KENTUCKY Medford Trounces Jesuit 75-41 In fi-l Action; St. Helens Next Anderson High Man With 30 Counters By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor McArthur Court, University of Oregon, Eugene-Medford's Black Tornado, with Jerry An derson turning in the top in dividual scoring effort of the opening round, rumbled into the quarter finals of the Ore gon Class A-l high school bas ketball tournament by drub bing Jesuit of Portland here last night. Score was 75 to 41. Slow starting and ragged in streaks but flashing their power impressively time and again, the Black Tornadoes of the Rogue river valley's Pear City tallied in the opening minute of action and led the rest of the way. They almost completely outclassed their tourney neophyte foe. Ander son zipped in 30 points as Medford counted up its 18th straight triumph of the sea son. Victory sent the Tornado into today's round-of-eight in the championship flight against St. Helens, the team which licked Medford in the tournament consolation finals for fofth place last year. The Lions, champs of District 4, whipped Hermiston last night 55 to 33. Medford and St. Hel ens vie at 8:45 p.m. 21 to 10 Quarter Jesuit kept on Medfords heels through much of the first quarter. But Medford jumped into 21 to 10 com mand by the close of the pe riod and the Crusaders threat ened seriously only once after that. At halftime the Medford margin was 44 to 26 and after three sessions it stood at 65 to 33. The final count could have been even more de cisive but Coach Frank Roe landt utilized throughout the whole last quarter his Med ford five who did not start the scrap. While Anderson was scorch ing the nets, he and Lowell and Cal Dean combined to pace Medford control of the backboards. They each had eight rebounds and the Tor nado as a team had 46 to Jesuit's 28. - Wilco league all-star Bernie Albers topped Crusader scor- ing with 11 markers. Quinney of Medford, with 10, was the only other player in double figures. Bruce Moore's six re trieves were most rebounds by a Jesuit eager. 33 Field Goals Medford swished in a grand total of 33 field goals in 73 shots for a .452 percentage, one of the best accuracy per formances of the first round. The Portland parochials man aged 12 of 45 for .267. Anderson, who made seven field buckets in seven at tempts, at one stretch of the game, helped Medford gain its early control with nine of the Tornado's first quarter points. Lowell Dean scored six. Medford took a 5 to 0 lead at the start on a gifter shot by Andy and fielders by Andy and Lowell. Then, Ray De Martini got a free shot for Jesuit and Albers a rebound basket for 5 to 3. That was the closest the Crusaders were to come. With Anderson, Lowell Dean and Quinney combining the tabulation was soon 15 to 7. Crusaders Rally Jesuit had the huge crowd thinking of upset in the first three minutes of the second panel. Tim Gearin started out the second half with a goal for the Portlanders. Quinney came back with a driver for Medford and a Booth Deakins free toss made it 24 to 12. Gearin put in a turning jump er for Jesuit after a Bill Wehrly bucket. Wehrly net ted a free heave and Albers goaled on a steal. That cut the Medford edge to five points at 24 to 19. But the Crusaders went scoreless for the next three minutes while Anderson, Ragsdale and Ken Durkee combined for 14 points that gave the Tornado a 38 to 19 spread. Medford"s stiff defense, one of the assets in the Tornado march through District 6 op position and to No. 1 poll rat ing in the state, stopped Jesuit time after time. The Crusaders failed to score for more than five minutes in the last quar ter even when they had free line chances and Medford stretched to its widest advan tage of 38 points at 71 to 33. The Crusaders on occasion stole the ball and intercepted Medford passes but could not capitalize on opportunities consistently enough to get a sustained rally going. St. Helens defeated Hermis ton, an all-around taller team with persistent, aggressive play, better shooting and bet ter ball handling and figure to give Medford a real battle to night. The Lions hit .439 from the field to Hermiston's .241 and had 25 field baskets to 13 by the Bulldogs. A long shot ace, Del Terry, led last year's consolation winners with 18 points last night. Bruce Rhine was top hand under the boards with 15 rebounds. The Lions had 8 to 5, 21 to 20 and 35 to 27 leads. Hermiston fell apart in the last quarter. For tonight's 8:45 p.m. fra cas, last of the quarter final round, Medford starters " will be chosen from among Lowell Dean, Anderson, Jerry Shults, Ragsdale and Quinney, who opened last night, and Durkee. St. Helens may go with j Lanny Meyers, Terry, Bob ' Nichols, Rhine and Terry j Jackson.
