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.
Jim Noreen made good a- gift
toss when- he was fouled by
Rlggs to put Klamath Falls back
in front 6 to S. 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. Hayes scored a tip
in and Riggs got another basket
to make it 28-12 before Klamath
hit again. Blehn made a point
on nayes ioui and white added
one on a technical foul called
on Medford supporters. Palmer
added one on Riggs' foul and
Biehn split the cords with
nice basket. White and Redkey
eacn scored to make it 28 to 22,
Jim Cave added a charity toss
for a 29-22 Medford bulge as the
third period came to a close.
Medford's second team started
the final stanza with Noreen cnl
lecting the first count on Stelle's
foul. Cave scored two points on
rree inrows, technical fouls call
ed on Pelican Coach Marble
Cook. Dean Mason added a point
on Howard Whillock's foul to
make It 31 to 24 for Medford
Cave rang up another point on
a technical foul called on No
reen. Medford's regulars then
came into the fray and Klamath
took time out.
Players Ejected
Ross slipped in a basket and
then added a free throw on
Noel's personal. Rlggs dropped
in a field goal to make the count
38-24 when Joe Zaroslnskl col
lected a basket and Noel added
one point on Ross' foul. Watson
and Noreen were ejected from'
the game for "unsportsmanlike
conduct." Fawcett added a point
on Noreen's technical as the
game ended.
Medford was woefully weak
on foul shots, making only six
out of 21 chances while the Peli
cans totaled 15 out of 21. Med
ford made 18 baskets while
holding Klamath to six.

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.

type of merchandise. As soon as
It arrives in our store it is imme

first come, first served. That's
a fair policy that all will ap

is right and we don't indulge in
it, hero at Utz's.
