McArthur Court, Universi
ty of Oregon, Eugene North
Eugene's tall-timbered High
landers shook off the stormy
challenge of the Medford
Black Tornado in the final
nnartpr here yesterday after
noon to triumph in a conflict
of favorites in the quarterfinal
round of the Oregon t-lass a-i
high school basketball lourna-
mnt
The Highlanders parlayed
their greater height to advan
tage and outgunnea me muu
fnrris at the start and finish
fnr a B2 to 51 verdict whicn
surged them into tonight's
MinmninnshiD semifinals of
hi hio school hoop classic.
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. At
halftime the Highlanders led
31 to 30.
After three quarters of the
embroilment the game was
deadlocked at 46 apiece. A
free shot by Vowell brought
Medford its only lead of the
afternoon at 47 to 46.
A Ron Davies tip put Coach
Mel Krause's Norths on top
again at 48 to 47 and the
Highlanders pushed into con
trol with a seven-point spread.
North Eugene, with its deci
sion rose into this evening's
round of four against Astoria
at 7:30 o'clock. The Fisher
men trimmed Pendleton yes
terday 51 to 47. Medford and
Pendleton were adversaries
this afternoon In semifinals
of the playoff for fourth place.
Domination Ends
The Highlanders' 14th
straight victory this year
snapped Medford's late sea
son winning string at nine.
Coupled with Sandy's 56 to
46 upset win over defending
champion Grants Pass, the
North Eugene-Medford out
come ended a three year
Southern Oregon conference
monopoly on the Orgeon A-l
crown. Medford was cham
pion in 1060 and runner up to
titlist Klamath Falls in 1061.
Gi ants Pass extended the dom
ination in 1962.
Elimination of Portland In-
tcrscholnstlc league entrants
in the opening round from
the title running and of the
Southern Oregon participants
on Thursday meant that the
new stale champion will come
from sonic other circuit for
the first time since 1055.

ond quarter when he also had
two free shots. Hill had 20
points for the first half and
24 for the game for individ
ual honors. But he was the
only Tornado in double point
figures.
North Shoots Better
Davies was the top point
man for North with 19 and
Bnh Craven had 13.
Better shooting from the
field and a margin, although
not too great, on the boards,
figured in the North Eugene
win. Medford's 6-4"4 Forde
led individual rebounding
with 12 retrieves and 6-2 Vj
Hill had 10. For the High
landers 6-5 Ron Davies had
10 and 6-6 Bob Craven and
6-5 Bill Thomas each nine.
North outflrcd Medford
from the field .424 to .345
as the Tornadoes were cool at
the start and finish, ine Hign
lander rebound difference as
a team was just 46 to 39.
Coach Frank Roelandt's
Medfords out-tallied North 23
to 9 in the second quarter,
returning tjt for tat. The Tor
nadoes had 16 to 15 edge in
the third period but North
took 16 to 5 command of the
final session.
North Takes 54-47 Lead
A few miscucs and some
defensive lapse hurt the Tor
nado in the closing chapter.
After Davies' shot gave North
Us 48 to 47 lead, 6-6 Pete
Rnhertson. wide open, hit a
jumper from the side. Davies
added anotner reDouna uus
ket and then hit on a driver
for 54 to 47 with 5:30 left to
play.
Neathamcr put in a giflcr
for the Tornado and Benner
helDed keeD the Medfords In
the running with a long set
shot for 54 to 50. However,
the Highlanders pulled out
the Pear city defense and a
teammate passed to Thomas
who scored on the feed. Paul
Michael of NE and Forde ex
changed free tosses. Jerry
Gordon put in a layup as the
Tornado defense again was
brought out. A free shot by
Thomas and two by Snow
completed the scoring in the
game.
The Highlanders employed
the height of their big men
and the playmuking and ball-
hawking of Miciiacl, uoraon
and Bob Ghccn along with a
fast break and hot shooting
to get their big opening mar
gin. Six NE players had a
hand In this scoring.
Big Splurge
Inspired Medford slopped
the break and warmed up to
get its terrific splurge going
In the second period. Hill
started It with a driver. Vow
ell collected three free shots
and Hill hit from the side on
a Benner assist. Hill put In
two free shots and recovered
the ball In a scrap under the
board and whipped through
the hoop. North lead was
down to 24 to 18.
Craven sank a long pishcr
for North. Hill shoved back
a rebound and then zipped a
hook shot off a Vowell feed
for 26 to 22. Craven got one
free shot and Davies two for
20 to 22. But, Hill drove the
base beautifully and then gun
ned another driver for 29 to
26. Davies hit for North from
close range. Neathamer hemp

shot from the circle for the
halftime 31 to 30.

MAIL TRIBUNE. 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.
HAS TO BE UPSET

the Axemen with deliberate
play and tough defense, play

among the rated in prep polls
this season, the Mustang win
goes as an upset because
South Eugene was ranked
higher in the late polls and
because the Axemen, in a
vote of an Associated Press
board of sports writers had
been the consensus pick to
win the 1S63 Oregon Class
A-l hoop crown.
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,

Said Larry Stevens, a

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
