at the school. This year's Mid
west harrier run was held at

It's good to see that the move
is now underway, to get the Med
ford Independent Basketball
League organized for another
year. We hope to see a good
turnout at the meeting Wednes
day, November 24, at 8 p. m.
at the Medford Armory. Every
year there's the temptation to
hang back . until - officers are
elected and until someone else
inherits the - work and then to
want in the league. That's
neither a fair nor efficient way
to organize if harmony is to be
achieved . for the season. All
teams which intend to compete
should be represented at Wednes
day s first meeting of the season.
OLD MAN'S CIRCUIT ' '
Fellows who feel that their
really active playing, days are
over or- that they've slowed
down too much for the Med

ings concerning the method of

must be members of the re
spective Conferences.
... "2. The Pacific Coast Con
ference votes for its represen
tative on the basis of it's
most representative team.' The
team which receives a major
ity of the nine votes cast is
the representative, regardless
of the number or nature of its
wins or losses during the sea
son. x v
"3. In the case of a tie Vote
for first place in the Pacific
Coast Conference, the team (or ..
teams) most recently in the
Rose Bowl is (are) excluded
and the other tied team auto
matically selected. (Note
this formula applies . only' to
breaking a tie vote; it does
not apply to ties in final Con
ference standings. .' '
: "4. Under the current con
tract no team from either Con- -f
erence can appear in the Rose
Bowl two years in succession. '
UCLA and Michigan State are
not eligible for the January 2.
