March 17 Klamath Palis Armory , ' Music by ' ,Vi "i .. ';" ; " . - Tutelake Guardsmen Pepperdme Advances In Tourney Buzolich Pastes Up Chance To Set New Scoring Record KANSAS CITY, March 14 (IP) Because Pete Fogo, national in tercollegiate basketball tourna ment individual scoring record holder, is "one of our fellows in the foxholes" Big Nick Buzo lich, Pepperdlne (Los Angeles) star, passed up a chance to set a new mark last night. r Buzolich racked up 20 points in thl firl. hlllf nf DnnnaW.na'. 77-42 victory over Peru (Neb.) leacuers anu appeared well on the way to beating Fogo's mark of 38 fmf in tha 1 040 ,n,,nA.. But Buzolich sat out much' of inc second naif and- contented himself with passing to someone else when he was on the floor. He finished with 28 points. Why didn't he go after the record? "I don't know that I could have beaten Pete's mark," said the 8-foot, . 7-inch ' Pepperdine center, who is too tall to get in to the armed service. "But even if I could have done It, I didn't feel much like trying when we were so far ahead. Fogo was a Pepperdine man, too, you know. He's over in Europe in the army and he's won the Purple Heart. I didn't much care about break ing his record." Coach Al Duer said he left it up lo Buzolich. . "He said he wasn't interested so I let him take it easy," was Duer's comment after the game. Pepperdine's triumph last night filled out the upper bracket quarterfinals. In the- opener of the second night's play West Texas State also won its way to the quarter finals by beating Wichita 54-43. Central of Fayette, Mo., and Eastern Kentucky had won berths in. the-same bracket in the first night's play Monday. The Doane- Tigers - of - Crete, Neb., furnished the big surprise last night by putting Eastern Washington out of the tourney. The Washington five, seeded in the lower bracket and. boasting one of the nation's three high scorers in Jack Pcrrault; last OUt in tha final twwnja ' cu Cox, Doane center, broke a 50- ou ue-wiin a neat field goal and Gene Else, Tiger forward, added a sneaker shot in the final five seconds after Eastern .

Wadnwday, March 14. 1948 " HERALD AND HEWS W 1KB r wi HAINES Medford Favored to Cop Stats Title Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the top prep cago' teams In the state of Oregon will battle it out for the highest goal of high school basketball the state championship! , ,. It looks to us that the Vnain threats to cop (he title1 are: (1) Washington Colonials, (2) Medford Black Tornado, or (3) Eugene Axemen. The rabid railbirrio an nli-uino u.J. ford to collide with Washington in the finals and, barring an unforeseen upset, we think that will be the ticket. Eugene is slated to clash with the Colonials at 3 p. m. on Thursday to open the classic and the winner of this tussle should go on through to the finals without much trouble. Medford is in the lower bracket and will meet Vernonia, champ of districts 13-14, in its first test. Thursday night. The Tornado should whip straight th r o ug h all .opponents in its weaker bracket, but may run; into a tartar in Oregon City if the Pioneers can get by . Hills boro, which they should do easily. There is little doubt that the Portland league is faster than the others and by that token the Colonials will probably be slight favorites to capture the toga. We haven't seen the Washington club play, but we . have seen Medford and the Tornado is a tough outfit to whip. It. is now riding on the crest of a victory-wave of 28 straight while the Colonials boast '23 tri umphs against two defeats. The Eugene Axemen check in with a magnificent record of 30 wins and one loss... ... With these three fine teams all in there competing, picking a winner is a difficult chore. After attempting-to. weigh all avail able information on the tourney entrants,-it appears to -us that it is Just about a toss-up between Washington and Medford, but we are going to lay it on the line and pick Medford to come out on top of the heap. Our reasons for giving the Tornado the nod are threefold: (1) Medford is just about the roughest ball club we have ever seen in prep school competition and, although we do not- approve of the slam-bang methods of. the Tornado, there are few who will I say that they are not effective. (2) After receiving the scare of men ,ivco Hum uie xicuimtii i-eiicaus in me aisirici tournament at Ashland, Medford now appears to be waxing hot again as of last Friday night's, terrific drubbing of Prineville, 53 to 26, to cinch a tourney berth. (3) The third reason is somewhat psycho logical. The Black Tornado, under Al Simpson, appears to have the Indian sign on other district teams. The mere fact that they are playing Medford has been enough to reduce other good ball teams to a third-rate club. Medford comes to Willamette gym nasium in Salem bearing a terrific record and some fives that tangle with the Tornado will be beaten before the opening whistle. Washington may be one of them. .
