NKIIs, Aacoclnted Press Sports Writer. NEW YORK, Feb. T.iP) A squat, black man. wide of shoulder, out fumbling hi way, a cap drawn low over hi sightless eyes, following a piloting friend in the aporta department today. It was 8am Langfoid, the Boaton Tar Baby, once as groat a ring warrior as the heavyweights knew. He came for a check for $25 Baltimore admirer from the old days sent him. In care of the Associated Press, after learning that "Tham" was having a tough time of it, blind and helpless, holding hla Harlem lodgings and finding hta po'k chops. "Mighty nloe," said Sam. "Mighty nice. Ah still got friends." That's the same amount Langford got for his first professional flgnt in Boaton In 1901, when he knocked out Jack MoVlckers. He fought them all after that, from lightweights up through the heavyweights. He never weighed more than 170 pounds. Ho lost a 10-round decision early In hla career to Jack Johnson, knocked out Harry Wills couple of times. He fought for seven years with one eye and no one knew It after Fred Fulton connected with a right to his temple In 1917. He must have made hundreds of thousands. He got as high a 110,300 for flattening Ian Hatg, champion of England, In London In 1009. He's 49 now, absolutely destitute, and & cata ract has blinded the eye Fulton loft open. "First thing X learned," he said, "was you didn't break no knuckles hlttln 'em In the body. So I hit 'em there. They sure come down whsn you hit 'em right." The toughest fight he ever had wm the 1914 battle with Wills In Los Angeles, when he was floored three times In the first period, three more In the second, again in the third, and came back to knock the "Black Men ace" out in the 14th. . "Ah sure was glad to get rid of that man that night," he said. But the greateat fighter of thim all. In those days, was another negro. Joe Walcott, the barbadoe Demon, who never weighed a much as ..to pound, yet knocked out good heavy weight with a punch.

A splen. did start on the fund to send the Southern Oregon Normal school bas ketball team to the national A. A. V. tournament In Denver, March 18 to 33, waa made Tuesday when the Ash. land city council unanimously voted to arproprlate 1300 and donate the sum to the team. City Attorney Prank J. VanDyke Introduced the plan to the council, and pointed out the advertising bene fits that would accrue to the city if the team from Ashland entered the meet, and what unfavorable adver. tislnjt would be derived through fail ure to respond. The motion to grant the money was made by -Councilman Gerald Wenner. Other Cities to Help. It Is the hope of civic leaders and Normal school authorities that sim ilar amount may be obtained from other southern Oregon cities, for the Normal school Is considered to be representative of the whole district. The plan would provide for the apon- soring of two players by esch city and those players would carry the name or tnelr sponsoring city em blazoned across their basketball jer seys. In regard to the co-operation neces sary to raise the required funda, the Ashland Tidings yesterday snld edi torially: "Money is the stumbling block In many a good plan, and this la the situation as far aa the ent rance of the SONS basketbsll tesm In the national basketball tournament In Denver, according to Coach Hobson. Six hundred dollars, the amount required to defray the expenses to the tour nament, Is a lot of money, too. but It seems that there should be some plan whereby this amount could be raised by southern Ore gon supporters of the Norma! school. Two hundred dollars has been contributed by the city council. "Maybe a btg party or celebra tion or gathering of some sort, where the privilege would be ex tended for all to throw a dollar or more In the pot, could be staged, with Ashland. Medford, Grants Pass and all the Inter vening territory Joining to make possible this opportunity for the SONS to strut their stuff In fast company. "The writer cannot but remem ber a small city of 3.000 where we formerly lived, which raised 3.500 to .nd Its city high school band back east to participate In a national band contest. "Every cent of the aa.500 was contributed by the cltliens and business men of the one city of 1.000 population. That was an average of more than a dollar per eltlnsn, where as In this ease, In which Medford Is especially In terested, too, the per capita cost would be so much smaller."

IT WAS LINCOLN, wasn't it, who gave us that epigram about fooling some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time? Times have changed. Some people, today, can't be fooled at all. They are the ones who buy thoughtfully and spend wisely. They are guided by the most up-to-the-minute news about products, prices and values. They read the advertisements in the daily paper. Whether you're marketing for tonight's dinner, for a refrigerator or for a home the most reliable guides are printed right here in this paper for you. Make it a habit to shop at home, by newspaper, before you set out. It saves time . . . saves tiresome searching . . . and it saves real money. GIANT SONS QUINT TO ASHLAND, Ore. (AP) Coach How ard Hobson, whose Southern Oregon Normal basketball team has won 33 of Its last 33 games. Is rarely both ered with a player going "stale." Hla answer. In "new deal" par lance. Is that he uses a system of "long time planning." He alternates his players so that his first string lineup Is never "a closed corpora tion." His team, which won Its last 12 games against the strongest available competition, turned on the heat In hope of receiving another bid to attend the amateur athletic union national tournament In Denver. The Sons received a bid to the tournament two years ago after win ning It straight games, but the bid came too late. That was Hobson'a first year here. and to date his teams have won 66 of 66 games. Last season was cli maxed by 18 consecutive victories. This season his team dropped Its third game, but has won all others of 15 played. The star of stars during the three years has been Ward Howell, 6 foot 8 center who has averaged 14 points a game. He weighs 217 pounds strip ped and usually scores his most points against the toughest opposi tion.
