In this paper it is proved that a finite translation plane of order n ≡ 3 (mod 4) which contains an oval with the four point Pascalian property, or a finite dual translation plane of order n ≡ 3 (mod 4) which contains an oval with the four point Pascalian property, can be coordinatized by a commutative semifield.
