Panthers Go Ahead, 39 To 36 Chiloquin's Panthers pulled another close one out of the bag over at Mcriford last night, beating Rogue River 38 to 36 in the first game of the district 5 B league basketball playoff. It was the 23rd consecutive win for Coach Sandy Miller's sharpshooters, and the first loss of the season for the Rogues, who had won J 8 straight. The lead went to the Panthers early in the game to be held through the first half, then jockeyed back and forth several times in the second half until the final bell rang with the Panthers two points ahead. Gavlor Hatcher had 13 points for the Panthers and Gillis Han negan topped the scoring with 14. Davidson put in an even dozen for the Rogues. The two squads hook up in the second game of the playoff at Medford tonight.

In that event the finale will be r ayed in Klamath county, either M.-re in Klamath Falls or in Cliiloquin, next Saturday night.
