Rogues Wait
Play-off
On March 1
Eagle Point, Feb. 20 The
road to the county tourney cham
pionship smoothed out for Rogue
River high after a couple of rut
ty stretches and the Chieftains
rambled to a 68 to 44 triumph
over the Butte Falls hoopmen
here Saturday night to gain the
right to represent the county in
District 5B play-offs starting on
March 1 on a Klamath county
court.
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.
Gold Hill won the sportsmanship
trophy, rivalry for which con
tributed much to the success of
the tourney, according to offi
cials of the event. About 1.500
spectators watched the Saturday
finals.

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.

await their rubber match at the armory Wednesday night. Berry s
crown will be at stake while Stickle's will be up only if both men

second meeting. Joe Kahut, popular northwest professional boxer,
will referee the card and will step three rounds in an exhibition
