Appointment of a receiver by the court is asked. N U M B E R 41 Can Ihe Gold Hill high school bas ketball teams take it? Evidently so— as the local teams took defeat to the tune of 40 to 20 from Central Point Friday evening, and Rogue River dished it out by a 26 to 22 margin Wednesday of this week. And what's more, the Beavers seemed to like it, for they made very little effort to play ball like we know they can play it. After displaying fine teamwork in the contests with Ashland and Ptioenix teams a week ago the pres ent slump has caused much wonder among followers of the game here. The teamwork seems to have van ished and the players appear more interested in being high-point scor er for the game or otherwise star before the fans. Saturday night the Beavers are scheduled to meet the Talent cagers on the latter's court in another con ference game. The result will prove whether the team can stage a come back or continue on its downward slide in the conference rating. Rogue R iver 26; Beavers 22 One of the largest crowds to wit ness a basketball game for some lime was on hand to see Gold Hill and its ancient rivals, Bogue River clash on the local court Wednesday evening. After holding a slight lead during most of the contest the Rog ues won by a count of 26 to 22. Getting away to a good start with a four-point lead in the first few minutes, the Beaver defense weak ened and allowed Reynolds of the Rogues to out-point (hem by the end of Ihe first quarter, 8-7. Rogue Riv er was leading 13-11 at the half time recess. In the last half the Rogues opened up with baskets from midcourt to increase their lead but Lingren and Walker kept the Beavers in the run ning with several backets from th free tliciw line and field. <U»ld HUI closed the gap a little in the final quarter by scoring 6 tallies to the Rogues’ four. Lineups were as follows: Rogue River—26 22—Gold HUI Hatch (3) F (10) D. Walker (6) Lingren Hartman (IIP F (2) Ritter Simpson c Cornutt Reynolds (12) G G (4) Horton Milton (1) Kell, Substitutions Gold Hill. Hutchins; Rogue River. Baker. Referee: L. L. Peal, Grants Pass. Seconds Lose 18 to 16 The Gold Hill seconds were beat en in the preliminary by a score of 18 to 16. Although Ihe Gold Hill team was leading by a score of 17 to 1 at the end of the first half Rogue River suddenly came to life in the last period and peppered the hoop with shots that resulted in Ihe locals defeal. In the first half it appeared the Rogue River squad had never seen a basketball before and Gold Hill scored with ease. Substitutions were run in for Gold Hill allowing their opponents to creep up in the score column. A last-minute effort to save the game by putting in the original players proved unsuccess ful as Ihe game was over before they got started. C entral Point 40; Gold HlSlI 20 Friday the 12th was evidently to close to being Friday Ihe 13th for the high school basketball teams. It brought the first conference de feat to the Beaver squad and knock ed them from their perch on top the conference heap. The Central Point high cagers were the outfit that ad ministered the lacing to the locals, the score being 40 Io 20. The second team also look it on the chin in the preliminary contest. The final score wns 20 io 5. The Pointers' overhead uassing anil tricky plays lind the Beavers fooled most of the game nnd the heretofore airtight defense failed to stop the avalanche of Central Point baskets. Gold Hill «-aged the first bucket and seemed to be on the ■tight track for the first few min utes of the game. In the second quarter however things began to happen and when the teams went to the dressing rooms for the half the Pointers were holding the long end of a 26 to 6 score.

R. to Coast Gets Hearing Approval of H arbor at Cres cent C ity and Connecting R ailw ay Asked by C ali fornia Congressman. Representative Clarence F. Lea tP., Cal.) sold Saturday in Wash ington, D. C* be had asked the army board of engineers for rivers and harbors to recommend the approval of the report of the divisional en gineer for the development of the harbor at Crescent City, Cal., sub ject to a provision that assurances he given that a railroad will be built connecting with Grants Pass, Oregon. The request was made in a letter Io Col. W. J. Barden, chairman of the army engineering board. Lea observed that Colonel Robbins, di vision engineer, had recommended what “may properly be regarded as a splendid and adequate deep water development of Crescent Citv har bor.” The report, Lea said, lecognized the interior country is now denied any advantageous outlet to the sea, by physical handicaps that render satisfactory transportation practi cally impractical. “Manifestly,” Lea wrote, “the re port anticipates that if such a har- >or is provided, rail connection with the interior will follow and justify the enlarged harbor. Thus, a leep sea harbor and a railroad are much dependent upon each other. One must be assured before the oth er can be provided.” For that reason, Lea said, after conferences with proponents of the developments in Del Norte county, Caliornia, “we waive the request the project be adopted without a railroad. We now pray that your board recommend approval of the Robbins report subject to a provis ion in substance that the improve ment be dependent upon satisfac tory assurances to the secretary of war that a railroad he built within a reasonable time from Crescent City to Grants Pass. The basic problems of the mid- Paciiic Coast area. D « added, are to secure both the railroad and the larbor, each to aid the other. “If we can have definite knowl- elge of Ihe conditions on which this harbor can become available, then these two problems will be greatly 'amplified.” I.ea said the interstate commerce commission had approved the con struction of a railroad from Cres cent City to Grants Pass. The Cal ifornia and Oregon Coast railroad already has 15 miles of track in use extending south from Grants Pass oward Crescent City, and it was ipon this aplication that the I. C. C. suthorized construction of the re- nainder of the route. Construction of the railroad and ’mprovement o the harbor would be a great boon to the lumber and oulp industry of southern Oregon and northern California, propon ents pointed out. The Robbins report recommended deepening the entrance channel and turning basin of Crescent City har bor sufficiently to allow large freighters to make it a port of call.
