OREGON QUINTET
BEATS IDAHO BY
55 TO 45 SCORE
Eugene, Feb. 21 (U.R) The
University of Oregon basketeers
rambled to a 66-43 victory over
the University of Idaho Vandals
here last night and by virtue of
the triumph regained the top
berth in the northern division
standings.
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.

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.

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

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."
