LEAGUE CHIPS
Norm Worthley's Medford
cagers cinched the Southern Ore
gon junior high basketball
crown when they handed Ash
land a 26 to 18 defeat Wednes
day. The win gives the local
hoopers a record of six wins
against one defeat and although
they yet have to play Grants
Pass, they mathematically can
not be beaten out of the cham
pionship. The Medford eighth graders,
losers of but one game this sea
son, smacked the Ashland eighth
grade team to the tune of 30 to
16 in the preliminary.

season ends and an football
men are urged to report for the
cinder sport.
Medford Ramblers, originally
in the Southern Oregon inde
pendent hoop league, are back
in the circuit under Bower
man's policy to provide athletic
recreation for as many high
school boys as possible. The
Ramblers were forced to aban
don when they lost J.C. Tucker,
their coach, but have again
been organized under the
watchful eye of Alex McDon
ald. They will replace the Med
ford junior varsity in the circuit.
The district four basketball
tournament between high
school teams of Klamath Falls.
Ashland, Grants Pass and Med
ford will be held at the South
ern Oregon- College of Educa
tion gym in Ashland March 1
and 2 . The college is sponsor
ing the meet this year, mainly
because nobody else wanted it.
Desnite the fact that they are
definitely not in favor of the
toumey. Medford school offic
ials said It could be held here
since it had been voted In but
SOCE took over to keep the
meet an Ashland affair.
We have absolutely no use
for the tournament and can
see no conceivable reason
whv It should he plaved. If
Southern Oreaon leaaue
plav should end In a tie we
eould see a vlavoff between
the two top teams but can't
set anv use of draqetlner the
o'hers In on another crack at
the gravy.
If coaches of the four com
oeting schools want a tourna
ment It would receive onr
etamo of annroval jf thev would
do awav with leaeue n'ay. Whv
have both? Leaoiie nlay lose?
Its purpose when the team
know thev have to go through a
tournament to gain a berth in
the race for the state champion
ship. Anv team miht have a
bad nioht and droo a tourna
ment fiame ftr thorouahlv
outclassing all leaque opnosi
tlon. JuM'minonse a last place
tam should hannen to qet
"hot' and win the tourna
ment. It wouldn't be a fair
representation of th dl"l-t
to send them to the state
tournament but they would
be the ones to qo because
thev won a couDle of qames
after belnq kicked around all
season. Some business, Isn't
It?
' Of course, a team which Is of
chamolonship calibre should be
able to sweeo their league and
also the tournament. But our
nrmiment Is whv have both?
Without the Ipaeue, high school
teams In the district could book
considerably more outside
games and give their hometown
fans a better chance to see out
side competition in action. Let
us hope school officials see the
light of day next year and cut
out one or the other.
Contrary to a story printed
elsewhere, there will be NO
spring football practice et
Medford Mqh school. To be
gin with. Bill Bowerman,
who will handle the coaching
reins next fall, is absolutely
not in favor of a spring foot
ball practice even if the Ore
gon High School Activities
Association would allow It.
Bowerman' said track will
start a few days after basketball
Basketball fans probably
will see a close and hot game
here tonight when Medford
tangles with Klamath Falls at
the South Oakdale caiaba
emporium. The pelicans bow
ed to Medford on their own
court Jan. IS but their 52 to
26 pasting of Ashland last
Saturday night convinced us
that the Pels have come to
the front and are a team not
to be sold short.
Its a heavy schedule that's
facing the Black Tornado for
the next week. They take on
the highly-touted Oakland Boys
Club here Saturday night, travel
to AshlanJ for a klng's-x frolic
Monday night, move to Eugene
Tuesday for a mix with the Ore
gon Frosh and return here in
the last conference game of the
season, against Ashland, Friday
night. The durtain rings down
with a Feb. 22 and 23 meeting
with Bend on the Central Ore
gon floor.
GUN CLUB TO SHOOT ON
16 YARD TRAPS SUNDAY
Medford Gun club will shoot
over the 16 yard traps beginning
at 10:30 a. m. Sunday. Because
of the large attendance at the
shoots this year the management
requests as many shooters as
possible to register for the events
at the start of shooting. Coffee
and sandwiches will be served
in the club house by Mac Le-
mond. Plenty of ammunition will
be available for both members
'and visitors who desire to shoot.

JONES TO
RETURN TO GOLF
New York, Feb. 8 (U.PJ
Word came up out of Augusta
today that Bobby Jones, the!
"grand slam" master of 1930,
would resume his annual trip to
the tournament post when the!
Masters is reinstated April 4-7
but there was little hope even In j
Georgia that he stands a chance;
of winning.
The reason is that the Masters
is one of the toughest invitation
al events of them all and even
the hot, tournament-tempered
pros have their troubles reach
ing the payoff window.
