OOOO I Stammen.s 0 0 0 0 OF Medford Fails to Display Top Form Against Klam ath Falls; Wins 38 to 27. Medford's Black Tornado, looking slow and missing many shots, still had enough aouny to stop Klamath Falls 38 to 27 in a southern Oregon conference game here Friday night. The victory game Medford the con ference title, despite three games remaining to be played. It wasn't the same Medford team that ran rough-shod over Bend, Salem and Grants Pass in their last four trips to the post but rather showed more of their early-season form instead of playing the type of ball of which they are capable. The Medford team at times showed signs 01 internal strife instead of being the smooth-working ball club they have been In the past. Klamath Falls showed consid erable Improvement over their series with Medford three weeks ago but still lacked size and ex perience enough to cope with the Medford quintet; Ross Scores First Jerry Ross slipped in under the basket to score the first two points of the ball game but Jim Palmer, Pelican forward, came right back and tied it up with a nice long shot. Larry White scored a free throw on Dick Fawcett's foul and Bud Biehn hit the hemp when he was given a free throw on Darrell Riggs' foul to make the tscore 4 to 2 for the Pelicans. Ross scored a basket from the foul lane but i fouled in the attempt by Thome and made his free throw to give Medford a 5-4 bulge.

Fawcett hit the hemp to take the lead for Med ford but Noreen evened the count at 7-7 when he made good on a free throw when he was fouled by Fawcett. Two quick baskets by Ross and Larry Hayes gave Medford an 11 to 7 edge as the first quarter ended and the Pelicans never again were ahead. White started the second per lod with a free throw scored on Rlggs' technical then Riggs ad ded a point when fouled by Ma son. Rlggs scored a tip-in and Ross added a field goal to give Medford a 16-8 margin before Thome hit the hemp for Kla math. Hayes, on a nice back pass from Fawcett, parted the net and Bob Watson and Ross added field goals. Bob Redkey scored when fouled by Rlggs as the second quarter buzzer sound- ed with Medford out in front 22 to 11. Reserves Play Rlggs drew first fire In the second half but Noreen came right back to score on Fawcett's fourth foul.

SET TO WORK FOR POST-WAR PROFIT Chicago, Feb. 10 (U.R) The Ail-American Football confer ence, with more than $2,150,000 already invested in talent and franchises, is definitely set to challenge the long-established National Football League in a knock-down, drag-out postwar fight for players and profits. The N. F. L which celebrat ed its 25th anniversary last year by setting an all-time attend ance mark, has weathered many skirmishes with small competi tors, but the All-America confer ence is ready to throw large size bankrolls and big names into the forthcoming scrap at a rate the N. F. L, never has seen. Also getting in shape for the showdown, but only on a minor scale, are the Trans-America League, headed by John (Chick) Meehan,. former Manhattan, New York University and Syra cuse coach; the United States League with Harold' (Red) Grange as president, and the American League, a West Coast outfit which has enjoyed only spasmodic success to date. Seven owners and corpora tions have paid $$1,750,000 for franchises in the All-America, including such figures as Don Ameche, Christy Walsh and Mrs. Lou Gehrig. The various cldbs also have placed more than $400,000 on the line in con tracts for coaches and players for an overall $2,150,000 invest ment, which is a strong indica tion of the league's grandiose plans. This embryo group 'already has hired the former Notre Dame "horseman," James (Sleepy Jim) Crowley, as com missioned at $125,000 for five years. BALL HEADS SAY New York, Feb. 10 U.R The early returns indicated to night that 1945 may produce a bumper crop of baseball hold outs. While most clubs which mail ed out contracts well in advance of the Feb. 15 deadline have refused to reveal any figures, it was learned that only a few players have returned the docu ments signed. They apparently are waiting for clarification of their draft status, a further Washington di rective on 4-Fs, or are holding out for more money. Major league club owners, who en joyed one of their most success ful financial seasons in 1944, suspect it is the latter. The first to enter the 1945 holdout ranks publicly was Bill Jurges, New York Giant in fielder. Jurges advised Manager Mel Ott that he was retiring from baseball to devote his time to running his tavern and hotel and perhaps play.a fe wsemi-pro games. But it developed that the one-time star shortstop was dis satisfied with the cut which his 1945 contract called for. The years have crept up on Jurges he Is nearing 37 and a succession of injuries has drop ped him far below his peak years when he was classed as one of the best t-hortstops in the majors, and in normal manpower years his action would merit little at tention. ' But the situation is different now, for as much as he has slip ped, Jurges probably still would make a majority of the major league teams. Most of them are short of player talent and their manpower problems are ex pected to increase before the cur tain rites on the fourth wartime season in April.
