SATURDAY GAME Winner of tongiht's district championship game will play at 6 p.m. Saturday at Mo Minnville armory against a team representing Portland. By Hank Green Green's confectionery team of Mcdford left little doubt in the minds of basketball fans last night that it was the better quin tet among Mcdford area AAU teams as it rallied in the second half to wallop the Rogue River (own team 68 to 46 at the senior high gym.

However, the Green's learn , rapped in 40 points to 15 for the ' Rogues in the middle quarters to help Win. The game started slowly with ' neither team showing too much In the way of accuracy but a big . tall fellow by the name of Hun ' toon for Rogue River display ing good coordination and bas- ' kct - making ability under the , other basket. . i Fouled Out Late I Had this fellow not fouled out . In the last half the score might : well have, been closer than it i was. , Green's showed again that it can outrun- most opponents and f It did so In that last half, indi cating the players are in good l shape and although the storemcn ;, lack height, can give an oppo : nent a rough time by just out running him. ' The victorious quintet lacked the services of its high-scoring ace Tex Gatlln but still others came through In the clinch to ' help the cause. Palmer joined !lhe squad once again to push in 12 points and Busack and Wer ner each got 11 for high scorers ' among the locals. Rogues Take Lead ; The score at the first quarter .favored Rogue River 14 to 11, at the half Green's was ahead 29 to 22 and at t'le third qinr her pause the confectionery team had gone out in front Bl lo 2D.

Al though both possess outstanding wrestling ability, the Atlas pre fers to mix his with a lot of rough stuff and often turns to ungentlemanly methods to gain tails. Dusette, on the other hand, is as clean as Monday's wash but, when irked, can become a virtual wild man. Dusette has long been seeking the match and this week Lillard told the self-styled Mr. America to take the match or get out of the area. Both supporting matches could rate main event billing if not overshadowed by the Atlas Dusette thing.

They were on opposite sides in last week's team match and can be expected to resume where they left off in the hectic battle.

Feb. 22 (U.R) Branch Rickey, the shrewd, bushy-browed boss of the Brooklyn Dodgers, today struck back at charges that he paid "coolie wages," claiming that his team is as high-salaried as any In baseball. In announcing the signings oi Pitchers Preacher Roe, the club's ace left-hander, and Clem La bine, rookie right-hander, Rick ey disclosed that his 1950 team win be the highest paia in Brooklyn history and cited two arguments in defense of his sal ary policies. No Holdouts Cited The 67-ycar-old Rickey said that since he became president of the Dodgers in 1943, the club never had a holdout and never cut a player's salary until this season. Rickey admitted, however, that two players were asked to take pay cuts for 1950 and that one of them probably would be come the Dodgers' first serious holdout in eight seasons. He did not identify the play ers, but the two offered pay slashes were believed to be Catcher Bruce Edwards and Pitcher Rex Barney. And since Edwards came to term's yester day along with outfielder Carl Furillo, the lone recalcitrant appeared to be Barney, Douglas County Cagers Tourney Roseburg, Ore., Feb. 22 !U.R) The Douglas division district five basketball tournament opened here last night with Siuslaw winning 54-13 over Myrtle Creek and Reedsport downing Suther lin 56-40.
