o Eagle Point Winner Over Jacksonville Eagle .Point Eagle Point high cagers will try to make it two straight over the Jackson ville RedskinsQonight when the clubs clash at Jacksonville. The Eagles bounced the Red skins 47 to 31 here last night. In taking the decision Eagle Point never trailed in the eve ning. The home club went 6n top to stay in the early moments !d head( 8 to 4, 21 to 11 nd 33 to 21. It was a contest between two green clubs and the inex perience showed. But there was evidence that both should im prove as the season progresses. "Redskins Ballhawk Te Redskins broke up the Eagle passing attack with some Ggood ballhawking particularly in the early stages of the tussle and would have made a closer game of it had they had some sharper shooting. But the Eagles, (for their part, yielded few close inPshots and gave Jacksonville few good tries until the final portion of the game when the lead was to wide to overcome. V-And the Eagle Pointers were Oable to work the ball in for a number of good opportunities at fairly short range. Gary Foran, whose favorite firing spot was from the side at about 10-foot range, was the only scorer in double figures with 12. Eagle Point lead wis squeez ed to 8 to 6 fthe opening of the second quarter but the home quint established control by working to a couple of 12-point margins before halftime. The spread was 13 points three times in the third quarter and the widest gap was 20 points at 41 to(Jl in the final panel. lINE-UP.Si . .

Mail Tribune. Fleishman said something may develop along those lines at a league meeting .! in Yakima Sunday but so far ' his office has received no hint that the league's largest city wfjld quit. WOULD STOP MEDFORD Such action by any of the : seven teams in the league would automatically eliminate I Medford's possibility of gain ing a berth this year, it was pointed put here. Medford was InrKed - to make it an . eight-team league. If one team dropped out and Medford came in. the circuit would again be a seven-team organi sation, which is not satisfac- Jory to sound operation, it was pointed out. Response to a partnership plan to finance operation of a ' Medford entry was meeting with "very limited" accent- ance today, but the backers had hopes thai sufficient in terest would be shown in the next couple of days to assure MedfoSl's entry.
