The Points must win Saturday to keep in the JDJ league honor race. C. P. Has Victory Central Point has won but one victory in Southern Oregon con ference games to date, that a ma jor upset when it defeated the Ashland Grizzlies. The Pointers still have a math ematical chance to win the JDJ league title but must defeat Illi nois Valley tomorrow. Eagle Point next week Tuesday and then down Illinois Valley at Cen tral Point in the season's finale on March 3, Tonight's game with the Cave men at Central Point is likely to find the Grants Pass quintet having two many reserves and acoring power for the Pointers. AttHas, The bubble of invincibility which has surrounded the Great Atlas since he first came here burst last night when Georges Duselte held the stll-siyied Mr. America to a draw In the main event of the weekly wrestling card at the armory. The match was a scorcher all the way with both men showing a lot of respect for each other and at the same time showing considerable dislike. The Atlas found Dusette a willing mixer, one who was willing and ready to exchange dirt for dirt. The French-Canadian fre quently used his dynamite-laden elbow smash to rock the New Yorker but when a fist called for a fist, that was what the Atlas received. Atlas Takes First The first fall went to the Great One afler 40 minutes and 30 seconds of gruelling grap pling, mixed with some fistic fighting. It was a toe hold which stopped the popular Dusette. Pierre LuHclle, another French-Cnnadinn wrestler, took over as Dusetle's second after the fall and during the ensuing ses sion, addressed advice to his cohort via the French language, much to the Atlas' disgust. Sixteen minutes and 10 sec onds later Dusette evened the score with a toe hold. For about half of the remaining 4 minutes and 20 seconds Dusette had the Atlas In another toe hold but he StauftVn iipan vour ore i a. y Ueetrompe 1 00(1 MOM roun DMtm SPECIFY STAUFFER a nam i J PARTY FOODS AND SPECIAL TREATS FOR SPECIAL DINNERS t?X?

Shop 124 South Central Murray Ball, Owner W 5 Med ford hlgh'i basketball team enters what in many ways is its most important week-end of the 1949-50 season when it takes on Grants Pass high Satur day on the Cavemen's floor after battling Eagle Point high's cag ers on the Eagles' gym floor this evening. The Black Tornado players and Coach Frank Roelandt would like nothing better than to pin a sharp defeat on the high riding Grants Pass team tomor row night. Eagles Tough at Horn Tonight the local youths may have more than a little trouble in taking the measure of the Eagles who are known to be rough customers when playing on their own gymnasium floor. Grants Pass found that out a few weeks ago and so did Klamath. On paper the Tornado should have little trouble in downing Eagle Point with the local con ference standing somewhat bet ter than that of the Eagles five. Medford looked about the best of the season when it walloped Eagle Point 67 to 39 earlier. This week the local youths have kept up their methodical, precise type of basketball that sets up plays and then depends on accuracy by the shooters to produce baskets. Tornado Grim Medford is grim and deter mined much as it was last fall when an injury-riddled football squad took on high-flying Grants Pass at the Cavemen's field and came within an ace of upsetting the favored eleven. The Tornado will close Its bas ketball season February 28 against Illinois Valley high at Cave Junction. unsetttfe managed to last until the bell rang to earn a draw. Although the near-capacity crowd almost to a man wanted to see a Dusette victory, they were just as willing to accept a draw. Gray Taki 2 Falls Tempers flew frequently in the aemi-windup when Karl Gray took two straight falls from Jack Lipscomb. The first came with a Boston crab and the sec ond by disqualification when Lipscomb refused to break a re verse headlock. LaBelle used a whip wrist lock to spill George Strickland after a dandy match opening the sizzling card. Ashland High To Play At Pels Gym Tonight; Saturday On Own Floor Ashland. Feb. 24 Ashland high will be out to cut another deep notch in Its opponents' dist rict title honors when the Griz zlies battle Klamath Falls in the Klamath gym tonight. Klamath currently is third while Ashland is fourth in conference-district standings. Neither has any chance of dis placing First Place Grants Pass but a win by Ashland could knock Klamath out of second place should third-place Medford defeat Eagle Point. Saturday evening the Grizzlies will take on Weed high on the Ashland floor.

Game In Oregon Survive Weather . Portland, Ore., Feb. 24 iU.R) Game generally survived the severe January wetaher in "good shape" in Oregon and there will be no need to close the hunting season this year, Robert Mace, chief biologist for the Oregon game commission, reported today. "If people could see the herds of deer on the ranges in Lake and Grant counties now, they wouldn't worrv about any short age," Mace said. Deer and elk in eastern Ore gon survived the snow and low temperatures particularly well. Mace said. The major problem was In the Tillamook burn.J where some deer concentrated in draws and died of malnutri tion or over-exposure in deep snow drifts. A total of 79 deer carcasses were found in Tillamook burn gullies "but the casualties were nly a small fraction of the total herd there."
