Newspaper Page TextTWO HERALD AND NEWS Wednesday. March 11. 1145 Gale Bishop Breaks Own Mark With 62 Points in AAU Meet; Fee's Remain in Tournament rPAPfa HAINES HAINES Medford Black Tornado Not Rough v.etnrriav we received a letter from a former student of Ash' l.nrt Men school disacreeinE with us in no uncertain terms on the type of basketball played by Medford. This lad states that the Tornado plays nam, aggressive uhu, uui that he can't see how the Medford quintet could be classified as rough. He goes on to say that he thinks Al Simp son, Medford mentor, is the best coach he has ever seen and that maybe the reason we dislike 'Simpson is because he beat the Pelicans out of a state tournament berth when he was coaching at Ashland. , Now son, to the best of our knowledge we have never said that we bore any dislike for Simpson. In fact, we Bre inclined to agree with you that he is an exceptionally fine athletic in structor. If we have inadvertently given the imDression that we bear any animosity toward 'fothe'typeof ball played by the Medford cagers this r.i iino hnH to no on were the two games they clayed here. We think that even the Medford boys themselves W1U acKllowieagts uic ami um ...w - ------- - rough ball game both nights. We understand from KUHS of ficials that the Tornado played a much cleaner, and consequent ly a better, game at Ashland in the district tournament. The fact still remains, however, that Medford went beyond "hard, aggressive basketball" in those two tilts on the KUHS maple and bv that token we still stand firm on that point. The fact "that Medford leaned toward rough basketball was not the only reason the Tornado beat the Pelicans this season. Medford had an out and out better ball club, but the unique tactics of the Medford hoopmen did HELP them toward a vic tory, at least in the two games played here. We have gone to quite some length to clear up these points and to sum our contentions up: Medford had a good ball team, Simpson is a fine coach, but in the two cage tussles played here this season, Medford DID play rough basketball. Thanks for writing. . Top Mat Card Scheduled For Friday Supporting the headline tussle Friday night between Pete Belcastro, the torso-twister from Weed, and the dreaded "Grey Mask," Promoter Mack Lillard announced today that Georges Dusette, who almost flopped Mr. Stoneface here last week, will tangle with Dooular Ernie Piluso in the semi-windup and Tough Tony Ross will meet meany Wild Billy McEuin in-the opener. These should be two exceptionally fine bouts and it is tenta tively understood that if Dusette whips Piluso, he will be given another crack at the hooded hoodlum. Mr. Stoneface may not be in-any shape to meet even Mickey Mouse next week, how ever," as Belcastro figures to be just about the toughest customer to handle in these parts. Upon two previous occasions here, Pete has given the masked menace all he wanted and a little bit more. .After Pete's two disqualifications in tussles with Jack Kiser, he is reported to be ready to bite chunks out of the ringposts and this attitude bodes ill for both the referee and Mr. Stoneface. Odds and Ends In the World of Sports Slammin' Sammy Snead and Lord Byron Nelson were still ' deadlocked in the Charlotte Open after their playoff yesterday. Another 18-bole-match is scheduled for today . . ..Looks like DePaul and St. John's will again clash - in the finals' of the national invitational cage tournament at Madison Square Garden . . . The Oregon Webfoots will collide with Arkansas in their first NCAA tussle at K. City . . . Most consistent ball player of the historic Oregon-Washington State playoff series was Jim Bartelt He averaged an even 10 points per game and came through when the Ducks really needed points . . . With floods reported throughout middle-western areas, many major loop baseball clubs have been "rained out" of spring training sessions ... More money for the golfer who barely breaks 300 on the tournament swing is being sought. Those against it are Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Jug McSpaden, Sam Byrd and Craig Wood.

As he canned his first five shots without a bobble, specta tors who were beginning to file out after looking at three other one-sided games, stopped to watch from the aisles and final ly returned to their seats to cheer the former Washington State star. Altogether, B i s h o D hit 28 1 shots from the floor and missed only 16 tries, besides adding six: free throws in eight chances. As he left the floor two min utes before the end of the game, which Fort Lewis won 87-21, fans gave the soldier star a roar ing salute that rattled the walls of ancient City auditorium. Fort Lewis became a more popular choice to finals Saturday after BishoD's record-breaking feat. Last team to enter .the third round, the Washington soldiers meet the Peoria. 111..
