Softball Meet Monday
Night At Chamber of

Prospective sponsors and team
captains of Softball teams in
Medford will have a chance to
prove how much interest there
Is among players and sponsors
when a meeting of the local soft
ball association Is held Monday
at 8 p.m. at the chamber of corn
It is understood via the grape
vine that three and possibly four
teams that played last year will
not take part in the kittcnball
sport in 1050. This might bring
the number of teams in a pro
posed league to six or less.
Three Teams Leave
Hunter's Drug store definitely
will not have a team or at least
not one under that name for that
business has been sold since last
season. Andy's Jewelry store is
believed to have stepped out and
the Western Electric team no
longer is in existence here.
Monday's meeting at the C of
C office will be devoted largely
to seeing how much interest
there is among sponsors and
teams, electing association offi-

cers and planning a 1950 sched
ule if there is enough interest.
It was hoped by many fans
and players that a Softball dia
mond would be available in the
new city park along Bear creek
for this season but it was still
indefinite Saturday whether lo
cal games could be played there.
Night Games Tough
One officer of the association
pointed out Saturday that it
would probably be impossible
for a four- or six-team league to
make a financial success out of
games played under the lights.
He suggested twilight games at
the new park.
District Softball Commissioner
Sam Jennings told the Mail
Tribune that interest in Softball
over some parts of the state had
shown an increase over recent
seasons.
Sponsors Urged Attend
President Bill Catey of the
local association urged all pros
pective sponsors and team cap
tains or proposed team captains
to attend Monday's meeting.
He pointed out tha. only by
the size of attendance at this ses
sion can officers and those inter
ested in Softball tell whether
there are enough plnyers and
teams to make a league possible.

The Chieftains from Rogue
River entered the final round.

Statistics
Some rather Interesting and
pointed statistics on the Medford
senior nigh varsity oasKetoaii
sauad were revealed Saturday
by Coach Frank Roclandt'as he
"closed the books" on a season
that saw the Black Tornado aver
age 45.434 points per game
played.
While Medford was garnering
an average of better than 43
points per game its opponents
could sink but 33.17 point aver
age. At the same time the Tor
nado had a percentage of .521 of
its foul shots made.
The local boys also compiled
a .369 percentage in all shots
tried over the entire season ex
cluding the two Shasta high
games from which statistics are
not available.
Best Averages Cited
As one would expect the best
averages in both free throws and
total shots were made with but
one or two exceptions, in games
in which the Tornado won, and
usually by a good margin.
For instance in the game
against Central Point which
Medford won 67 to 32, the Tor
nado tallied more than half its
free throws and had a .611 aver
age in all shots tried. ,
Against the bO(J rrosn Med
ford had a .479 percentage in
foul shots and a .500 percentage
in all those attempted, ihe tor
nado won this game 50 to 38.
Theory Breaks Down
Portland Loses Brief
Exhibition To Padres
Ontario. Cal.. Mar. 11 J.P
A cold wind halted an exhibition
game between Portland and San
Diego after five innings with the
Padres winning, 2 to 0.
The win gave the Padres a 3-3
record for the exhibition season.

manship for Drain. After taking
a 23 to 13 lead at the half, Rogue
River was threatened momen
tarily when Drain spurted up to
30 to 28 mostly on the strength
of baskets fired by Guard Bob
Cellers.
Rogue River built up its mar
gin again late in the second half
and won going away.
Monmouth defeated Condon 51
to 28 and Prairie City beat Union
48 to 37 in the consolation round.

Revealed Here
However, this theory that If
one does well in these depart
ments (.350 or better in fouls
and .400 or so overall) a team
will win did not show up when
the Tornado played Marshfield
and had a .650 overall but only
a .260 on free throw attempts.

work well either for Medford

shots and .565 overall.

UCLA Takes
60-53 Game
Last Second
Los Angeles, Mar. 11 (U.R)
The fighting UCLA Bruins, given
a 60 to 58 victory on a sensa
tional last-second field goal, go
after a second and final win to
night against Washington State
in their quest for the Pacific
Coast conference basketball
crown.
A victory tonight would give
UCLA the first PCC title in its
history. Should Washington
State win, however, the teams
would meet Monday in the final
and deciding game of the best-df-three
series.
Forward Ralph Joeckel, re
cently demoted from the Bru
ins' starting five, was the hero
of Friday night's clash. With the
score knotted at 58-all and only
seconds to play, he' recovered a
rebound and started down the
floor.
Glances At Clock
Glancing at the clock, Joeckel
look one more step and arched
a desperation shot 60 feet away
from the basket. The ball
bounced uncertainly on the bas
ket rim, then rippled through the
net just as the game ended.
UCLA players and fans alike
swarmed on the Wcstwood gym
nasium floor to congratulate the
21-year-old engineering major,
who about three weeks ago was
replaced on the starting five by
Sophomore Jerry Norman.
Jocckcl's basket was a fitting
climax to one of the most excit
ing games in PCC playoff his
tory. UCLA held a 30 to 25 lead
at the intermission, but the Cou
gars tied it up at 43-all eight
minutes into the second half.
From that point on it was any
body's ball game, with the teams
never more than three points
apart.
