Bv Hank Green
Green's confectionery entered
the district playoff tournament
by edging a battling Momigas
quintet 40 to 42 at the local
junior hih gymnasium last
night in a game that was nip.
nri-turk throughout.
Just to give you an idea how
close it really was, take the
scores at the end of each quar
ter. The scoreboard showed a 7
to 7 tie at the first quarter, 21
to 21 at the half and Green's on
the long end of a 34 to 29 count
at the third quarter pause.
Werner Helps Win
Two ouick shots directly un
der the basket bv Billy Werner
in which he snatched the ball
literally out of the hands of Mo
bilgas players on a pass in from
out of bounds, proved the mar
gin of victory for Green's.
Mobilgas matched with even
tual winners practically point
for point in the first half and
even got more shots in the sec
ond quarter than did Green's
They missed more than they
made and so Green's seldom was
more than a couple of points be
hind at any time.
Lead Changes Often
The lead changed often in that
first half but In the final two
quarters the speed and general
all-around playing helped
Green's gradually pull away un
til at one Dolnt late in the
fourth quarter when the confec
tionerymon were on top by
eight or 10 points.
This playoff last night was
necessitated by the fact the two
otiintets had each won and lost
the same number of games and
were tied for second half honors
In AAU league No. 2.

Coast Leaguers
Begin Training
Los Angeles, Feb. 21 U.R) -Seven
Pacific Coast league base
ball teams prepared to launch
spring training programs in
Southern California today, and
their managers predicted stiff
competition in the 1950 circuit.
The managers agreed that ex
pansion programs at San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles, the sev
enth and eighth clubs in the
league last year, and light team
losses throughout the circuit
would make the season tougher
than 1949.
They tabbed defending cham
pion Hollywood and San Diego
tops.

Basketball Wednesday
Jacksonville, Feb. 21 Jack
sonville Lions will roar and the
Applegate Night Riders will gal
lop on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
Both will be trying a little plain
and fancy basket shooting also.
Recently Ed Kubli as spokes
man of the Applegate Night Rid
ers issued a ringing challenge to
the Jacksonville Lion's club for
a game of this here so-called bas
ketballall holds barred if de
tected. The Lion's club led by Art Da-
vies gleefully accepted and
scheduled two practices, the first
in 20 years.

meted out by both coaches. Liions

High School Now
Medford high varsity basket
ball squad took a breather yes
terday so the boys could get a
rest for those that needed it and
others might get "loosened up,"
but drills were scheduled to re
sume this afternoon after school
closed.
Coach Frank Roelandt and
every member of the Black Tor
nado cage squad has one big
thing in mind this week beat
Grants Pass Saturday nieht on
the Cavemen's floor. While the
local victory would not change
the Cavemen's standings, a de
feat for G.P. would be a tough
blow.
Grants Pass is undefeated in
Southern Oregon conference-district
4 games to date and already
has practically clinched the
championship. As a matter of
fact the Cavemen have dropped
but two basketball games all the
year one to the SOC frosh and
the other to Marshfield.
Medford plays at Eagle Point
on Friday evening, at Grants
Pass Saturday and will play Il
linois Valley (Kerhyl at Cave
Junction Tuesday, February 28.
The latter is a change from the
earlier March 3 scheduling. The
February 28 game will be the
final for the Tornado.

The word is spreading and fast that light
medium GMCs for 1950 are the best buys in
the whole light-medium field ! There are plenty
of reasons why. These new GMCs offer even
better performance and greater economy than
the quick-stepping, money-saving CMC of
the past. They're easier riding, easier driving
. . improved to provide more comfort for the
driver, more profit for the owner on every
core. Last, but far from least, they are prod
ucts of the General Motors division that i the
world's largest exclusive producer of commer
cial vehicles . . . that has, in addition to its
own ultra-modern facilities, full access to the
unparalleled CM research and proving
operations that continually work to make
"more and better things tor more people."
143 SOUTH RIVERSIDE
Little more need be said to
emphasize the seriousness and
rivalry that prevails.
Led by Granddad Scotty Ma
theny who will play somewhere
around center position (the best
position from whic to control
sons - In - law) the Jacksonville
Lion's club promises to field a
team which is not only fast but
loose. Leon Offenbacher at for
ward will demonstrate that there
has been an Offenbacher around
for a good many days and it's
been a good many.
Orchestra Leader
Dick Spane, orchestra leader,
will show that swing can come
from the hip as well as the gui
tar. Other stars Class of '15 to
Class of '35 too numerous to
mention will be there to show
that these "Kids" just can't play
basketball like it was played in
the good old days.
Preliminary to the main event
the lady Applegate Night Riders
smarting from a recent defeat in
donkey basketball at the hands
of the lady Lions will be seeking
revenge. Tea parties have given
way to sore muscle pitches at
a ten foot high ring.
First Game 7:30
The first "game?" is scheduled
to begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Jack
sonville gym. All profits will go
to the Boy scouts to help send a
representative to the National
Jamboree at Valley Forge, Pa.
A return bout is scheduled to
be held at Applegate March 3 if
sufficient participants remain
living. Proceeds will be used for
the same purpose in the Apple
