It was "take me out to the
'brawlgame' " in the Climate
city Friday night as the Med
ford Black Tornado advanced
the cause of its Southern Ore
gon conference defense with
victory over Grants Pass high
in a rough and tough combat.
Medford won the ruckus 66
to 59 for its third decision in
the loop against no setbacks.
And, the outcome left the rug
ged, determined Grants Pass
hoopsters 1-1 in the con
ference. While the Big Wind was in
front almost all the way, tri
umph by no means came easy
for the Medfords. The Cave
men, on their familiar home
court, virtually stopped the
generally effective Tornado
fast break. Medford had to
scrap hard for most of its
field buckets against a stiff
GP defense and "cheap" bas
kets were few and far be
tween. And, until fouls
mounted up, the Caveman of
fense, itself, ran into stern
Medford resistance.
Free Tosses Difference
A total of 49 personal in
fractions were whistled in the
tangle by referees. Hal Doug
las and Don Sutphin 22
against Medford and 27
against the host contingent.
And, the scoring difference
was at the gift toss line with
Medford putting in 28 of 40
tries to GP's 19 to 34. GP led
in field goals 20 to 19.
Medford's Bob Quinney
took advantage of the fouls
against him for a perfect 10
for 10 on free chances. He
also had nine for 19 from the
field and was high score man
of the evening with 28 coun
ters. Dave Hauntz, a non
starter hit six of nine from
the field and five of seven
.rom the gift mark for 17
Grants Pass tallies. Bob Lew
ellyn of Grants Pass put in
seven of nine free efforts.
Medford lost the services of
Quinney and Dick Ragsdale
on fouls, Quinney with three
minutes to play and Ragsdale
with a minute and one:half to
go. For Grants Pass Jim Da
vis bowed out on infractions
in the third quarter and Clyde
Murray, Larry Jannssen and
Lewellyn were banished in
successive order in the
fourth.
11-Point Gap
Quarter scores had Med
ford leading 18 to 14, 35 to
27 and 50 to 46. Only Grants
Pass lead was in the first
canto when Hauntz took a
oass from Lewellyn and put
the ball through for 14 to 13.
Medford was on top to stay
15 seconds later, when Quin
ney tallied off a Ragsdale
feed. Stan Dowson flipped
in the bill after a Quinney
pass and then got a free toss
for the first quarter dif
ference. Medford with Quinney,
Ragsdale and Jim Barry tabu
lating stretched to an 11
point spread at 26 to 15, then
kept an advantage of at least
eight points until the halftime
horn.
Janssen's driver and Jim
Blacksmith's long pusher for
GP cut the gap from 35 to 13.
Medford restored the edge to
eight on Quinney's jumper
and Bruce Bray's easy basket
off Quinney's interception of
a Caveman inbounds throw.
In a little over six minutes of
the third panel GP outscored
Medford 12 to 7. And. when
Hauntz swished in the ball off
Lewellyn's pass-in from under ley 17 for Medford and
the hoop, the MSlf Od margin man Keisecker 14 for GP,
was just 46 to 43. ,

Dowson sank
shot and Ragsdale two free
heaves for 50 to 43. But
Hauntz was fouled while pot
ting a rebound at the buzzer
and made his charity throw
for the 50 to 46.
Barry's free toss and Quin
ney's jumper got Medford off
on the right foot in the fourth
quarter and with the help of
seven free points, the Tornado
headed by 11 counters at 64
to 53 with 2' i minutes left to
play.
Medford charts showed the
Tornado with only 40 shots
from the field during the eve
ning but the Tornado made 19
of them for a hot .475 average.
The Grants Pass effort on 44
casts was a good warm 454.
Only six actual shots were on
the Tornado chart for the last
quarter with Quinney firing
five times before being re
tired. Grants Pass won both the
junior varsity and sophomore
scuffles. Respective scores
were 50 to 49 and 54 to 51.
Tornado jaycees headed 49 to
48 and were stalling with 16
seconds left. A Grants Pass
player was awarded free op
portunity and made his one
and one tries giving the Cave
men the game.
Dan Miles had 20 points
and Mike Neathamer 13 for
Medford which was ahead by
nine points at the half. Mike
Milleman and Bob Wilson
each scored 12 for GP.
Medford sophomores were
in front 14 to 11 at the quar
ters but Grants Pass led 29
to 28 and 48 to 38 at the other
intermissions. The Tornadoes
cut their deficit to 51-50 in
the fourth panel. Harold Reid
had 18 points and Dick Deff-

Basilio Notches
Comeback Victory
New York - (UPI) - Carmen
Basilio, former welterweight
and middleweight champion,
used a persistent forcing and
hooking attack Saturday
night to score a heartening
comeback victory on a unani
mous 10-round decision over
Mexican Caspar Ortega at
Madison Square Garden.
Craggy-faced Basilio, weigh
ing the heaviest of his career,
earned the right to a non-title
fight with welterweight cham
pion Benny (Kid) Paret on
March 4 at a site to be an
nounced later.
Carmen of Chlltenango,
N.Y., scaled a suspension-
causing 159'i pounds, exactly
10 more than slender Ortega s
149'$.
Under Suspension
Chairman Melvin L. Krule
witch of the New York State
Athletic commission announc
ed at the ringside that Basilio
is "now under suspension and
I will announce the length of
the suspension on Monday."
Basilio will be suspended
for at least 30 days for break
ing an agreement to weigh no
more than 155 pounds.
Returning to the ring after
a six-month lay-off and after
having been knocked out in
his two last previous fights
with middleweight co-cham
pion Gene Fullmer, Carmen
showed flashes of his former
prowess and appeared In
much better condition than on
last June 29 when stopped in
the 12th round by Gene.
In the dressing room Basilio
announced, "I'll keep on fight
ing. With tonight's bout under
my bell, I'll be much sharper
next lime."
At 33, he thought he might
go into permanent retirement
if he was beaten badly.
Excellent Fight
The fight with Ortega was
excellent, studded with fierce
exchanges. There were no
knockdowns in this contest
between Carmen's left hooks
and Ortega's long left jabs to
the head and rights to the
body. Gaspar slipped to the
canvas when he missed a
'punch in the second.
Basilio suffered a nick on
his right brow in the second
round and his nose began
bleeding in the third. Ortega's
nose bled slightly after the
seventh.
The three ring officials fa
vored Basilio on a rounds
basis as follows: Referee Al
Berl, 6-4; Judge Leo Birn
baum, 6-4; Judge Joe Eppy,
5-4-1. The United Press Inter
national had Basilio ahead,
7-3.
The crowd, estimated at
8,000 - the largest for a Gar
den fight in more than a year
-cheered the verdict heartily.

1960 Golf
Money King
Dunedin, Fla. -(UPII- Arnold
Palmer, the hard-hitting U.S.
Open and Masters champion
from Lattobc, Pa., was offi
cially crowned the 1960 mon
ey-winning champion of the
Professional Golfers associa
lion Saturday with a record
official total of $75,262.85 in
purses won.
Palmer's total eclipsed tho
old mark of $72,835.83 set by
Ted Kroll in 1956. In addition
Palmer picked up $5,705.21 in
unofficial winnings for a
grand total of $80,968.03.
PGA headquarters slated
that the 31-ycar-old Pcnnsyl-
vanian won eight of the 27
tournaments in which he com
peted in 1960 and also finish
ed in the top five in nine oth
ers.
The top six on the all-time
money-winning list for a sin
gle season now line up this
way - Palmer, Kroll, Dick
Mayer $65,835.00 (in 1957),
Bob Toskl $65,819.81 (in

earnings.
Billy Casper Jr. won the
Vardon Trophy competition,
which is based on the lowest
average score for 60 official
rounds. The Califoinian had
an average oi ou.uou io oe
come the first player since
Sam Sncad had 69.86 in 1955
to break the 70-mark. Finster
wald was second with a 70.322
average for 93 rounds.
And Finsterwald led me
