Southern Oregon basketball con ference official! have voted In the annual tournament and, to make matters worse, voted to continue with the Southern Oregon con ference. Ashland, making ure they didn't offend any of the other schools, declined to vote, Klamath Falls and Grants Pass voted yes, and Medford voted an emphatic NO. If the sehoqls want the conference, all well and flood but we ean't see any seme in continuing with the tournament. And If they want the iournament. why not dispose of the conference? It seems silly is pley each other in league during the regular season to find out which team is the best and then conduct a tournament to determine which club goes to the state tournament. Ot course, the schools that do not exrject to have much of a club have a decided advantage Tip On Couqhinq Modern Way Rellivat Coldi-lrrltatlon, Eases Caught, Invltat Restful Sltep Now when a cold causes Irritation or head stuffiness that leads to night coughing, just do this at bedtime ...

Ask Throngs in Dealer Showrooms On October 26 the new Fords for 1946 went on display in dealer showrooms the country over. In city after city, town after town, dealcri re ported that the crowds who came to view these fin new automobiles equalled those who greeted the Introduction of the famous Ford Model "A" back In 1927 when showroom attendance passed the 10 000,000 mark. The opening day throngs were matched by those who came Saturday and later. And their opinion hat been unanimous. The words most frequently heard have been "The Greatest Ford Ever Built." They backed up their acclaim with orders 326,840 on "V-8 Day," October 26 nd Saturday, October 27. This advertisement is published to record the FORD MOTOR COMPANY Monday. If or. 5. 194$ In the tourney for If they can't whip the best team during the regular schedule they get an other crack at them In the play off. That almost happened to Medford last year at the Ashland tournament. Carrying an unde feated record into the playoff, the Tornado had an off night and met a fired-up Klamath Falls gang and had to go Into an extra period to eke out a three-piint margin. And all after Medford had whacked Klamath badly four times. With all due respect to our friends from over the hill, it just wouldn't have been a fair representation of southern Ore gon basketball to send the Peli cans to the tourney had they won. Some In favor of the tourna ment will argue that if a team is championship calibre they should be able to go through their conference schedule and also through the playoff. We don't feel that way, though. Take maor league baseball or even Coast league ball for that matter the Detroit Tig ers, winners of the World Series, lost ball games and still were champs. With few exceptions, teams are bound to lose games once in a while and still be the outstanding club. There was one improvement planned in the coming season, however. Conference teams will play each other but twice In- "liOTIEST F0KB EuEK Says Public from Coast to Coast! fa' 'There's a Ford stead of the customary four times. Some coaches at the meeting indicated they were growing tired of being whipped four times by the same club. We have been against holding both the conference and tourna ment ever aince we have been old enough to know what was going on and will continue to be against it so long as such a foolish plan is carried out. The ' southern Oregon conference is , one of the few districts in the entire state using a regular con ference season and a tournament It's too late to do anything about it this season but let's hope the guys who run the show get on the boat for the 1946-47 season. E. C. (Jerry; Jerome, the KMED "mouth," has a block of J00 tickets for Medford fans who care to attend the East-West Shrine football game in San Francisco, New Year's day. Any- one wanting tickets is advised to contact Jerome at once since the ducats will not be available long. Despite their lop-sided win over Bend here Friday night, the Black Tornado looked woe fully weak on tackling at times. It looks like the Med ford squad has been reading their own publicity and begin ning to think they're good. We'll have to admit they are pretty classy football aggre gation but from now on out the games become tougher all the time and, with another state title within their grasp, we'd hate to see them lose out because of a lack of devotion to the fundamentals. A lot of credit is due the plucky but badly outclassed Bend team. They never once let down and, even with the score hopelessly against them, they never once gave up trying to get a touchdown. It was really a treat to watch Frank Basher work the Friday night game. He's one of the classiest referees ever brought In here and Medford should feel fortunate In being able to secure his services. BOMBERS HALT L. A. San Diego, Nov. 5 U.R Bosh Prichard passed the pro fessional San Diego Bombers to a 28-20 victory over the Los Angeles Bulldogs yesterday, ac counting for all the Bomber touchdowns himself. U IT doep gratification of the entire Ford organisation at this splendid public reception . . , and to answer, at directly ai wo possibly can, the two questions most often asked. "HOW SOON CAN I . GET MY NEW FORD?" We sincerely beliove the answer is: "Sooner than you think!" And here'i why Ford, first with assembly line production of postwar cars, first to stock dealers for a nationwide display, it first In quantity production 1,000 units a day reach ed last week . . . 2,000 a day in prospect within 30 days. "HOW MUCH WIU. MY NEW FORD COST? " We think the answer to this is found in Ford's un varying policy through more than 40 years of operation: always the highest quality at the low est possible cost. TO THOS E WHO HAVE NOT YET SEEN TH E NEW FORDS: All our dealers have them on dis play. Please make it a point to tea if you, too. don't agree that these, are the "Greatest Fords Ever Built." in Your Future NEW YEAR'S DAY San Francisco, Nov. 5 U.R) Coach Jimmy Phelan and his Galloping Gaels were back in the hills of Moraga today listen ing to the New Year's day bowl offers, but saying nothing of what the future held in store. Irish Jimmy, despite the 26-0 shellacking his team plastered on the tottering Trojans from USC Saturday, was taking noth ing for granted. His boys have what should be a "breather" this week in Fresno State but the Bulldogs are known as one of the tougher clubs of the minor schools and, as usual, Phelan will be called upon to use his first stringers for at least half of the tilt. To Ploy UCLA The other game remaining on the schedule is against an admit tedly strong UCLA in the Los Angeles coliseum on Nov. 17. That is expected to be the key game in deciding if the Gaels stay undefeated and to which bowl they may go. Meanwhile, with a lucrative New Year's day offering expect ed from either the Sugar or Orange Bowl officials in the near future, the Gaels are ex pected to turn down a request that they play an early Decem ber game In Honolulu, so that Herman Wedemeyer, Charles (Spike) Cordeiro and Harold Van Giesen could go on display be fore their home-town fans. Only Unbeaten Team The Gaels today are the ohly undefeated and untied major gridiron aggregation in the 'far west. The Fleet City Bluejackets in the same bracket until yes terday, got caught with a 13-13 tie with the underdog Sti Mary's Pre-Flight Alrdevils. It was a great battle of AU-Americans, with 60,000 fans filling Kezar stadium in San Francisco. At Marysvllle, the Camp Beale Bears came from behind yester day to defeat Albany Navy 24 to 7. Albany scored in the first few minutes of play but the Bears rolled the Navy back with three touchdowns and two safeties. BATTLE ROYAL ATITO START CASABA ARMORYTHURSDAY A seven-man battle royal, first to be held in the history of pro fessional wrestling in Medford, will be the feature of Thursday night's armory card, Promoter Mack Liilard announced today. Ernie Piluso, Harold (Blood and Guts) Davidson, Bulldog Jackson, A n g e 1 o Martinelli, Rough Rufus Jones, Coast Cham plot! Jack Lipscomb, and Gorilla Poggi will make up the free-for-all. First man eliminated will get only transportation money while the others will make up three regulation matches to follow the battle royal, pairings to be de cided in order of elimination. Two referees, one outside the ring and one Inside, will be used, Liilard added. Montreal, Chicago Share in National Ice Hockey League By United Press Montreal's defending cham pions and the speedy Chicago Blackhawks shared the National hockey league lead today with Identical records three won and one lost. Montreal's first loss was the Boston Bruins' first win, and came before 13,800 Boston fans by a 6 to 8 score. Chicago, playing before a crowd of 19,200, took advantage of a Toronto penalty to score the Winning goal in a 7to 4 vic tory after the Leafs had rallied to tie.
