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

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.
