A word of advise to Salem's grid foes next fall: The Vikings are going to be a tough and tricky outfit and anyone beating them will know they have been in a football game. Basketball fans will get one last look at the Southern Ore gon conference members to morrow night when the district four tournament gets underway at Southern Oregon College gym at Ashland. Each confer ence, member has played the other at least twice, and in some cases, four times yet they must go at it again to determine which is the better team. Medford high went through the league race in grand style and came out unbeaten to win the conference title. Be cause of ' their , fine record, fans are expecting to see the Tornado sweep through the tournament with . little trouble. We are not going to predict the outcome of the tournament for it all depends on how Bob Watson. Carl Reich. Jim Cave, Earl Stelle, Don Waldron and Jerry Ross feel. They have been sick with cheat colds and have taken part In but two prac tices in over a week. In a brief running practice yesterday they were puffing hard and gave indications they would not be able to play much of the opening game against Klamath Falls tomorrow mgnt However, they have been in good shape all season and could recover fast. If the six stalwarts are unable to plBy the larger part of the game, Medford will have to rely cn substitutes and a prayer to carry them through the tournament. The Klamath Falls Marines Ashland Elks basketball game here Jan. 31, for benefit of the Jackson county infantile paralysis fund took in a gross of $446.75. After $23.34 for federal tax was deducted. $423.41 was turned over to Ralph Sweeney, treasurer. That 92 to 42 shellacking Ash land Elks hung on the Medford high Ramblers tops anything in this section of the state this year. Herb Edwards forward on the Southern Oregon college basket ball team at Ashland, has rolled up 72 points in three games. Can any southern Oregon hoop play er top that? JUNIORS CLOSE Medford junior high basket ball season came to a close yes terday when the varsity handed Grants Pass Frosh a 28 to 25 de feat in an overtime and Jake Schaefer's eighth graders eked out a 24 to 21 win over the GP eighth graders in two over times.
