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. I
