Eagle Point, Feb. 17 Rogue Riuer hiuri. undefeated in the county "B" high school round robin and seeking lU second straight county tournament and i district championship, almost got knocked out of the running last night. , The Chieftains got by the first round of the 1950 tourney by the merest whisker. They nudg- ed Gold Hill 30 to 28 in an over- ! time. In other first round games I ..oelnrrlav HllttP FfillS OUSted Inrksnnville 37 to 31, Talent licked St. Mary's of Mcdford 43 to 21 and Phoenix conquered . Prospect S3 to a. I nnfl Shot ArtiBtS It was a group of long-shot artists that almost bested Rogue River. The cmeitains seiaom antrA r.nlH Hill a chance close in and all the Beaver field goals were cast from way out. (joio Hill jumped into the lead when the encounter was 45 seconds old and Rogue River didn't catch up until only two and one-fourth minutes remained In regular playing time. In the end It was the calm, steady fourth quarter perform ance that paid off for the Chiefs, who came back like true champs while the Beavers were, per haps, a bit eager. Gold Hill held margins of 10 to 7 at the quarter and 21 to 17 at the half then spread the gap to 26 to 18 by holding Rogue River to one point in the third period. , Fourth Quarter Gold Hill got its only points in the fourth quarter on foul tosses by Tlnk Palmer and Jerry Eskew. Pete Purrler, Charles Jacobs, Don Poitevint and Gene Depuy tallied from the field for RoRue River to narrow the count to 28 to 26. On fouls by Bud Morgan and Jack Smith of the Beavers, Pur- rier and Depuy canned free tosses to tie the score. Purrler pushed through the winning bas ket after two and one-half min utes of the overtime. The Jacksonvllle-Butte Falls brush was close until Butte Falls pulled away in the final three minutes. In the first quarter Butte Falls emerged 5 to 3. The Loggers were still on top 15 to 13 at the half although Jackson ville tied the game up once. Score Tied Five During the third frame the score was knotted five times with Jacksonville finally getting a 27 to 24 advantage and then leading 27 to 26 at the quarter's end. The Loggers tied It up In the fourth stanza on Pinochle Poole's foul toss but Paul Hardv sank a gifter for a 28 to 27 Jacksonville edge. Butte Falls went ahead 29 to 28 on Poole's shot. LeRoy Clay of the Redskins evened the game at the free throw line. MEDF0RDv4a4WrRIBUNE Loggers permanent lead with a field goal for 31 to 29. The Loggers added six more points in the final three minutes while Greenamyer hit for Jack sonville with seconds remaining. Afternoon games yesterday- went pretty much as expected with Talent finding little trouble In outclassing St. Mary's 43 to 21 in a game that never was in doubt. The Bulldogs had much the better attack and smoother offense. Talent led 15 to 3 at the first quarter. 23 to 5 at the half, 34 to 9 at the third quarter and 38 to 13 at the automatic timeout whistle pause. Phoenix Has Rally The second game or tne aner- noon found Phoenix displaying second half scoring offense paced by the sharp-shooting Fred Furry to easily wallop Prospect 53 to 23. Furry, who had seven out of 10 foul shots and could hit from anywhere, tallied 23 points for Phoenix. Phoenix led 12 to 7 at the first quarter and 20 to 11 at the half but built it up to a 29 to 15 third quarter margin ana n to 18 at the automatic timeout.
