MEDFORDdiTRIBUKB Once again it has been proven In athletic endeavor that south ern Oregon schools produce some of the top sports talent Oregon puts out each year. Grants Pass high, which some observers in that city expected to do little more than give Med ford and Klamath a rough bat tle for district honors, pulled through to be runner-up in the state high school A cage tourney. The Chieftains of Rogue River high school found little trouble in capturing the state B school basketball title also. Probably the biggest factor in making southern Oregon athletic teams into champions or near champions is the) tough competition they face in their own district. A team just will not produce at its best when its opponents are comparative ly weak. The Cavemen under Coach Hank Anderson certainly looked like the proverbial "world-beaters" when they played Medford although the Tornado lost by but three points one time.

It is our opinion that the fact Grants Pass could use a kind of "platoon" system by inserting separate teams any time it wish ed without losing offensive and defensive power, was its ulti mate downfall against Salem. The weakness in that type of playing, we think, is that a coach often does not have one or two unusually good youths that he can put in when points are needed. The Cavemen seemed to be in that boat for their scoring power in the championship game certainty was lacKing. True, Grants Pass probably was tight and nervous and that counted against It. The Cave men had been a high scoring outfit all season but usually the point-making was evenly divided among the first eight or 10 who played. And speaking of Grants Pass ana Kogue Kiver, wnat ever nap pened to that idea of having a game between these two out standing high 'school basketball teams of the state? Several weeks ago fans in Rogue River tried to get such a game scheduled but financial difficulties stopped the plan. The teams could not agree on now xo divide the expenses and any pro fit and they were not able to de cide on a site. How about staging the game as a post-season affair in either Eagie Point's gym or at Med ford as neutral floors with the proceeds after expenses going to the Red Cross drive? Softball possibilities seem to be taking a turn for the better in Medford with this corner's re cent statement that there might not be a Softball league in Med ford this summer, bringing out more potential sponsors and players than had been expected earlier. There are still many things tp iron out before the Kiuenbau sport is definite but the picture is not as dark as it was. Chances are that Medford will have a leaeue of four to six teams with games being played as twilight affairs rather than under tne floodlights. Eagles Game Friday 'Out' Eagle Point, Mar. 23 The scheduled practice baseball game between Eagle Point and Central Point high schools Friday after noon at the Camp White Veter ans center Held was postponed to next Tuesday afternoon at 3:30, Coach "Shy" callaghan said today. A muddv field at the CamD White site and possibility of more rain Detween now ana xne scheduled game tomorrow brought about postponement, he said. Eagle Point will open its J-D-J league season at the Camp White field on Saturday, April 8 against Sutherlin. The Eagles will play a Southern Oregon conference ?ame against Medford at Med ord's field Friday afternoon, March 31. Hockey By United Press Los Angeles Monarch and New Westminster scored narrow one-point victories last night both in "sudden deatn overtime periods of Pacific Coast Hockey league playoff games. In a southern division contest, the Monarch downed the San Francisco Shamrocks 4 to 3 on Sam Kennedy's quick goal just 23 seconds after the overtime period opened. Up north, it took New West minster more than 10 minutes in an overtime period to finally down the Seattle Ironmen 3 to 2.

PINT Small Supplement To Welfare Funds Received Locally A small supplemental budget for the year 1949-50 ending in June, for aid to dependent chil dren and old age assistance has been granted the Jackson coun ty public welfare department by the state public welfare depart ment, according to reports giv en at the monthly meeting of the commission held this week. The sum allowed was $18,855 for aid to dependent children, and $5,798 for old age assistance. A supplemental allotment of $3,128 for general assistance was not approved because of the ob jections of the Jackson county court, it was said. The court stated that the sum would run the county over the approved budget for public welfare. Standards Increased The administrator stressed that the supplemental funds were necessary because of raised welfare standards which went into effect throughout the state in December due to a new Ore gon law. It was also pointed out that even with the addition of these funds, the total approved budget for the year is less than what was first requested last year for the fiscal year of 1949 50. The state denied the first re quested budget, saying insuffic ient funds were available at that time. Commissioner L. G. Morth land during the discussion made it clear that he questions the policies of the public welfare de partment as far as general as sistance is concerned, saying at one time that the state should be made to carry the entire bur den of general assistance. Assistance Up Monthly reports showed old age assistance for February totaled $58,559 for 1.076 cases, as compared to $44,034 for 922 cases in February of the preced ing year. General assistance totaled $17,047 for 285 cases, an increase over both the preceding month and the same month for 1949. January totaled $13,451 for 263 cases. Twenty-six children were cared for in foster homes at a cost of $1,073, and aid to depend ent children for February totaled $14,800 for 388 children. Aid to the blind was $622 for 11 cases.
