3-2 in pre-loop campaigning.
"Eugene outplayed us all
the way in the first half," said
Medford coach Frank Roel
andt of the fracas, "The boys
scrambled back in the second j
half but it was not quite
enough.'
Medford held a 50 to 49
edge at the start of the final
quarter. But with 5:15 left to
go, Jerry Gjesvold, one of the
Axemen cogs of the evening,
hemped a jump shot to put his
club ahead 0 stay at 53 to 51.
Willii Scores 23
In the next 1 Va minutes
South upped its span to 57
to 52. Medford closed in and
on a jumper by Mike Barnes
with 2:25 remaining to trail
by just 58 to 59. But the Tor
nado did not score again.
Jack Willis was for the sec
ond night the big power for
the Willamette valley school.
He totaled 23 pointers and 14
rebounds to head his team.
Gjesvold had a 16-marker tab
ulation and Bob Officer added
12 points and 10 retrieves.
Jack Forde was the main
shooter and retriever for the
Whirlwinds with 18 points
and 10 snares. Mike Neatha
mer scored 11.
Actual scoring difference
for the teams was at the free
toss stripe. The Axemen flip
ped in 21 of 32 charity at
tempts while Medford tossed
in 10 of 18. Tornado players
had 24 field goals and Eu
gene 22.
Medford Shoots .421
The Tornados in defeat
edged the Axemen in field
average and in nabbing the
ball from off the boards. Med
ford shot a hot .421. South
hit at the rate of .415. Re
bound difference was 36 to 30.
The teams were tied 16-all
at the yuarter, at the half
time South Eugene was in
front 35 to 28.
Medford defeated South 70
to 52 on Friday.
The Tornadoes now focus
attention on the start of their
Southern Oregon conference
slate. They open at the gym
of defending state champ
Grants Pass on Jan. 4.
Coach Roelandt said that
ball handling and team de
fense will get much attention
in the meantime.

Charles Ingalls scored 24
points for Butte Valley. Randy
Corliss was high for St.

ond half.
St. Mary's won the junior
varsity tilt 47 to 34. The Cru

Beavers Get Ready for Far
West Classic With 3-3 Mark
By United Press International
Oregon State's Bcavers-off
to what some basketball en
thusiasts regard as a disap
pointing start - began get
ting ready for the Far West
Classic today.
The four-day eight-team
tourney will open Wednesday
night at the Memorial Coli
seum in Portland.
The highly regarded Beav
ers, who have split their op
ening six games, returned
here Sunday night following
the Kentucky invitational
tournament at Lexington Fri
day and Saturday nights.
Oregon State was beaten by
West Virginia 70-65 in its first
game and topped Iowa 61-55
in its second contest to cap
ture third place in the four
team tourney. Kentucky de
feated West Virginia 79-75
in the finals of the meet.
The Beavers have won the
Classic every year since it
was inaugurated in 1956.
In opening round games of
the Classic, Iowa faces Ari
zona at 7:30 p.m. and Oregon
meets Washington State at
9:30 p.m. Wednesday and Cal
ifornia takes on Seattle at
7:30 p.m. and Oregon State
battles Idaho at 9:30 p.m.
Thursday.
Toughest Bet
Oregon State, California, Se
attle and Arizona are regard
ed as the toughest bets to win
the tournament.
Big Mel Counts scored 18
points and football star Ter
ry Baker added 14 to spark
Oregon State to its victory
over Iowa. The Beavers led
at halftime 32-19.
The Big Six is more than
well represented at Portland
in California, which split with
the Beavers in a great series
and has otherwise won them
11. The Bears took care of
Wyoming, 60-55, Saturday.
Another ambitious contend
er will be Seattle which was
distinguished in defeat Sat-
turday as it lost to fourth
ranked Loyola of Chicago, 93
83. Arizona disposed of Colo
rado, 60-52, Saturday night.
It's a Merry Christmas -,eek
for west coast basketball fans
with two other fine tourna
ments due to start Dec. 26.
Judging from Saturday
night's action, the West's cage
powerhouses are raring to go.
The Los Angeles Classic
features four of the Big Six's
best and four tough visitors.
Stanford Favored
Unbeaten Stanford rates as
the slight favorite, especial
ly after Saturday's easy 72-
46 win over Texas. Tom Dose
hit 19 for the Cards, who led
40-18 at the half.
But USC which will also be
at Los Angeles, has not lost
one cither. Troy had to go all
out Saturday to edge Nebras
ka, 55-53, at Omaha. Al
Young's last-second tip-in de-
tided it.
UCLA is another tough cus
tomer in the Los Angeles com
petition. The Bruins bounced
Big Ten foes Northwestern
and Wisconsin on a midwest
invasion last week. It was
UCLA 77 Wisconsin 63 Satur
day at Madison with five play
ers scoring between 11 and
113 for UCLA.
Such fierce competitors as
Utah State 7-2, Colorado State
4-3 and basketball happy St.
Louis U. will also be around
at Los Angeles.
Only Wasshington 3-2 and
Northwestern 2-5 appear out
classed in this one.
The third tournament is the
West Coast Athletic Confer
ence meet at San Francisco
and will involve the seven
conference members and Port
land.
The WCAC took its lumps
Saturday night when Utah
edged St. Mary's 80-75, and
Loyola of New Orleans boun
ced USF, 68-64, in a game
which saw the winners use
the same five men through
out. Loyola of Los Angeles was
especially humiliated, losing
the consolation game at the
Long Beach Invitational to the
host Long Beach State Club,
68-61.
The Long Beach finals saw
two Midlands teams fight it
out with Oklahoma State edg
ing Drake. 61-59.
Bronci Favored
If there is a favorite in the
Dec. 28 WCAC tournament, it
is probably twice beaten San
ta Clara, but anybody could
grab this one.
About the only major West
ern team not playing in one
of these three tournaments is
the club that could be the
coast's best. Arizona State al
Tempe.
The once-beaten by two
points Sun Devils won their
38th consecutive home game
Saturday by demolishing Min
nesota, 98-79
Soph Dennis Dairman led
everybody with 25 points.
ASU hit 65 per cent from the
field in the first half.

Texans Edge Oilers
In 'Sixth Quarter'
By ED FITE
Houston, Tex. - tUPP - The
Dallas Texans used five cru

261.80 and the Oilers $1,
471.09. The Oilers romped to n
touchdown the first time they
got the ball in the second half
with George Blanda flipping
15-yards to Willard Dcwveall
for the score. The Oiler de
fense, sparked by reserve end
Bill Wegener, tackle Ed Hus-
mann and linebacker Doug
Clinc, proceeded to throw a
at Anaheim. Chapman nudged

sults included Alameda State
55, San Diego 43, third place,
