rAUE TWO THE EVENING HERALD. KLAMATH FAUS. OREGON January 18, 1932 City Hoop League Muddles On Enthusiasm among Di rector at the Start of the Season Drop Down After Two Week of Plays Em mons to Leavet World Record Hold or Play for Henley. By J OK I'HiNKY The city bssksiball leagu. producing some excellent players end Interestlnt con tests, "muddles through" th early wees of 1U schedule despite the trivial "civil wan" running adjacent to I he rank of Its member and directors. Tbl Is the second year of lit fur the conference, but If It wends Its way across two double headers as It has don In the past tb whole organ (ration will be fortunate to finish the schedule In a satis factory manner. s Tb league, eager for pub licity In tbe Klamath Kail newspapers, selected a press gent when the conference or ganised, sereral weeks ago. The publicity man waa right on tbe job for time, and then he disappeared. Halt a doten members of tb confer ence took It upon themselves to see the public was properly Informed of the activities of the basketball race. Mwt of these gentlemen were aold on the excellency of their Indi vidual outfits, bene prejudice. The teams who forgo; to do their own ballyhooing decided something was wrong mayb they were right. s e But the leagu Saturday promised to behave itself In a more congenial manner. A new "contact" man wa elect ed with promises to give every member of tbe loop a "aquar deal." There Is only on sugges tion to this league: Play bas ketball first and confine un pleasant talk within the lim its of the meeting of directors. Tb sport Is for tb amuse ment of the players and tb public, not tbe medium for expression of 111 feelings. Tb city league will lose on of the best basketball players, Keith Emmons, in the state when this young man Is transferred by his company to Kelso. Wash. Emmons was on of tb finest prep-school stars in Oregon, and then be came a leading contender of a forward position on tb TJnt Terslty of Oregon team. In juries and eligibility rule fol ' lowed him through college, and prevented his becoming on of the big-time perform er of the northwest. On of tb most brilliant track athlete In tb country has signed with the Henley team. This wa Ralph Hill, holder of world' Intercollegi ate mile record. Hill, while making no exaggerated pre tensions toward basketball ability, has bolstered the Hen ley quintet with his work as a guard. Hill won the world mile rec ord in Eugene two year ago by conquering the great Rufus Klser, University of Washing ton, In the most spectacular run ever staged on Hayward field the same Hayward field over whose cinder path tbe most brilliant track and field men In tbe northwest bar competed. Hill chose hi own race that windless Ma day, and dogged the Washington title-holder until the last 220-stretch. The ex-Oregon man then pulled out In front and finished sev ers! yards ahead of his van quished rival. Klser collapsed at the tape, and then cam back to defeat Hill In two more meets that year. But Hill's Eugene record still stand and It may be a long time before another miler is developed equal to him. Hill has ambitions to enter the Olympic games at Lo An geles this summer. e Oregon Stat supporters In the Klamath region complain the Orange don't get an even break with Oregon on the ports pages. It is an old cry. First It comes from th Webfoot fan and then from the Bearers. e e Oregon Stat has produced some of the most tantallilngly Interesting basketball teams on the coast, and has fallen hort of championships only by one or two games. Bob Hager, ex-Oregon Stat basketball coach who preceded "Slats" Gill, Invented a "per centage" system of play that for a time crossed the coun try. Gill still uses that style in a nodifled wsy. It Is tan talising because Its offensive breaka take such an Indefi nite time to get under way. The system Is almost exclu sively a son play, both at tacking and defending. Often It becomes slow and tedious, for It Is built around the old athletic maxim, "wait for the breaks." Oregon and Oregon State offer two extreme contrasts In basketball play on the coast. The Webfoot system used by Bill Relnhart breaks swiftly In a short-paaslng, swiftly mov- Red Ball Stage Line One Stage Daily for Lakeview, Oregon Terminal Stage Depot 830 Klamath PHONE 899 Uavi K.

Herb Owen, watchmaker, was In town Monday and announced that Ray Frisbl of Medtord will referee the program. "All the boys on th card are speedy, clever, and know wrest ling thoroughly. Robtn Reed Is perhaps one of tbe fastest men to ever enter the ring," wrote Owen. Art O'Reilly, University of Oregon student, will drop his studies in Eugene for the trip to Klamath Falls to meet Curly Dutton. O'Reilly Is a young man of contrasts. In the ring he be comes fierce as a tiger, yet at the university his studies ar de voted to art and architecture. Pet Becker, boxer-wrestler, and on of the cleverest ringmen ever to fight here, will put on his first wrestling exhibition against Jimmy King of Wiscon sin. Becker, hoping to mak a permanent home in Klamath Falls, has become determined on victory simply because he must win to become a lasting attrac tion. If Becker's cleverness on the mat equals his boxing abili ty, the odds will be In his favor for th (eml-wlndup.
