.3 4' 1 -4 DDOflGHD By HALE BCAHBHOUGH Basketball Playoff Last Friday's loss to the Med ford Tornado virtually cinches the number two slot in the Southern Oregon playoff for the Pelicans placing Medford indis ,,iv,iv on too and leaving Grants Pass and Ashland to bat tle It out xor posiuuiiB four. The urui- MrmK&3.xmm?s!i lies walloped l n e wciiich Friday night, so unless some thing unfor leen happens the loop will probably f i n ish, Medford, Klamath Falls, Ashland and Grants Pass. Ashland also holds one win over Klamath. The playoff C tilts are tentatively scheduled Jor February 22 ana Z3 at Asn- 8 ?and, and will probably go like I this: i Medford vs. Ashland and Klamath Falls vs. Grants Pass v, wi the oDenina round: the win- I ners of those games in the title i, match and the losers in a conso le lation battle. Therefore, although the Tor si nado already holds two victories . over the Pelicans, those games are just so much experience as far as relating to which outfit is E crowned conference champs. For the Pelicans to beat Grants I Pass and the Tornado to lick I Ashland in the opening round ap- a pears to be an odds-cm certainty. I setting up the Pelican-Tornado a ciasn for tne uue. That aspect of the playoff si v method of deciding the confer- I ence winner comes in for lot of kicking around, and justly so. , If one team goes through the season beatine every other team i in the loop from two to four r times, why risk losing the whole thing on an off night? That's the way the first-place t outfit is bound to feel. The sec- t ond, third and fourth place clubs always feel just the opposite, out- i voting tne cnamps three to one. In theory the team which has t knocked over all opposition all season ought to have smooth sailing in the tourney, but it $ doesn't always work out that fi way. Witness the scare Klamath t Falls gave Medford in the play- I off last year. It could happen again this year, although the two games between the Pelicans and I the Tornado so far have indi- I cated that the tall Medford bunch is just about 10 points I the better team.

But when the official score book was re-totalled, long after the specta tors had gone home. Coach Babe Brown announced something had gone haywire in additions, and the true score was 58-57 and the real winner was Montana. Despite the mixup, it was a hard-fought game, with the lead changing 15 times before the clincher. OPA Hasn't Hit Animal World Yet Frank B a s c o m, Dunsmuir pioneer, relates this story which he says happened recently in the mountains about five miles west of Dunsmuir: Kay. Sylvester of Weed, while on his way to his mining claim west of Dunsmuir, came upon two half-grown panthers. They were so busy playing together they paid no attention to him standing only 40 feet away. Since Sylvester was armed only with his prospector's pick not a very dependable weapon on a cougar hunt he was grate ful for the animals' lack of in terest in him. The panthers . were sleek and fat, in fine condition and ap parently not in need of food, he reports, causing Mr. Bascom, go ing butterless these days, to crack: "Evidently the OPA hasn't cracked down on their food ra tion yet!"

The offer of a flat $30,000 for Gus if he turns back Fox's chal lenge and $50,000 if Billy should take the bauble away from him was made last night after Billy flattened the veteran Nate Bold en in 49 seconds of the second round of what started out as a ten-round bout. Lesnevich's manager, little Joe Vella, said he was paying attention to the bid for a title tussle in Convention hall here in April simply because "the way that guy punches, it may be best if we take him on now in stead of waiting until he learns too much about boxing." The offer was made by Blinky Palermo. Fox's manager, and Matchmaker Pete Moran. Meantime, State Commission Chairman Leon Rains levelled the "quitting" charge at Bolden for the manner in which he climbed on his bicycle through the first round last, night al though bloodying Billy's nose with flicking jabs, and bowed out in the second after being hit with a right hand high- on the head, a considerable dis tance from the usually vulner able area around the chin.

Those four teams, the top quintets of the local loop, will play one quarter each against the Jesse Owens-led visitors. Since this is an extra game and not connected with the high school squad, season tickets will not be acoepted as admission to the tilt. As an added .attraction the Pelicans will play a prelimin ary game starting at 7 o'clock with an independent team from the Marine Barracks. The varsity Leatherneck team has been disbanded but at least four of the players who will tangle with the Pels were on the Marine number one squad. This will be the last chance for local enthusiasts to see the Pelicans in action this season as the K-men have no more home games scheduled this season.
