GRADE SCHOOL CAOERS Junior varsity basketball games for Mcdford grade schools Tuesday will see Lincoln play ing at Roosevelt and Washing ton at Jackson with opening whistle scheduled for 4:15 p.m. Eagles Book Grants Pass EhrIc Point, Feb. 6 Conference-leading Grants Pass high will be seen in action on the Eagle Point high floor Tuesday at 8:15 p. m. when the youths coached by Shirley Callaghan try to get back into the South ern Oregon conference battle with an all-important victory. The Eagles currently are lead ing the J-D-J conference with an undefeated record but after two opening SOL victories they have had a little the worse of the argument so far. Giants Pass with its superior height and size, not to mention ability to floor two teams of rela tively equal strength, probably will be favorites tomorrow on the Eagles floor. However, Eagle Point has shown it can be a tough custo mer in view of its J-D-J record and early Southern Oregon con ference victories and undoubt edly will give the Cavemen a tough evening. Grants Pass is undefeated in District 4 and Southern Oregon conference con tests. A prelim at 8:45 p. m, will precede the varsity game.

Those novelty occasions In St. Louis will be on Aonl 20 witn Pittsburgh, on May 3 with Brooklyn and then not again un til August 28 also with Brook lyn. Keeping Pace All but two other National league clubs are keeping pace with the after-dark trend. The Braves will play 37 night games, the Phillies 30, the Pirates 25, the Reds 24, and the Dodgers 21. The Giants are holding the line against the "Inflation" stick ing to 14 or Just two games with each visiting club while the Cubs, of course, have none at all.
