Held in check for one per
iod, the Medford Black Tor
nado gathered up steadier mo
mentum in the second quarter
Saturday night and spun away
to a 63 to 46 basketball vic
tory over Crater high in the
Southern Oregon conference.
Medford, needing the tri
umph to hang on to second
place alone in the circut stand
ings, injected some snappy
passing and slick play-making
and shot at a warm .403 av
erage from the field to pro
duce the victory.
Jerry Anderson sparked
the Tornado point tabulation
and rebounding with 19 coun
ters and 11 retrieves. Lowell
Dean put in 13 points and
Jerry Shults 11 for the Med
ford cause. Loyal Higinboth
am, making nine of 11 free
tosses, had 17 points for the
Comet cause and ballhawk
ing Chuck Turner cleared the
backboards 11 times and John
Burns on nine occasions for
Crater.
The Comets gave it the old
high school try against their
"crosstown" rival. In the first
quarter they kept the Torna
do in check with a lively,
scrapping defense and with a
boost from free shots headed
the Medford aggregation 1 1 to
10 at the end of the canto.
19 Point Splurge
From that point the Torn
ado lashed out and wouldn't
be stopped. The Medford five
poured in eight of their eve-
nings 27 field buckets and
tossed in three gift chances
for a 19-point period. In the
meantime, Medford continued
a stiff defense. This resis
tance and the Comet's cold
ness on their shooting oppor
tunities kept the Central Point
crew from becoming a come
back threat." Crater hit only
.236 from the field for the
night.
Medford was in front 29 to
17 at the half and picked up
another nine field goals and
two free shots for 20 more
points for 49 to 29 spread at
the end of the third stanza.
Biggest lead for the Tornado
was 27 points at 56 to 29 with
ZVa minutes played in the
fourth quarter. Reserves start

Art Tyler

St. Moritz, Switzerland-TOPD
-Bobsled champion Art Tyler
retired on advice from "the
boss" today but left himself
an "out" just in case his wife
changes her mind.
The 43-year-old physicist
from Weston, Mass., piloted
his homemade sled to . the
world bobsled championship
Sunday, and then, after a hur
ried conference with his wife,
Agnes, announced he was re
tiring from the dangerous
sport.
Tyler and his crew of Gary
Sheffield of Lake Placid, N.
Y., Parker Vooris of Bell
more, N.Y., and Marine Lt.
Tom Butler of Saranac Lake,
N.Y., captured the title with
an aggregate of five minutes,
10.82 seconds for four runs
down the twisting,, one-mile
St. Moritz Olympic chute.
An Italian sled captained
by Sergio Zardini was second
and a German sled skippered
by Franz Schelle was third.
The other U.S. sled, piloted
by Stan Benham of Lake
Placid, N.Y., was eighth in
the field of 13 sleds from
eight countries.
HOCKEY
NATIONAL LEAGUE
United Press Iniernaiional
Coach Phil Watson of the
New ' York Rangers who
wields the biggest "whip" in
the National Hockey league,
has introduced a new wrinkle
in an attempt to snap his club
out of its longest losing streak
in two years. v
When the Rangers dropped
their fifth straight game to
the Montreal Canadiens, 5-1,
Sunday night at Madison
Square garden, Jatson was
so infuriated he ordered his
players back on the ice for
an exhausting 43 - minute
workout.
In Sunday night's other
NHL action, Bronco Horvath
and Johnny Bucyk scored in
the third period to earn the
Boston Bruins a 3-3 (deadlock
with the Chicago Black
Hawks and Gordie Howe fig
ured in three goals in the fi
nal period as the Detroit Red
Wings bounced the Toronto
Maple's 4-2.
The Buffalo Bisons, after
struggling through a surpris
ing slump, have re-opened a
six point lead in the American
Hockey league pennant race.
The Queen City skaters re
gained their scoring punch
just in time Sunday night to
defeat the Cleveland Barons,
4-2, while the Providence Reds
knocked off second place Her
shey, 5-3.
The Rochester Americans,
battling to nail down fourth
place and the final berth in
the playoffs, ripped the
Springfield Indians, 5-1, in
Sunday's other AHL game.

The clock, is running out

ball race, but the Huskies get
a chance tonight when they
host Southern California. .
A victory over the erratic
Trojans would nudge coach
Tippy Dye's Huskies up to

pace-setting Bears. A loss
would just about wreck the
hopes of a Washington team
which has won six straight
since getting off to a rocky

Tucson Golf
Title Won
By Littler
Tucson, Ariz.-IUPD-Gene Lit
tler is really back on his
stick with consecutive tourn
ament wins at Phoenix and
Tucson, and the touring golf
pros knew it as they headed
today for the Texas Open in
San Antonio.
The San Diego blond, orrce
touted as4he successor to Ben
Hogan as golf's big name,
roared out of the pack Sun
day to win the $15,000 Tuc
son Open. He beat out Art
Wall Jr., the money-bags of
the 1959 tour from Pocono
Manor, Pa., and Joe Camp
bell, the promising rookie
from Knoxville, Tenn.
The back-to-back victories
at Phoenix and Tucson put
Littler second in money win
nings, behind Wall. He pock
eted $2,000 here on his 72
hole score of 65-67-68-66-266.
That was 14 under par on the
El Rio Country Club course,
known as one of the easiest
on the pro tour.
Six Strokes Overcome
Littler charged from six
strokes back to overtake
Campbell, who insisted it was
"my putter, not pressure"
that cost him top money here.
Campbell, leader after the
second and third rounds, blew
to a fourth round 73, three
over par, for a 72-hole total
of 267, and second place tie
with Wall, who upped his
1959 winnings to $11,630. Lit
tler's 1959 earnings now to
tal $7,083.
One stroke behind Wall and
Campbell came Doug Sand
ers, Miami Beach, Fla.; Mas
ters champion Arnold Pal
mer, Latrobe, Pa., and Bill
Johnston, Provo, Utah.
Savage Slated
Against Avenger
Grants Pass-Promoter El
ton Owen has lined up two
outstanding matches for a big
wrestling card this Tuesday
night at the Josephine County
fairgrounds arena. Wild Bill
Savage will meet young Nick
Kozak in the main event.
Savage scrambled the big
German, Karl yon Himmler,
last week after he finally blew
his top at the German's rough
tactics. Bill is a pretty rough
wrestler himself, and he has
a fine basic knowledge of lev
erage grappling. His pet hold
is the neckbreaker in which
he sits on his opponents back
and pulls up and back on the
head.
Kozak defeated Shiroma in
two straight falls last week.
Nick is just a little faster
than Savage but he will be
giving away fifteen pounds.
The one hour semi will
introduce the mysterious
masked man, The Avenger.
The Avenger will meet Don
Manoukian, the ex-Stanford
football great.

Coach Ted Schopf s Raiders
now stand securely in second
place in the Oregon Colleg
iate conference with a 10-3
record and a chance for first
place. They need to conquer
Portland State ' twice next
week end.
In the first half at Mon
month the Wolves managed
to stay within two or three
points until the closing three
minutes when the men of SOC
went from a 14 to 10 lead to
the 21 to 16 margin.
The second half was typi
cal of the first until the clos
ing minutes when the Wolves
switched to a pressing man-toman
offense. Three untimely
fouls of the Wolves put the
Raiders out of reach in the
last two minutes.
If the men of SOC win
their next three games in the
OCC it would assure them of
at least a tie and, if Portland
State would lose one more,
the Raiders would wrap up
the OCC title.
