The Ducks now lead the Ore gon State Beavers by a half game margin and top the Wash ington State third place team by a full game. Another victory over the Vandals in a second battle here tonight would hoist the Oregon crew another half game over their idle rivals. Last night's battle was a tight affair for exactly eight minutes but after that the Ducks hit their stride and rolled to an easy victory. When Hays scored for Oregon to make it 11-0, that was the end of any tightness to the ball game as the Ducks threw their mlle-a-mlnute offense Into high gear and rolled up a 34-12 lead with two minutes, to go in the first half. Idaho counted seven In those two minutes and tho midpoint count was 34-19. The closest the visiting Van dals got in the second half was 90-42 near the end of the game as the Oregon team, using re serves freely held their oppon ents at safe distance throughout. Sport Chips BY Harry Chipman Mail Tribune Sports Editor Mask In Final Match Here Medford high's unbeaten bas ketball crew will be the target of Grants Pass, Klamath Falls and Ashland when the four teams square off In the district tournament at Ashland Friday and Saturday. Medford has al ready walloped each of these quints four times but still has to play them in the tournament to decide which is the best team to represent the district in the state meet at Salem next month There should be no doubt in the minds of fans or players which has the best club but still the Tornados must come out again In an effort to prove it. The law of averages should give one of the three other teams a victory over Medford in five games. If such should happen at the district tournament, Medford would have to stay home from the state meet while a team which had been beaten by Med ford four consecutive times would make the northern trip. Jourmy Favored Supt. of Schools Theo. J. Nor- by of Ashland hit this point In 3 wiiu)U yii iEDFORD ARMORY THURSDAY NIGHT BOUTS STARTS 8:30 P.M. o THRILLS! o SPILLS! The Country'! BEST TALENT Tickets Now On Sals At BROWN'S, Phon. 273S And the OWL CLUB, Phone 23G0 i K V The Gray Mask, shown above with his famous half crab oa an unlucky opponent, will meet Harold (Blood and Cuts) Davidson tn the main event at Medford Armory tomorrow night. It will prob ably be the Mask's final appearance here and is expected to be a bitter contest, since Davidson has vowed to also wear a mask, de spite protests by tho hooded rascal. Also on the card are Pete Bel castro vs. Oust Johnson and Georges Dusette vs. Jack Kiser. a conversation regarding mo folly of a tournament the other day. Norby said one club might be a league team but would get the "jitters" and not be able to play in tournament competition. The tournament -team might not be able to hold its own in lea gue play but would be "hot" in a tournament. This department cannot agree with Norby's point, for in either case the team would not be a real champion and would not deserve a trip north. On the other ' hand, Norby agreed that tournament play should be ruled out with confer ence standings deciding the dis trict winner. But he added that he is all for the tourney this year, since Ashland still has a remote chance of winning. Simpson Votes 'No' Last season, when Ashland and Klamath Falls wound up the season In a tie for first place. Al .'Simpson, then Ashland coach, was the only man who voted against the tournament when the four coaches met to discuss plans. Now Simpson, at Medford, again was the only coach favoring abolishment of the tourney. Marble Cook, Klamath Falls mentor, favors tournament play, claiming it keeps interest going in the league for teams not hav ing a chance to win the league crown. Of course we can see Cook's viewpoint this season. since his club wound up in sec ond place and now gets one last chance to upset the apple cart and earn the coveted northern jaunt. League Play Recommended Oregon state high school ac tivities association recommends that tournament play to select district winners be abolished wherever league standings can be used. There is not a district in the state this year which could more logically use league standings to select a winner than district three. There are but five of the 18 districts In the state now using tournament play and some of them do not use a regular conference sched ule. If the tournament Is again voted in next year basketball fans are liable to see a Southern Oregon conference different from that now known. If con ference play doesn't mean any thing but glory, why not book some upstate teams instead of playing each other four times down here and then playing a fifth time to see who has the best ball club?

' PROSPECTS FOR APPEAR BRIGHT Washington, Feb. Jl U.B Baseball's 1949 prospects ap peared brighter today after a conference between the major league presidents and War Mobi lization Director James F. Byrnes yesterday brought forth no new obstacles for the sport. Ford Frlck of the American league and Will Harridge of the National league were optimistic after the hour-long conference on "manpower"' and said that they were all set to complete plans for the opening of the sea son in April. Frlck and Harridge were to see one other government offic ial today to wind up their trip here. They would not reveal his name, but it was believed that he was Col. J. Monroe Johnson, head of the office of defense transportation. ' Manpower was discussed In rather broad terms," Frlck said. 'Transportation and night games were not." He said the discussion had been "profitable" and that Byrnes was "cordial and kindly."
