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.

Rumor became fact this week when
Coach Darwin K. 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
