HERALD AND NEWS EIGHT
Tornado Takes
38-22 Victory
From Klamath
By HALE SCARBROUGH
A second-half attack of buck fever reduced the Pelican
defense to a shambles before a packed audience at the KUHS
gym last night and Medford's Black Tornado overpowered
the local boys 38 to 22. The Pelican win streak was snapped
at eight straight.
Bill Singler, Medford's starting forward, and Darrell
Riggs, center, were a team unto themselves. Singler camped
under the Tornado basket all evening, slipping the ball
through the hoop repeatedly and Riggs camped under the
Pelican basket capturing rebounds.
Singler accounted for 20 points and Riggs for 14. Klam
ath's best efforts amounted to
seven points for Jim Palmer
and five for Ray Craig.
Starting the first quarter both
teams sparred for a couple of
minutes, then Riggs planted a
field goal to get the Pcarpick-
ers out In front. A coupie more
minutes of sparring and Craig
and Leroy Coleman evened the
count with free throws.
Riggs got another basket and
a charity toss, running the
score to 5-2; Coleman hit a long
shot, Singler sank his first and
Palmer got two free passes to
end the quarter 7-6 for Med
ford. Palmer opened the second
canto with a goal at the end of
a fast break, putting the Pels
in the lead for the only time
during the evening. Riggs,
Singler and Bob Watson 11
tallied, the score 13-8, and the
Pelican second string . came in.
Tommy Edwards lasted about
30 seconds before he was boot
ed out of the game for inten
tionally roughing Singler. The
Medford forward sank one of
the two free throws allotted him
and the half ended Medford 14,
Klamath 8.
Each team scored eight points
in the third quarter Bob Red
key, Palmer and Thome for the
- Pels, Riggs and Singler for
. Medford. Midway of the fourth
period, with the Pels only four
points back, the Klamath de
fense came apart at the seams.
Singler stood under the Klam
ath hoop and dropped in eight
points .in the last two minutes
of play.

Will Resume
Civil Series
CORVALLIS, Jan. 17 Ore
gon's two members of the north
ern division basketball league.
Oregon and Oregon State, will
continue to scrap among them
selves this weekend when they
clash in battles number 2 and 3
of the four-game civil war ser
ies. The two clubs play at Cor-
vallis Friday night and then
move over to Eugene for an
other contest Saturday night.
Final game of the series will not
be played until March 2 at Cor-vallis.
Oregon State drew first blood
in the series with a 50 to 46 vic
tory over the Webfoots at Eu
gene last Saturday night. As a
result, the Beavers are in sole
possession of first place in the
Northern division standings with
three wins and no defeats. By
winning two games this week
the Orangemen could clinch the
series with their ancient rivals
and entrench themselves firmly
in the top spot before making
the dreaded invasion of the in
land empire next week.
The Webfoots, on the other
hand, must win both games this
weekend to stay in the league
race.

Without Kayo, Point System
May Decide Louis-Conn Tiff
NEW YORK, Jan. 17 (JP) Un
less a knockout occurs, it may be
that Eddie Eagan's controversial
point-scoring system may de
cide the winner of the Joe Louis
Billy Conn bout for the heavy
weight championship at the Yan
kee stadium on June 19.
Eagan, chairman of the New
York state athletic committee,
inaugurated his four-point sys
tem .last March. Since then
draw decisions have been elimi
nated, but followers of the sport
have argued out tile merits of
Uie system.
Several weeks ago Eagan said
he could see no reason for any
change in the point-scoring
system should the fight be held
in New York.
At the time of the first Louis
Conn scrap at the Polo Grounds
in June, 1941, when the old
round-by-round method of scor
ing was effective. Conn was
ahead, seven rounds to five, at
the end of 12 rounds. In the
13th he made the mistake of
trying to slug It out with the
champion and was knocked out.
Under the Eagan four-point
system of scoring, the winner of
the round is credited with one
point if in the opinion of the
judges, he wins the round by a
shade. If the margin is definite
he gets two points. If the mar
gin is one-sided, but there is no
knockdown, the winner gets
three points. If a knockdown
occurs, the winner receives the
maximum of four points.
Thus, if at the end of 15
rounds, a judge, has each win
ning seven rounds with one even,
he would add up the points for
each. If the totals are even,
he would decide which one fin
ished stronger and name that
one the winner.

game.
Dartnell s one-man rally oc
curred when the game was more
than half over.
The Royals counted twice in
the second period and after that
it was strictly Dartnell's show
as he opened for Seattle with his
first goal after 15:11 of the sec
ond period.

Other Golfers
Have A Chance
At Richmond
RICHMOND, Calif., Jan. 17
(JP) Touring PGA pros stepped
up to the first tee to start the
72-hole $10,000 Richmond Open
today with a new gleam in their
eyes for overnight their big
money winner, Byron Nelson,
eliminated himself from the run
ning. Nelson announced his with
drawal on the eve of four-day
event to make an urgent trip to
Toledo, O., to tend to his um
brella business and "get a
physical checkup."
Nelson, the consecutive win
ner of the Fort Worth, Los An
geles and San Francisco Opens,
refused to comment on a report
of lameness, although he has
been limping around this 6209
yard course during practice.
He said, however, "I plan to
get a physical checkup when I
get home."
A similar layoff was taken
last October as Nelson went stale
while accumulating $66,000 and
the title of golfing man of the
year.
With Nelson's withdrawal, de
fending Champion Sammy Sncad
becomes a heavy favorite to re
peat over this par 71 course.
