The Pear city Hurricane clipped the league - heading Crater Comets 67 to 58 here at a jammed-full Hedrick gym. A week of lighter work paid off for the Tornadoes. They held no scrimmages in their four days of preparation. Aim was to play their games on Friday and Saturday nights rather than in the middle of the week. It worked for Fri day night. Medford's will to win cag ers played strong defense and they were the sharper, surer, steadier team over the full joute. They took the lead early and held it the remain der of the game. Victory, how ever, was not secure until the final moments of the hassle. The Tornadoes built up a 13 point difference in the second quarter but the fighting Fire balls came up to within a point in the third. Forde Spurs Then, Medford widened and held the Comets off by five to nine point margins. The Hur ricanes turned to ball control in the tail end of the closing period and in the final mo ments led by 11. Jack Forde's scoring and backboard talents, the shoot ing of Dick Deffley, the re bounding work of Jim Hill and Rich Benner and the stellar, scrappy floor play of ballhawking Dan Miles, along with Larry Vowell and Deff ley, went into the making of the triumph. The Tornado's victory was its third in seven conference games. Crater suffered its sec ond loss and seven.

In fact, the VW's body goes through a revolving welding' gizmo at "'" into one hunk of sleel. 113,000 welds per truck: you'd think they were building a ship.) How strong does this make the VW truck? Strong enough to carry procticoily a ton of stuff. (1,830 pound?, to bs exact.! The omazing thing is that the VW weighs only about half as much as 0 conventional, light-duty truck. Yet, it's strong enough to hold olmost twice as much. Of course, the fact that rl.e VW doesn't have a rodiotor or o drive shaft or a long front hood, helps keep the weight down ond the economy up. The nice thing is that you can drive this strongbox ond still put your profits In the bank.
