McArthur Court, Univerri
ty of Oregon, Eugene Med
ford High school's Black Tor
nado and the Grants Pass
Cavemen "settled" their tie
Saturday afternoon on a neu
tral court many miles from
home.
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.
CP Out-Rebounds
Medford, along with i t s
warm shooting, tightened up
Its defense in the second half,
with some fine ball hawking
and with some' tough play
beneath the boards.

snagged nine and Forde pull

Grants Pass led at the end
of the first quarter 18 to 10,
and at halftime 33 to 25.
The Tornadoes appeared
tired and listless during most
of the first half and Grants
Pass seemed much more full
of life. The Cavemen along
with doing better on the
boards and shooting better,

beat their Rogue valley ad

And most of the time when
the Climate City boys moved
to drive or shoot, the Med
fords were not able sufficient
ly to react.
That changed completely In
the second half, Once Med
ford got its campaign going
and took the lead, Grants
Pass pressed too hard in its
efforts to come back.
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.
Medford worked its lead
up to 10 points at 58 to 48

Gov. Edmund G. Brown has
i his way, Californians will vote

j The governor, an outspoken
i foe of the sport, Friday open
: ed a new attack on boxing
because of the Los Angeles
fight that left dethroned feath
' erweight champion Davey
Moore near death.
He called Moore's plight
"an illustration that boxing
even under ideal conditions is
a brutal sport if it can be
' called a sport."
He said the Moore bout
saw a championship fighter
in prime condition with only
one technical knockout on his
record, who had been care
fully examined before the
fight.
"During the fight he did
not appear to be badly hurt,"
the governor said. "All the
regulations were fully com
plied with."
He suggested that this prov
ed that the powers of the state
Athletic Commission were not
enough.
"I can only conclude once
again that there Is only one
way to prevent deaths and se
vere Injuries in the ring and
that is to abolish the so-called
sport coplctcly," the gover
nor said.
Brown said he intended to
ask for the immediate Intro
duction of a bill which would
ask the voters to outlaw box
ing in the 1964 election.
At the same time, he called
for an "emergency commit
tee" to survey the safeguards
.that now exist and recom

Uphill Battle;
Championship
Highlanders Drub Astoria
By 53-48; Tigers Romp
Over Sandy
McArthur Court, University
of Oregon, Eugene North
Eugene's giant Highlanders,
No. 1 rated In the polls, and
Tigard's Tigers, tournament
surprises, Friday earned the
right to clash here in Satur
day night finals for Oregon's
Class A-l high school basket
ball diadem.
The posted championship
semifinal verdicts in the 45th
annual tourney for the state's
major honors on the maple
court. North, fought by a game,
hang tough Astoria aggrega
tion which could not quite
cope with the superior High
lander height. Score was 53
to 48. Tigard, Tualatin-Yamhill
Valley camp, romped im
pressively in a scuffle of dark
horses to whip Sandy's Pion
neers 86 to 65.
The Highlanders of the
Midwestern league were
ahead all the way against the
Fisherman. They were in
front by as much as 14 points.
The Astorians of the Metro
circuit contended fiercely in
the second half but could
come no closer than within
five points.
Wide Early Lead
Tigard also led throughout.
It established a wide lead
early and never was in trou
ble after that. The Tigers, hot
from the field with a .458
salvo tabulation, used aggres
siveness to the utmost. Their
running game and full court
defense got results. They beat
Sandy on the boards with
lively work at both ends of
the court.
North had 18 to 9, 32 to 18
and 42 to 33 quarter leads
on Astoria. Fishermen went
to work at the outset of the
third quarter with nine
straight markers to come
within five points of NE at 32
to 27. The Highlanders upped
to nine points again but As
toria sliced it to 36 to 31. A
46 to 35 gap in the fourth
period protected the Scotties
and they kept the Fishermen
from getting a full scale ral
ly going.
Tourney Record ' '
Astoria hit all of its free
throws, 12 tries, for a new
tourney accuracy record but
did not get so many chances
as the Highlanders. North
and Ron Craven 17. Dave
Romppanen of Astoria was
high for the fracas with 21.
Davics had 17 rebounds and
Craven 10 in North's 45 to 37
board margin.
