But, North, No. ranked in Oregon's prep polls this sea son, did not oui-neari m Rogue Valley Whirlwinds, who made a stern combat of it before going down fighting hard. An easv romn for the High landers loomed probable in the opening portion of the fracas. They opened a 17-point Then, the No. 4 and 5 rated Black Tornado, aroused to furious battling pllcn whirled back to wipe away the marain. duel hand to Hand with the Scotties and throw a scare into the host city ag gregation. North had to come from behind to win it. North Leads 24-7 The Eugene contingent, clicking sharply, powered to a 22 to 7 first quarter span. North made it 24 to 7 as the second period got under way. Then, Medford, with booming Jim Hill carrying the scoring load, with Jack Forde and Rich Bonner scrapping for all they were worth under the hoops and with Larry Vowell, Dan Miles and Mike Neatham er driving, narrowed the dif ference to a single point.

MEDFORD, OREGON Fanfare McArthur Court, University of Oregon, Eugene - Notes and sidelights on the Oregon Class A-l high school basketball tournament here: One of the Medford high basketball players summed up the Black Tornado effort against North Eugent thusly- "We tried. They were pret ty big, you know." We tried - What more can you ask? MORE IN ONE YEAR Said Medford High Coach Frank Roelandt of the North Eugene high basketball learn: "They have more tall men on their squad this year than I have had altogether in my 14 years at Medford." North's Highlanders, of course, have two men at 6-6, two at 6-5 and one at 6-4. COACH AT MOTEL Milwaukie High Head Coach George Crandall was not on the sidelines while his Mustangs fashioned their well engineered 47-41 upset victory over South Eugene. He was in a Eugene motel room. Cran dall has been recuperating from a case of infectious hep- ititis and, we're told, came to Eugene only with the undcr standing that he would not attend his team's games at McArthur court. Assistant John Rhode directed the team from the bench.

WHAT CONSOLATION! "What a consolation brack et!" someone remarked in the press room Wednesday night after the completion of the big tournament's first round. As the result of their first round losses' such "powers" as Marshall, South Salem, South Eugene and Franklin were relegated to the fight for fifth place. , MUSTANGS WALK Going back to the Milwau kie - SE fracas - The Mus. tangs, who prevented South from using its fast break at tack, were down by as much as five points in the first half. They trailed 9 to 12 at the quarter and 21 to 22 at the half. With their "walking offense" (they didn't walk so much against Tigard) they went ahead at the start of the third period and never lagged after that. TIGARD DARKHORSE Some of the boys of the press were rating Tigard high a darkhorse after it's 61 to 51 win over Franklin to end the first round of this prep hoop show. We were not that much impressed. Run, shoot, run, as they did Wed nesday may be okay as an offense. Still, a certain amount of caution and direc tion is necessary. And, the Tigers, while full of scrap with good effort, were a bit too haphazard, slam bang and headlong to suit us. However, after their come back win over Milwaukie, in which they were not so head long, we'll give them dark horse status, HOTTEST North Eugene with Its .464 and Marshall with .452 in the cTI Mill ST ALL HEARTY AND DEPENDABLE DODGES ARE BACKED BY A 5 YEAR50,000 MILE WARRANTY COMPARE AND YOU'LL DRIVE DODGE L0W DOWN UP TO 36 MONTHS TO PAY Your authoriied Dodge Dealer's Warranty against defects in material and workmanship on 1963 vehicles has bean expanded to include parts replacement or repair without charge for required parts or labor for 5 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first, on the en gine block, head and internal parts; transmission case and internal parts (excluding manual clutch); torque converter, driveshaft, universal joints (excluding dust covers), rear axle and differential, and rear wheel bearings, provided the vehicle has been serviced at reasonable intervals according to the Dodge Certified Car Care schedules.

BLACK THURSDAY Said Larry Stevens, a Grants Pass high coach and also a basketball referee in the Rogue Valley, after Grants Pass and Medford lost their second round state tour ney games: "This 11 be known as Black Thursday." A call that is rare in bas ketball was whistled on Grants Pass high's Al Hut chins in the Cavemen's game with South Salem. He was assessed a technical foul for "face guarding," putting his hand in front of the face of a Saxon. If Al had remained in the ga"m.e until the finish, he prob ably would have been the lone scorer of the first round of the tournament. But, Coach Gordon Prehm, with a wide lead and victory assured, gave all his charges a chance to play. Hutchins, with 32 points, shared first round high point honors with Medford's Jack Forde.
