Agnostics Win
Saturday League
Basketball Toga
The Agnostics defeated the
Hornets 65 to 38 in a ?lay-off
game between the champions of
the Senior and Junior divisions
of the Saturday basketball
league.
The game was the climax of
the Saturday recreation program
at the senior high school gym.
Nine teams and a total of 83 boys
played during the season. The
program is planned for those
boys who do not play in the
regular high school basketball
games.
The Agnostics, champions of
the senior division, were too tall
and too experienced for the
scrappy Hornets in winning the
playoff game. Dick Barnard
scored 32 points for the Agnos
tics while Norman Chapman
led the Hornets with 13.

Fanfare
By DICK JEWETT
Mafl Tribsae Sports Editor
Rogue Valley . Country club
stands a good chance of being
picked as , site ; for the 1953
Oregon Golf association tour
nament, according to talk at the
Medford links. George Harring
ton and Dr. L. P. Walker will
go to Portland Friday to attend
the annual meeting of the OGA.
The 1953 and 1954 tourney site
selections are on the agenda.
Medford was OGA tourney site
in 1953. Rege Ott, Portland Golf
club, president of the OGA, was
a Medford visitor this week.
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. Station KWIN
is slated to air the Saturday

cation and tourney director.
Competition will begin one week

tinue through Saturday, March

Valsetz, winner of the 1951
tournament, has again entered

winner of last year's outstanding

total enrollment of only 39 stu
dents, 20 of them boys, has upset
many larger teams again this

The entry list is the greatest in
recent years, Bulkley said. Last
season only 10 schools partici
pated; there were 18 in 1950; 16
in 1949 and only 15 in 1948. De
spite interscholastic regulations
limiting teams to a 22-game sea

in this year's SOC tournament,
he commented.

60-SECOND TASTE TEST
Be your own whiskey expert !
. Have V4 oz. of Calvert
put in one glass and the
same amount of any
other whiskey in another
without knowing
which is which.
WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE the big difference in
whiskies . . . the difference in smoothness, mellow- ,
ness and freedom from bite. So we say compare
Calvert with any other whiskey and let your own
taste decide. , .
We're sure you will prefer Calvert Reserve, be
cause its taste is determined by folks like you who '
make oyer 50,000 taste tests a year.
..., But, after your own test, if you still prefer, an
