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. Grants
Pass looked a bit weak against

Eagle Point, we thought, but they
rallied early enough to win.
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

Eagle Point, Mar. 23 The
scheduled practice baseball game
between Eagle Point and Central

A muddv field at the CamD
White site and possibility of

said.

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.
