And, it will bear watching, but definitely, when it goes to Eugene next week to defend the Oregon A-l championship it won last year. After Saturday, the Med fords had cause to celebrate. Filled with a strong de termination, a resolve not to be outdone by any other con ference member, the No. 6 rated Black Tornado function ed with a solid team effort and bowled over the Klamath Union high Pelicans, No. 1 and 2 ranked within the state, by a rousing, deceive count of 72 to 56 at Klamath Falls. In rampaging to its i7th triumph in 22 games in 1960 61, Medford became the third team this season to strip the Pelicans of their feathers. The Big Wind's victory margin was the most onesided. Used Zone Defense Making a rare use of zone defense, the Medfords employ d their fast break with fair jffensive effectiveness to take tharge near the start and stay rn top through the fracas. And, in the closing moments ihe Tornadoes were able to trupt against the KF pressing defense to win going away vith easy buckets. Klamath Falls, three times winner this year over the Uedfordiles, rules as confer mce and District 6 A-l titlist with its 14-2 standing but the Hurricane of the Rogue Val .ey, with 12-4, certainly fin shed stronger and could look with bolstered confidence to ihe tourney at Eugene. Satur fay's victory was Medford's iourth straight. Klamath lost iwo of its last four frays. Medford will go into slate lournney action on the after loon of Wednesday March 15, igainst Tillamook. The Pel cans, 19-3 for the season, en fage St. Helens on the night jefore. Tillamook is champ of he Tualatin - Yamhill Valley eague and St. Helens was unnerup. Duinney Has 22 Headed by the scoring of Bob Quinney and Jim Barry ind the rebounding of Quin ley and with Dick Ragsdale, Stan Dowson and Bruce Bray, ind Scott Eaton in reserve, working in a well-knit unit, ;he Tornado had 11 to 9, 30 o 26 and 45 to 38 period ad rantages. Quinney had 22 joints for Medford and Barry letted 19 as he put in seven of seven foul toss tries to run his free shot streak to 27 with out a miss. Wally Palmberg scored 22 for Klamath. Quinney retrieved the ball 10 times as Medford led in rebounding 31 to 21. Bruce Brickner cleared the boards on eight occassions for the Pels. The Tornado outgunned Klamath from the field 26 to 20 and on average .433 to .408. Medford put in 20 free heaves to KF s 16. For the first time in 12 years a Frank Roelandt-coach-ed Medford aggregation utiliz ed zone defense throughout a game. Roelandt, who gave his boys the full credit for the triumph, declared that the zone was "effective at times" and "threw them (the Peli can) off their game." The de fensive strategy held down Pel shooting opportunities, for sure, and the Klamaths did not hit frrm outside with the deadly accuracy that they have in previous games. Barry Praised The Tornado held Bruce Brickner to one goal for three quarters (He hit four shots in the fourth). Gary Patzke, who usually scores well for the KF club, had only three points for the night. Said Roelandt, "The kids were out there tooth and nail. They were ready. They got the confidence they need and they are ready lo go" (to the state tournament). Guard Barry drew special praise as a "great competitor." He suffered a turned ankle in the first half. It was taped tightly at halftime and Barry continued in action through the game. He was slowed but yet played as "if nothing had ever happened." Bray, taking over a starting role in place of Steve Hoots, who sprained an ankle in practice last week, came through with top performance on his defensive checking and One NW Loop Tilt Planned For Medford Portland -OTIl- President Jim Fleishman said Sunday that Medford might field a baseball learn in the Class B Northwest league in 1962. Fleishman told league of ficials at their annual spring meeting here thai there is interest in Medford in join ing the six-team circuit. He said at least one regularly scheduled game would prob-, ably be held there this year. League officials also dis cussed arraging exhibition games between their teams and Pacific Coast league clubs. steady ball handling. The Tornado held a 12-point spread at 56 to 44 with five minutes remaining in the tus sle. Advantage slipped to nine points at 57 to 48 with four minutes to play and 59 to 50 with 3!2 minutes left. But, Medford got buckets by Dow son, Quinney and Ragsdale and pairs of free throws by Ragsdale and Barry while Brickner put in a lone field goal for Klamath. With just over a minute remaining the score was 68 to 52. Dowson, with two baskets, closed out the tabulation for Medford j while his points were match-! ed for Klamath on shots by Brickner and Palmberg. j The game had a wild, rough finish as Klamath pressed and j the Tornado offensed against it. j Klamath Falli won the jun-. lor varsity tussle 67 to 58 and in the sophomore game Med ford "went like crazy" to top its Pel foe for the first time this season 78 to 69. Medford had a 29 to 27 halftime lead in the junior varsity test. Dave Stippick with 18 markers and Bob Dearing with 17 spurred the KF club. Dan Miles had 15 for Medford. The Tornado sophs were superior by a bigger degree than the score indicated. They built up a wide gap and re serves completed the action. Modford had 21 to 13, 44 to 27 and 59 to 49 stanza differ ences. Mike Railton, with 18, led four Medford players in double counter figures. Piper, with 17, led KF, which also had four men with 10 or better. BOX: Jlcdfnrd FG Dowson, f 7-4 Bray.

In winning the District championship, their first in 22 years, the Hornets nabbed a berth in the upcoming State A-2 tournament in Coos Bay, March 13-14-15. In the consolation game, Sutherlin's rangy Bulldogs downed Glide, 50-36, for third place. Henley, hitting at a .268 pace the first half and .361 for the game, was in command all the way as the snapshoot ing of Ray Brown and Bob Chapman paved the way to a 17-7 first quarter advantage. By halftime, the Hornets had capitalized on a lightning-like fast break and used some key baskets by Bert Allbritton to pull out to a 26-13 margin. All Hornets In the third and final pe riods it was all Henley, par ticularly the third. In that fatal stanza, both the Lake view offense and defense crumbled and the Hornets rolled in 24 points while the Honkers were managing only nine. Allbritton hit 10 of 14 shots from the field to lead all scor ers with 22 tallies. He sat out the entire final period. Floyd Kendall backed up Allbritton's high total with a 10-poitrt effort, most from out side the key, Teammate Kent Gooding, a 6-7 sophomore spire, hauled down 17 re bounds and Allbritton 10, but the Henley crew was on the lower end of a 63-53 differ ence in that department. Reserve Gary Reynolds top ped Lakeview scorers with 11 as the Honkers hit from the field at a chilly .200 pace the opening half before finish ing with the same .200 mark. In the consolation tilt, Suth erlin's big height advantage began paying off early in the second stanza and the Bull dogs moved out to a 25-19 margin at the half. But, the short and fighting Wildcats from Glide never quit, keeping within five or six points throughout the en- tire third period. Sutherlin was forced to avoid the both ersome Glide defense by stall ing out the final minutes. Jim Foster, high pointer of the game with 15 points, con tributed some timely free throws near the end to ice the game for the winners. Ed Hill followed up Foster's total with 12 counters while also snagging 15 rebounds. Teammates Jim Trimmer and Roger Walling were close be hind with 13 and 12 snares respectively as the Bulldogs held a 47-34 advantage in that department. Sutherlin hit nine of 27 field shots the opening half, then finished with a warm .400 pace on 22 of 55 shots. Glide, hitting nine of 28 in the first two periods, trailed off to a .263 percentage on IS of 57. Ron Policy paced Glide's attack with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
