Rogue River, which managed to nick Gold Hill by only 30 to 28 on Thursday and Talent by 39 to 37 on Friday, had lit tle trouble in subduing the tensed up Loggers on Saturday. The Chieftains ran up six points before Butte Falls countered and increased the distance to 15 to 8 by the quarter horn. Pete Purrier of Rogue River, the tourney's most valuable player tallied 11 points in the quarter. He got 24 for the even ing. Halftime advantage favored the victors 34 to 19. Butte Falls outshot the Chiefs 12 to 10 dur ing the third period but Rogue River showed its supremecy by rolling up 24 markers to 13 in the final frame and reserves contributed 14 of these. Second high man for Rogue River witli 10 points was Gene Depuy, who made the all-star squad along with Purrier. Dar win Moore and Pinochle Poole, also named all-stars, scored 14 apiece for Butte Falls. Rogue River will meet either Sairud Heart of Klamath Falls or Paisley for the district crown and a state tourney berth. The Chiefs are defending district champs. Talent won third in the Jack son county tourney, besting Phoenix 42 to 29. Jacksonville edged Gold Hill 28 to 24 for the consolation trophy. Others named all-star were Rollie Hartley, Orville Nichols and Herb Combs, Talent; Fred Furry, Phoenix and Tink Palm er and Bob Smith, Gold Hill.

Hoppe Retains Billiard Crown Chicago, Feb. 20 (U.R) Wil lie Hoppe still reigned today as king of the three-cushion billiard table. i The 62-year-old cue-master won three gruelling matches yesterday to retain his world's championship. It was his eighth title. The championship was decid ed last night in a playoff match between Hoppe and Joe Cha niaco of Mexico City, who de feated Hoppe Saturday the old master's first loss in three years. Hoppe was cool and deliber ate last night as he sought re venge against Chamaco with the championship at stake. Chamaco. who had been a bril liant scorer in his earlier matches, was left In well-nigh impossible safety positions. So well did Hoppe blanket his op ponent (hat Chamaco was able to score only 6 points in the fi nal 20 innings. The final score was 50 to 28 in 58 innings. Petty 's Contract Sold By Nuggets Mcl Carpenter, business man ager of the Medford Nuggets, to day announced the sale of the contract of Emery "Little Sam" Petty, center fielder with the 1949 Nuggets. The contract was purchased by Petty and his fa ther, F. E. Petty, to enable the little outpasture guard to bid for a spot on a team of higher classi fication. Petty was sent to Medford last year by the Brooklyn Dodgers and although his con tract was purchased by the Med ford club, Brooklyn had an option to pick him up at the end of the season, which they failed to do.
