Cage Season Will Close Out During Week ' Regular season basketball closei out with i rush this week. By Saturday, Feb. 23, the host of leagues will be closed out as teams make ready for post-sea-on tournaments. Roseburg was the first to finish competition after getting a head start in late mi. While the Indians are resting, every other team completes its schedule by late Friday night. The tournament season gets underway next week. Only two games of league sig nificance are scheduled tonight Elmira comes to Drain for the last Valley League tilt and Flor ence invades Reedsport for the next-to-last Coast League battle for the Braves. Drain is veritably aeaured of third place in the Lane county loop and the Braves are tied for first in the Coast circuit. Other games of the kings-X va riety find Glide at Days Creek, Myrtle Creek at Riddle, Oakland at Sutherlin and Creswell at Yon calls. Drain Host Ploatant Hill - On Friday, Drain is host to Pleasant Hill in the only non league tilt. Myrtle Creek journeys to Illinois Valley to try for a co championship in the Josephine-Douglas-Jackson League and New port comes to Reedsport, with the Braves shooting for at least a co championship in the Coast League with Toledo. The final "B" league round finds most of the positions pretty well determined. Undefeated Elkton can't be shaken from the Nor In Half championship, but the Elks will try for another win at Glide. Oakland can at best tie for third place in the league when It in vades Yoncalla. In the south, it appears almost certain that Glen- dale ana Kiddie win ena up in a first ph.ee tie. The Pirates are through for the season with six wins ana a loss ana tne irisn, also with one loss, go to Camas Valley to close out the regular play. Canyonvllle has third place nailed down but will play at Days Creek for increased prestige. ?' 7 if 'r SHARPSHOOTING HERE TONIGHT are the All-American Red Heads, probably the world's most renowned feminine basketball team.

League Champion J C Sporting Goods placed three men in the top 10, but oddly the two highest scoring teams in tne league were unable to place more than one. This apparently reflects the value of team above individual scoring. Yoncalla s Dick strait, sole repre sentative for that team, held firm in second place with his 18.2 aver age, but waiiy Richardson of Firmco dropped from sixth to seventh, tie too was his team s only representative although the Myrtle Creek quint averaged over 64 points a game. Loomis In Big Three Towering Jack Loomis com pleted the big three in league pl;.y by moving up a notch with a toUl addition to 43 points in his last two games. He scored 19 against Oakland and added 24 in his final game of the season against Firm co. He edged out Mark Griggs, who PERSONAL PROPERTY DECLARATIONS Are Due In the Assessor's Office On OR Before MARCH 2, 1952 Ned Dixon Assessor, Douglas County was held1 to 11 against Yoncalla last week. Fourth - place Glide was the only other team to place three in the top ten. Jack Harvey held on to fifth place and was joined in sixth by his teammate, Byron Evans, who closed out the season in a rush of'baskets. Myron Vlcek just managed to squeeze into the top 10 with his 10.2 average. Don Hubbard moved up from ninth to eighth with 21 points against Firm co Monday night, and Les Winders exchanged places with him to round out '.he trio of J C leaders. From a team standpoint. Firm co was far and away the heaviest scorer in tne league. The Myrtle Creekers averaged 85.8 noinls ner game. Yoncalla was second with 59.3 and J C Sporting Goods aver aged S4.8. me Jaycecs, however, made up Hie difference on defense, allowing only 48.8 per game for op ponents. Firmco allowed 51.6 and Yoncalla gave up 53.9 per game.

Favored to meet them in the ! best two out of three for the district 5 diadem is Reedsport which has an identical record.

I Foot ball was a de-emphasized major sport in the Ivy League Tuesday, shorn of its pre-season and post season hoop-la by order of the presidents of the eight schools in volved. Under an agreement announced Monday by the colleges, neither coaches nor players may particip ate, among other things, in post season intersectional games. This rules students at Yale. Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton, Brown, Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania out of the North- South and East-West games. Nor may Yale's Herman Hick man again coach the North squad as he has for the last two games at Miami, Fla., while Dartmouth's Tuss McLaughry, one of the coach es of the East team in December's Shrine game at San Francisco, can't do it again. Yale, whose football history is a history of the game itself, kicked off on de-emphasis last fall when it plumped for the elimination of spring practice. Last Saturday, the American Council on Education included in its "sanity code" a ban on spring practice ana bowl games. With the Umpqua Valley League basketball title all wrapped up a week ago, J C Sporting Goods went on a lark at Myrtle Creek Monday night. They left off clown ing just long enough to dump the Firmco squad, 71-67. It was the last regular season game for both squads and prob ably ended league play for 1952. Only one game remains and that is between Days Creek and Oak land. Since neither team can change its position on the league ladder, a makeup of this game appears dubious. Determined to have fun in spite of the result, the J Cs rollicked onto the floor like kids out for an after-school game of "horse." The reaction by the Firmco quintet was at first amazement, but the hosts decided to give the visitors a les son for the cavalier antics. They broke a 17-17 quarter tie to push ahead, 37-34, by halftime. It was turning into a rout by the third break with Firmco ltiding, 57-47. J C Takes Lead Then, consciences began to bo ther the Roseburg quintet. It was apparently decided to make a con test of it anyway. At this time, the hosts were leading, JO-49, with 6Vt mmutes to go in the game. Before the powerful Firmco quin tet could catch its breath, J C was out in front 61-60. The battle set tled down to a tug of war until the last three seconds with Rose burg on top, 69(67. Determined to hold the win. Jack Loomis took the ball out of bounds and held it for the three seconds. This was ruled illegal, so he took another try and this time found Don Hubbard alone under the basket. The latter pot ted the shot as the buzzer sounded. The two wildest cutups on the floor were, oddly enough, the high est scorers. Jack Loomis rang up 24 points and Don Hubbard col lected 21. Firmco's honor man was Bob Hoefs who made 15. J C Sptg. (71) (67) Firmco Benson (5) F (6) W.

Wyoming Hosts Husky Quintet This Weekend LARAMIE. Wyo. I Wyoming University's red hot basketball fans are billing their liitersecttonal se ries with the U.uversity of Wash ington this week-end as a match between the two best cage teams in the country west of Manhattan. (That is Manhattan, Kan.;., home of Kansas State.) The fired-up Wyoming support ers are counting on their favorites to dump the Washington Huskies sixth ranked team in the nation, and atone for defeats the past two years in Seattle. Wyoming is rated 19th in the Associated Press poll. The series Friday and Saturday is Washington's first visit to the home court of the Wyoming Cow boys, who are showing their booted heels to the rest of the Skyline Conference. Cowboys Win 10 Washington buttoned up the Northern Division title of the Pa cific Coast Conference last week. Wyoming with 10 wins, 1 loss is a game away from the Skyline title. The series, which is expected to pack the 9,000 capacity new field house here, may be a preview of the National Collegiate Athletic As sociation western playoffs at Cor vallis. Ore., March 21-22. The Sky line and Pacific Coast Conference champions and two Western teams selec'ed at-large will meet in the NCAA tourney. Wyoming and Washington are heavy favorites to be the conference teams. Coach Ev Shelton, who guided Wyoming to NCAA and NIT na tional championships in 1943. has developed one of his best teams in the current Cowboy edition. NEW YORK UN Kentucky's high-geared basketball team lues day ranked as the best collegiate outfit in the nation for the fifth i straight week.

Rounding out the top ten are: Duquesne, Iowa, Illinois, Washing ton, Kansas, St. John's, St. Louis, and St. Bonaventure. Duquesne, only major unbeaten team in the land, collected only four first-place ballots but accum ulated enough second and third place nominations to beat out Iowa for third place. Makeup Rtmalnt Same With the exception of positions, the makeup of the top ten was the same as last week. Iowa and Il linois moved up a step. Kansas jumped two places. St. John's ad vanced from tenth to eighth as a result of its victory over St. Bona venture, which dropped from fourth to tenth. St. Louis dipped from seventh to ninth.
