L. Medford Granti Pan ........ 8 Crater 8 5 Klamath Falla 7 7 Ashland 3 IS Throwing off the spectre of threatening defeat, the on rushing Medford high Black Tornado staged a tempestuous fourth quarter rally here Fri day night to keep Its basket ball winning streak a-running and to project itself at long last into the leadership of the Southern Oregon conference. The hurricaning hoopmen overcame the Cavemen of Grants Pass 58 to 52. For the Medfords it was the sixth con secutive triumph in the con ference. Victory gave them a 9-5 league record and top rung in the standings for the first time this season. The loss made Grants Pass 8-5 In the circuit and in a second place knot with Cra ter. Both GP and Crater, play ing respectively against Klam ath Falls and Ashland, had opportunity last night, how ever, to pull up even with the Tornado. After three close quarters, It looked, as the final canto got under way, as if the Cave men had broken open the fracas and were on the way to triumph. They had an eight point margin at 47 to 39 with 7V4 minutes left to play. But, the Tornadoes came storming back through the stealing ef forts of Jack Forde, Mike Neathamer, Jim Hill, Gibb Mitchell, Dan Miles and Larry Vowell. Hill put in a pair of free (hots.

And, with 5:42 on the block Forde hit a slick pivot shot for 48 to 45. With five minutes left, Al Hutchins of the Climate city momentarily stalled the Twis ter with a fielder from the side. Bui, a shot by Forde bounced around on the rim and fell In and Hill scored from under the hoop on a Miles feed. The Cavemen edge was just 50 to 4D. The clock read 3:34 re maining when GP's soft-shooting Hutchins was banished for his fifth foul and Forde put in both tries for 51 to 50. Medford was ahead to slay. The Tornado secured the ball on a Grants Pass viola tion, worked It carefully, try ing for a sure shot then took time out. Seconds after play resumed, Neathamer scorched the strings with a lightning driver shot. Then, he added Injury to the scoring insult by pulling off a swipe. Hill was fouled with 1:39 to go and made both shots for 55 to 50, Lyman Keisecker missed on a free try for the Cavemen of Coach Gordon Prelim. Grants Pass rebounded but Forde got a jump boll and Medford controlled. A charg ing foul on a Mcdfordite gave the ball back to GP. With 58 seconds on the clock Jim Pip pin put in a long push shot for Grants Pass. Vowell made good on one of two free chances for Med ford and Forde retrieved the ball after the missed second shot. Neathamer added the last two Medford points on glfters. Then the Hedrick gym was scene of pandemonium. Lead changed hnnds 11 times in the tremendous game and there were six deadlocks.

It was at the free line where the points came that made the difference. The Tor nadoes hit a hot .800 on 20 of 25 while GP scored 10 on 14. Grants Pass had the edge in field shooting and rebound ing. The Cavemen goaled 21 times from the field on 42 shots for even .500 bombard ment. Medford had a hot .432 on 19 of 44. Rebounds were 31 to 20 for Grants Pass. Bauer had nine board clearances for GP and Hut chins eight. For Medford Hill pulled seven and Forde 8. The low number of field shots and the low rebound total were indicative of the hard defensive play and the rather deliberate nature of the game. Over three quarters of the route the Cavemen time and again came through with clutch scores that restrained Medford bids to take com mand. But, the final chapter the Twisters aggressively took the upperhand with some fine ballhawking by Neathamer and Mitchell and under the hoop scrap of Forde and Hill Local supporters were a bit subdued when GP took its widest lead but, when the gap was narrowed to 48 to 45, they began to raise the roof, seeing a comeback In the making. First quarter was the most furiously see-saw as the lead shifted on eight occasions be tween tile fiery teams. The clubs at this stage were never more than three points apart. Medford after tying the game at 17 and 19-all took a four point span on two giflcrs by Forde and a bucket by Hill for 23 to 19. But the Cavemen pulled even at 23-all on free markers and a field goal by Bauer. Medford gained 27 to 24 gap on Hill's rebounder and Nealhamcr's driver while Sparlin hit from the foul stripe for Grants Pass. But Sparlln's long push, Hutchins driver and Pippin's rebound basket manufactured a 30 to 27 load for GP. The Cnvcmcn stayed in front from there un til 2'a minutes into the sec ond half. A GP spread of 35 to 32 was erased when Miles long push and Hill's free toss evened the conflict. But Grants Pass went into the lead again on Sliepard's buck el. Spnrlin's free toss and long two-hand jump. Rod dick's driver and Bauer's free point, while Benner hit from the top of the circle for Med ford, gave GP a 43 to 37 dif ference.

Clay Rows With Ring Champion Miami Beach - IUPD - If someone doesn't keep heavy weight champion Sonny Lis ten and the No. 2 contender apart, there's apt to be blood on the training room floor. Liston has been grunting for weeks that there's noth ing he would like better than to put a big fist in Cassius Clay's big mouth. And the young, poetry-quoting Clay, one of the most talked about fighters in a long time, just keeps baiting the champ between predic tions of the death knell for opponents. "I can leave both my legs home and beat you," Liston exploded Friday in reply to Clay's harrassings. The champ held his first workout in a week for his heavyweight ti tle matcli with former champ Floyd Patterson set here April 10. Liston, a truck-sized spare for his plush, beachfront ho sign of inactivity due to a twisted right knee, shadow boxed and battered the bags . and cocked a menacing fist at Clay. "Get him out of here,'' snapped the champ. Clay hit Liston with a bar rage of verbal punches in the Fifth Street Gym which the champ has temporarily traded for his plussh, beachfront ho tel training layout. 'I'm the greatest man. You're the ugliest and I'm the prettiest . . . You got to go when we fight." This may sound like a pub licity stunt, but with a mouth like Clay's and a temper like Liston's something's got to give. The glowering champ am bled over to the ropes and cocked one of his huge fists. Clay wasn't sure whether Sonny meant It or not, but he took a healthy step out of range hastily. Sonny's trainer, Jack Nil- on, plainly unsure of the champ's plans, too, grabbed mm. "You never know when this guy's kidding," Nilon said. "I'm not taking any chances."
