"There'll be changes made"
In lhr district 4 class A high
school basketball team standings
Friday and Saturday evenings
this week as bagie rami, n.imii
ath, Central Point, Medford,
Kerby, Ashland and Grants Pass
meet each other.
Friday Medford's Black Tor
nado takes on Central Point on
the local senior high floor while
Eagle Point plays at Klamath
Falls and Grants Pass plays at
Kerby. All games will be at
8 p.m.
The following evening It will
be Granls Pass playing Medford
at Medford, Kerby will go to
Central Point, Ashland has a date
with Klamath Falls at Klamath
and Central Point plays at
Kerby.
Prelim Both Nights
Preliminary game Friday night
at Medford will put the Medford
Tiger Cubs against the Central
Point jayvces at 6:30 and on
Saturday the local jayvees will
play Grants Pass junior varsity
at 7 p.m. after the respective
sophomore teams start it off at
6 p.m. ., .
The varsity game here both
nights will begin about 8 p.m.
Should the Tornado get by the
Pointers here tomorrow night it
will take over first place alone
for at least 24 hours as the Cave
men who now are tied with Med
ford for first place in district 4
are idle Friday evening. The
Tornado may take it for good If
it wins Saturday night.
Pre-season forecasts that Med
ford and Giants Pass might be
the only ones really battling for
district honors were given u
sharp jolt last Saturday night
when the Cavemen barely edged
Klamath 43 to 41 and Medford
slid by Ashland 37 to 31 with no
easy game being played.
Ashland Topi Pointers
Friday games last week saw
Ashland smother Central Point
57 to 38 and Klamath wallop
Illinois Valley (Kerby) 81 to 11.
Prognostlcators now figure it
Is at least a three team race
Medford, Klamath and Grants
Pass and probably a four-way
clash when you include Ashland
hieh.
Eagle Point will be playing lis
first district game Saturday when
it visits Klamath Falls as a
scheduled tiff with Kerby at
Eagle Point last Saturday was
postponed Decause snow condi
tions prevented the Kerby (Illi
nois Valley) school team from
making the trip.
Friday Game Tough
No easy game for the Tornado
is expected Friday evening when
Central Point appears here, par
ticularly as the two schools have
been rivals for some time.
Klamath probably will have
Utile trouble against the Eagles
although Eagle Point is unde
feated in J-D-J league competi
' tion. Central Point is favored
over Kerby and Klamath over
Ashland.

Rassling Due
Here Jan. 19
Promoter Mack Lillard re
turned yesterday from a scout
ing trip to San Francisco and
Los Angeles with the announce
ment that weekly wrestling cards
will resume at the armory on
Thursday, January 19.
The promoter said several new
comers to the southern Oregon
grappling wars have been signed
for appearances in the near lu
ture, including Leo Wallick,
Cowboy Billy Hines, Tom Bell
and Lee Grable.
Davidson Aiki Match
Lillard said that when he re
turned he found a letter from
Buck Davidson offering to
wrestle Jack Lipscomb for noth
ing to settle our argument.
"If Davidson is that willing to
get the match, I'll promote it for
nothing and give Lipscomb my
hare as well as Davidsons,
Lillard said. "I don't see how
Lipscomb can afford lo pass up
that kind of an offer."
He said he expected to have
a card completed and ready for
announcement by Sunday.
19 Gridders
Died In 1949
Los Angeles, Jan. 12. !U.R)
Nineteen non-college players
died of football injuries in 1040
and seven were killed indirectly
by gridiron play, the American
Football Coaches association said
today
Colleges completed their sec
ond year In a row without a
death resulting directly from
play, Dr. Floyd R. Eastwood,
chairman of the association's in
jury and fatality committee, re
ported. Eastwood, dean of men at Los
Angeles Stale college, said his
report will be presented today
to the association in New York.
Nine of the direct football
deaths were in high school play,
seven in sandlot games and three
In athletic club competition, he
said.
One college death resulted in
directly from football, two in
pro games, three in sandlot ball
and one in high school.
cellar, is safe this week, being
idle.
12-1 Record So Far
Huskies, having compiled a 12
1 record In pre-season and early
conference play, mostly at home,
observers were awaiting the out
come of the Husky-Cougar se
ries with great anticipation.
An "old" adage around the
northern division is that if a
team can win 50 per cent of Its
road games and all of its home
games, it's "in" as far as the
championship goes.
Oregon State and Oregon
I played their first casaba game
against each other in lvui. Ihe
Beavers won. But O.S.C. holds
a 78-70 edge in the series and
would like nothing better than to
honor Coach "Slats" Gill with a
win at Gill coliseum.
Beavers Are Favorites
Coupled with the fact that
Oregon State has not lost both
games of a two-game home con
ference series since 1944, the
Beavers have been installed as
slight favorites to take the con
test. Ways of stopping Paul Sowers,
high-scoring Webfoot guard, and
Will Urban, all-around forward,
are the two most pressing prob
lems facing Gill. Sowers potted
31 points in the Cougar series
despite the checking of giant
Cougar Guard Gayda.
The tentative State starting
lineup was Bob Payne and Jim
Padgett at forward posts; Lcn
Rinearson at center with Dick
Ballantyne and Bill Harper as
guards.

Red Heads Edge Local
AAU Cagers, 24 to 23
Olson's famous Red Heads
girls' basketball team, tired from
a long trip over snow and ice
packed roads on the way to
Medford from the south plus a
game every night for some time,
barely edged the Crazy-Swayze
quintet of the Medford AAU
league last night 24 to 23.
The game played at the senior
high gym and sponsored by the

crowd. The local team led at the

Class B Cage
Tilts Friday
Valley Gyms
Third round in the county
class B high school basketball
schedule comes Friday night
with the two presently only un
defeated teams Butte Falls and
Rogue River vying with Talent

pect to St. Mary's (Medford) and
Gold Hill to Jacksonville. The

Toronto, Bruins Take
Hockey Loop Victories
By United Press
Instead of shaking up his Tor
onto Maple Leafs, maybe Connie
Smythe should try shaking up
the National Hockey league
schedule so the Leafs can play
the New York Rangers
exclusively.
Last night the fifth place
Leafs payed their Ranger cousins
another visit and skated home
with a 2 to. 1 triumph, their
fourth in seven games, with the
Blueshirts. New York has won
only one victory over the Leafs
this year and two ties.
The Boston Bruins won their
second straight victory of the
season from the front-running
Detroit Red Wings in another
2 to 1 squeaker.

New York. Jan. 12. !U.R -As
Chairman Eddie Eagan of the
New York commission relented
unexpectedly today on Middle
weight Champion Jake Lamotta,
Commissioner John (Ox) Da
Grosa of Pennsylvania cracked
the whip at Welterweight Boss
Ray Robinson.
Eagan did an about-face when
informed that Lamotta of the
Bronx had signed to meet Light
Heavyweigt Dick Wagner at De
troit on February 3 in the first
of a series of tune-up bouts be
fore defending his 160-pound
crown in June, probably at De
troit. Two weeks ago Eagan and his
commission threatened to vacate
Lamotta's title unless he signed
before February 1 for a defense
in March. Today, however,
Eagan said the commission prob
ably would give Lamotta favor
able consideration if he signed
before February 1 for a defense
in June.
Meanwhile, at Philadelphia
Commissioner Da Grosa announc
ed that the Pennsylvania com
mission would suspend Robin
son, the 147-pound champ, if he
tried to pull out of a scheduled

Joe Gordon Gets
Indians Contract
Cleveland, O., Jan. 12 (U.R)
Second Baseman Joe Gordon
said today he had received his
1950 contract from the Cleve
land Indians but added "I'm
afraid I don't like it."
Gordon, whose hitting fell off
last year despite his 20 home
runs, said "the contract they
mailed me cut my base pay S5,
000 and eliminated a bonus of
S2.500. It makes me wonder if
they really want me. Doesn't
seem consistent."
Thf former Yankee star said
he still hadn't made up his mind
on the question of retirement,
but strongly indicated by tele,
phone from his home In Eugene,
Ore., that he would play again
if he can reach a suitable finan
cial agreement.
