Signs Pact
By FRED DOWN
United Press International
They say Dick Groat looks
like a bank clerk but he'll
get the "Texas oil royalty"
treatment when he steps up to
the cashier's window this
year. v
The National league's bat
ting champion and most valu
able player, Groat signed with
the world champion Pitts
burgh Pirates Friday for
salary estimated at between
$40,000 and $43,000.
Groat, ex-Duke All-America
basketball player, typified the
Pirates' rise , to their first
world championship : in 35
years with his gritty play. He
edged out Los Angeles' Norm
Larker for the batting title,
.325 to .323, despite a late
season injury and was the
sparkplug of the team all season.

final quarter.
The Medford club broke t

Crusaders. St. Mary's had a

St. Mary's utilized a press

portunities at the free line.

scoring difference in the mix.

The Crusaders couldn't get
their offense working and this
contributed to a helter skelter
game.
Dick Kinney of Yreka was

the Medford club. Eleven was

Grants
Grants Pass high's inspired
Cavemen, fighting to return
to the Oregon Class A-l bas
ketball tournament after two
seasons absence', held them
selves in the thick of the run
ning Friday night by spilling
the Medford Black Tornado
49 to 46 at Grants Pass.
The Cavemen supposedly
were weakened by the absence
of veteran regular Larry Jans
sen. But, possessing probably
the best depth in the South
ern Oregon conference, they
played like they didn't miss
him. They were a bit steadier,
sharper and surer over the
route than the Black Torna
do. They had a better eye
from the field, had sinewy
tough zone defense, battled
Medford evenly under the
boards and kept the pressure
on.
Twice trailing by seven
points in the second quarter,
Grants Pass had a 37 to 34
margin going into the final
period but fell behind once
in the final canto' before go
ing ahead to stay. Jim Davis,
who sparked the Cavemen
with nine points in the sec
ond half, meshed a long jump
pusher for a Grants Pass edge
of 40 to 39 with 5i minutes
left in the game. . Thirty sec
onds later he sank another
long one and a free toss for
43 to 39.
Margin Hacked
Medford fought back but
couldn't go ahead.

and Wally Palmberg, who had

Ashland won the Junior var
sity scrap 39 to 38 on Dan Dix

onds left in the fray. The
Grizzlies had 11 to 6 quarter
and 17 to 16 half leads and
the game was knotted 28-each
after three periods. Tod Hess
had 16. points for Ashland and
Kaler 12 for Klamath.

Pelicans, who tumbled Ash
land Friday 70 to 39.
The Cavemen took their
first decision in three games
with Medford this season. As
things stood after the Friday
contest, the Tornado will have
to make it 3-1 over the GP
quintet, if it is to gain for
the third straight time one of
the two conference berths in
the state tournament.

close range. The Tornado did
get some close-in opportuni
ties but cashed in on them
only seven times.
However, the Cavemen did
not succeed entirely in their
effort to halt Medford's Bob
Quinney. ;V h e n he couldn't
get close, he hit from the side
and deep, totaling eight field
goals. He drew nine chances
from the free heave line and
swished eight. That gave him
