EIGHT-lMEBrOXD (OHECXOK) MAIL THIBUKZ Wednesday. frtWF tt. IMS 'B Banter . By JACK JACKSON , MaaTribwMSfMMWritw Bonanza's Antlers bave copped the Klamath county title by roaring through a three -day tournament, but the big question now is "who do they play next?" Obviously they have to play Rogue River's Jackson county champs to decide the District 5B title. But, they may also have to go through the formality ,of de feating Paisley's Lake county "champions" also. The question comes up every year at this time to keep things confused until the last minute. Paisley, the only Class B school in Lake county, has the right to challenge, the Klamath titlists for the distinction, a rather doubtful one in the past, of meeting the Jackson county king-pins . for a state tourney berth. . Paisley many times in the past has waived this challenge right because its teams have not mea sured up to Klamath county standards. This year Paisley has dropped two lopsided decisions to Bly, a team which finished far off the pace in Klamath compe tition. So it can be reasonably supposed that the Lake county school will waive its challenge again this year, but the only way to find out is to wait and see. ALL-STAR CONTEST The Rogue River - Bonanza playoff s e r i!e s In Klamath county will be something of an all-star contest. Three Rogue River players. Jim Boulter, Jim Wehren and Ralph Milton, made the Jack son County B league all-star first five, and Bonanza placed three men, Irwin Crume, Don Hubble and Maurice Chandler, on the All-Klamath league quintet. "v PULLED A ROCK Speaking of all-star teams, we have the feeling that the Jackson county coaches "pulled a rock" in overlooking Larry Jolliffe of Butte Falls. If Butte Falls is able to finish out its schedule despite several postponed games, Jolliffe figures to be among the top 10 individual scorers in the league. Such an accomplishment surely rates some consideration. In ad dition, he has scored well against all opposition on a team that has yet to win its first game this sea son. The boy may not be up to first team mention, but we'd cer tainly rate him on our second string or honorable mention listing. MOVING TO "A" The other day we heard a pretty creditable rumor . that not only Phoenix but also Rogue River,- may be among - the missing - in the ranks of Jackson County B league schools come .next fall. Both are expected to move up to Class A and A2 rating at that time, or so the story goes. WIESKAMP IMPROVES One of the most improved players in Jackson County B league play this year was Tom Wieskamp, a starter at forward for St. Mary's of Medford all season. After transferring from Medford high school last year, Tom was ineligible under OSAA rules. This year, at the start of the season, he lacked experience and got by chiefly because of his size. However, as the season pro gressed, Wieskamp suddenly be came one of the most reliable scorers on the St. Mary's team. Even more important, by mid season he was one of the best backboard men in the league and was doubly valuable to his team because the Crusaders were woefully short of backboard strength. He capped the season by being named to the league's all-star second five. TAYLOR SCORES 44 With high individual scor ing the vogue among high school players throughout the stale we've done some rapid fixe checking back through the files to see what the top effort by a Jackson County B league player has been. While there is no guarantee that it's the all-time high, the files aren't that actuate, the best we've found was 44 pcints scored by Jacksonville Guard Junior Taylor against Prospect last night. Roosevelt- Takes Jayvee Diadem Roosevelt clinched the city grade school junior varsity, bas ketball pennant yesterday by de feating Lincoln 21 to 15. The Roosevelt crew is still un beaten in loop play. ' Second-place Jackson - which downed Washington 22 to 14 yes terday, has lost twice to Roose velt Jackson has completed its season while.

Boulter Big Gun Jim Boulter was the big gun in the Chieftain victory as he scored 25 points and dominated the backboards against the short er Talent team. Forward Byron Kile collected 14 points for Rogue River and Rollie Hartley matched that total for the Bull dogs. Rogue River out-tallied the Bulldogs, 13 to 5, in the open ing period and held at 25 to 14 advantage at the half. The Chief tains were in front by a 42 to 27 margin at the third quarter rest period.

Redskins 82, Prospect 40 Jacksonville Coach Ed Rooney's Jacksonville Redskins wound up their 1952 Jackson County B league basketball schedule here last night by de feating Prospect, 82 to 40, be hind a record breaking perform ance by Redskin Guard Junior Taylor. The five foot, eight inch guard pounded the hoop from all angles to collect 20 field goals and four free throws for a total of 44 points. Taylor hit 20 of 27 shots from the floor against Prospect for a shooting average of .741. League Titular Fracas To Be Saturday The Aanootics and the Hornets will vie Saturday at 1930 a m. at the senior high court for the basketball title of the Saturday recreation loop sponsored by the city school system. Last Saturday the Agnostics won the senior division diadem by thrahing the Comets M to 28. They ended division play un beaten while the loss was the first for the Comet. The Hornets copped the junior division with five wins and one loss. In a junior circuit finale last Saturday the Harlem Coons whipped the Bombers 46 to 16. The clubs are cellar companions. records are not complete, but Taylor's point total Is believed to be the highest ever scored in league competition. His 44 points boosted him from 21st to seventh place in the league in dividual scoring race. Skins Lead The Redskins led throughout the contest as they took a 21 to 10 advantage in the first quart er and were in front 39 to 18 at the half. Jacksonville stretch ed its lead to 62 to 33 at the third period break and out scored the Cougars, 20 to 7, in the final quarter. Although Taylor's efforts were the big show of the eve ning, Ron Craig of the Redskins also had a good night as he col lected 17 points to run his league total to 135.
