DISAPPOINTING - Biggest disappointment of the basketball season here abouts was the failure of Me-J-ford high to take the Big Four basketball crown after head ing the loop much of the sea son. The double lots to Grants Pass, that spoiled pennant hopes, was particularly hard to take after Medford had won its sensational second deci sion over the towering Klam ath Falls Pelicans and ap peared a good bet to wind up on top. SERIES PREVENTED Medford's pair of losses to the Cavemen . also prevented the Crater Comet-Black Tornado se ries that we wanted so much to see. We had a bit of dope saved up, too, about the last time Med ford and a high school quint from Central Point met in a play-off for a state meet berth. We'll pass it along, anyway. That was back in 1928. Med ford won both games 56 -to 16 and 26 to 13. In the second fray Medford stalled the entire third quarter. Not a point was scored. An account of the con test said that Medford stalled because of the rough tactics in vogue and danger of injury to players. Among players for Med ford in that day were Virgil Swanson, Al Melvin, Bill Mor gan, Red McDonald, Bill Bow- erman and Bernie Hughes. Cen tral Point had Don Faber, Ed ward Bolds, Thereon Brown. Carl Coleman, George Elden and Howard Dietrich. TO BROADCAST SERIES Radio station KYJC will broadcast the Crater-Klam-ath Falls district basketball play-off game at Klamath on Friday night.
