C; Play Ashland Tonight 80C and Oregon College of Education will conclude their two-game Oregon Inlercollo g i a t e conference basketball eriei tonight on the Red Raid an' gym floor starting about 1:30 after prelims between two teams entered in the SOC Invitational tournament. Ashland, March 1 Southern Oregon college's high-flying bas ketball team settled all questions of whether It would go to the district 2 playoffs for the Na tional association of Intercolle giate Basketball when it de feated OCE here last night 82 to 53. The Raiders together with Portland U Willamette U. and Northern Idaho college will take part in the district playoffs at the Portland Ice arena March 6 and 7. Winner of thus single elimination tourney will go to the national tournament at Kan sas City. Last night's Oregon Collegi ate conference game at the SOC gym before a small crowd was one of the roughest of the sea son as both quintets fought hard to pull off a victory. Up until about the last three minutes of the contest the win could have gone either way with the score tied seven times in the first half and three times in the final half. Except for once or twice for each team neither quin tet led by more than three points. At one point late in the first half OCE led by five points and also again about midway in the last half but that was the most margin the Monmouth quintet could garner. SOC Boosts Lead The Raiders on the other hand could do no better until nearly 16 minutes had been played in the last half when SOC boosted its lead to 51 to 46 and from then on gradually pulled away from the Oregon college quintet. ' Losing four or five key play- era on five personal fouls in the closing three minutes of the game hurt the visitors much and also helped SOC in boosting its win margin. As a matter of fact both teams became cautious late in the game when players had four fouls.

There was no mistaking the higft feeling with which every team was starting its 1950 op erations, for all 16 managers were talking "first division" and quite a few of them "maybe a pennant. But Frick, coming here to vis It the five teams from his loop based in this state, said he was not letting his feelings run away with him in his prediction of triumph over the American league. "The time has come for us to start getting even and the evi dence is very strong that we will, he argued. Honolulu.

Green Stamps Eagle Point, Mar. 1 Eagle Point high today possessed the Jackson Douglas - Josephine league basketball diadem. The kaglea last night shaded Central Point 47 to 45 here to complete their schedule in the circuit indefinitely. A Central Point win would have given the two quints a championship tie with a loss apiece. It was a third quarter spree spurred by Dick Mulhollcn that put the fcagles on top to stay, up to that time the fives had battled neck and neck with Central Point heading 12 to 11 at the first quarter and 21 to 20 at the hnir. Long Shots Count Long one-handers from the deep right mostly were Mulhon len's contribution in the third stanza. He put Eagle Point in front 22 to 21 after 45 seconds of the period. Merle An horn made it 23 to 22 for Central Point a half minute later. Bob Doherty of the Eagles knotted the score with a foul toss. An- horn struck again but Mulhol lcn hit to tie the count 25 to 25. Cahail gave Eagle Point a 27 to 25 lead at the four minute mark. Then Mulhollcn tallied three consecutive one handers to make a 33 to 25 bulge. The Eagles' third quarter margin was 36 to 20. In the fourth quarter, after the Eagles gained a 40 to 31 stretch, Central Point began to climb. The Pointers sliced the deficit to 42 to 37 by the automatic breather. Two foul tosses by Herb Colley and a field goal by Frank Meadows narrowed the Eagle lead to 42 to 41. LeRoy Seibert stretched the Eagles to 44 to 41 but Herb Trautrr"n of Central Point coun tered for 44 to 43 at the six minute mark. Lloyd made it 46 to 43 for Eagle Point 45 sec onds later and with only 10 seconds left in the game Colley cut the edge to 46 to 45. Hale sank a free toss with three sec onds remaining for the Eagles' final marker. After the first quarter the fight got rough in spots and oc casionally threatened to get out of hand with both teams aiming at victory in the crucial encoun ter. Backed by the cheers of the home crowd the Eagles put on an inspired performance sparked by the accurate shooting of Mul hollen and Pat Simmons. Games Slated Friday It will be an anti-climax for both quints Friday when Eagle Point goes to urants fass tor a Southern Oregon conference game and Central Point enter tains Illinois Valley of the JD.l leaeue at home. The games will end the season' for the Eagles and Pointers. Central Point salvaged the jayvee game 33 to 29.

Colley a Hamline Vs. Long Island New York, March 1 (U.R) The winner of tomorrow night's Long Island university-Hnniliiie basketball game at Madison Square Garden if there is a game, that is was almost cer tain today to get a hid to the National Invitation Basketball tournament. That "if" Is a big one. Coach Clair Bee of LIU was muttering today that the whole thing may not come off if Ham line insists on using freshman players in Its lineup. And Ham line Coach Joe Hutton was in sisting on using the frosh. Seems that freshmen are eli gible to play on the varsity in Hamline'j home stamping grounds, while they must wail until they're sophs around here.

Belcastro Eyes Bout With Atlas Promoter Mack Lillard today announced that he has received word from Pete Belcastro, once known in the wrestling ring as the Weed Assassin, that he is in serious training and is contem plating a return to professional grappling. Liilard said that Belcastro told him that he would welcome a chance at the Great Atlas, who is slated for action in a tag 'team battle at the armory tomorrow night.

Belcastro said he would be at ringside to see the New Yorker in action if he could get away from his dairy business in Weed early enough to make the trip.

"I have had so many requests for my life story tnat 1 nave or dered several thousand copies which will be off the press in a few weeks. Another publication in the series will describe my strong-man feats and will tell how to become a strong man," the vain Atlas says. Dusette and LaBelle aren't so impressed by the greatness of the Atlas and will go all out to morrow night to uphold their claims. Tough Partnership The Atlas-Ross combo is ex pected to be a rugged partner ship and the smooth-working Frenchmen will have their hands full if they hope to come out on top. The 8:30 p.m. opener will send Lee Grable against Karl Gray. Grable was injured over a month ago and his physician said he expected him to be able to keep the Medford date.

While the final score would indicate the Talent vs. Coos Riv er Indians game was close, the free substitutions by Coach George Bray helped the coast quintet to narrow the margin after Talent had almost run awav with the game. The Bulldogs led at the first quarter 15 to 4, at the half 31 to 17 and at the third quarter 41 to 24.

No Semi-Pro Baseball In City In 1950 Formal announcement was made today that Medford will not have a semi-pro baseball team this year and that last sea son's manager of the Medford Craters of the semi-pro Southern Oregon league has been named coach of the Medford Rogues of the Far West league. It also was learned a year late that the Medford Athletic as sociation had been disbanded. This long-time local group up to last season had sponsored the Craters. Last year a Central Point lum ber company sponsored the Craters but this year no money could be raised to make a semi pro nine possible, Playing-man-ager Tex Chandler of the 1949 Craters reported.
