Pet Crater 3 -667 Klamath rails 6 4 . .600 Granta Pau 8 4 .353 Madtord ,. 3 .500 Aihland 2 .200 ' Note to those who might have abandoned hope on the Southern Oregon conference basketball chances of the Black Tornado: Mcdford high's Twisters of the maplecourt have NOT giv en up on themselves. While there's life there's hope and the Big Wind is still lively In the race. The Tornadoes showed that they were but definitely still "in it" Saturday night by mastering the Grants Pass Cavemen in the Climate City to the west. Medford snapped what had been called "Cave man domination" by 51 to 44. It was the first hoop triumph for Medford over GP in six successive league tilts. . Victory gave the Medfords, who beat Ashland Friday, a break-even, standing in the conference at .5-5, And, al though the Tornado still is running fourth, its second tri umph of the week end left it Just 1V4 games back of the loop leading Crater (6-3) Com- GP Leads Briefly Grants Pass, bidding Satur day for at least a share of leadership, was held in third spot at 5-4, just a half-game ahead of Medford. In the bat tle for one of two places in the state tourney from Dis trict 6 A-l, the Tornado is Just one game back of second place Klamath Falls (6-4) with six games yet to play. ' Except for a brief period in the middle third canto, Medford led throughout its Saturday ruckus. In the final panel the Tornado erected -a 10-point span. This was too much in the spirited final 2'2 minutes for the Cavemen to overcome as Medford turned to a control game and Grants Pass fought desperately for possession of the ball. Jack Forde with 12 and Jim Hill , and Dick Deffley, each with 11, were Medford's main point getters. Deffley, a non-starter, picked up all of his counters in the second half when' they were needed to spurn the GP rally efforts. Hill cleared boards 14 times and Forde on 12 occasions as the Tornadoes and the Cave men about matched pace In rebound play, Shspard Ties . Bob Shepard totaled 13 markers for Grants Pass and Al Hutchins had 12 along with 13 board retrieves. Grants Pass, which suffer ed its first loss in three games with Medford this season, first tied up the fracas on rebound basket by Shepard two min utes into the second half for 26-all. A minute and a quar ter later Hutchins netted from the free line for 27 to 26 edge. Deffley knotted the game at the gift line and four min utes into the half Dan Miles' long jumping pusher gave Medford 29 to 27 nod. Hutch ins countered with a long push basket to tie the tray at 29 but with 3 Vit minutes left in the quarter Forde plunked a driver for Tornado margin of 31 to 28. The Pear city crew headed the rest of the way. Quarter tallies were 18 to 11, 25 to 21 and 41 to 36. Hutchlns hemped a pusher In the opening seconds of the fourth period to cut the dif ference to three points. But another of Miles' long shots and Defflcy's push from the corner made it 45 to 30. Jim Pippin of GP exchanged free shots with Miles. Hutchins came up with a gifter but Deffley i long poke establish ed 48 to 40 with three min utes remaining in the mix. Miles' driver looped in un derhand, that brought the 10 point spread at 50 to 40. Hutchins' two free points reduced the difference to eight with 2:11 on the clock. Medford turned to keep away. With 1:26 to go Gibb Mitchell lost the ball on a violation. Forde, reaching with his long arms Intercept ed the ball for Medford but Tom Sparlin and Shepard tied up Deffley. The ball went out' of bounds on the jump, It was ruled Forde touched it and GP took possesion, Wtih 38 seconds to go Pip pin put in a drive-in goal. With 24 remaining Hill was fouled and missed his shot but with 13 to go got another chance and made the first of two for the game's final point. Nine Point Gaps Shepard had one more shooting opportunity for GP before the game was over, Medford saw two early leads of nine points erased First gap that big was when a Forde shot from the side of the slot made the count 20 to 11, GP cut it to five points on Pippin's fast break goal and on a Lyman Keisccker JV, Soph Frays Won By Tornado Saturday evening at Grants Pass was made perfect for the Medford High school Black Tornado when the Junbr var sity and sophomore aggrega tions joined the varsity in winning basketball encount ers. The junior varsity was win ner by 60 to 49 and the soph club by 51 to 45. Medford's jay vecs turned a close game Into a runaway by outscoring the j.'.nior Cavemen 16 to five after a 44-alI knot In the fourth quarter. Period counts were 19 to 11, 31 to 29 a.id 44 to 40 for the Tornado. Big Bill Enyart had 18 points and 13 re bounds and Ron Edmonds 16 tallies. John Mahalcy tossed In 15 for GP and Jerry Mc- Cormack 11. Edmonds Scores A basket by John Maynard and two free tosses by Ma- haley tied up the game at 44-all, Edmonds hit from the field to put Medford ahead for keeps. Medford shot 21 of 64 from the field for .328. The Tornado sophs were on lop 26 to 16 at the half and 41 to 30 at the three fourths mark after 9-all first quarter deadlock. Grants Pass used a press to advantage in the last quarter r d cut the Med ford spread down to two points at 42 t n with three minutes to play. Mike Bicklcr with 14 points and Lynn Flanders with 13 were high men for Medford and L-we was lops for GP with 14. JAYVKK LINKUPS: Mrdlord 6(1 Knyarl 18. Kenlla 9, Knight 9. Kdmonde 16. Allen 2.

But Hill hit a Jumper from the side and scored on a fast break for 24 to 15 mar gin. i The Cavemen used tallies by Keisecker, Shepard and Lindquist to close the span to 24 to 21. Rich Benner's free heave completed the first half scoring. GranU Pass used a Shepard free shot and his basket on a break to challenge the Tor nado as the second half be gan. Forde put in a Tornado free point and Shepard pop ped in his tying bucket. After Forde gave Medford the lead for good at 31 to 29, a Hill rebound and Deffley pusher made it 35 to 29. But, the scrap was narrowed to 35 to 34 on Glenn Scott's gifter and Shepard and Rcddick goals. Hill turned in the key and drove for two points and Hutchlns responded with a long range goal. It was 37 to 36. Two free tallies and a goal by Deffley made it 41 to 36. Grants Pass worked the ball better at times but Medford did better from the field and defensively checked the Cave men from all but the one sus tained rally effort. The Tor nadoes roped 20 field goals at .408 firing rate, compared to the Cavemen's 16 at .372. The Climate city club, how ever, did better on Its fewer opportunities at the free heave line, making 12 of 16 chances to Medford's 11 of 25. Grants Pass had 36 to 35 rebound edge. Although Medford and GP have met three times, Satur day's game was the first chance for Benncr of the Tor nado to play against, his for mer Caveman teammates. The steady player, who bolsters Medford with his height, miss ed the two previous scrapes because of his broken wrist. Hill, who has been plagued by fouls this season, was in there at the finish Saturday.

The fourth round of the $33,000 event was scheduled to be played Sunday, but a combination of rain, wind and hail swept over the Arizona Country Club course in mid afternoon, cancelling all scores. For some it was a tough break, for others it may mean money in the bank. Palmer had a 54-hoIe total of 203 strokes-the same num ber he had when he teed off Sunday. He went only two holes before the storm broke and was even par. But Gary Player, who had started the day one shot be hind him with 204, had fin ished four holes and was two under par, and theoretically in the tournament lead. Jack Nicklaus, winner of the Palm Springs classic last week, also was even par for the two holes he played Sunday. He is tied with Player.
