At the district tournament, set
for Friday and Saturday nights
of this week, at Coos Bay, Brook
ings Bruins will meet one of the
two Douglas county teams in the
first game, Lynn Hampton, sup
erintendent. told the Pilot, Tues
day. Drawing will take place at
the tourney, Friday evening.
Since there are two distinct B
leagues in Douglas county, it has
been decided not to pit these
against each other in the elim
ination round, rather to pit the
coast teams against the Douglas
county winners. From this con
clusion Brookings will face either
Riddle or Drain in the opener,
and Powers, Coos County winner
against the other.
There is no basis for compari

vided games in their two meet
ings earlier this season.
According to Lynn Hampton,
the team will remain at Coos Bay
following the game, Friday, not
trying to make the tiring trip
either way, whether they win or
lose in the first game.
Should Brookings enter the
finals, Saturday evening, effort
is being made to charter busses
for those who wish to make the
trip, and have no way of getting
to Coos Bay. Hope is held by
Coach Guthrie that the Bruins
will reach the finals, basing his
conclusions on the team work
displayed by the boys all season.
Winner of this tournament
will represent this district at the
state tournament, held at Union,
next week.
Have Best Chance Now
The Bruins, winners for the
second consecutive time, Curry
county championship, realize as
individuals, that this is the best
chance they ever will have to
enter the state B tournament. It
has been pointed out by those
who have closely followed the
development of the 1949 Bruins
team, that the teamwork this
year carried them to the title.
Such teamwork will make the
Brookings team real contenders
in the district tournament, and
possibly in the state tournament.
