U,R) New superlatives and the supply Is getting low wre in order again today for that slam mln' smoothie of the fairways, Golfer Sammy Snead.

Harry Chipinan Mall Tribune Sports Editor Rogue River and Arlington will turn the basketball spot light on Mcdford tonight and tomorrow night when they clash on the MHS South Oakdale maple boards for the right to enter the state tournament at Salem. It will be a best two out of three series, the third game to be played at Arlington if necessary. , We had the pleasure of watch ing Rogue River trim Merrill in Ashland Friday night to earn the right to meet Arlington. They were paced by Junior Dlmick, a fine ball player, who definitely was the sparkplug of the whole club. He is one of the fastest men we have watched this season, with the possible ex ception of Jim Noreen of Klam ath Falls. Oimick has an excel lent eye for the basket and his passing and team work make him an outstanding asset to the Rogues. He is a shifty dribbler who fakes his guard out of posi tion for more clear shots at the bucket or for a better pass to a teammate. Native of Wimer Being the star of a team Is liable to go to the head of a young high school boy, but not so with Dimick. His teammates and fellow students at Rogue River high school idolize Mm and claim he Is a "straight guy." He Is a native of Wimer, In Evans Valley north of Rogue River. We have often wondered how Central Point, with their high scoring certer, Shrler, ever managed to lose the Jackson Josephine county tournament to the Rogues but after watching Dlmick and company perform against Merrill we believe we have the answer. The Rogues have height under the back board, a good floor game and are better than average shots. Maybe Arlington will beat them for the coveted state tour ney berth but If they do, the boys from the banks of the Co lumbia will know they have been "through the mill." Lovers of the hoop sport who trek out South Oakdale tonight will see a great basketball game, a game between two champions eager to try their luck at state honors. Riebe Tops Field In Hoop Scoring Fort Wayne, Ind., March B. Forward Mel Riebe, Cleveland, today held the national basket ball league scoring champion ship with a record of 606 points. Riebe won the title last night as his team lost to the Fort Wayne Zollners 68 to 58, Riebe scored 29 points to win the title over Bobby McDermott of the Zollners by five points. At the beginning of the game, Riebe had S77 points and McDermott had 571. Both players had top ped the former record of 406 set by Chuck Chuckowlt of the To ledo Rcdmen in 1941. If UMi-GOOd!

Boston, Rangers Work For Spot In Hockey Play-Off By United Press The Boston Bruins and New JOHNSON York Rangers seemed to be backing into their job of getting into the Stanley cup playoffs to day and If the reserve process continues, the Chicago Black hawks may move in on them. Boston still held fourth place by a one point margin, despite last night's 10 to 4 drubbing at Detroit, simply because the Ran gers were losing at home to Toronto, 6 to 3. Meanwhile the Blackhawks put forth a terrific third period rally that netted five goals and a 6 to 4 victory, over the league leading Montreal Canadiens at Chicago. That left Chicago only a point behind New York and two points behind Boston. Donald E. Dixon, George C. Brees Enlist In Navy Donald E. Dixon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bradford C.

Day of the Blue Moon ranch, Medford, was elected president and Laurance Horton of the Horton Hereford ranch, Klamath Falls, vice- president. Flans were made to again conduct the annual fall show and sale at Klamath Falls on October 28 and 29 this year. Breeders from the Pacific coast have annually brought in and consigned their registered Here fords to this sale. It has proven to be one of the most successful auctions on , the Pacific coast. The registered livestock auctions are held In several strategic localities In the western states where raisers of commercial and registered cattle may congregate to buy their herd bulls and other cattle necessary to successfully continue their production of beef. The auctions are recogn ized as saving transportation, affording wide opportunity for selection of breeding stock at one point. The same high standard In the quality of cattle will be main tained which directly has In creased the quality of the cattle In the commercial herds in this area. Since its inception in 1938, the association has sold close to $300,000 of registered, cattle. The organization, has been suc cessful in increasing the quality of cattle throughout the country. The credit for this accomplish ment has been greatly due to Fred Bayliss, superintendent of Mountcrest Ranch and ' R. G Fowler, Jackson county agent, according to spokesmen of the association. The two have served as president and secretary-treasurer of the association since its inception and cattlemen of the country express their gratitude for what they have contributed In the way of time and energy. Although both men stated they would not be up for re-election this year, they Intend to keep an active interest in the association.
