INT
ASHLAND, Jan. 35. (Spl.) No
game with Olson's Terrible Swedes
next Monday night, la the announce
ment Coach Howard Hobson brings
back from Portland.
Skirmishes with the A. A. U., In
which the Sweden came out on the
short end of the stick, have been re
sponsible for the cancellation of the
game. Amateur Athletic Union offic
ials have proven that the traveling
team la ot professional status, and
that college or Independent teams
who play them would lose their ama
teur standings.
Amateur cards and traveling cards,
good only for at days of continuous
moving about, must be carried by
the barnstorming outfits, and the
Swedes cannot conform with the re
quirements. Hobby states that he
and hla boya refused to Jeopardize
their standing with the union by
going through with the game.
The big reason why Hobby Is ao
particular .about his team's Simon
pure character, la the possibility of
an Invitation to the national A, A. U.
basketball tournament In Denver In
March. Correspondence between the
Southern Oregon Normal and the
tournament officials has Indicated
that the Sons have an excellent
chance to be chosen as one ct the 32
teams of the country to get the
chance to enter the tourney.
The recent conquest of the best
hoop squads of Portland boosts the
Sons' charces mightily, and they're
not going to risk the taint of pro
fessionalism by playing the Swedes
or any other doubtful team.
Hobby's mighty proud of his hoys
after they licked Multnomah club.
54 to 32 Inst Saturday night, and
Union Oil 35 to 20 on Monday and
33 to 30 on Tuesday night, although
he said the Sons played "fairly good
ball."
He gave a fine tribute to the Oilers
by saying thy formed the best Inde
pendent team he had ever seen, with
eight three-year varsity men from
Oregon. Oregon State, Washington
and Idaho.

TECHNICAL KAYOS
In the second of a series of smok

technical knockouts and three de
cisions featured the continuance of
the elimination contests of CCC tal
cnt In the fight card Inst night.
The scheduled three-round bout
between Donovan of headquarters and

ment derived from many sudden trips

by a technical knockout In the third
round.
In the last and main event of the
ca rd . Liner of Indian Creek won a
close decision over Beal of headquar
ters, the bout going the full three
rounds. Both men were fast and
hard hitters, but according to the
Judges, Liner held the ede.
The first knockout of the evening
came In the first round of the Moreno-Buddy
Jack go. Moreno shot
several stiff rights to the midsection
of Appleates fighter, sending him
to the floor twice. The referee stop
ped the fight, giving the honors to
Moreno of Hilt. .
In the second bout, Rosen of Hilt
declsloned Butts of Carberry in a
throe - round slugfest. with Butts
mostly on the receiving end. The
curtnln-ralscr saw Dunbar of head
quarters displaying nice timing and
precision to win a decision over Holly
wood of Spring Flat.
The flfiht card was officially open
ed when citfi t men stepped Into the

Although there have been over 100
cases of smallpox reported in the
state of Washington, there have been
none so far in this county, according
to county physician C. I. Drummond.
In a statement made this morning.
Doctor Drummond stated that while
there Is little If any danger from that
dread disease at the present time. It
would be a wise move for those not
yet vaccinated for smallpox to be
treated at once.
Many of the rural schools have
already been vaccinated, and the rest
will be in the near future. V
The difference between the ras'ii
of chicken pox, (several cases of
which have been reported In the
county), nnd a mild case of smallpox
is saia to oe sngnt. All cases thought
to be either chicken or smallpox
should be reported immediately, the
doctor said.'
There is no great danger to be
feared at the present time, but It is
best to be on the snfe side, Drum
mond pointed out.

It' the Best To Bn
FOR ONLY FALL IN
Sad Sam Let hers, tall Texas Br tip
pler, probably saw the longest one
minute of his life in the main
event of the wrestling card last night
at the armory, for he stuck It out
for Just about that length of time
flat on the mat with "Gentleman"
Al Karaslck, Russia, cinching down on
him with a Boston crab and thereby
won the match, by virtue of the fact
that he had obtained the first and
only fall in S3 minutes.
When the grapplera re-entered the
ring for the last five minutes of the
tussle, all Lethers had to do waa to
keep his shoulders off the mat until
the bell rang, but he found this
pretty hard when Karaslck. with only
one minute to go, applied the devas-.
tating crab hold. The midget Rus
sian, falling to get enough leverage
on Sad Sam's "rubber" legs, was un
able to mafce his big opponent pat
the canvas, although Sam was badly
crippled when the gong finally
sounded.
There was plenty of action and
plenty of comedy in the match,
which waa not only faster but more
of a grind than the first time these
two veterans met here, tugging and
puffing to a draw. They wrestled on
very nearly even terms during the
first period, which ended when Um
ber Sam secured a double arm bar
on the midget and held htm on his
back for the count.
Karaslck, 190'4, displayed even
more than his usual amount of en
ergy, and Sad Sam, 208, also seem 3d
in fine fettle. Judging from the way
the two scampered and rolled obout,
often ending up in comical tangles.
One high light was a mlxup with
the ropes that put Karaslck out of
commission temporarily with his
neck and arrrts well twisted up in the
top two strands, after Lethers had
tried to twirl him out of the ring.
Only once did Sam secure his fa
vorite rocking-chair scissors, but Kar
aslck proved his stamina by resisting
it for four minutes until he was able
to crawl undar the ropes. Karaslck
surprised the tall Texan nearly out
of his boots when, reversing Sad
Sam's own favorite trick, he actually
stepped out of a wrlstlock. .
Agreeing with Lethers that the bout
was real work, Knraslck summed up
his opposition afterwards with: "That
man, he's be?g!' '
In a farce preliminary. Harry Kent,;
235-pound ex-Oregon State athlete. I
won two straight falls on fouls fromj
Tony Catalano, roughneck Italian, al
though the latter could have taken
both tumbles had he been satisfied
with strnight wrestling.
Each time he applied what would
otherwlso have been a winning hold,
the 219-pound meanlc supplemented
tt with slugging and kicking. The
first tumble ended in five minutes,
shortly after Catalano connected a
hard Jab to Kent's bread basket, and
the second fall was over In six when
Tony persisted with a choke hold.
Ray Frisbie was arbiter in both
matches.

Twenty-five separate families of

INVASION OF
G. PASS II
(By Dirk Applegate.)
What probably will be a revamped
Medford hiffh school basketball team
will tangle tonight with the rapidly
improving Grants Pass Cavemen. In
the northern" city at 8 o'clock. Tie
Burgher squad has been working
madly all week to Iron out weak
nesses In passing snd floor work,
and extra stress has been put upon
the completing of foul shots, to give
the Tiger outfit a more lethal scoring
attack.
With the best material the Climate
City has boasted In years, they en
counter Medford tonight with the in
tention of handing Burgher's charges
a sound thumping If they can. natur
ally, but the Tiger defense should put
a decided crimp in those aspirations.
A different attitude on the part of
his charges has been promised by
Burgher, and a possible shift of the
starting lineup. A better feelliv?
among the players Is being mani
fested, ho said, and he expects to put
the fastest scoring combination on
the floor that he has shown to date.
Tomorrow night, Saturday, Weed
high will invade southern Oregon to
take a crack at the Tiger pelt in a
game starting at 9 o'clock, at the
high school gym here. Weed lost a
close game to Ashland recently, and
reports indicate that they have e
good team.
While Luman and VanDyke will not
be eligible for the game tonight, they
will be for the Weed encounter, and
Hinman and Steuart will see their
last games for the Red and Black on
Saturday, giving the Burg her meisters
a full strength squad for the Weed
game for the only time this year.
The Medford squad has shown
rapid Improvement In every game ao
far this year, with the greatest strides
forward having been taken during the
past week. They seem to be pointing
for the conference ames. and a!so
hope to get every bit of advantageous
practice from the non-conference tilts.
Many local fans are planning on
going to Grants Pass tonight, and
the prospect of a fast game here to
morrow assures a largo crowd.
When the 1935 football season rolls
around at Notre Dame it's almost a
certainty that Coach Elmer La yd en
will drill his charges on the Import
ance of the point after touchdown.
The Irish made 17 totichdowns Inst
fall, but added only six extra points,
and lost to Texas, 7-6. but the margin
of the extra point.
