Crater Hoopsters
defeat Warriors
Central Point - Crater High
school's lively Comets met
their severest test of the still
young basketball season suc
cessfully here Saturday night
by demonstrating sparkling
ability to come from behind.
The Fireballs of Central
Point made it a scries sweep
over tlie Warriors of Leban
on high by downing the Val
ley league aggregation 64 to
48. Crater won the Friday
fracas 73 to 54.
Victory gave the Comets a
6-0 standing for prc-league
competition. They'll carry the
undefeated record into South
ern Oregon conference play.
Lebanon, unmarrcd before
coming here is now 3-2.
For a time Saturday it look
ed as if the Warriors might
retaliate for their Friday loss.
After nip and tuck early go
ing they pulled to a five
point midway margin.
The Comets, however,
caught up in three minutes
time. They fell behind again
by four then surged into the
lead for keeps. Crater moved
to an 11 -point gap in the clos
ing stanza, saw its spread slip
to eight tallies then expand
ed to a 17-point advantage.
Glines Hits 20
Mike Glines with 20 mark
ers and Lou Alvarez with 15
spurred the Commcts in the
scoring. Paul Bransom col
lected 20 rebounds and con
tributed key points. His 10
counters and Howard Tom
linson's 12 gave the Fireballs
four men in double scoring
figures.
Tim Dlanchet, who sat out
a crucial part of the tussle
when he suffered an injury to
his mouth, scored 14 points
for the Warriors. Dig Dave
Sturgis had 12 counters and
15 rebounds for the Valley
club and tall Ron Price clear
ed the backboard on 11 occa
sions. Crater despite the stiffer
conflict against a taller team
had slight edge in the re
bound retrieves.
Score was 14-all at the
quarter 30 to 25 for Lebanon
at the half and 40 to 34 for
Crater after three panels had
gone by.
The Comets closed Ihe half
wav uau on two free shots by
Bransom and one by Tomlin
aon and Bransom's turning
iumuer from the circle. Thai
made it 30-all. Sturgis goaled
or Lebanon on a feed by
Price and Bill Bush tossed
in two free shots for the War
riors. Those four points for
34 to 30 were the only ones
ones the visitors got in the
third session.
Ahead For Good
Alvarez countered with a
driver ami Bransom with a
one-hand rebounder to make
it 34-all with three minutes
left in the quarter. A long
pusher by Glines made it 30
to 34 with 1:50 left and Cra
ter was ahead to stay. Pal
Pepper also swished the net
from far out and Bransom's
tipper completed the scoring
in the period.
Sturgis took a feed off the
fourth quarter tip off and put
in a gill heave to cut Med
ford's advantage to 40 to 37.
But. the Cornels proved equal
to the threat. Glines drove
mound the post for a bucket.
Alvarez polled a Jump shut
and scored on a fast break aft
er Tomlinsnn's interception.
Toinlinsnn hit a pusher for
48 to 37.
Blanrhard put in a field
bucket and two free tosses
and Sieve Simpson two char
ily throws for the Warriors
while Alvarez netted a goal
and Glines a gittcr for the
t'umi'ls, Score was 51 to 43.
Tomlinsnn scored oft a
Glines' pass and Glines all
cr canning a driver off a Pep
per interception, added a free
shot for ftti to 43.
A long lihinchurd push was
offset by another Glines drive
and two lopper free shots.
Blanchard hit again from
loir; range but Crater came
back with two free heaves
by Willie Jones and an In
terception and drive goal by
Glines for Ihe 17-poliil dif
ference at 04 to 47.
Warriors Dtlibaratt
There were three leBd
switches in the fust half and
four lie scores. Last dead
lock in the first half was al
18-all. Lebanon went ahead
from that point and stayed
in front until Crater came up
in the third quarter.
Good defense and a rather
deliberate offensive game
paid off for the Warriors in
the first half. The L'omeU
went along with this style of
play lor a tune and It was
not until Crater turned to
Its livelier, faster fashion that
the tide turned In Comet fa
vor. The Cornels also warm
ed up in their field shooting
over the lat two quarters
after a cool first half. Swipes
and interceptions helped them
in the scrap.
Crater fired at a .3."7 av
erage from Ihe field to .310
by the Warriors.
nianchal, apparently hit In
DECEMBER 24. 1962
the mouth, left the game in
the mid-third quarter and did
not return to the battle un
til well into the fourth. Jer
ry Joslin turned in a good
floor game for the visitors
and 6-3 Sturgis was always
dangerous in the vicinity of
the hoop.
The Comets, who have been
accorded a darkhorse role in
the Southern Oregon confer
ence, resume drills Wednes
day in preparation for league
games.

Machen's Problem Was
'Frustration' Not Lack
Of Money Says Flaherty
Portland IUPD- The mana
ger of Eddie Machen said
over the week end that the
heavyweight fighter's break
down was caused by "frustra
tion and not lack of money."
Sid Flaherty, recently re
turned after going to the Napa
State hospital in California to
talk with doctors following
Machen's commitment, said
"Eddie was frustrated at nev
er getting a title shot." The
Portland boxer threatened su
icide. "He's been a top heavy
weight for a long time and
has deserved to fight for the
championship," he said.
"It's not true that he did
not have any money. He had
signed a contract with me for
a fight with Johnny Riggins
in Billing9, Mont. I gave him
$500 and told him I would
give him another $1,500 in
a couple of days for his ex
penses. Eddie isn't destitute.
He has some means."

Denny Moyer, said "then the
next thing I hear is that he's
had this breakdown in Cali
fornia." He added "Machen could
see the years slipping away
after so many efforts. Sure,
he was depressed and frus
trated. Who wouldn't be?"
Flaherty said he thought
there was a chance that Ma
chen might fight again. "The
doctors told me boxing, as
such, wasn't the reason for
his breakdown. Remember,
business people sometimes
have these breakdowns and
they don't quit."
