M. , in High School Gym Th Medford high school basket ball Mam waives Its baptism under lire tonight at the high school gym nsslum. beginning at 8 o'clock, with the SONS frosh doing the baDtlslng. The strength of the local outfit, untested In anything besides prac tice games, is still strongly In doubt, with most of the mn being new to regular competition. Kunzman, whom - Burgher listed In the tentative start ing lineup, haa had two years of ex perience, but the others. Ettenger at center, Bob Smith at guard with Kunzman, and Sears and Campbell at forwarda all being more or less untested. Burgher had no statement to make as to the prospective merits of his team tms morning, other thsn to say that although green, the team Is a fighting one. Most of the members are tall, with Ettenger and Campbell over als feet, and smith nearly as tall. Bob smith will be remembered as the flash that blazed across the foot hall sky In mid-season, after warm ing the bench most of the time In the earlier games. Lewis Campbell, while this la bis first starting role, is not entirely new to the game, having played on a Tiger cub team that walloped the varsity In practice games two nights In a row two jears ago. Ettenger Is the long football cen ter from the second string, and should round out Into a formidable basketeer. Seara Is also new to var alty ball, but la declared a ball-hawk by observers. The starting line-up will be back ed by auch well known athletes as Hlnman. Lewlfi, who, contrary to earlier reports, Is not "descendent." but a brother of the famous St. Mary's star naskotbell players; Lu men. Van Dyke, (who practically won the Ashland game alone last year while playing for the scrub team that took the place of the out-lawed barn-palntlng first game), Steuart. Severson and Bates. The preliminary, which starts at 1 'clock, will feature the Tiger cube and the Junior high team under Ray Henderson. Both gamea arc expected to be fast and Interesting. WRESTLE TO DRAW PORTLAND.

Each took a fall and then begged for 10 minutes more to decide the bout. The referee put the matter to k vote and each grappler received eoma applause, but the crowd showed it wish when asked If the bout should ne a draw.

T Tough Time in Store for Scrappy Sacramentan Is Fans' Belief Rumberg Hubka Meet Preliminary Last minute Investigation of the dope bucket regarding the main event wrestling bout tonight be tween Pete Belcastro and Rd Devil, two equally skillful and thoroughly unscrupulous grapple, haa seen a decided twist In the odds toward the side of the mysterious meanle, who Is rated by most of the local fight prognostics tors as having a. two to one chance of coming out of the fracas on top. It Is believed that belligerent Bel castro will have a tough time of It when he meets the mystery man to night for the second time. Although Pete Is capable of handling hlmsell under any circumstances, Red Devil has been brewing up bad medicine for the Italian ever since the latter unwound a dropkick that spelled defeat several weeks ago and an in jured back to Red Devil, aa well a ruin to more than one neat In the third row of the armory arena. Before that kick came. Red Devil was drubbing Pete throughout the match, In the manner It Is feared, not hoped (because Belcastro Is rated aa a strong favorite when compared to tha vicious mystery man) that hu will repeat tonight In the return en gagement. On the other hand, Belcastro Is no slouch when It comes to drop-kicking, or, for that matter, any of the ether angles of the game that were Invented to flatten an opponent. Ht also has been brewing bad medicine during the Interim, and with thn crunching haymakers and rabbit punches that poured Into him dur ing the first tangle ringing in his ears. It Is thought that Belcastro will know better than to get too close to the demon without first figuring out bow to get away again. Report from the Italian Indicate that he Is as cocky as ever, despite the fact that ho hesitated some time before agreeing to the mutch. He. vows he will succeed In pulling oft the scarlet hood which dltgulaes Red Devil, a thing which he very nearly did In the first wild me'.ee between this pair of blg-tlme choke ond chuckle artists. Promoter Mack Llllurd has signed for the semi-final event two other highly-touted wrestlers promising plenty of action Hal Hum berg, 225 pound grappler from Spokane, and joe Huoka, ex-Unlverslty of Nebraska athlete. Rumberg, rated one of the best men on the coast today, Is making his first appearance in Medford, and Is heralded by those In the kr.ow as & colorful speclmon. Stocky but fast Rumborg displays a hard, aggressive type of wrestling that twally leaves nlm well accounted lor. The Nebraska lad stepped Into local wrestling circles last week In a semi-final engagement ngulnst the highly-touted Tony C'atnlano of Italy winning two oiu of three falls' by fouls, ond coining out of the bout well prnlsed for hie nmtwork. The card Is being offered at th populnr low ndinlsMin nites. Raj Frlsble will referee. SUI1 AGAINST ASHLAND!

N.w York Ci Test in On PORT -aH SLANTS 'W 1 -;bz Pan- Bill Terry borrowed a page from John McGraw's book on managing the Olant when he reached down to Philadelphia and picked up Dick Bar ren to fill tha gap at shortstop for the New York team. McGraw bought Dave (Beauty) Bancroft, one of his greatest shortstops, from the Phils. When Bartell dons a Giant uniform he will be following a long, Illus trious line of short-fielders. On the strength of his record with the Phils, he ought to "belong." Brilliant on the defense, he Is a real .300 hitter. Olant shortstop h' story Is studded with Inspiring names: John Mont gomery Ward, Jack Glasscock, Shorty Fuller, George Davis, Sammy Strang, BUI Dahlen, TllUe Shafer, Art Fletch er, Dave Bancroft and Travis Jackson. Ward la one of the best remember ed for he played on the first cham pionship Giant teams In 1888 and '89. McGraw always thought kindly of BUI Dahlen for he played short on McGraw's first championship club In 1004. Kartell's Spirit. Dahlen was a snorts top much on the order of Dick Bartell. a scrappy fellow with a penchant for becoming Involved with the opposing players. But BUI could play a lot of baseball and McGraw was not one to hate a bit of scrappine&s In his players. Fletcher was rated as McOraw's best shortstop uVUll Bancroft came along then It was a toss-up between the two. Jackson showed the spark of greatness but was annoyed by leg trouble much of his career. Bartell la just the type of ball player w'ao can revitalize the Giant team, w'.ilch faded so completely In the flna.l stage of the 1934 pennant race. Mild-mannered and quiet off the ball fkMd. Bartell la a different man once he feels his spikes dig tnto he diamond. Then every ball stame be comes a personal battle, worth spend ing jvery possible effort to win. O.'.ten his enthusiasm gets him Into hot water. His unwillingness to jlve way to the man on the base paths was responsible for his fracas with Linus Frey of the Brooklyn Dodgers, and has earned him the reputation of being free and loose with his spikes Fuel for (Hunts-Dodgers Fire. Incidentally, with feelings anything but cordial between the Dodgers and the Giants, the appearance of Bartell In the New York uniform la certain to add fuel to the (Ire. Brooklyn fans, who enjoyed a measure of re venge and satisfaction when. Casey Stengel's team defeated the Giant when It hurt the most and Just about ruined whatever chance the Giants had left of winning the pennant, will spare no effort to make BarteH'a visits to Ebbet'a Field as unpleasant us possible. Bartell Is a player well able to take oare of himself, and most likely to rise to the heights when the going gets tough. In the meantime the little inter- borough baseball feud is not going to hurt the attendance figures when the Giants and the Dodgers meet. Bty; lengue trades often have amus' Ins little sidelights. Dick Bartell and Johnny Verges, who changed uni form in the trade between the Phils and the Giants, have been fast friends since boyhood and played together on the same high school baseball team. 4 AS CHICAGO, Jan. 3.
