MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON
Tornadoes Priming
For Klamath Jaunt
Medford high's amibtion lo
hang on to the Southern Ore
g o n conference basketball
championship it won last year
faces a crucial test this Sat
urday night.
The Black Tornado travels
to Klamath Falls for its only
game of the week end.
Klamath Pelicans currently
head the five-team pack with
a 6-0 standing while Medford
is running second at 6-1. Lone
Tornado loss in the cricuit was
to the Pelicans. KF won 58
to 56 in overtime.
Outcome of the previous
tangle shows that the Mod
ford's chore is cut out for it.
The first meeting was at Med
ford and the assignment is
considered a tougher one for
the Pear city club on the
Pelican court.
VETERAN GUARD - Veteran
player for the Medford high
basketball team is Dick Rags
dale, above, all-conference
choice last season. He'll be in
action at Klamath Falls Sat
urday night when Medford
bids to pull even in Southern
Oregon loop standings with
the Pelicans. Ragsdale is sixth
among score-producers of the
district with 8a markers and
is fifth for the full season with
137.
The game at KF will mark
the halfway point In the
schedule for both teams.
While Medford is giving its
all for the one conflict, Kla
math has two games to prep
1 for. It plays at Grants Pass
on Friday.
Rested Monday
With vno action until Sat
urday, the Tornado billed its
heaviest drill of the week for
this afternoon. The hoopmcn

Providence May Get
Cliffhanger Title
United Preii International
Providence college, a "Cin
derella" basketball team for
the past two seasons, is well
on its way toward the "cliff
hanger" title for the 1960 61
campaign.
The Friers, led by little
Johnny Egan and Jumbo Jim
Hadnot, pulled out another
close one Wednesday night by
defeating Canisius, 67-64, for
their 12lh victory in 14 games
this season.

New York
United Press International
With 49 games of their sea
son gone, it appears the St.
Louis Hawks will win the
Western division crown in
the National Basketball asso
ciation without much trouble,
but there are plenty of close
battles left to make the re
mainder of the pro season in
teresting. In Wednesday night's NBA
games, the Hawks beat New
York, 116-109, their 32nd win
against 17 losses. In the fea
ture game of the Detroit
doubleheader, the Pistons, sec
ond to the Hawks in the
Western division, downed
third - place Cincinnati, 138
125. On the West Coast, fourth
place Los Angeles won its sec
ond straight over the Syra
cuse Nationals, 117-112, at the
Los Angeles Sports Arena.
While it doesn't seem likely
St. Louis can be overtaken,
Eastern Division leader Bos
ton is in no such comfortable
position, having a .694 per
centage compared to Phila
delphia's .625.
The question of who will
finish second, and thus make
the playoffs, in the Western
sector Is a complex riddle.

Comet Hoopsters
Gird for Two Foes
Central Point Burdened
also this week by midyear
final exams, the Crater high
Comet basketeers are drilling
with eyes set on bettering
their position in Southern
Oregon conference at the half
way point of the campaign.
The Comets (1-5) go to Ash
land on Friday evening and
play Grants Pass here on Sat
urday. Varsity frays are set
for around 8:15 p.m.
Crater holds a victory over
Ashland (0-7) and has lost to
Grants Pass (3-3). By topping
both foes this week the Com
ets stand a chance of knotting
for third place in the league
standings. That would come
should Klamath Falls also
beat GP.
Work on Defense
The Cavemen of Grants
Pass, however, soundly beat
the Central Point club in their
earlier encounter. Defensive
woes damaged the Comet
cause in that fray and Coach
Lloyd Hoffine said that his
crew has been "working
pretty hard" on that phase of
the game this week.
It appeared as of yesterday
that the Comet squad would
be intact for the scrambles.
Hoffine indicated that he will
utilize the fullest extent of
Crater height to meet the
challenge of the tall front
line of Cavemen.
The Comets may have their
mind particularly on GP but
they are not overlooking Ash
land despite the Grizzlies
failure to win a basketball
game so far this season.

The Comets were on top 39
to 29 with three minutes to
play. Hedrick's press became
extremely effective at that
point and the Hornets just
missed a victory chance in the
last five seconds. A steal near
the Comet hoop gave Hedrick
a layin opportunity which
failed to connect. The swipe
followed a Crater toss-in aft
er a Hornet free toss.
Quarter scores were Crater

Finds Hit
Stops Clock
By RUDY CERNKOVIC
Pittsburgh -WPD- Bill Maze
roski has discovered he has
stopped the clock.
For the clever second base
man of the Pittsburgh Pirates
it's still 3:36 p.m., eastern
daylight time, Thursday, Oct.
13, 1960. Place: Forbes Field.
At exactly that moment, he
belted a home run that won
the 1960 World Series for
Pittsburgh over the New York
Yankees.
"I'm still getting letters
about that homer," said Bill,
relaxing in his home before
dinner.
"Fan mail keeps coming
from -all over the country
although it's tapering off now.
Most of the letters are from
kids and their words are the
greatest tribute. They tell me
I'm their idol. I get a lot of
mail from Canadian fans too.
Still Gets Glow
"It's the same at banquets
whether I'm in New York,
Chicago, Columbus or Buffalo.
"People come up to me and
shake my hand. They want to
talk about that homer. That's
all right with me, I like to
talk about it. The answers are
nearly mechanical now
yeah, greatest thrill in my life
a high fast one ball one
Terry was pitching."
, Maz said the recollection of
that moment when his homer
gave the Pirates their first
world championship in 35
years still gives him a glow.
"I've seen those World
Series movies about three
times," he confessed. "It's like
re-living that moment."
Sends Autographed Picture
Bill estimates he has re
ceived nearly 1,000 letters
and has replied to all by send
ing his autographed picture.
His mother, Mrs. Mamie
