM, SimJay, PtBruary t, 1939 serceley Grl Sets Wor d.n' Record Sydney, Australia - CPD -Sylvia Ruuska, of Berkeley, Calif., set a world record of two minutes, 43.3 seconds Sat urday night for the women's 220-yard butterfly event dur ing an international swim ming meet in North Sydney's 55-yard Olympic pool. Chrij Von Saltza of Santa Clara, Calif., the 15-year-old tar who is competing in Aus tralia with Miss Ruuska, led Ilsa Konrads at the halfway mark in the women's 200-yard freestyle event. But Ilsa, the 14 - year - old Australian who defeated Miss Ruuska in a 400-meter freestyle race Thursday, sprinted to win in 2:15.1. Miss Von Saltza was second in 2:18.6. A capacity crowd of 3,000 also watched Australia's John Konrads and John Devitt bet ter their own world records. Konrads won the men's 440 yard freestyle event in 4:19.0, bettering his mark of 4:20.8 for 400 meters and 440 yards. Devitt won the men's 110-yard freestyle race in 55.1 seconds, smashing his world mark of 55.2. Beats Saturday's Mark Miss Ruuska, 16, smashed the 220-yard butterfly mark of 2:43.8 set only last Satur day by Beverley Bainbridge of Australia. Miss Bainbridge was second Saturday night in 2:44.3. Miss Ruuska also bet tered the world mark of 2:40.5 for the women's 200-meter butterfly held by Nancy Ramey of Seattle, Wash. Miss Ruuska finished the first 110 yards in 1:13.3, bet tering the Australian record of 1:14.1 for the women's 110 yard butterfly held by Miss Bainbridge. Miss Von Saltza did the first 110 yards of the 220 freestyle in 63.5 seconds. Miss Kon rads was a yard behind the Californian at that point. Ilsa then unleashed a sustained sprint. She led Chris by a yard at the start of the final lap and won by three yards. "I though I was going fine but then I just seemed to peter out against Ilsa, who really is a terrific swimmer," Miss Von Saltza said. "I'll meet her again in both the 220 and 440 yards during the Australian championships at Hobart. I'll really give it a good try then." Grants Pass Spills Tornado Cagers 68-57 in SO Circuit SOUTHERN OREGON CONFERENCE STANDINGS s of Friday) W.

Just when it appeared that Medford high was finally in stride and had assumed the league command, a rousing Grants Pass Caveman effort calmed the Black Tornado, The Cavemen, determined to make this a big week end after lagging two games be hind the leader's pace, got half their aim accomplished on their home floor Friday night. With scoring aces Rex Benner and Johnnie Olson, as usual, heading the attack, the . Grants Pass aggregation xizzled to a convincing 68 to 57 triumph over Medford to tighten up the chase. Grants Pass thereby rose within a game of top position where Klamath Falls was tied with Medford after drubbing Ashland 71 to 26, also Friday. Th Cavemen were at Klam ath Falls last night. Medford suffered its second loss in 14 games this season and Grants Pass won its 10 of 15 starts. Banner Score 27 Benner was the main reason for the Black Tornado's un doing. The 6-1 GP junior, a deadly jump and push shot artist followed up a hot night Crater High Slates MH Mat Team Central Point - Crater high wrestlers will be hosts to the Medford team on Monday evening. Junior varsity tussles are billed for around 6 pjn. with varsity engagements to begin at 7 pjn. It will be the second Crafer Medford meeting of the sea son.

Olson, netting all fnine gifters that he tried, had 17 points. Re sere Calvin Dean, a ballhawk ing sparkplug, had 12 for Medford. Grants Pass busted a 2-all deadlock one minute into the tussle and led the remainder of the distance. The hustling, fired-up Climate city team pushed ahead by 10 points at one stage of the first quarter and once held 16-point ad vantage in the second period. Medford narrowed its deficit from time to time but could mount no sustained rally to overtake Cavemen, whose timely surges and counters thwarted the Tornado bids. A choking Grants Pass de fense limited the number of good shots for Medford in the early stages. And later, when the game loosened up a bit, some of the Tornado shooting was of the desperation nature. A .400 or better average club through much of the season, Medford dropped to a .317 goaling pace on Friday. Grants Pass, chiefly on the efforts of Benner, hit at a .478 clip from the field. The Cavemen blazed 800 from the foul stripe and Medford shot .654. Matched on Boards With Jerrie Putnam back in the line-up after being side lined by a back ailment, the Cavemen were able with bet ter balance to match the Tor nado under the backboards. Grants Pass with its fast mo tion and weaving attack and with Benner's long range gunning was better able, too, to press its advantages, al though it lost the ball on more occasions. After falling behind by. the wide first half margin, the Medfordites could come no nearer than within six points of the Cavemen. The clubs were that close early in the third canto and the score was only seven points apart on three later occasions in the same session. Medford entered the final stanza trailing by 10 at 43 to 53 and an eight-point differ ence at 50 to 58 with 4V minutes to play was the slim est gap that could be managed in the quarter. The Tornado went into a pressing defense for the last five minutes of the tussle in an aggressive try to salvage the action. But Grants Pass, stalling over the last three minutes, was able to widen to 15 points at 66 to 51 with 2Vi minutes to go and suppress the Tornado chal lenge. Tornado Bids When Jerry Anderson put through a gifter to tart out the closing quarter, Tornado hopes for a comeback still were very much alive. But Rodger Burton shot a free line singleton for GP and Dick Hayes added a pair for 56 to 44. Cal Dean goaled from the keyhole for the Tornado, George Koch sank two free markers and Durkee hit a pusher, while Benner fielder ed for GP for the 58 to 50 standing. Then Hayes plunked in a drive and stop and Benner netted two free shots. Don Peek for Medford got a gift toss but Burton scored on a sleeper and Olson flicked twice from the free line for the 66 to 51 spread. Medford got braces of free throws from Cal Dean and from Peek and Lowell Dean a bucket on Peek's feed for 66 to 57 with 55 seconds to play. Benner connected with a final pusher with 20 seconds to play. Grants Pass after a 15 to 10 jump was on top 17 to 9 at the end of the first period and after 34 to 18 bulge was 38 to 27 ahead at the half. Baskets bv Lowell and Cal Dean and Anderson for Med ford, while Rick Sabin had a charity toss for Grants Pass, made it 39 to 33. Olson with a driver, Ben ner with a long hook and Sabin with a free tally, car ried the margin to 44 to 33. Cal Dean scored on a fast break, fed to Peek for another bucket and hit from close range himself again. Benner, in the meantime, put in one of his pushers and the teams were seven apart at 46 to 39. Lowell Dean Picks Nine In the last two minutes of the chucker, Anderson added a drive shot and Cal Dean a steal basket for Medford while Benner and Sabin collected field goals and Hayes, Benner and Sabin each free counters for the Cavemen. Hayes, who made six of sev en free tries," and Sabin were No. 3 scorers for GP with 10. Lowell Dean also had 10 for Medford and led clubs in rebounding with nine retrieves. Anderson snared seven balls from the boards for Medford and Putnam, Ben ner and Hayes each had six for the Cavemen. John Fox, who has been out of action with a bad knee, ap peared on the floor only brief ly for the Cavemen Friday night. A field goal was denied the Medford team midway in the second quarter. The shot by Jerry Shults would have been Klamath Union Pelicans Defeat Ashlanders 71-26 Ashland - Klamath Union high's Pelicans, picking up momentum as the game pro gressed, rambled 71 to 26 over the Ashland Grizzlies here Friday night to pull into a tie with Medford for the South ern Oregon conference lead in basketball. The Pels gunning a hot .446 from the field and hitting .676 from the free chuck mark, had margins of 10 to 5, 28 to 16 and 46 to 23 at the period breathers. All-stater Bob Pet ersen topped scoring during the evening with 13 markers for Klamath. Bob Lewis scored 11 and Paul Bishop 10 for Klamath. Don Taylor's six was the most for an Ash-lander. South GP Wins Over Hedrick 9th Hedrick Junior high bas keteers won two of the three contests Friday with South Grants Pass. The Climate city ninth graders trimmed Hedrick 38 to 28 and Hedrick gangs won the eighth grade scrap 38 to 13 and the seventh grade en counter 29 to 17. Mclntyre spurred the North ninth with 19 points and GP was the quarterly leader at 11 to 5, 19 to 16 and 29 to 22. John Fisher sparkled for the Hornets of Medford with his stealing and driving. Hornet eighth won in a breeze with a 21 to 2 lead at the half. Latendresse put in 12 of the 17 Grants Pass sev enth grade points. good under ordinary circum stances but the net was caught on the hoop, the ball bounced out and Grants Pass recov ered it. The game was stopped to adjust the net and then continued with the Cavemen both ! taking the bal lout of bound. The net had caught previously at the GP end of the floor but was noticed before the spoil ing of a Caveman effort. Medford won the junior varsity battle 52 to 48 but Grants Pass claimed the soph omore scuffle 40 to 38 in over time. In the jayvee scramble Dick Ragsdale tallied 17 for Medford and Jim Purkett 16 for Grants Pass. Higgin botham had 19 points for the GP sophs and Herb Wheeler 12 for the Medford gang. Only four fouls were tooted against the Caveman sophomores while Medford was whistled for 10. With 26 fouls whistled on the Grizzlies, Klamath picked up 29 of its counters on free tosses. Only eight infractions were called on the Pets with just one each in the third and fourth quarters. Ashland took the junior varsity preliminary 50 to 46. BOX: Klam. Falls FG Hall 2-1 D.

Gaspar Ortega Given Nod Over Rudell Stitch New ork. - (DPD - Welter weight contender Gaspar Or tega, heartened by a timely smile from Lady Luck, wants a "good-money" fight in the Far West as soon as his left brow heals after Friday night's upset, one-point, split decision victory over Rudell Stitch. "Now that my luck has changed," said the lanky In dian from Tijuana, Mex., "I want a good-money fight with either Denny Moyer in Ore gon or with Art Aragon at Los Angeles." Ortega came from behind at Madison Square Garden, with blood streaming from his left brow after losing four of his last seven bouts on dis puted decisions, s Stitch threatened to step Ortega in the early going; but Ortega came on with a smash ing body attack in the second half of the bout to salvage victory. Ortega, 23, suffered such a badly gashed left brow in the third round that he was sus pended today for 30 days in New York state, to give it time to heal. - SPORTS Washington Hands Grant Third Loss United Press International There will probably be some major shifting in the top ten ranked prep teams next week when ballots are cast.
