4 Tornado Southern SOUTHERN OREGON CONFERENCE STANDINGS Pet. 1.000 .692 .462 .308 .000 Klamath Falls 9 Crater , 6 Grants Pass 4 Ashland 0 0 4 7 9 12 It was "lucky 13" Saturday night for the Medford High school basketball aggregation with the swirling Black Tor nado manufacturing its own good fortune. Medford, erupting with a ruthless fourth quarter gale, swept over the Klamath Un ion Pelicans 75 to 43 at Klam ath Falls. Victory, the 13th against no losses in 1960 Dis trict 6 A-l capering on the mapleboards, earned the Tor nado the Southern Oregon conference mantle, its first in the sport in four campaigns. The Pear city powerhouse also assured itself a bottom bracket berth in Class A-l state tournament pairings against the No. 2 representa tive of the Wilco league. And it flashed its fine degree of depth. The only hoop quintet to dump the Pelicans this sea son, Medford on Saturday chalked up its fourth win against no defeats over Klam ath Falls. It was the last con ference meeting of the schools. With only three frays left for each in the loop this season and Medford holding a four game margin, Klamath riding in second spot, has no chance to pass, or even tie, Medford in the circuit. The Tornado has ended a three-year con ference reign by Klamath. Storming Stride Two and one-half quarters went by Saturday before the Pels began to crumple. Then in the final stanza Medford caught a storming stride that Klamath couldn't match. Klamath's tall contingent had jumped into a starting lead and kept it but for a fleeting moment through the first quarter. Then after eight ties and seven lead switches Medford went ahead to stay. The Pear capital crewmen built up an eight-point spread by the close of the third chuk ker. They settled the District 6 title issue in the fourth canto beyond all doubt with 11 field buckets and eight free shots for 30 markers while holding the Pels to just six tallies.

That Medford has a strong bench could not be denied after the scorching triumph. The Tornado went to Klamath without Lowell Dean, who has an ankle sprain. Part-time starter Bob Quinney took his center slot. In the second quar ter forward Jerry Shults turn ed his ankle and non-starting regular Booth Deakins went in. Reserve Cal Dean replaced Ken Durkee when the guard acquired his fourth foul in the third stanza. And, Quinney, Deakins and Cal Dean were all cogs in the victory. Shults, who had seven first quarter points, and Durkee did not return to action. 18 by Anderson All-stater Jerry Anderson was Medford high scorer with 18 points and top rebounder with 14. Quinney produced 16 points and collected nine re bounds for Coach Frank Roe landt's cage ensemble. Deak ins flicked the net for 12 Tor nado counters. Bruce Brick ner with 10 was the only Peli can in double scoring figures. He led his club also with nine retrieves from the backboards. Medford got off to an un certain start and Klamath had 10 to 3 advantage after 4V4 minutes of playing time. The Tornado caught up at 12-all, aided by three Shults baskets, two on fast breaks. A Fred Biehn free shot made it 13 to 12 for Klamath at the quarter. The Tornado was now in the game and six ties and all seven lead changes came in the second quarter. At half time the teams were knotted at 29-each.

Madison Largest cherry producing county in the U.S. is Door county, Wisconsin, Medford took a 33 to 29 jump as the second half start ed but KF tied it at 33 apiece. Deakins sank a driver for 35 to 33 for Medford. Brickner and Quinney swapped free tosses and Brickner hit from the corner for a 36-all count. Durkee sank a long shot off a fast break, giving Medford permanent lead before he re tired from the scene. Defense Good Deakins and Quinney added field baskets, Dean two free shots and Anderson one while Gary Patzke got a lone gifter for the Pels. Score at inter mission time was 45 to 37. Klamath managed only two field buckets in the fourth quarter. These came after Medford had romped for 26 points while the Pels were putting just two free throws through the hoop. Good defense went along with Medford's scorching of fensive pace. The Tornadoes in the final period often stole the ball or otherwise broke up the Pelican attack. Med ford outdid the taller Peli cans under the backboards and particularly showed strength under its offensive hoop from the mid-third quar ter on. Ragsdale, Durkee and Cal Dean came through with some fine floor play and ball hawking and Ragsdale and Durkee got a good share of rebounds for little men. Klamath Falls won the jay vee game by a slim 47 to 45 and the sophomore fracas by 50 to 42. The Pel JV over came a 25 to 20 Medford half way spread. KF sophs led 32 to 17 at halftime.

It was the fourth and final ruckus of the Southern Ore gon conference slate between the two schools this season and marked the third hoop triumph for the Comets in their GP conflicts. Crater also widened its grip on third place in the loop to two full games over the Climate city gang. And, hey, back up a bit. Crater is still in the race for second place in the con ference and a berth in the state A-l tournament. The Comets are three games be hind Klamath Falls with three tiffs to play. They must win all three and the Pels lose all three for a second place deadlock to occur.

For uniform Strength and Appearance SPECIFY TRU-MIX CONCRETE CONCRETE C of the skirmish. Crater had a 44 to 32 command in the third quarter but saw its gap diminish to 47 to 42 by the end of the canto. See-Saw Action With something like three minutes left, the Comets had a bare 51 to 50 edge. A Jim Purkett bucket made it 52 to 51 for GP but Ernie Cooper's left hand hook gave Crater 53 to 52 lead. Two free heaves by Larry Janssen put Grants Pass ahead once more at 54 to 53. Cooper came back with a jumper from the corner for 55 to 54 Crater. However, Janssen tallied on a steal for 56 to 55 Grants Pass. Loyal Higinbotham drove through the key for Crater 57 to 56 and Cooper added a pair of gift throws for 59 to 56. Rex Benner's two free throws narrowed the difference. Hig inbotham missed a free shot try but a technical foul was called on the crowd for its verbal efforts to hamper the Comet. He got another try and made it. A Grants Pass field try missed and Crater got the ball. Dave Sharp was fouled with five seconds left. He missed the shot but Dennis Edwards tipped the ball up twice and time ran out on the Cavemen. Rebound Shot Sparks GP was on top at the quar ter 18 to 16 but Crater had a 36 to 29 halfway margin. Crater was trailing by four points right at end of the first stanza. A long shot by Higin botham hit the back board and Edwards rebounded it for two points at the horn. This effort seemed to spark the Central Point club. Benner and Purkett had 19 and 18 points, respectively, for Grants Pass and Higin botham 12 and Edwards and Sharp each 11 for the Comets. In rebounding Edwards clear ed the boards 11 times. Coop er 10 and Sharp nine. Benner had 10 retrieves for GP. Crater lost Chuck Turner on fouls midway through the last quarter and Clyde Mur ray, Purkett and Dan Mcln tire of Grants Pass all were banished in the final stanza. Grants Pass won the junior varsity game 80 to 31 after a 42 to 14 halftime lead.
