Basin Cage League Shaping
Br HALE 8CARBR0UGH
The much - discussed ' Basin
Basketball league, burled for
four years during the war, had
a breath o life blown into it
last night 'and -there is a good
chance that the loot) will get
Into operation shortly alter
Christmas.
Representatives of several
teams already formed and In
the process of being formed
met last night in the council
rooms of the city hall to make
plans for the league's resurrec
tion. Teams on the probable list
Include at least one and maybe
two from Tulolako, one each
from Chlloquin, Henley, Bon
anza, Malin, Merrill and the
Latter Day Saint's church here,
and a number of other business
teams may possibly be formed
in Klamath Falls after a little
work by the league backers.
The biggest problem before'
the conclave last night was the
selection of a league leader,
someone to put the motivating
power into the loop and get the
ball rolling. Finally a general
plan of having a three-man com
mittee locate a man to head the
sporting enterprise and to lo
cate a contact man connected
with each team was decided
upon. The leader may 1 be se
lected today,
i Playing space was another
problem discussed. There is a
good chance that the KUHS
gym will be used for most of
the games here if the schedule
does not interfere with the
schedules of the Victory league
and high school games, and the
Marine Barracks gym may also
be used.
Floors in Malln, Chlloquin,
Tulelake and other towns put
ting up teams can also be used.
. A $25 entrance fee will be
assessed each team, this money
going to pay for courts, of
ficials and other game expenses.
Sponsors of the aulntcts would
equip the teams.
That fee was based on eight
to 10 games. The pre-war basin
loop fee was $10, but as many
as 16-22 squads were in play.
A great many men who
played in the pre-war league
are back from the service now
and many have shown an inter
est in reviving the competition.
There is a great need for recrea
tion facilities for the out-of-school
young men here and the
smaller towns are highly inter
ested in being included In the
loop because of the lack of
other sports in those localities.
The out-of-town competition
is expected to arouse more spirit
in the league play than purely
local competition would.
Any players, coaches, officials
or sponsors interested in the
new loop may contact E. E.
Hambrick at (lie city hall. His
office at present is being used
as a clearing house for the Basin
league until a leader is found.'

Head-Cracking Duo Pacing
All-Star Grapple Lineup
The return showing of the
Grey Mask-Rough Ruf us Jones
scrap for the head-cracking
laurels of local mat circles takes
the stage as the main event of
tonight's armory grapple card,
following preliminaries pitting
Angelo Martinelli against Ben
Sherman and Pete Belcastro
against Herbie Parks. .
The Martinelli-Sherman af
fair is scheduled for four ten
minute rounds, and is sure to be
a lively scrap between two of
the most exuberant musclers on
the circuit. ,
A five-canto Belcastro-ParksJ
matcn ngures to be nearly as fast
as. the opener. Old Pete, despite
his years of mat warfare, goes
about his mauling with the en
thusiasm of a youngster and
Parks, with fewer summers to
his- credit, is a nimble and ac
complished grappler.
Herb prefers to keep his work
clean but doesn't object to fol
lowing his opponent's lead in
roughing it up. And with the
Weed Assassin in the ring there's
very little chance that the fight
will stay clean much after the
first canto.
The Jones versus Hood scuffle
doesn't have a chance to be clean
after the first gong. Those boys
don't recognize that there is such
a thing in the mat sport, so their
