?TGE FOUR jrEDFORD IC&IL TRTBUXE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, DECEIBER 20. 1933 V T FOR MAC CLASH Portland Outfit Expected to Show Normal School What Prospects Are for Ensuing Cage Season ASHLAND, DM. 30. (6pl.) After rour weeis ot hard drill on basket- ball fundamental! and conditioning work, Coach Hobson has weeded out tils aquad and decided on the boya who will uphold .the SONS colora thla Mason. Opening against the formid able Multnomah club of Portland next Friday and Saturday, the SONS will play a, long, hard schedule, of some 35 games thla year. The team will have to work hard to equal the record of last year's outfit, which wont through the sea son without losing a aerlea. Ocegoii, Willamette, Chlco, Multnomah club and Monmouth all came out second beat in games with the SONS last year. Of the stars of a year ago, however, only Ward Howell, center, returns. Len Yandle, aharp-shootmg forward, may enter next term. Bud and Wlllard Jones are both regulars on the Oregon varalty this year and Dick Yocklsch did not return this year. Bquad Announced. To replace these players, Hobson has announced the following squad: At the forward positions, Charlie Patterson, tall colored star who made his letter here last year, and Trux Foreman, all-atats player for Salem two years ago, seem to have the edge. Art Merryman, flashy CorvallU slar, and Bob Braddock, one of Hobson'a Benson stars, are next In line. Dean Joy, red-headed streak from Wallac;, Idaho, completes the Hat of forwards. Of this group, Patterson Is the only real tall man. He stands six feet two and has an exceptional reach He Is clever ball handler and a fine scorer. Foreman Is a fast, cool player and very colorful. Merryman Is a half-pint speed boy and Is real'v clever, with Joy along the aame order. Braddock Is the fastest forward on th. squad and knows the game well. He may be In the starting lineup this week. Howell Improved. Ward Howell Is an Improved center this year and has a real understudy in i:;rold Bradway of Eugene. This good-natured giant, appropriately dubbed Ox by his team mates, stands six feet five and easily outjumps Howell. He Is improving rapidly and may move Into the) first firing line anytime as center or forward. .There Is a real battle on for the guard positions, with Lyle needcr, sub last year, showing remarkable Improvement so far that gives him the Inside track for one of the places. Bill Courtney, captain for two years under Hobson at Benson, and said to be the equal of MoLean In all around ability, will be hard to kep off of the starting five. Courtney Is small but can make up for this handicap very wall. He was elected as Portland all-star three years In a row. Marvin Fltzer, six feet three, and very aggressive, Is another good guard. Ho la from Se attle. Another man the same alee nd a 10-aecond man along with It is Jack Marks, regular on last year's Washington State freshman team. He has only been out a few daya and will cause worry to the present regulars. BUI Robinson, husky all-star from Oentralla, wash., Is another good guard. Nell Winkle, tall Bend player, completes the Hat of guards. Must Learn New Style. While most of the newcomers were outstanding In high school, most of them are very weak In the funda mentals given In the SONS cam;i, and they are totally unaccustomed to ths style of play used here. It Is Just a question of whether the squad can improve fast enough to meet fie competition they are asked to face and come out on the long end. Multnomah lub comes here with an unuaual array of stars and will let the SONS know Just where they stand as to the season's possibilities. The games will not start on either Friday or Saturday until 9:30, to allow business men of Ashland and Medford a chance to attend. The games are to be played at the Ash land Junior high with Ashland h:sh meeting Crescent City high both nights In preliminaries.
