RING SHARPS SEE CHANCE FOR LOUGHRAN VICTORY liny EmvAiw j. m;ii. (Associated Press Sports Writer.) MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 33. (fP) The closer the ring sharps get to Prlmo Camera's heavyweight title defenee against Tommy Loughran next Wed nesday night, the better appear the challenger's chances of staking one of the top upsets of ring history. When the match was mode, weeks ago, the bout was considered a tune up for Camera's summer campaign, and the battle that loomed with Max Baer. The chances of Loughran, 130 pou rider, tackling the 365-pound giant were considered negligible. But now, with the match only five days away, the complexion of the tus sle has changed. Loughran, in his training workouts at West palm Beach, has fought him self Into perfect condition. He Is handling sparring partners as tall as Camera with the same ease he dis played In whipping giants such as Max Baer, Vic tor lo Cam polo and the late Ernie Schanf. He Is confident to a point where he almost pleads with you not to make a mistake, to see the obvious, and realize he will win. "Big fellows," he says, "always have been easier for me then little ones. My speed Is tripled against them. Modesty out the window. Camera never saw the day when he could begin to box with me. He can't hope to macth me In generalship and ex perience." Camera, In his workouts here, has employed small, Inadequately equip ped sparring partners, as poor a lot as ever worked In a champion's camp. The three veterans he had of any note, Arthur Huttick, Harold Mays and George Manley, have been dis charged. They were hitting him M most at will. Worse than that, in the eyes of the experts, Is the obviousness of Camera's fighting plan. He seems to expect that Loughran will charge into him to be speared and crushed In the champion's huge arms. He Is not equipped for guile, for a smirt bout. When he tries to take the offense, as Loughran probably will make him, he flounders badly. TENTH HOOP TITLE IN 13 YEARS GOAL OE TIGERJUINTET Game Tonight in Ashland Will Have Bearing On Chance This Year Huskies May Play Sons (By Billy Hulcn) When Medford and Ashland high schools meet tonight at Ashland And Saturday night, March 3, at Medford for the district championship and the right to represent southern Ore gon at the state tournament at Sa lem In March, the Tigers of Medford high will be gunning for their tenth district basketball title In thirteen years. Whar a remarkable record that Is. Since and Including 1Q33, when Ashland won the state championship, Medford has sent teams to the tour nament In nine of the twelve years. Only In 1033, 1030 and 1031 haa any other team gone. And, In two of those Medford years, the Tigers have come homo state title holders. In 1034, Prink Calllson's first year as Medford coach, the Red and Black romped over the state's best for the first state title In Medford history. Playing on that team of '24 were Al len, Knlps, Wllllnms, Rlchsteln and Chosatln. Williams and Choataln were placed on the All-State team at guard and forward, respectively, and Allen made the second team at cen ter. Then, as a climax to a great seven years of athletic teams, Calllson, In 1030, hla last year at Medford', turn ed out probably the finest high school basketball team to ever go from southern Oregon to Salem. Playing a he art -breaking schedule at the tournament, the Tlgora smashed through to the finals. In the cham pionship game with Astoria they won an overwhelming victory and critics called them one of the best to ever win the title. The Incomparable A) Mclvln was named captain of tho All-State team and BUI Morgan was placed at guard. Red McDonald, Cliff Garrett, Bill Bowerman and Chuck 8wanson were the other players on the aggrega tion. McDonald has since made his tory at Oregon State. Probably no school in Oregon can boast the fine players Medford has turned out, and certainly none can equal the record of teams sent to the tournament In the past dor.cn years. lAnd several years ago, goes to the Philadelphia Nationals this spring via the drnft route. Though near the top for the past five year, and now getting his op portunity to be at the peak. Curt remains the same boyish, unaffected fellow who burned up the local dia monds not so long ago. San Francisco fans will certainly miss him. Down there he was "their Davis." Pew have been the favorite that he has been. This winter, w.hile In southern Ore gon, he remarked: "I probably won't stay up there long." That Is typical of him; somewhat under - confident, maybe a little afraid, but we, who know him, are sure that he has what It takes, and that he will be there a long, long time. T TITLE AT STAKE NEW YORK, Feb. 23. p) The world's three-cushion billiard cham pionship and $1,500 in cash will be at stake tonight when welkor Coc li ra n of San Francisco and Johnny Lay ton of Sedan a. Mo., take their places at the familiar green-cloth table. It will be the last regularly sched uled game of the tournament which began February 5, and It will be.de clalve. Willie Hoppe, New York veteran, defeated J. N. Bozeman, young Val lejo, Cal., sensation, 50-43, In the nex tto the last game of the tour nament last' night, and wound up In a tie for fourth place with Boz mnn. Bach won seven games and loat four. They wilt play off the tie Saturday.

Howard Hobson's Southern Oregon Normal quintet scored n average of over 45 points each game this year. The team has a comparatively weak defense but by simply outarorlng their opponents, they hung up a splendid record. They won the last of 10 games on their schedule. Though tho Sons' schedule Is fin- Ished. llobaon Is trying to arrange j a game with University of Washing- ! ton, Pacific coast conference north ern division winners. The game, if It goe through, would be played at Ashland when the Huskies return from Callforna, whepj they will meet the southern division winners for the coast title.

NEW IVIAT ARTISTS GUN CLUB SLATES GIVE LOCAL FANS Promoter Mack Llllsrd gave Med ford wrestling fans a pk at a trio of brand new old meanles In his three-match mat card at the Armory last night. In which Lea Wolfe, 188. Texas, grabbed the odd fall from rough, tough Billy Newman, 107, Den ver In the main event; Oeorge Barnes, Nebraska, took the only fsll In the 45-mlnute seml-wlndup from Frank Clemens, OklBhoma, and Bob Stone. 201, Des Moines wild man, was dis qualified for roughness snd the match awarded Swede Anderson, s. Medford fireman. Although Lea Wolfe won the flrat fall from Billy Newman In only eight minutes, the Denver boy made plenty of trouble for the popular Texan. Newman la adept at "sneaking a punch" and doled out plenty of pun ishment before falling before a series of headlocks and a body press. The second fall went to Newman as the result of a "sucker" hold. William Insisted upon being the perfect gen tleman, and when Wolfe obligingly stuck out his mttt for a handshake, was yanked Into a whip wrlstlock and had his shoulders rubbed In resin In little more than a minute. The de ciding fall went to Wolfe In 10- min utes when he clamped on his pet rolling sclssorR and hammered all the tight out of Newman. Frank Clemens, and hla Indian "paralyzer" hold, struck a tough nut !n George Barnes of Nebraska In their 45-mlnute seml-wlndup. The Ne brnikan showed that he could "take It as well as dish 'It out" when he crawled out of the Indlnn paralyzer and came right back to put Clemens' shoulders on the mat with a chin lock. The fall came In 19 minutes. Clemens came back strong, but the gong ending the bout found him atlll trying to even the match. Bob Stone, Des Molncs wild man. walked off with the evening's cus sedness prize In his 30-mlnute curtain-raiser with husky Swede Ander son one of the most persistently rough matches ever seen here, which was finally awarded the Swedo on a foul. .Stono Is as hard as his name and his appetite for. raw meat makes most of the "wild men" who have ap peared here look like a bunch of sissies. The Iowan tangled., with Rofereo Friable as freely as with Anderson, and the flnnl breach of etiquette came after 19 minutes of knock-down-and-drng-out mixing.
