Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRTBUNT3, MEDFOIU), OREGON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1933. PAGE TWO First Basketball Games Were Stirring Events in Towns Athletic History (By Eva Nealon Hamilton) Back In the days of 1901 and 1903 Jacfcson county waa divided and Jackson county waa lighting but by and for her basketball, football ana baseball teams. Medford was the cen ter ol the conflict and politics dldnt rate at all. Bloody noses were gained on the field or the sidelines, accord ing to H. N. "Doc" Butler, Medford's first coach, and there were plenty of them. Seated on a bench In the Colonial garage yesterday afternoon, "Doc", also heralded as the first man In Med ford to don puttees, carried a small audience far from worries of ballot filching and protest demonstrations, back to the nights when "Shorty Miles msde the baskets." From the ranks of the volunteer firemen. Medford made up her first basketball teams, and they played each other for their hottest combats, Mr. Butler explained. The first games were played In the Angle opera bouse, "the only place In town big enough." On the main string were Shorty Miles and "Doo" Butler as forwards. Charley King, center, Basil Gregory and Charley Boussom. guards. In 1903 or 1903, "Doo" wasn't sure which yesterday,. the team played the champs of the United States, "The Red Wings of Minnesota." The team stopped here on tour to rest and swell Its purse, so took on the locala for a gnme. In order to keep the onlookors thrilled, Mr. Butler stated, the Red Wings maintained Just a minor lead on the Medford firemen throughout ' the game. . And at Its olose, the local fana were boasting of the second best team in the nation. Ashland and Grants Pass also had town teams In those days and so did Jacksonville and some of the bloodiest battles were waged with the Pioneers. The partisanship evolving from the teams spread throughout the county, "Doc" explained yeaterday, and it wasn't confined to the masculine ranks. A women's team was organ ized and halrpulltng became a com mon pastime oa the basketball floor. Daisy Bodge was one of the star play ers and Mabel Wilson a close second Judge Crowell, then mayor of the town, never missed a game, accord- In to Mr. Butler. The ball waa packed for each event arid city business was of minor Importance when Medford's te.m was scheduled to meet enemy. Colonel E. e. Kelly was also a de voted fan and frequently engaged In a minor attraction on the sidelines. Football waa played on "the com mons" west of the railroad tracks, where a few houses dotted the land scape. There weren't any bleachers. "Doc" said yesterday. "The teams Just went out and fought. The crowd gathered around, also fought a bit, and a good time was bad by all." Mr. Butler couldn't remember the names of all the players yesterday, but some of the stars were Roy Mickey, Claude Hoover, Everett Bee- son, Tom Carney and "Pansy" Ander. son. In one of the liveliest games "Bee- son licked a couple of guys from Ash land and broke bis knuckles." but the next game, scheduled with Eagle Point, where the von der Hellene starred, was not called off. Broken knuckles or none, Beeson played. All the teams were coached by "Doc" and when the townspeople couldn't find anything else to fight about, he stated yesterday, they chose the "S" on his sweater as subject of combat. Coming .here from Still college of osteopathy, where he was a prominent athlete, "Doc" brought with him his college sweater. In spite of all his reports to the contrary, many of his admirers maintained that the "S' stood for Stanford and the man who said It didn't, frequently got a shiner hung on for his trouble. While Mr. Butler was In Olarlnda, Iowa, the town had nine baseball teams. He hsd played football for four years and so arrived In Medford rather "team-minded" and still la.

Bud Rleke who Is a straight "A" student In school, has controlled the tip-off consistently In all games this year and Kloostra who plays either forward or center Is almost as tall. Coach Keene could place on the floor a team averaging six-feet three, but will probably start Kloostra and Lemon forwards, Rleke center,' and Kaiser and Hartley guards. . Lemon and Hartley are the small men, the others being well over the six-foot mark. Reserves Include Burdette, Frants, Connors and Griffith. Ous Moore was also with the squad. The Sons attack will be particular ly directed at the Willamette offen sive and will Include a new type of defense. Willamette this year has averaged between 40 and AO points per game and Is the highest scoring team In the northwest. It will be all the Sons Giants can do to hold the score down, but with such de fensive players as Jocklscb, B. Jones and Howell, In the lineup, they should be able to hold their own. It Is certain that the games this week end will be high scoring, spectacular i ball games between two big, fast teams, and should furnish the best basketball exhibition ever seen In southern Oregon. t The Sons also boast an unusual record, having met and defeated some of the best qulntetd la the northwest this season.
