STOCKS T In Ashland Game Tonight E TDE fV"-,; Olcon's Terrible Swedei, the barn storming Independent basketball team that baa won over 1600 games in the past 14 years, will meet the Lamport's All -Stars from Med ford In a game at the Ashland junior high school gym tonight at 7:45. The Swedes were ruled out as com petitors with any team wishing to re tain their amateur standing, so the gams originally scheduled with the SONS was cancelled, and the Lam port's outfit substituted. The St. Mary's All-Stars were considered, but refused for the same reason that the Normal outfit advanced. Lamport's All-Stars played last year under the name of Texaco All Stars, and boast several stars from former local high school teams. Archie Lalng at center played on a championship team from Medford, as did Herm Newland and Vlrg Swan son, starting forwards. Newland was chosen on the second all-state team while playing for the Red and Black. I and Tully Williams at guard was all-state for three years In a row Del Anderson, at the other guard position, made all-state ranking one year, a record for the squad which ounds Impressive. The Swedes boast the tallest bas ketball player In captivity, "Big Boy' Stoelting, 6 feet 10 Inches, who han dles a basketball like most kids do A baseball. Big Boy Campbell, a "small" lad ef 6 feet 8 inches, Is hailed (by the 6wedes) as the greatest center in America, but the Lamport bunch think that Archie Lalng will take the ttpoff regularly, as he has done H the paat. In the 1033-'34 season the Swedes played before 100,000 spectators, and In the 14 years that they have been organizes have performed In front of over 1,000.000. Their average height la 6 feet 5 Inches, the shorty of the quad being Carl Howard at 0 feet and 3 Inches. The SONS' first and second teams will play the preliminary, starting at T o'clock. They will play 10-mlnute halves so ihat the whole thing will be over In time to allow the valley people to attend the president's ball In this city later. The proceeds of tonight's game will go toward a fund to send the SONS' toam to the na tional tournament. With an impressive record behind them, the Swedes say: "We tank we go home with the Lamport hide." Lamport's don't seem to think so, but the game should be worth seeing.

Phone 1300 for Towing or Wrecker Service Anywhere Anytime I Promoter Mack LUlard has succeed ed in bringing many good matches to the Medford armory during his career In the "rnssltn profession but only occasionally Is lie able to stack up two grip and grimace artists In what the fans call a "natural" match. It is the belief of many that this Is what Llllard ha done In signing Belligerent Pete Belcastro of Sacra mento to meet Sad Sam Lethers of Texas In a return bout, for the main event of Thursday's card. Belcastro and Lethers are gunning for each other since their last tussle here. Snd Sam won, but received Burt. kicking and mauling before thr end that he still believes he has a score to settle with the rascally Pete. Belcastro, who Incidentally Is In better physical condition now than at any time during the four years he has been wrestling. Is satisfied that he will be abte to elude slender Sam's famous "rubber" legs and get In enough drop-kicks to win the match. Although the main event would ordinarily satisfy a promoter In his quest for top-notch wrestling talent, Llllard has gone a step further and obtained Abe Kaplan, New York's fa mous "Jewish Gont," for the other half of the program. Knplan will tangle with colorful Paul Boesch of Brooklyn, noted for his own drop kicking. EX-TIGERSTARS ED' A signal honor has been bestowed upon three former football stars at Medford high school by the letter men's association of the University of Oregon, who have invited Bob Htn man, Burdette Kind rod and Bill Bates to a week-end on the Oregon campus.

Burgher placed five cubs on the main squad to reinforce ! the Tiger cage team, weakened by the : grauatlon of Steuart and Hinman. Hicks, Baker, Ayres, Johnson and ' Dlckerson were all called Into active ' service on the Medford varsity after their fighting display of basketball 1 against Grants Pass last Friday night Becoming eligible only yesterday Sam Van Dyke and Bill Luman were : switched to posts on the first string. I replacing Harvey 8ears and Ray j Lewis. This new setup places Lu- man and Smith at forward positions, I Van -Dyke and Kunzman at guards, 1 with "Stretch" Ettlnger Jumping cen- t ter. Coach Burgher has excellent mate- rial this season but, for some un-1 known reason, up to the present time ' the team hardly brings back memo- rlea of the Calllson reign, when every J other player was all-state. It Is ob vious that Burgher Is one of the bet ter basketball Instructors In the state and could take his present team far were they to fall In line and put out a more inspired brand of ball. Red Scheel, a product of Coach Burgher's teaching, rated all-state guard In the 1933-1933 season. Alton Llndley, Tommy White. George Har rington and Odd Hughes, all ex-Med-ford high stars, have found berths on freshman and varsity teams on several coast college varsity teams. If the psychological effect desired from the elevation of the subs is realized, first and second string mem bers will become less sure of their positions. They will strive to hold them and will come to understand that they are playing for the Med ford high school and not for per sonal glory. The Chemawa Indian school delega tion of basketeera will arrive In this city next Friday for a two-game se ries. The winning or losing of these two games will have no bearing on the decision of the Southern Oregon conference or of the team chosen to play at the Oregon state tournament the middle of March. 1 BOWLING The Senior Eagle bowling tenm made a clean sweep over the Lum bermen In their City Bowling lengur match at the Smoke House Ins' night with Keasler of the Eagles en tering the charmed circle of 600 bowlera with games of all. 181 and alt for a match total of 603.
