to repeat last season wnen ivieu
ford had a so-so regular season
-j onri ihon ivnn the tourna
ment at Eagle Point without too
much trouble in doing so.
Grants Pass does not figure to
have much trouble in defeating
Ashland on the Cavemen's court
tonight so meaiora must win -keep
within a game of tying
Grants Pass in the standings.
The Cavemen and Tornado play
February zo ana um
the district champion.
Other Games Tonljht
Games in the conference and
district tonight will send Eagle
Point to Medford, Central
Point to Klamath Falls and Ash
land to Grants Pass.
Mathematically speaking only
Ashland, Central Point arid Illi
nois Valley have been eliminat
ed from the title race. Each team
plays the other twice and with
seven teams in the conference
that means each school plays 14
games.
Vanity Games MS
Coaches of other teams than
these three, however, know that
a break or two here and there
can give one of them a victory
that will knock one of the other
four out of the running.
Games both nights for most of
the schools will see the varsity
quintets playing about 8 p.m.

Wrestling
Big Crowd
For Weekly Contests
An enthusiastic crowd which
Jammed the armory to the raft
ers last night witnessed by far
the best wrestling card of the
lau season. They were drawn
there by Gorgeous Gus, the wres
tling bear, and nobody went
away disappointed.
Gus mauled Georee Dusette
for seven minutes and 52 sec
onds before stretching out over
him to win with a body press.
Bill Fox, the bear's owner, had
done a good job of training him
and although Dusette flipped the
bear several times and came
within a split second of winning
a S1UIJ bonus lor a rolling fall,
the bruin tossed Dusette around
enough to wear him down.
Baar After Refers
Th bear apparently didn't like
the looks of Referee Earl Yoak
ley for whenever he got a chance
he was all over the arbiter and
Fox had to pull him off.
The Great Atlas had to stoop
pretty low to whip Karl Gray
but when he did it there was no
question of whether Gray would
come back for more. Gray gave
the conceited New Yorker more
than he bargained for and was
generally roughing up the self
styled big shot when Atlas of
fered a handshake as an offer
to cease the rough stuff.
'Gray accepted and for several
minutes it was a fine wrestling
match with clean breaks. Atlas
finally saw his chance and
smacked Grav with a virions
wallop to the mid-section and
applied a full nelson for the pay
off. Lipscomb Winner
Jack Lipscomb outsmarted
Fox to take the deciding fall in
the opener. After each had taken
a fall, Lipscomb feigned injury
and when Fox turned to Yoak-
ley to see if the ref wanted to
stop the match, Lipscomb
grabbed him and won the fracas
with a half crab. Yoakley prob
