New Year's Day Football KBES-TV ORANGE BOWL Friday, Jan. 1 10 A.M. i' Jackson County Federal ; Savinss tt Lean Association Torrid Black Tornado Drubs Roseburg High Indians 79-48 After being threatened just briefly in the first quarter, a high - geared, sharp - shooting Medford high basketball team raced to a 79 to 48 triumph over the Roseburg Indians here last night. Spearheaded by Bob Quin ney, in a varsity starting role for the first time, and by Jerry Anderson, the Black Tornado of the Pear capital, out-tallied the Indians in every panel. It took over con trol of the .- contest "with a second period romp . that netted 25 points and a 42 to 23 ha If time margin. The sound trouncing at torned for a 72 to 68 loss to the Indians last week at Rose burg, kept Coach Frank Roe landt's Tornado unbeaten this season on its home court and gave Medford a 3-3 record in pre-eonference play. Medford opens its Southern .Oregon conference slate this Satur day at Klamath Falls. Rose burg also wound up pre-loop action with a 5-2-1 mark and goes into Midwest conference contention on Jan. 15 against Cottage Grove. . The Tornado made it a clean sweep for the evening with victories by 55 to 51 in the junior varsity ruckus and 68 to 28 in the sophomore encounter. While Quinney and Ander son were the varsity pacers in scoring and rebounding with 23 and 16 markers, respective ly, and 10 retrieves each, it was an . all-around sharp, hustling and driving team per formance which fashioned the one-sided decision. Dick Hags dale, also starting for the first time, and Ken Durkee added aggressive ballhawking and playmaking .while Lowell Dean was rugged under the boards and did some adept feeding. Torrid .500 shooting from the field and backboard con trol were other elements of triumph. Indian ace Jim Jarvis fired in 13 points in the first quar ter in a one-man effort to keep his club in the ball game. But, he had few good chances to shoot over the rest ol the route and added just seven more points for a night's total of 20. Jarvis was the only Roseburg scorer in double figures while Medford had four men with 10 pomts or more. Had All Way The Black Tornado led throughout the evening after Jerry Anderson opened the scoring with a jumper from the slot and Dean put in a tip shot in the first minute of play. Medford built a 14 to 3 advantage with four minutes played in the mix. ' Then, Roseburg almost caught the Medfordites on Jarvis' tabulating. The Indian star swished five field goals and Bill Mundt. a gifter in this rush. In the meantime, Quinney collected a base line bucket and Ragsdale a free shot -for Medford. The Tor nado headed by a scant -17 to 15 at the intermission. Quinney accounted for nine points in the second stanza when Medford was getting its 25 to Roseburg's aggregate of eight. Ragsdale had five mark ers and Anderson and Durkee each four in the big canto. Medford continued to pull away through the third quar: ter, also, and outpointed the Indians 20 to 12 for a 28-point gap of 62 to 34 at the breath er. Quinney garnered eight of the markers. The Tornado had a 17 to 14 edge in the fourth panel which mentor Roelandt of the -Tornado and coach Curt Jarvis of Roseburg finished with reserves.' Both tutors cleared their benches. Widest Medford margins were 33 points at 77 to 44 and 79 to 46. Ability to get close in shots helped the Tornado in mak ing 34 of 68 tries from the field. Medfordites hit rather well from long range, too. Roseburg shot .370 on 20 for 54. Quinney used his 6-4 height and some nice maneuvering to get most of this nine field goals , at ; close range. Jarvis also had - nine buckets and Anderson eight. Coach Roelandt - broke up an all-letterman combination which . had started five pre vious conflicts by opening last night -"' with K Ragsdale and Quinney - in vthe "lineup. Medford's jayvees broke a 46-all deadlock to go in front 54 to 46. in ''their Scramble with . Roseburg. The junior Tornado was on top 14 to 10 after a quarter but half time gap was in Roseburg's favor 28 to 27. Medford led again, 42 to 37. at the third rest. Bill Brothers had 18 points and Chuck Hiney 16 for Rose burg with. George Clearwater getting 13 and Howie Brown and Jerry Winetrout each 12 for Medford. Medford had 14 to 6, 30 to 14 and 49 to 19 quarter leads in the soph tussle. Larry Plankenhorn netted 18 mark ers and Chuck Allen 12 for the Tornado. BOX: Roseburg fg Brundage.

Dave Sharp laid in a field bucket for Crater to start off the last stanza but Marvin R a d lo p h sank a jump er from the key for the Bob cats making the count 38 to 35.

Wisconsin Appears To Be Hexed Team ' ; Pasadena, Calif. - (UPD - If ever a football team seems to be laboring under a jinx, Wis consin appears to be it. Yet oddly enough, the Bad gers. are six and one-half point favorites to beat the Washing ton Huskies in the Rose Bowl New Year's Day. Wisconsin has ' won only three games and lost eight in the history of its competition with Pacific Coast teams. No other Big 10 football team can make that statement. And no other Big 10 team wants to. ' Wisconsin is the only team to lose to a Pacific Coast con ference team in the Rose Bowl since the start of the exclusive contract with the Big 10 in 1947. The Badgers were defeated by Southern California, 7-0, in the 1953 Rose Bowl. And just to make the jinx idea a little stronger - Milt Bruhn, the Wisconsin head coach was an assistant to Ivy Williamson in the 1953 game. That is the only previous appearance for the Badgers in the New Year's Day classic. Washington can't boast about much in this regard either. The Huskies have played in the Rose Bowl four times and the best they could do was a 14-14 tie with Navy in 1924. : Pasadena, Calif. -(UPD- The University of Wisconsin's Bad gers are going to take it calm and easy until Friday's big Rose Bowl game with Wash ington. Coach Milt Bruhn said there would be no more in tensified workouts.

Cooper with 10 and Sharp with nine helped shaped the victory with their work under the backboards. Marvin Rad loph was high gunner for the 'Cats with 10 and Larry Dor nath led in rebound retrieves with nine. A second half margin in re bounding aided the Comets. Myrtle Point had 23 recov eries to 22 by Crater in the first half but the Comets had the edge for the game, 42 to 36. Crater fired 16 of 61 from the field for .262 average, out doing the Bobcats' .222 on 14 of 58. Crater felt the absence of big rugged Denny Edwards, who was sidelined with an ankle injury suffered in prac tice yesterday. .

Bruhn also said he planned to take the squad to the Rose Bowl Thursday to a light drill to acclimate the boys to the playing field. The Badgers went through a conditioning workout Tues day and only the third and fourth units got down to any heavy contact. The reserves tried Washington plays against Wisconsin defense in the drill. , ;'. Bruhn said he still was un decided about a starting back field and delayed nominating the unit which will go it against Washington at game time. HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE United Press International Goalie Harry Lumley of the Boston Bruins won the game but lost money doing it. Lumley's combination good fortune and misfortune came about in a 4-3 victory over the New York Rangers Tues day . night that gave the Bruins sole possession Jjbf fourth pace in the National Hockey league. Lumley, who was filling in for sidelined Don Simmons in the nets, drew a 10-minute misconduct penalty just as the game ended for arguing too vehemently over-of all things -the final buzzer.

Illinois Valley, in the other semi, defeated the Henley Hornets 47 to 39. IV and Glendale will meet at 9 o'clock tonight here in the finals of the pre-eonference tournament for A-2 schools. Final game of the three-day tourney will be preceded by a consolation playoff between Phoenix and Rogue River. ;' Evenly matched, neither Glendale nor Eagle Point was ahead more than two points for most of the game. Glen dale, however, had the edge in play under the hoop. Lead ing rebounders were Glen Blevins, Jim Allen and Bill Thompson. Blevins and Allen were also top scorers for their team with 10 and 9 points, respectively. Eagles Lead - Eagle Point jumped off to a lead in the first quarter and kept it through most of the first half. Glendale start ed to move up as Allen, Thompson and Blevins jump ed, grabbed and shot in rapid succession. Finally, Pirate Jack Berlin dropped a jump shot through the hoop. George Humphreys followed his mate with a drive into the basket nad tied it up 20 all with one minute to go before the half 7 time horn. The half ended with Glendale ahead 22 to 20. Nolan Greenwood and Jim Nease of the Eagles worked desperately to even up the score, but the third quarter ended with Glendale ahead 32 to 27. The game surged back and forth as Eagle Steve Ger en scored on jump shots fol lowed by teammate Ron Greb with another jump and swish er. As the clock hand swung down to 3 minutes left in the the final quarter wild scram bles piled up, players under both baskets. Foul shots nar rowed the margin to " two 'points, but the steady, though tiring Pirates kept possession of the ball as the final horn sounded. Pluck Stinger The Illinois Valley Cougars also moved up into tonight's title game by plucking the stinger out of the Henley Hor nets and keeping a decisive lead throughout the game. Although the Hornets work ed the ball well they were stifled by a tight defense and surging drives under the bas ket by the more aggressive IV Cougars. Bob Tucker, Doug Lewis and Noel Turner appeared to lead the action for the Cougars. Tucker shot from both outside and inside. Not all the story was told by the scoring, however. Mike Hanby, scrappy guard for IV, consistently led his mates in. charges on the bucket and kept the ball in IV hands un der the boards. Us Height Well A jump shot scored by Jerry Buckhaulz in the first few minutes of the first quarter tipped off IV's intentions and strategy. This was followed in rapid succession by another jump by Tucker and inter spersed with frequent gift tosses as both teams piled up men under the baskets. IV had a slight edge in height and used it well. The Hornets continued to pass the ball around and work in for clear shots at the bucket but were consistently mobbed by the Cougars. Tallest man for the Hornets was a 6-5 inch - UHl frosh, Kent Gooding. How- ever, he played only a few minutes and was effective for only a few plays off the boards.' Ray Jackson was top scorer for the Hornets with 18 points and "double aught" was consistently in the middle of the tight action under the basket. LINEUPS: 39 Glendale F 9 ,1.
