Hobson's starting lineup will aver age well over alx feet, with Ward Howell, center, and Willie Jones, for ward, ranging around sl-flve, and Dick Jocklsh, guard, standing only an Inch shorter. Lyla Reeder, the other guard Is slightly over sit feet tall, which leaves only Cliff McLean, brilliant Indian forward, aa the only man among the atarters who la un der the six-foot mark. This advantage la expected to give Howell control of the tip-off over the opposing enter.

SPORTS REVIEW Tonight's basketball game at Ashland between the University of Oregon and Southern Oregon Nor mal school will be one of those publle ts. teacher affaire Howard Hobson, who captained the north west championship Oregon quin tet In 1926, pitting his normal school hoopsters against those ot his old coach, Billy Relnhart. It should be an Interesting bot tle of systems and Individuals, the giant Wardlow Howell against the all-American "Cap" Robertson ana the llghtnlng-fast Cliff McLesn against the riashy Kermlt Stevens for Oregon. Thla department's guess Is that the two teams won't be more than six points apart at the finish, with the Ashland men having a fine chance to lick the barnstorming Eugeneans. Hobson this year has raised the Nor mal out of the class of a ama)l city Institution Into ona representing all southern Oregon. It Isn't "Ashland Normal" any more. Medford la taking an Interest in It. thanks to the eg. greaslve young Hobson. If you ask us, any football player who doesn't make aomeone'e all-coast or all-Amerlcan should take up golf or backgammon, what with all the newspapera, aynaicates, ana maga zines selecting them. As usual, moat of the first team players thla year were easterners. Ernie Smith of TJ. S. C. made most of the selections and Bill Corbus, Stanford guard, was picked by some The rest were scattered over the east and aouth. News travels from east to west more easily than vice versa. When some eastern school has big-shot on the gridiron, there are a hundred blr newspapera witnin a hundred mllea ready to plug for him. Hla name la before the sports fans. the westward flow of news carrleB It out here. Only recently haa the east taken cognizance of the fact that teams from west of the rookies could play football at all. It took a nock or wallopings to convince them. This year ts the first In a long time that the east haa taken most of the Intersectlonal games. It remained for Prlnk Calllson's much maligned (by aouthern California aports writers) football team to re vive the west's fading glories in in tersectlonal battlee for 1833. The scarcity of large newspapera In the west, outside of a few large cities, mskes It hard for any western football stars to get thtlr names before all-star selectors. A player's chances of making the "Big Team," If checkup could he made, would be found to hinge directly on the number of times he got his name In the sports pages. It's Just a battle of pub- SCATTER GUNNERS WIN EAT TURKEYS IN WINDUP SHOOT In apfte of unfavorable weather con. ctitlons, a large number of gunners turned out yesterday for the final turkey shoot of the season.
