Central Point, Feb. 24 Cen
tral Point high's basketball team
probably will have its "ups and
downs" this week-end with a vic
tory quite possible Saturday
night but a defeat a probable
mark for tonight's game.
The Pointers coached by Cecil
Warner meet the powerful and
undefeated (In conference dis
trict games) Grants Pass high on
the Central Point high floor
about 8:15 tonight following a
preliminary slated for 6:45 p.m.
Saturday over at Cave Junc
tion the CP. quintet is expected
to have little trouble in mowing
down a weak Illinois Valley
(Kerby) team in a Southern Ore
gon conference - district 4 - JDJ
league game. 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

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.
Church Cagers To Play

Final games of the regular sea

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." Mace said.
