The finer the tvhUhey the finer the drink. So always mix with Seagram's 7 Crown. You'll be sure of a success story iu every driuk you serve t four teams In each section take part. First night pairings, starting at 6:00 Tuesday night, are still only probable until league play is com pleted this Friday, In any case, the north half No. 1 team meets the south half No. 4 team. These positions are clinched and pit Elk ton against Days Creek. At 700, the North No. 3 team meets the South No. 2. This means probably Yoncalla vs. Riddle. Certainly Yon calla will be one opponent, but Rid dle and Glendale are currently tied for first place In the south half. At 8:00, North No. 4 meets South No. 1, probably Oakland against Glendale. At 9:00, North No. 2 meets South No. 3. Paired f"r sure in this one are Drain and Canyon ville. The teams are then divided Into consolation and championshio brackets for gamis Thursday night Incidentally, Elkton is considered the team to watch by virtue of Its undefeated league record and 14-1 season record. But there are many dark horses. jYoncalla Quint Trips Creswell Yoncalla avenged an early sea son loss at Creswell Tuesday by turning the tables on the same squad in the Eagles' home aerie, 57-50.
