Raiders Topple E. 0. 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.

Optimistic
Tampa, Fla., March 1 lU.R)
Optimism swept through 16 ma
jor league camps today as spring
baseball training got under way
and the most confident man was
President Ford Frick of the Na
tional league, who predicted his
league will win "six of the next
10 world series."
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.

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.

Coach Clair Bee of LIU was

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. The Atlas will team with
Tough Tony Ross against
Georges Dusette and Pierre La-
Belle. 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.
Story Published
The Atlas, whose real name
is Morris Shapiro, claims to be
the greatest thing in wrestling
today and has published a seven-
page story wmcn tens wnat a
great man he is.
"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.

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. Chandler has
agreed to terms as coach for the
Rogues.
Whether this will mean de
finitely that there will be no
semi-pro baseball here was notj
certain today. Rumors flew I
around town this morning that
Rogue River might field a team
and also that several youths la
Medford would try to organize
one.
