Central Point-Grants Pass points for the Cavemen. His
High school's Cavemen
steady, sure, workmanlike and
blistering hot in the early
portion of the fracas, were
within one game of an Oregon
Class A l basketball tourna
ment berth after subduing
Crater High's Comets here on
Friday night.
The Climate city aggrega
tion, ambitious to defend its
1062 big school diadem,
scorched the strings to run
up a a wide first half margin
then endured intense Fire
ball rally efforts to down the
Comets of Central Point 78
to 67 before a jampacked
crowd.
Spurred by Marty Bauer, Al
Hutchins and Jim Pippin, with
some solid work by Lyman
Keisecker and Tom Sparlin,
the Cavemen pounded to 21
point second quarter spreads.
Crater made a fiery, valiant
bid to rise up and overtake
the visitors. They had the de
ficit down twice to five points
but could not come any closer.
The tussle left Grants Pass
sure of at least a tie for the
Southern Oregon conference
honors. Crater ws still in
the running, however, for the
mantle and for a playoff for
one of the league's stale tour
ney spots.
Grants Pass went into lust
night's regular loop finale
at Ashland with a 10-5 mark,
tied for the leadership with
Medford which entertained
Crater (0-6) also In a regular
conference concludcr fray.
The Climate cityltcs of
coach Gordon Prchm zipped
through 11 of 14 tries from
the field in the first quarter
in garnering a 25 to 15 ad
vantage. They cooled to seven
of 16 in the second period but
nol' before holding spreads of
38 to 17 and 42 to 21. Crater
narrowed the GP lead to 42
to 28 by halftimc. In the third
quarter, the Comets of coach
Lloyd Hoffinc really got a
blaze and battled back. At
the end of that stanza, the GP
gap was down to seven points
at 53 to 46.
Soft-shooting Hutchins, with
10 field buckets, scored 25

the Comets Howard Tomlin
son, with 10 of 14 from the
free stripe, had a point aggre
gate of 22. Mike Glincs had
13 and Paul Bransom 12, as
the five starters did all the
Crater scoring and all were in
double figures.
Bauer pulled 11 rebounds,
Pippin 10 and Hutchins nine
as Grants Pass dominated
backboard work in the early
action had a game margin of
45 to 31. Bransom cleared 15
and Tomlinson nine for Crater.
Grants Pass shot 28 of 60
from the field for the game
for .467 while Crater hit 22

termined third quarter with
a seven field goal surge. Tom
linson, Glincs, Pat Pepper
and Lou Alvarez hit orf long
puhes, Bransom on a feed
and a tipin and Tomlinson on
a driver.
The difference was down to
five points 51 to 46 with 53
seconds left in the quarter
but Biuicr scored on a Bob
Shepard feed for the end of
the period standing.
Pepper made it five poinls
apart at 53 to 48 as the final
period began but a flock of
free shots enabled the Cave
men to widen again. Hutchins
started it with a three-point
play, field goal and free toss.
Pippin added two more gift
crs. Hutchins put in two more
and Bransom's distress at the
infraction call drew a techni
cal foul call from referee Jim
Bocchi and a free shot by
Pippin. With 5:42 to play,
Hutchins goalcd from the
side and GP led 63 to 48.
The pressing Cornels fought
the ball-controlling Grants
Pass crew hard to cut the def
icit again and came within
seven points in a finish which
was tense until the final moments.

did not gel a field basket un
til about two minutes before
halftime. Their only points,
in the meantime, were two
gift points by Alvarez, four by
Pepper. Bauer, Pippin, Hutch
ins and Gary Reddick joined
the scoring act for the Cave
men. Glines then anded the field
drought with a long pusher.
Tomlinson hit a free point and
then a driver on an Alvarez
feed and Alvarez scored on a
break with Tomlinson inter
cepting and passing.
The game was rough and
out of hand at times.
Alvarez put in two free
shots and Bransom a pusher
from the side for 63 to 52.
Tomlinson came back with a
fielder after a Pippin free try
for 64 to 54. Bauer and Glines
exchanged baskets and Pippin
and Glincs braces of free tries
for 68 to 58.
Hutchins tipped the ball in
off a missed free shot. Tom
linson countered off an Al
varez feed and put in a char
ily shot for 70 to 61 with
1:30 to goal. Sparlin hit a
jumper for JP. However, Tom
linson put in two free heaves
and Pepper a long pusher for
72 to 65 with 51 seconds on
the clock.
Two Pippin free poinls
were equalized by a Bran
som rebounder with 30 sec
onds left for 74 to 67. Hutch
ins goaled last with 13 sec
onds left to go.
Grants Pass gained the lead
for good in the tangle at 5 to
4 on a turning shot from the
side by Hutchins. It led by
three lo six points. Then, after
a 15 to 11 count, GP put in
five buckets to a goal and free
toss for its first quarter lead.
The second period was
something of a nightmare for
the Fireballs, who seemed to
overfirc on their shots and

Tom Davis Has
Third Base Try
Verno Beach, Fla.-IUPH-Tom-my
Davis, the major league
batting and RBI champion of
1962, is going to school and
elementary school at that.
What is there to learn for
aman who batted .346 and
dove in 153 runs?
Davis is majoring in the
art of playing third base, a
course designed to carry the
Dodgers to the National
league pennant they missed
by one out in a playoff last
fall.
Dodgers General Manager
E. J. (Buzzie) Bavasi rates
the conversion of Davis from
left field to third base as
the No. 1 project of spring
training.
"We want to find out quick
ly if Tommy can be better
than adequate as a third base
man," says Bavasi. "If he is
to stay there, he must be bet
ter than adequate. Otherwise,
we would be weakening two
positions."
