MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MERFOIfl) OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1935. Tigers Host to Mount Shasta Tonight, AH-Stars Saturday Night PAGE TEN FLASHY IRISH 10 QUINT Clash Tonight With Shasta Starts at 8 o'clock Saturday Tilt at 9-Pre-ilminaries in Both Games (By Dick Applegate.) A snowbound Dununulr basketball tfnm today telefrraphed Coach Bur gher at the Medford high school that they would be forced to cancel their scheduled appearance against the Red and Black here, and Burgher, becom ing adept through practice In han dling cancellations, promptly signed the flashy St. Mary's AU-Stars lor that date, thus Indicating that the Tiger mentor Is something of a show man, besides being an exceptional coach. In many local appearances, the AU Stars have never failed to give a good account of themselves, and have be come favorites with local fans. In a close game with that team last Fri day night, the Bengals emerged vic tors by a narrow squeak, coming from behind in the last minute to win, 28 31. Many of the rall-blrda doubt If they can do It again, but admit that the game will be a "natural," as far aa Interest and thrills are concerned. It would be difficult to sign another team on such short notice that could upply as much local color or sport for Med ford fans. preliminaries Signed. The game Saturday night will be at 0 o'clock, to accomodate business people unable to attend games start ing at an earlier hour, It was an-, nounced. The game tonight with Mount Shasta will, begin at 8 o'clock, Preliminaries for both encounters will tart sn hour earlier than the main 1 vent. The Mount Shasta five arrived hore today, and are reported In great nape for the encounter. They boast . the best team In years, a formidable threat in that the members have been playing together for four years, and have won two northern California championships, and are securely launched on what looks like a third win. The Tigers emerged winner by a mere two point In the last encoun ter with the Snowmen, and that was when the same team was In It early youth, a fact which points to a busy evrnlng for the Burghermelstcrs. Shasta has had a tough schedule this year, and has acquitted Use IT nobly, losing only to Ashland and Klamath Falls, teams that are de clared unbeatable by prognostic. tors from their own section. Earlier encounters tills year hav. ended with the mountain men or. the long end of a 40-25 score- again.-' a fast Redding outfit, a 43-18 thrash lng administered Yreka, and a sur prising but thorough beating dlahed out to Chlco Normal school, a team which had previously defeated the brilliant Sacramento Junior col lego quint. Mlinsta Cxpeoti Win. With such an array erf victories to their credit, the Shasta outfit expects a win tonight, but the tight defense displayed by the Tigers In former games may prove the carborundum in the transmission of the highly geared snowman offense. A new combination ha been tried this week by Burgher, using VanDyke at the guard position In alternation with Smith and Kuhzman, but the odsd are against him starting tonight, in that he will not be eligible for conference competition until mid year, and the others can use the practice. The probable starting lineup for Medford: Lewis and ScAra, forwards; Smith and Kunnman, guards; Ettenger, cen ter. The Shasta lineup has not been announced. E GREAT ATHLETE WASHINGTON.

When I get around to tt I'm going to get In touch with one of the 21 billiard stars who are touring the country giving free Instructions to amateurs as part of the "better bil liards campaign." I can lust picture the amazed ex pression on the face of my good friend.

Maybe I'll pattern my game after Johnny Layton or Welker Coch ran. They're good, too. Because of their activities In the direction of Instructing, the billiard professionals have abandoned all championships this year. They have gone professorial instead of profes sional. One of the amazing things about championship billiards is there dopttn't seem to be any age limit. Willie Hoppe won world's title at IB; Alfredo DcOro at 73 Is still a good match player. In fact, he is the present eastern section three- cushlcn king. DeOro won his first world's cham pionship, the pocket billiard title, back In 1800 and held It for 10 years. In 1013, a mere stripling of 62, he became the world's three- cushion billiard champion, to hold the title for three years. Probably one of the moat Interest ing billiard aces playing today Is the armless George Sutton, who has celebrated his 04th birthday. Al though both his arms were ampu tated almost at tho elbow In a lum ber mill accident, the gray-halred veteran Is rated the peer of masse shot-makers. He lias trnvclcd around the world for the Jast 4fi years giving exhibi tions In billiards. Despite his In firmity, he has taken his share of matches from tho top-notchers.

AT FOR SKIERS IS WORD A new fail of snow during the week, Increasing the snow depth to more than four feet, will probably lure many winter sports lovers to Union Creek resort this week-end, where Dis trict Ranger J. P. "Jess" DeWitt says Ideal skiing conditions exist. The Crater Lake highway has been cleared to the Diamond lake Junc tion, aaid at that point a wide turn-Ing-arounU place ho been cleared, DeWitt said. At Union Creek the highway ha been widened for park ing, and there Is also room for many cars on the highway near the ski .run recently completed by the forest service. Signatures at the register booth there show that approximately 100 people from Medford visited the ski run last Sunday. A large shelter shed and fireplace, with an abundance of wood, is provided for the use of visi tors, and it is said that the Increased depth of snow offers some of the btnl fikiing in southorn Oregon. Snow plows are constantly at work keeping the highway clear, but due to low temperature at that altitude, tee and frozen snow occur on '.he cleared highway, necessitating extreme care In driving, to avoid skidding. "Do not exceed a 30-mile per hour speed, and keep your foot off the brake," Ranger DeWitt warned. Use Mall Irioune want ads .HINGS you find a ready market in the Mail Tribune Want Ads.

Drops Former Op- position to Athletes Going Abroad in Pre-Olympic Yer Many Invitations By DANIEL J. FERRIS Secretary-Treasurer, Amateur Athletic Union NEW YORK, Jan. 18. (APJ One of the reasons why this, should be a great competitive year, " in amateur sports, Is the Inducement to our lead ing athletes to gain places on teams to be selected for foreign trips. The A. A. U. has discarded Its former op position to having our athletes go abroad In a pre-Olymplc year and there will be at least a half dozen expeditions to Europe, Japan and Asia Minor. Sweden Invites An invitation has been received from Sweden to have the A. A. U. send another team of six or seven track men across the Atlantic to com pete In Stockholm In a big three- day meet next July and thereafter tour Europe. ' Finland, which is not on the best of terms with Sweden athletically, has asked the A. A. U. to send a team of five or six track and field men to tour their country, and the French A. A. U. is anxious o have a small team tour France. Belgium and Swit zerland. Holland. Czechoslovakia Hungary and Norway also have made Inquiries as to whether the A. A. U. would send any teams abroad this year. Greeks to Travel A team of Greek-American athletes will compete in Groece in July. Ths international student games at Buda pest In August will attract some Americans and a large squad of Jew ish athletes will leave New York early In March to compete In international games in Palestine in April. With the exception of the Jewish team, the athletes who will be sent abroad as members of tho different team will be selected on the strength of the performances In the national A. A. U. track and field competitions no longer need ... 10 at Lincoln, Neb., early In July. A team of 14 swimmers will be se lected following the A. A.

U. middleweight and heavyweight champion weight lifters, Steve Kratkowsky of Detroit and Wil liam Good of York, Pa., have accepted the Invitation to part4clpate in a dis play of strength in London the mid dle of March. 4 MD 10 Promoter Mack LUIard Is back from Portland, bringing word that he has signed up Sad Snm Lethers, popular rubber-legged Texan, for a main event appearance next Thurs day night at the armory against "Gentleman" Al Karasick of Russia. In the semi-final bout, Harry Kent, giant ex-Oregon State athlete, will tussle with Tony Catalano, rough neck Italian grappler. The Russian Lion and limber Sam wrestled here once before, and put on such a battle that fans have de manded more ever since. When these two artists of the groan and grunt game come to grips, it's the tall and the short of the profession. Lethers, one of the most popular wrestlers ever to come here, stands fully eight Inches higher than Karasick, but the dwarfish foreigner is capable of tak ing care of himself even tn the grip of Sad Sam's famous legs. Harry Kent, weight about 235, who has been seen here before. Is remem bered as a hard man to stop, pos sessing besides his weight a knowl edge of the scientific points of the game. His opponent for next Thurs day night has been seen here twice, roting unquestionably the roughest If not the toughest rascal in both bouts. While Michigan State college foot ballers played in the Spartans' 1931 games, only three started every game, and only nine played at least part of every game. Don Faurot, new University of Mis souri football coach, had the unique record of having played varsity foot ball nt three different Missouri high schools.
