Crimins Shatters Halbrook's
Scoring Mark With 73 Points
By JIM COl'R
Associated Press Sports Writer
Medford remained the favorite
for the district 4 championship and
two Portland teams clinched state
tournament spots in a week-end of
Oregon high school basketball play
that saw the Northwest individual
scoring record broken twice.
Wade (Swede) Halbrook of Lin
coln set a new mark of 71 Friday
night. Jerry Crimins of Milton
Freewater cracked It Saturday
night by scoring 73.
Dennis Conner's free throw In
the last 25 seconds Saturday night
gave Medford a 53-52 victory over
Klamath Falls, evening the week
end series between the teams.
Thus Medford, rated No. 7 in
last week's Associated Press poll,
regained its one-game lead over
sixth-ranked Klamath Falls in the
Southern Oregon district's big four
division. But Medford's remaining
two division games are with tough
Grants Pass, while Klamath Falls
has a pair with last-place Ashland.
FAVORED
The division winner will be heav
ily favored to beat Crater High of
Central Point for the district title
and a place in the state tourney
at Eugene next month.
Cleveland and Lincoln, each with
a 17-2 record and ranked No. 2
and No. 3 respectively. In the state,
won Friday night games to become
Portland league representatives in
the tournament
souen.fnnt nne-inrh Halbrook
posted 71 points in Lincoln's 90-53
victory over Roosevelt
Twentv-four hours later, Crimins.
who's only five-foot 11, registered
73 for a new record as Milton
Freewater set a new Oregon one
game team scoring mark in de
feating Hermlston, 116-63. The old
team record, 115, was set by Rufus
Hinh of Sherman County in 1939.
GRID STAR
Crimins. who's also a star foot-
ball quarterback, scored 41 of his
points in the second half while he
i had four personal
personal louis agamsi
him.
Five new Oregon individual scor
ing records now have beep set this
season. First. Johnny Frederick Jr.
of Tigard hit for 52 points to
erase Halbrook's old mark of 51.
established last year. Halbrook
then came back with 66. Gerald
Bloom of Crow wiped this out with
67 points in a Lane County B
League gnme. Thnt stood until the
perf'ormnnces of Halbrook and
Crimins last week-end.
Halbrook, has three more Port
land league games and the state
tournament to shoot for a new re
cord. He has scored 715 points in
19 gnmes.
NO REPEAT
Halbrook and Crimins met in a
1951 state tournament game, Hal
brook scoring 33 points and Crim
ins 31. The duel won't be repeated
this yenr, because Milton-Freewater
isn't going to the tourney.

The Klamath -Pelicans have a
slim mathematical chance of over,
taking Medford in the Big Four di
vision of Dlst. 4 after Saturday
night's 52-53 loss to the Black
Tornado but Grants Pass will
have to help the Pels with their
arithmetic problem.
The weekend split with Medford
the Pels won 54-42 Friday kept
the Tornado s one-game lead over
Klamath Falls. Each have two
games to go. Klamath hosting Ash
land here this weekend, Medford
facing Grants Pass.
If the Pels can beat A.ohlnnrl
twice. Grants Pass can hand Klam
ath Falls the title by beating Med
ford twice. If the Cavemen split
with Medford, the district will end
a ue ana would necessitate a
one-game play-off.
Dennis Conner was the horn nf
Medford's squeaky win Saturday
night. His one-hander tied it
52-all with less than two minutes
to play. His free shot with 25 sec
onds left was the margin of vic
tory. Medford iumDed Into a lead hut
the Pelicans rallied to cut It to
14-16 at the auarter mark and
stretched to 30-25 at the half, Klam

Jack Boardman hacked it to 43-44
but free throws by Jerry Johnson

a 46-43 edge. Derald Wooten
brought Medford up to 45-46. But
a field goal and free throw bv
Ralph Carroll and a charity toss
by Doug Pence gave Klamath a
50-46 lead. Conner and Pence trad
ed field goals and Klamath Falls
lead 52-48. Wooten threw in a- field
goal and Conner followed with his
