Globetrotters Play
At Central Point
On Thursday Night
More than 35 million people
all over the world have seen
the Harlem Globetrotters dis
play their unusual brand of
basketball mixed with humor
ous stunts in their 36 seasons
of consecutive activity-a fig
ure that will, be increased
when the fabulous magicians
of the court play the Ameri
can league all-stars at the Cra
ter High school gym in Cen
tral Point. The game will be
Thursday, Feb. 14, starting at
8 p.m.
Even though many did not
even understand the funda
mentals of basketball, Abe
Saperstein's delightful clowns
have made people laugh in at
least 80 foreign countries.
The message they carry is a
simple one, entertainment
combined with ability, a com
bination that is the most eas
ily recognized anywhere in
the world. Proof is the Trot
ters' own story. They have
played before people who
didn't , understand a basket
from an apple box. But they
could understand talent, and
they could understand laugh
ter. Saperstein hit on the happy
combination more than 30
years ago. Always interested
in the court sport, little Abe
couldn't make it pay, regard
les of the talent he procured.
Quick Response
He came up with the idea
of playing top-flight basket
ball but throwing in a few
laughs. He has never lost his

amazement over the quick
response from the public. It
was exactly what they wanted
and he has been giving it to
them for years.
The Globetrotters are fun
damentally a basketball unit.
They get the best Negro
players available and pay
them according to their skill
and talent as do major league
baseball teams. Then they
blend in this mixture of talent
with careful comedy routines
designed solely to exploit the
exactness of the court game.
The Trotters are brilliant
perfoi iTiers who pass, dribble,
shoot and handle the ball as
only they have been able to
do. Their routines have been
copied by many teams but
never has any group even ap
proached the expertness of the
inventor.

Medford high's basketball
aggregation, burning the hoop
nets from the field and dom
inating the backboard play,
trounced Ashland High
school's Grizzlies 71 to 49 in
the Southern Oregon confer

and Larry Vowell, the re

Hill, Forde and Rich Benner
and the ballhawking of short

the triumph.
Medford fired .563 from the
field for the fracas, including
.667 in the third panel and
carried the fight in the first
and third sessions to whip the

three games for Medford over
Ashland. The Tornadoes
stormed over the Grizzlies 75
to 41 in January. But, the
Bruins came back to trip the
Medfords 64 to 62 last week
end for their first conference
triumph since 1959.
Victory Friday gave the
Tornado a fourth-place con
ference record of 4-5. Ashland
is 1-8.
Medford had four men in
double scoring figures, Forde
with 21 points, Vowell with
16 and Dan Miles and Hill
each with 10. Vowell hit eight Rw
for 10 from the free toss
stripe. Jim Lamb tabulated 11
for the Bruins and Rick Pierce
and Gale Teppcr each nine.
Tepper threw In five for five
from the line.
Tornado tabulations show
ed a 49 to 27 Medford margin
in retrieving of rebounds with
Hill clearing 16 times, Fordo
11 and Benner nine.
Close Shots Pay
Ability of the Medfords to
get good close shots paid off
handsomely, although there
were times when momentum
ruined chances. Ashland hit as
many goals in close as it did
from outside but Medford de
fense pretty well checked the
Grizzlies at close range until
late stages of the game.
The Black Tornado was
never behind Friday. Forde
produced the first score when
the game was a half-minute
old with a goal from near the
top of the circle. Medford out
scored the Grizzlies in every
stanza, 18 to 10 in the first, 15
to 14 in the second and 14 to
13 in the last. Widest Tornado
gap was 23 points at 59 to 36
in the opening minute of the
final quarter.
First quarter score was the I
exact duplicate of the one
Feb. 2 at Ashland. In that
game Ashland bounced back
into the ruckus by ouusuoring
Medford 20 to 10 in the sec
ond period. The Grizzlies Fri
day threatened to overtake
the Big Wind once again.
Gritzlies Narrow
Mostly the canto was a
point for point match. But, the
Grizzlies narrowed a 28 to 18
Medford margin down to four
points at 23 to 24 on two free
throws, a jumper from the
slot and a rebound bucket, all
by Lamb.
ITicn Benner sank a pusher
from the side, Vowell made
his second clever scoring
swipe of the period and Furde
netted a free shot. Medford
led 33 to 24 at the half.
Medford out-tallied Ashland
13 to 6 in the opening three
minutes of the third quarter
as Forde, Hill, Vowell and
Gibb Mitchell got into the
scoring act. And Medford whs
firmly in command with 48
to 30. Then the Tornado heav
ed in five gift tallies to Ash
land's one for a 20-point
spread of 51 to 31. Lamb and
Gale Teppcr came back with
baskets but Miles shot twice
off fast breaks and Vowell
fired twice from the gift
; stripe as Medford went to its
third period halt advantage.
Forde marie it 59 to 36 as
the last panel began but Ash
, land rallied for nine points to
Medford's two to cut the gap
i to 16 points at 61 to 45. Pierce
; helped the Grizzlies here with
! two long pushers. Mike Cot
! ton recovered a loose ball
, under the hoop and scored
: and made a rebound try off a
j missed free throw. Medford
held the Bruins off with two
' driven by Dick Deffley and
one by Hill, two tree heaves
by Deffley and a Bill Houston
goal while Lamb and Greg
Lindley bucketed for the Ash-
landers.
Medford's high field aver
age was on 27 goals in 51
tries, including eight for 12 in
the third chucker. Ashland
shot 18 for 51 for a .353 mark.
