Games Considered
In 'Crucial' Class
The first meeting of the current
biiskolbnll season is arranged tonight
1x1, veil the Klamath Falls Pell-
cms and the Medford Black Tor
r..uto. before an expected turn-away
c oil at the local lush school court.
Game time is 8 o'clock or shortly
thereafter.
A preliminary tilt putting the jun
ior varsity outfits of both schools
on the floor is scheduled to start
at 7 p. ni.
A clean sweep of this Medford
s.-1-.is two games would put the
Pelicans in a most favorable light
to continue to dominate the district
4 basketball race, and a double win
is cielinitrly In the plans of Coach
Wayne Scott and his boys. The Tor
nado outfit probably is entertain
ing the same notions for its side.
However, as matters now stand,
the Pels hold two wins and no losses
in conference play, while the
Medford team was defeated closely
by Ashland in two league games.
Those Ashland - Medford scores
were 39-37 (overtime! and 49-45.
PROTEST WITHDRAWN
There was some discussion of a
protest of the first game by the
Tornado, but an Ashland report says
that the protest was withdrawn
when it became apparent that
nothing would be done about It be
cause full overtime periods and not
a "sudden death" finish was agreed
upon in advance.
The Grants Pass Cavemen play
tonight at Ashland and the Oriszlies
return the compliment tomorrow
night with a showing at Grants
Pass.
On the county high school scene
tonight four games are scheduled,
two of which can't help but have a
direct bearing on the current league
leadership.
Sacred Heart and Gilchrist are In
i the saddle at two wins and no de
feats, followed by Henley with one
win in the Hornets' sole conference
encounter.

UCLA-Troy
LOS ANGELES. Jan. 16 iPi
I UCLA and the University of South
ern California open a two-night bas
ketball series tonight and the only
certainty about the matches is that
the house Isn't large enough to hold
the crowd.
With both teams vieing to remain
in the southern division race of the
Pacific Coast conference, the Olym
pic auditorium's 8000 seat capacity
has been sold out both nights.
Both UCLA and the Trojans took
Stanford into camp here last week-
1 end. but both also fell victim to
California's smooth working team.
For the 1947-48 season, however,
UCLA boasts 10 wins against four
setbacks, as against Troy's 6-6 rec
ord. The Uclans boast speed and
Capt. Johnny Stanich's 35-pomt
total surpasses top Trojan scorer
Bill Sharman s 20, which were reg-
i istered in two games less than UCLA

The plan, proposed by the state j
