St. Mary's,

Take Tilts
By CLIFF JOHNSON
United Press International
West coast athletic confer
ence play is off and running
1 with Santa Clara and St.
i Mary's leading the pack.
But defending champion
St. Mary's barely managed to
protect its honor Tuesday
night in squeezing a 67-62
overtime win from the Uni
versity of San Francisco.
The Gaels - despite the loss
of star center Tom Meschery,
benched with a fractured jaw
raced off to an early' lead.
But the Dons hung on to their
coat tails and managed to
take a 27-26 halftime edge.
At the end of regulation
play, the. score was tied at
56-56. The Dons moved out
in front, 62-59, in the over
time period - but the Gaels
regained the lead and added
six points insurance in the
final 30 seconds.
Santa Clara also had - a
tough time with College of
Pacific in the first half of
play. But the Broncos got
their second wind midway
through the final period to de
feat the Tigers, 68-57.
Jim Russi and Joe Sheaff
hit their stride with 10 min
utes left to play and ran up
an 18 point margin for the
Broncos. Ken Stanley, who
chalked up 19 points for COP,
was mainly responsible for
keeping ' the Tigers alive in
i the game.

Tommy Manville is 65 but he
hasn't been able to kick his
old habit.
He and his 20-year-old fi
ancee, Christinia Erdlen, will
apply for a marriage license

"I'm afraid I'm headed for
the altar again," said the
silver-haired asbestos heir

shouldn't be afraid after all
my experience, but one gets
cautious."
Tommy has been so cautious
that he's been a bachelor for
almost two years. But he
plans to end all that next
Monday when he makes bru
nette Christine his bride.
It will be the millionaire's
thirteenth trip to the altar
because he married two of his
wives twice.

Hard-romping Medford be-j
came lone leader and only un- j
marred aggregation in South-j
ern Oregon conerence basket
ball by beating scrappy Cra
ter high 66 to 40 here last
night.
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. The Black
Tornado made its lead stick
after Jerry Anderson's gifter

period.
Ken Durkee caught the
Comets napping with a driver
and then put in a shot from
back of the circle for 10 to
5. 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. Medford gunners netted 22
of their 52 tries from the field
for .423 average, picking up
after a 4 for 11 first canto.
The Comets hemped 13 of 38
for .342. Crater put in only
one fielder in the first quar

(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!
