conference season opens after the
first of the year.
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

whether or not Hobson's grasn squad,

can hold Ita own against the smooth

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

greaslve young Hobson.

Itclty and the sparwiy-newa-papered
west plays second fiddle.
I,'s sportwrlters that make all
Americans, plus a certain amount of
playing ability and the breaks of the
game. Better men than those on any
year's all-Amerlcan can be found
among the bushes. '
Personal.?, the biggest kick we've
got out of football In recent vears
was read in about how Johnnie Kttz-
miHer kicked, passed and ran wild j
against the eastern all -Americans like
Ten Macnluso, Colgate's ful'butk. and
Baker of Northwestern. Kitzmlller
did not make anvbodv'a all-Amerlcan,
but ask an San Francisco sports
writer if he thinks he was as good as
the eastern big shots that publicity t
made. Kits won the game himself
with a place kick, Just to do a good i
Job of whitewashing up well. j
Our own Bill Morgan won himself
another honor for his playing this
year, being honorable mention on the
Collier's magazine all-Amerlcan se
lected by Orantland Rice and a coterie
of sportswriter advisers over the na
tion. ...
Bill was also picked on the all
Amerlcan chosen by four famous
coaches. Last year he was mentioned
by the same group.
