Tiger-Ashland Tilt Postponed to Tuesday CAMERA KEEPS HEAVYWEIGHT GROWN BY DECISION I'MllL l-.K.HT REFEREE CAUSES Inability of Ashland and Medford high school officials to agree on a , referee for the basketball game sched uled here tonight has caused post . ponement of the encounter to next Tuesday, Principal C. Q' Smith of the local high scnool announced this morning. The encounter holds vast Import for both teams, Medford needing a victory to retain a chance for the dis trict title and a trip to the state 0 tournament at Salem. Ashland, with one victory over the locals to their v credit, hopes to clinch their district title claim. .Ashland, according to Principal Smith, wanted Howard Hobson, coach nt Ashland normal, as referee and were cither reluctant to consider - other candidates or refused point ' blank to agree to numerous sugges tions made by Coach D. K. Burgher of the Medford school. rf According to Burgher, Ashland fl . nally agreed to one of the three fol lowing officials: Harry Leedlng, sports editor of the Portland Journal: v Ralph Coleman of Oregon State or Em He Paulso, coast conference of ficial. Wires have been sent and definite choice of referee Is expected by tonight. ' Preceding the main game Tuea- i day night, there will be a prelimi nary between the Tiger Cubs and the All-Stars of St. Mary's academy, start ing at 7 o'clock. Each has won twice from the other and the "rubber" should prove a great appetite whetter for the main event. Coach Burgher was atll studying his players today and had not defi nitely decided on his starting lineup for Tuesday's tilt, but stated there would probably be some change from the lineup he has been using so far E HI CHANGE IN DATESIPROVES 100 MUCH FOR CHALLENGER F, EUOKNB. Ore., March 3. (AP) The University of Oregon basketball -team which fought Its way up from a darkhorse to a, contender for sec ond honors in the north division . conference meets Oregon State col lege here tonight. Tomorrow night the toanu meet at Corvallls. Second and third place honors In the conference are entirely dependent on the two-game series as each team has won seven and lost seven games. : The psychology favora Oregon wltfi second place particularly Inviting arter a cellar berth last season. For the Orange even second place would be a comedown from last year's coast cnampionsnip. Both teams have shown some splen did basketball this season and both are expected to respond to the occa sion with sustained aggressiveness, By V AN fiOlI.D. (Apworlated Press ftporls Editor) MIAMI, Pla., March 3. ( AP) Due exclusively to his superior pound age and power, the combination of which proved entirely too much for even the lion-hearted challenge of Tommy Loughran to offset In 16 wearying rounds, Prlmo Camera re tains possession of the world's heavy weight boxing championship today and turns his thoughts toward the completion of negotiations to meet his next American rival, Max Bner. The title was Just about all that the mountainous man from Italy had to show for his ponderous efforts last night In clubbing back the attempt of Loughran to match hie mere 184 pounds of beef and brawn. Decisive Victory. The champion. In his second title defense since he knocked out Jack Sharkey last summer, won decisively enough. He gained the unanimous vote of the three officials and a mar gin In 10 of the 10 rounds, but he was unable to land a single punch with sufficient power to dislodge Loughran from his feet. Camera simply clubbed Loughran by a slow, cumbersome process Into such a state of weariness that after holding his own with a dazzling exhibition for the first 10 rounds, Philadelphia Tommy lasted the closing five rounds mainly on raw courage and a display j of boxing skill that never deserted i him. 13,000 Rpertntnrs. Pending an official count today It was estimated scarcely more than 15. 000 spectators, of whom perhaps a third were there "on the house," witnessed the first heavyweight title fight In Florida srnce Jim Corbett knocked out Charley Mitchell at Jacksonville In the gay nineties. The gate receipts were placed between $40,000 and 150.000. Tills marked the lowest ebb for the heavyweight championship business since Corbett fought Bob Fltzslmmons at San Francisco In ' 1903. It contrasted sharply with the first big bout In this winter playground In 1020, when Strlbllng and Shnrkcy attracted a "gate' of M00.000. Loughran's brilliant fight against the heaviest odds any heavyweight first round when he caught Lough ran backing away and bounced him into the ropes with a right to the face. The other was a straight right to the head that also drove Loughran Into the ropes in the final round. But for the supporting strands Tommy might have gone down for the first time, but he pulled himself together, side-stepped and weathered the last few moments of the fight. Italian Jeered. Camera was repeatedly warned by the referee, as well as Jeered by the crowd for his tactics. Exasperated as he missed his own swings or was jabbed off balance, the Italian roughed and mauled Tommy, held with one "hand and clubbed with the other, or grabbed and spun the chal lenger around like a sack of pota toes. Only in the 13th and I5th rounds did It appear Camera con nected consistently enough, with a display of longshorcman'a tactics, to have Loughran In real distress. Loughran, on the Associated Press score sheet, f was credited with the third, fourth, sixth and tenth rounds, with the seventh even and the re maining ten given to the champion. Tommy's best all-around work was done In the fourth and sixth, al though his best single punch, a hard right to Camera's head, was delivered In the fifth. This blow Jarred the champion and threw him nearly off balanco, but he whipped back with both hands to give Loughran a maul ing the rest of the round. E FOE ANDRREFEREE ST. LOUIS. March S. (AP) Ed "Stranglcr" Lewla, heavyweight wrestl ing champion In the days before there were several of them, I, on the black. Ht of the Missouri Athletic commis sion. ' Lewis, now nearlng the end of the grunt snd groan trail, knocked down Referee Charley Rentrop of Memphis twice at the arena last night after he had been disqualified for slugging his opponent, Dick Shlkat. The first arena guards to reach the ring also got punched, but police restored order. Old Ed's display of "temperament." said Commissioner Seneca Taylor, will coat him I00 of his purse and "In definite suspension." challenger In history has faced, deficit of 86 pounds In the ring and better than n one to five shot In the betting before-hand, was the only factor that aaved the bout from being a complete flop. Tommy In Slow Htart. But for a slow start In the first three rounds, during which Camera clubbed or hurled him briskly around like a mastiff playing with a terrier, Loughran might have piled up enough points to have made the decision closer. Prom the third to the tenth. when he flashed hla laat real atand however, Tommy's besutlful boxing and footwork made the Italian giant look like, a novice. Camera's club like blows got In their most effective work whenever Prlmo could rush his smaller foe Into the corners or wres tle him along the ropes, but Lough ran outboxed, outsmarted and nt rnre Intervals even outaluggcd the giant "I had' the fight won I'm sure of that until Camera stepped on my foot and bruised It in the 11th round." said Loughran In hla dress ing room. "That slowed me up con siderably In the latter atagea. I think the officials gave their decision fairly, but I also think I should have had more credit for landing the clean er blows. I was never hurt and I would like another chance against Camera." Camera, Can't runch. Camera's performance against the most skillful boxer he has ever faced. convinced rlngslders that they were right, in the first place, when they declared the big man cannot punch. The champion's bludgeon-like blows chopped down Loughran's resistance finally, but he landed no more than two clean punches on his elusive tar get In the whole IS rounds, In the GATWICR. !ng..
