The Black Tornado, by whirling over the Comets of Central Point in a fired up scuffle, put its second loop victory in the record book. Crater suffered its first league defeat in two contest. Med ford was left the only unbeat en club in the circuit when Grants Pass spoiled the 1960 conference start of Ashland, 66 to 54. Hotter shooting, aided by the ability to break open for good opportunities at close or fairly close range, made a big defference for Medford last night. At the same time, the Big Twister permitted the Comets a limited number of close in chances and allowed the Central Point school few er shots from the field than the Medfords took themselves. Tight Beginning Start of the conflict gave the impression that the fracas might be a bitter battle all the way. Crater, itself, held down the Medford shooting efforts in the early minutes and the first five points by Crater and the first three by Medford were accumulated at the free heave stripe. The first quarter had entered its last four min utes when Dick Ragsdale of the Tornado drove under the hoop and hooked in the initial field bucket of the evening. Medford was never behind but Crater knotted up the ac tion at 1-all, 3-all, and 5-all before the Big Wind went ahead for good.

Loyal Higinbotham coun tered with Crater's first field goal but Durkee cashed in on a 12 foot push shot and Jerry Shults and Anderson got pairs of free tosses for Medford while Chuck Turner added a lone charity throw for Crater. Tornado margin was 16 to 8 at the end of the stanza. Anderson Gets 21 Medford outscored the Cen tral Pointers also in each of the remaining chukkers, lead ing 29 to 18 at .halftime and 44 to 26 after three quarters. Anderson was the point and rebound leader of the game with 21 markers and 15 re trieves. Most of his points were at the free shot line where he put in 13 of 18 at tempts. Field bucketing of the Tornado was well divided with Anderson and Darrell Miller potting four each and Lowell Dean, Durkee, Rags dale and Quinney three apiece. Dean had nine re bounds for Medford. Higinbotham, hitting mostly from long range had seven field goals and two gift tosses to head the Comets with 16 points. Backboard domination also played a part in the Medford decision. The Tornadoes pick ed the ball off the boards 39 times to Crater's 23. Aggressive Ballhawking Both clubs turned in spir ited aggressive . ballhawking and the times one club broke up the other's attack were fre quent.

(why Volkswagen's aluminum engine is still years ahead of its time) Dead weight in art engine is the enemy of efficiency. That's why airplane engines ore made of aluminum. And that's why Volkswagen's engine is cast of aluminum end magnesium alloys (even lighter than aluminum.) Volkswagen reduces dead weight in still other ways. The engine is air-cooled no bulky radiator. (No water to freeze in winter, or boil over in summer.) And the rear engine gets rid of the conventional heavy drive shaft while giving direct power to the wheels. In mud, sand, ice, snow, where other cars skid, you go.) As a result, the Volkswagen engine weighs only 198 lbs. and every pound works. You get an honest 32 miles to the gallon (regular gas, regular driving). And the en gine is so efficient, top and cruising speeds are the same. You can go 70 mph all day without strain. Come in this week and drive one!
