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.

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.

OF
ASS'N
At the annual meeting Satur
day of the Cal-Oregon Hereford
association John S. 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.
Mitchell Tillotson, manager
of the First National Bank at
Klamath Falls, was again elect
ed sales manager for the fait
sale. Sales committee for the
forthcoming year will be Claus
