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. Tickets sie
on sale In Medford. at the Toggery
and at the Office Stationery and

Sewell has been struck out, for an
average of a shade more than eight
times a season. He first led the league
In avoiding third strikes In 1923,
fanning 12 times, and continued to
head the list In the next six cam

1024, four In 1026, six In 1926, seven

leading aikeout victim, fanning 93
times. Campbell struck out 104 times

at home, but was the best outfit on
the road. New York won 61 and lost
