Illinois Valley 26 Large Atendance Anticipated for Boat Club Meet More than 150 valley boating enthusiasts are expected at the meeting March 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Medford YMCA to discuss plans for starting an outboard boating club, according to MSgt. Elzy Kees Jr., This movement is in line with the trend throughout the coun try toward small boating clubs. It has been brought about by a tremendously increased interest in boating, and by feeling that outboard boating has reached a maturity requiring organized ac tion for its advancement and pro tection, the sergeant pointed out. "There are more than 1,000 people in this community who are boating enthusiasts, and it is our desire to bring them together into a club devoted to our com- : mon interests," Sergeant Kees said. Election Slated First meeting will be held to discuss organization and to elect officers and committee chair men. Future meetings will cover planned programs and entertain ment. Once organized, the club would promote water safety and courtesy of the out-of-doors, bet ter dock and landing facilities for small boats, better fishing in more places, water skiing and other boating programs. "When individuals have as much wholesome fun on the water as outboard boaters do," said Sergeant Kees, "they ought to get together and share their fun with others. Legislation is often passed which limits the public's enjoyment of the out-of-doors. We believe that as a closely knit organization we can speak up for the type of regula tion that will make outboard boating a universally liked form of outdoor recreation in this country." Hewitt Chosen Archer President Roy Hewitt is the new presi dent of the Rogue Archers. Other officers named by the bowmen club are Harold Willis, vice-president, and Herb Gifford, secretary-treasurer. Members were to go to Klam ath Falls today to compete with the Klamath Archers. The Rogue club meets on Thursday evenings at its indoor I range over Paulsen's Thrift mar- I ket at Central Point.

All of Greb's points were on field shots. Foran collected 12 counters on free throws. Six points was the top scor ing effort by a Hornet hoopman, Ted Blofsky. Jim Herringshaw and J. Marler each had that many. Phoenix had quarterly gaps of 12 to 9, 24 to 11 and 34 .to 14 at the IV quint faded after put ting up a good first quarter bat tle and put only a field goal, by Larry Preston, in the second quarter, and a field bucket and free shot in the third canto. Scoring was well distributed on both clubs. Jim James topped Phoenix with nine and was fol lowed by Stout and Gary Sim monds each with eight. Preston had seven for Illinois Valley. Phoenix Leads By Widest Phoenix spread was 22 points at 36 to 14 and 44 to 22. While the Pirates found the Cougars tough on defense at start and a bit tough under the backboards, they were able to get their 16 field goals with a variety of shots. They took com plete command in the second period. Coach Jack Woodward had seven players in the action. Both Eagle Point and Henley were cold at the start and yield ed a good number of offensive backboard rebounds to each other. But the tide turned as the Eagles began to get their share of retrieves after missing shots and EP successfully met the full court pressing tactics of the Hornets. The Henley press was most evident in the third chukker in i.rhinh tho TTairlpc tnnk advantage to outscore the Klamath club 19 to 8 and go beyond reach ot their opponents. Botli mentors. Art Thomnsnn nf EP. and Al Fairchild, of Henley, substituted freely after the trend of tne con test was established, each send ing 12 men into the tussle.

UCLA Knots for 1st in PCC By Downing Eugent (U.R) UCLA climbed back into a first place tie with California for the Pacific Coast Conference basketball leader ship Friday night as the Bruins stormed to an 81-62 win over hapless Oregon. California was dumped by Washington, 70-57. Oregon held the lead only once and stood even with UCLA tiiree times before the Bruins rolled into an early 15-9 lead. From there on UCLA was never headed. The Ducks managed to threat en midway through the second half when they narrowed the margin to four points at 50-46 with 11:39 left in the game. But UCLA caught fire as suddenly as Oregon had crept up, and once again surged to the fore.

After the third early game tie, UCLA moved into a substantial lead that never dwindled to less than nine points in the first half and held a 38-39 intermission margin.
