Clash Tonight With Shasta

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.

One of theae fine days I nm going
to satisfy a secret ambition and learn
seme of the fine points of billiards.
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. J, C, Hoffmnn, the next time
he Invites me out to the studio for
a friendly game, only to see me pull
few of Willie Hoppe's pet trick
shots. 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.
Another nf the bllllard-playlng

has held many chnmpionships since

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.

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

Hungary and Norway also have made
Inquiries as to whether the A. A. U.
would send any teams abroad this

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

sessing besides his weight a knowl

game. His opponent for next Thurs
