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.

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

It there are any skeptics In

match between Kobin Reed and
Sam Koluatne step over to th
Legion hall Monday night and
view th highly decorated belt
carrying th story of Reed' up
ward tight from th amateur
rank to th foremost position
In th welterweight wrestling
division. Th climb wa a diffi
cult one, and th ex-Olympic
games champion won't give up
his honors to th Detrolter with
out a scrap.
Reed has everything to loa In
th bout Monday, and Romain
has everything to win. It the
welterweight championship of
th world change handa at the
Legion hall, Klamath Falls will
hMfima m brief ranltnl lf fnr
th athletic world.
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.

match have been placed on sale
at the Waldorf, Mecca and
Smoke Shop. The ring has been
raised one foot, and it the ad

By defeating Stanford In two
games last Friday and Saturiy,
th Trojana ran their string of

and U. C. L. A. Brulna are the
only cage artlats In the southern
section who have not received a
drubbing from tbe men of Coach
Sam Barry. Tbe teama hav not

next Saturday.
The victories that put South

twice victorious over U. C. L. A.
The Bears appeared to hav hit
their stride, winning easily in tb

th Southerners In an overtime

at Stanford Saturday also waa an
overtlm affair, with the Trojans
finally registering a 11-14 Tie-!
