MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOKLOHEGOy, SUNDAY, JANUARY 1, 1933. PAGE THREE V ) MOTS AGAIN BOW TO NORMAL HOOPERS. 35-33 Hobson Crew Hits Stride in Hectic Battle With Barn storming Varsity C. P. Trims Ashland High Five ASHLAND, Ore., Dec. 31. (Spl.) After playing mediocre basketball and winning only two out of three games on Its raoeat northern trip. Howard Hobson's Southern Oregon Normal live tilt lta stride Friday night to light through to a thrilling 35 to 33 victory over the University of Oregon. In winning over he Webfoota, the Sons repeated the trouncing they gnve Bill Relnhart's barnstorming crew almost two weeks ago. Friday night's fiercely contested tilt also marked the end of a five-game win ning streak Oregon had piled up at the expense of California colleges. Sons Trail at Hair. After trailing Oregon, 18 to 16, at half time the sons came back strong to crack through the close-checking Webfoot d'.fense and pile up a seven point lead as the period was about half over. Ward Howell, behemoth ex-Ashland center, who emerged from the battle high-point man with 15 markers, alternated with Willie Jones in giving Hobson's men the advan tage. The Sons' lead was short lived, how ever, as Oregon settled down to its usual polished floor game and pueo up points from perfectly executed block plays. Kerrnit Stevens, wlminu tlve Webfoot scoring ace, who totaled 12 points for the game, had a chance to tie up the score In the closing 30 seconds, as he broke Into the clear ahead of his guard and cut for the basket. He received a pass from Cap Roberts, Oiegon's star center. Just as he was In position for an easy cripple, but he was traveling too fast to handle the ball and It rolled out of bounds. For the remaining seconds the Son6 managed to keep possession until the final gun assured victory. As the second half started Rein hart's men appeared to be on the way to a decisive win as they blocked and faked the Sons out of position with a clever floor attack. The reliving Oregon five reckoned without the greater height and weight of Hobson's club and It was only a matter of a few mlnutea until the Sons opened up their scoring drive, keeping the ball over the heads of the hard working Oregon guards. Cliff McLean, Hobson's Indian for ward, turned In an outstanding, floor game, and set a pace so fast that the other members of his team had difficulty keeping up with him. Ccntrsl Point high school upset advance predictions by eking out a 18-17 decision over Ashland high In the preliminary. Summirj of the varsity game:.

Chairman Col lier of the house ways and means committee, and several other senators, The group will lay before Mr. Roose velt Information as to the needs of By ALAN GOULD. Some wild yarns come out of- the cloakroom sessions where ball players, coaches, old-timers, gather to ease the strain on arches falling all over the premises of the major league baseball - meotlngs. For Instance, there are the tall tains featuring Ihc negro teams the major legaueis meet occasionally on barnstorming tQurs, particularly. It seems, do these outfits prosper after the sun goes down. Night baseball Is their particular forte. "There was one guy named Bell on a negro team we met In St. Louis & couple of years ago." Paul Wancr suggested, , "who was the fastest thing I ever saw In baseball clothes. "He was on first base and the next batter hit a single to center. This fellow Bell by that time was rounding second base and watching me as he ran. He never stopped. I made s motion, thinking to get him at third As I started to throw I saw I vns going to be too late. Er, I stopped. But he didn't. He kept on for home plat. By the time I could get the ball away he had slid In there, and was dusting himself off and walking calmly away." "That n!ht ball," said Waner, "Is murderous business. "Heinle Melne was pitching his first game against a semi-pro team for us on a barnstorming trip of St. Louis after the season closed two years ago. "They told us that if you pitch low, and throw nothing but curves, the batters can't see the ball. Melne tried that. The first ball he threw hit the fence. The next went by his head so fast, and so close, that he walked right out of the ball game. " 'I didn't come here to get killed,' he said as he went home, and we shoved m a new pitcher." Otto Miller, Brooklyn coach who warms up the pitchers, had a word to offer. "I was warming Van Mungo up before a nlht exhibition game, and If you don't know It. he's fast. "The first two balls he threw miss ed my head by inches and I never saw them. I retired, resigned, quit. I've got a family to protect." Waner came back then with the yarn that broke up the meeting. "The first time I played center field at night I was dazed. "The first guy up swung hard. The ball started up in the air. T smarted back for the fence. "Would you believe it, the thing I was chasing that looked like aspirin tablet floating through air turned out to be a miller, one of those nleht-fiylng moths." "I chased It until I crashed Into the fence. When I picked myself up and looked back to the infield, there was the ball Just dropping into the Just w.hat Is the reason Pop War ner is leaving his old stamping grounds at Stanford, where he es tablished an enviable record, to plow more fertile fields in Philadelphia? The Old Fox saw his palmiest days a few years back at Stanford; since then his teams have been on the downgrade. This year Washington, U. C. L. A., U. S. C. and Fordham beat the In dians, bringing Pop's record to 13 losses, with 73 victories That's not bad record for oy coach. Some say Stanford's live straight losses to U. S. C. are responsible for his leav ing, but how about California's one lone victory over Stanford since War ner started coaching there? A victory over the deadly rival does not Insure a coach's Job any more. Prink Calllson beat Oregon States this year, but the only thing Oregon alumni can see is that 33-0 "scorching" in the los Angeles "oven." Football is outgrowing back yard fence rivalries and to be se cure, a coach has to turn In a record like Notre Dame's. Look at Jimmy Phelan up at Washington. The yelps of the alumni wolves were dismal even though he defeated Stanford, U. C. L. A. and scared the wits out of Southern Cal., the national champions. Nothing short of a record like Notre Dame's would satisfy most of the howlers. Our Idea of one of the reasons why Warner is leaving Stanford comes from a statement made by a Stanford football player several years back. Pete Helscr, who played first team guard along with Chuck Small ing, Post, Robeskey, Dick Hyland, and a few other "big shots." EAST AND WEST EOOTBALL STARS END HARD DRILL SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 30. (FV Football stars of east and west went through their last hard sessions of practice today in preparation for the charity contest here Monday. Today's workouts climax 10 days of stiff drill for both teams the east at Stanford university and the west at Berkeley. Sunday only light lim bering up practice will be In order as the 40-odd star athletes taper off to a fine point for the contest. Yesterday's drills were among the hardest which either squad has gone through. At Stanford the east eleven met Ernie Ncvers' pickup team In a "return" engagement and defeated 't for a second time by a five-touchdown margin. Bart Vlviano. Cornell fullback, and Dick Fencl. Northwest ern end, were the outstanding per formers. The workout at Berkeley was fea tured by a long period of pass de fense. Practice and the announce ment by Coaches Dana X. Bible and Orln Holllngbery of a tentative choice for starters on the line. They are as follows: Ends Steve Hoiuff, Nebraska, and Ralph Stone, Olympic club; tackles Bill Morgan, Oregon, and Jack Johnson. Utah: guards Clem Senn Washington state, and Charles Mo llnarl, Santa Clara; center Lawrence Ely. Nebraska. Helser predicted to us at that time that the coming years would see Stanford taking a back seat In foot ball. "They're making a two-year school out of Stanford," he com plained. "Your football players do not get there until they're Juniors and only have two years to play under Warner. The under division work is gradually being eliminated and It looks as though the college au thorities want to make It Into a graduate school. Naturally, with Stanford becoming a school for brain champs and Phi Beta Kappas, football is becoming subordinate. That's our guess on w,hy Warner Is leaving. He sees Stanford's football fame fading and the future looking dismal if the present policy Is followed up. With out material, no coach can turn out a team, and Stanford is not getting the headllncrs any more. The fac ulty is driving them away. the treasury and plan, to puah the , hanj.'N.0X !f ,.,. aomeswc bhuhucuh -" through this session.

(AP) Southern California's football players 36 of them icnted tonight Just above the Rose Bowl battlefield, while their opponents from Pittsburg were approaching by train from their training camp at Tucson, Ariz. The man in the street probably will re gard the winner of Monday's game as the national champion. Southern California, with a brief workout in the famous bowl tested the turf and atmospheric conditions and found them about the same as prevailing a year ago when the Tro jans stopped the Greenbacks from Tulanc, 21 to 12. The western team was In perfect condition as It sought Its fourth Rone Bowl victory, a record no other team has had a chance to make. Comparatively little betting has been reported, but Southern Cali fornia remained a favorite In the wagers noted, some odds beSng 2 to 1 The attendance may reach 78,000 or more, it will not, however, equal the record -bre a k I n g crowd of 1 as t year when 83,000 turned out. : BLAZE DESTROYS HE' SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. SI. (AP) Police Captain Charles Ooff de nounced today the Mooney sympa thizers for "Imposing upon the board feeling of humanity of president elect Roosevelt by attempting to fool him with the lies of Paul M. Callt cotte." Ooff referred to the visit of Mrs. Mary Mooney, mother of Tom Mooney, preparedness day bombing convict, to Governor Roosevelt yes terday at Albany. She was reported to have given Roosevelt new evidence of her son's asserted Innocence, the story Calltcotte told of having un wittingly placed the bomb which killed 16 persons watching the par ade In IS 16. DETROIT. Mich., Jan. !. "The finest Buick ever built!" Thus do the critics acclaim the 1933 Buick. which was presented to the motoring public today by Skin ner s Garage. Here are the major facts about this new car, according to R. A. Skinner: The most startling feature Is the abolishment of the old kick-action starter. There la no starter pedal I A touch of the finger on a button on the dash automatically engages the starting gears by electro-magnetic attraction and turns the motor. fourth control headlights form an other example of Buick ingenuity. Headlights on the new Buick have a fourth notch for what Is known as a "passing beam." Tins, for passing a car coming toward you, throws a bright beam to the right side of the road, brilliantly Illuminating the edge of the pavement, and a dim beam to the left side traffic lane. The new Fisher body no-draft ven tilation system Is considered one of the most Important development since closed cars came Into popular use. It eliminates drafts in any part of the car and the danger of clouded vision In wet weather. At the same time it provides a constant circulation of fresh air that can be regulated by any individual In the car without causing discomfort to any other oc cupant. Actual Increase In length Is empha sized by the long, low, flowing lines or the new Buick, The car forms finished unity there Is nothing to show that it consists of a body mounted on a chassis. From roof downward, It presents continuous lines the entire chassis concealed except the wheels. This has been done by the use of skirted fenders Bodies have been lowered 2'i Inches without sacrificing headroom. The Cront view is radically new. The fine- mash, dull chromium finish radiator grill la of graceful V-ahape contour. Hoods are long, and this feature Is emphasized by a tapering chromium plated hood hinge. Grades of upholstery heretofore used only on custom-built cars are standard on the closed body types of all the 1033 Bulcks, and these may be had In whipcord, mohair, or broad cloth weaves in colors that harmo nize with exterior finishes. Front compartment are JU inches wider and rear seats have been widened l'A Inches. Window curtains on the closed models have their rollers concealed behind the upholstery with the cur tains working through narrow slots. Other features are the new rubber mounting of the straight eight, valve- ln-head Buick engine, new artillery type steel wheels with 11-lnch dlame tcr and large hubs and short, stocky spokes that retain paint better than wheels of wooden construction. Ride control, introduced last year by Buick, has been made automatic as a further aid to driving ease. All body types are wired for radio and the engineers took another step for ward besides installing an aerial; they materially increased the charging rate of the generator so that when the car Is In operation ample electricity Is available for the radio and other elec trical equipment. By L. R. Shurtleff Because of the rapid membership growth of the Southern Oregon Northern California Mining Associa tion, Inc., which now totals well over 100. larger quarters thi.n can he had In the chamber of commerce will be necessary. About sixty enthusias'tc mining men from this section filled the chamber of commerce to overflowing Friday night to discuss mutters to be taken up with the Western Oregon Mining Congress at Salem. Oregon. January 14, and to outline plans for placing as many as possible of the unemployed at work on the proven placer grounds of this section. The plan will work out to the tidvantage and aid of the county and other e Uef agencies, because these will pro vide their own payroll. The fact was brought out that In many instances an erroneous impres sion was being harbored as to the objects and nature of the organisa tion, some thinking it a ix.mpnny or- ganioed to sell stock or boost some private mining conceit. Nothing is farther from the truth and the association extends a cordial Invitation to attend their meetings and have thla error corrected. Nex: meeting of the association will be held at an early date. APPOINTED WHEN !! (Continued from Page One) The Karmel Korn Shop now locat ed 115 E. Main. NIAGARA FALLS, Ont., Dec. 81.
