In a combat between the co-champions of the Southern Oregon conference, Medford rallied Its forces in the sec ond half to defeat Grants Pass 64 to 54 and claim the fourth place trophy in the Oregon Class A-l basketball tourna ment. It was a rubber match be fween the Hurricanes and the Cavemen. They split 2-2 in regular season conflicts and finished with 11-5 records in district 6. Settlement here, nevertheless, was purely a prestige one, for they are still co-champs. Victory gave Medford an 18-8 record for 1962-63 com petition. Grants Pass finished with 17-9. The Tornado, tired looking and with little spark during thi first two quarters, got its second wind in the second half to gain the victory. Down by 12 points in the second quarter, Medford led by that much in the final seconds of the game. Medford outscored Grants Pass 23-12 in the third period and 16-9 in the fourth. Score Never Tied The Cavemen were in front through the first two chap ters. The score was never tied. Gibb Mitchell, liveliest for Medford in the first half, gave the Tornadoes the lead for keeps with a long push shot with 61 seconds left in the third quarter. That made it 46 to 45. A Dan Miles push er took the count to 48 to 45 at third quarter intermission time. Medford gradually widened In the fourth panel to a 12 point gap at 64 to 52. Medford got double figure scoring from four men, Jack Forde paced the Tornadoes with 19 points. Jim Hill had 13. Rich Benner 12, and Miles 10. For Grants Pass, Jim Pip pin had 20 points for high individual honors, and Alan Hutchins scored 16. Medford shot poorly in the opening portion of the game, but warmed up tremendous ly as the game progressed and had a .482 field average on 27 of 56. Grants Pass, warmer at the start, had .367 for the game.

Mitchell Sparks Widest Grants Pass mar gins were 23 to 11 and 27 to 15. Mitchell, after the last big gap, sparked Medford ef forts which narrowed down the gap. He swished one long push shot, and after Forde hooked the ball through the hoop, Mitchell came back with another pusher to nar row the score down to six points at 27 to 21. Hutchins for Grants Pass put in his own rebound, but the spread was just six again when Mitchell hit the hemp on a Forde assist. Grants Pass widened to 10 points on buckets by Hutch ins and Pippin but Benner shot from the circle to estab lish the halftime margin. Forde was the main gun for the Tornadoes in closing down the margin in the third period. He had five field goals to lead the Medford come back assault.
