PAGE FOURTEEN' MEDFORD MATL TRFRUNE. MEDFORU. OREGON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8. 1935 Cavemen Cagers Will Invade Tigers' Lair for Second Game Tonight LOCALS PREPARED TO AVENGE DEFEAT OF EARLYSEASON Fast Combination Selected by Coach Burgher to Re pulse Grants Pass Outfit Main Game at 8 P.M. The Medford Tlgon and the Grants Pas Cavemen meet here tonight to settle old scores on the basketball court. In a previous game this year, the cavemen defeated the locals by a close score, with most of the Tiger Cuba seeing action, and the Burgher j melsters are out for blood to avenge that defeat. With what promises to be the fast est combination to start for Medford this season, the Cavemen are evl dently enough In for a hard time to defend their laurels tonight, and the game should be one of the best of the year to date. Recently the Cavemen defeated the powerful Klamath Falls five, and this, coupled with their win over Medford. puts them In the fore for conference standing. The only con ference game played by Medford was the one dropped to the Ncnnderthuls from the climate city, and tonight Is their chance to Improve the sltua tlon. something which they have promised to do. Smooth Combination With "Stretch" Ettengor, lanky center, probably out of the starting lineup, and Smith, rcgulnr guard twitched to the leaping position, a combination Is offered with Kunz mnn and VanDyke at guards and Luman and Scars or Campbell at forwards, which has displayed a smoothly clicking offense every time they have worked together this sea son. Smith, while not able to outjump opponents as ably as does Ettengcr. gets most of the tip-offs and usually Is pretty close to the high point col umn. H'a leaping turn shot from near the fouMlne and the corners Is thrilling to see. Kunzman has proven one of Med ord's most consistent players, and has almost entirely overcome his ear lier tendency to travel with the ball. He Is a guard of merit. VanDyke fine Guard VanDyke. the man who helped trounce Ashland with his super-human efforts last year Is a guard most difficult to get by. and his assists, long shots, and work under the bas ket have contributed substantially to Medford wins this yenr. Luman. nt forward, has proven one, of the Tigers' best bets at forward. Ineligible until mld-sonson, he has practiced diligently with the squad, and is an Important cog In whatever combination Burgher chooses to toss Into the fray. His passing and ridbr work are exceptional, Sears, at the other forward posi tion. Is a recent transfer from Phoe nix, and one of the best ball hawfca on the squad. His forte is taking the pill sway from opponents, and ha Is generally the key-man o:i plays starting from the tip-off. iv.tf ability to leap high Into the air. nnd deflect a high shot to a teammate has prov en Invaluable this year. Campbell, who may start In place of Sears, has Improved rapidly since the first of the ytar, and works well In the combination. He Is tnll and quick, and hM managed to make many assists In ench game In which he has seen action. Word from Grnnts Pass Indicates that tho Cavemen bonat the best ma terial In Beveral years. They have coma from a dis-Jolntcd outfit at tho first of the year to a dangerous threat at tho present time, and In tend to wallop the Tigers tonight.

Instead of basking In the bowling limelight with other exhibition stars, the man who tops the American Bowling Congress In averages for a span of 36 years. Is content to remain at home where he Is surrounded with pictures of countless bowling "greats." Mementoes of the past and present, they are his companions. The pictures Include slch bowling Immortals aa Nick Burk, Jess I'rlt chett, Joe Fllger. Glenn Riddell. Jimmy Smith, Jimmy Blouln. Billy Sixty, Mort Luby. "Uncle Joe" Thum, "Count" Gengler, Bnrney Splnella and Leo Luecker. Llndsey lives and talks bowling and everyone In Stamford knows tho bowling champion He has rolled 15 perfect games In his career and apparently Is, as good today as he was 30 years ago. Only recently ho scored two 300 games within a week one in New York and the othvr In Buffalo. Just glance over a few of the high lights of his long bowling carper: Has an average of 201 pins for 35 5ears' competition In American Bowl ing Congress tournaments. Attended 30 consecutive national championship meetings, until the Ill ness of his wire In 1038 forced him to cancel the trip to Kansas City. Won A. B.

He topped Knox by 647 pins In the first half of the match only to allow the Phlladelphlan to even the. score In the 60th game. Knox drew a 4-6 split In the ninth frame while Llndsey struck out to win In the tenth frame by a margin of a few pins. In a match with Jimmy Smith he trailed by 88 pins, going Into the final game. Smith scored 300 but Llndsey rolled 90 more and won the match. He topped Joe Falcaro's 378 by a single pin In a match bowled on tho White Elephant alleys In New York City. Won first prtee $1,000 in the Peter sen claaslo last year at Detroit. Roll ed an all-event total of 1.909 at Columbus two years ago and came right back with 1,838 at Peoria. That ought to be enough to con vince anyone that Mort Llndsey Is a top flight bowler if ever anyone was. He rates Jimmy Smith, "Count" Oengler and Jimmy Blouln the three greatest bowlers, in my opinion no list of "bowling greats" Is complete with Lindsey's name. Llndsey, naturally enough, strings along with the old-timers and doubts If the present generation gets the same "kick" out of the sport despite the fact that there are many more bowlers and more places to roll. During tho last 10 yearsthe aver age entry list for the American Bowl ing Congress has been 3.065 teams, 3.434 double pairs, and 6.8fl3 indi viduals. The tournament In Syra cuse In March and April has already attracted over - 3.000 entries and promises to go well over the usual figure. 13 points to 13 for Willie Jones, lend Ing conference scorer.

In the main event last night at the Armory, but when big, mean Abe Kaplan of New York floored Referee Ray Friable with a haymaker to the chin. It cost him the match. They split the first two falls of the bout, and had been ex chaining punches for two minutes In the third fall when Friable objected to some of the foul tactics the well-known Jewish Gent was using. Able let fly a wild one that clipped the referee on the chops, dazing him only a few second before he awarded Sad Sam the contest. For a while following the decision It looked like a free-for-all in the Armory, as the fans came around the ring to protest Kaplan's behavior, out Friable and members of the box lag commission straightened matters out There was very little wrestling dur ing the match. Kaplan started It out with choking and slugging, and grad ually worked up the usually calm southerner into a frame of mind wherein he was seeing red. He turn ed loose some lireworks of hU own. which accounted for the second fall He coaxed It out In seven minutes by sitting on Kaplan's neck and pin ning his shoulders. Able won the first tumhle In 15 minutes with two clever body slams and a press. During this stanza the referee saw nearly as much action rs the wrestlers, finding himself in ev eral tangles between the two rageful opponents. Kaplan took a dislike to the referee from the first gong, near ly pinning him once during the first fall, and climaxing his hostilities with the fateful uppercut. Kaplan weighed 319, and Sad Sam 308. Pete Bek-ast.ro, rough and ready Italian, at last found an equal aa far as fistic combat Is concerned, and ended the first bout In a rough and tumble outside the ring with giant Hal Rumberg of Spokane. BecaMse the grapple rs refused to re-enter the ring and nearly squashed ringside spectators. Referee Frlsble called the match no contest, and made no de cision. 1 Belcastro also split the first two falls, and were just starting the third period when they rolled out of the ropes In a clinch and fell to pum mel) ng each other on the floor. Then they got up and went at each other seilously, one blow from Belcastro knocking his heavier opponent Into the second row. Frisble and some of the fans held the two apart and the boxing commission made It's appear ance In this bout, sending both grap plers to the showers. Belcastro. weighing 104 agalns. Rumberg's 228. took the first fall in 12 minutes with a series of well-executed drop-kicks, after faking his op ponent off guard. When the bellig erent tlallan tried another drop-kick In the middle stanza, however, he landed on the back of his neck, and had such a headache that Rumberg applied a slam with little trouble to win the fall in four minutes.

Humbug Mountain, In the main event of the CCC smoker at the Elks' club Thursday evening. The flht was by no means a one sided affair, for Glabb came out of his corner at the opening bell and rocked DeShlelds repeatedly with solid blows to the head. The two traded punches on an even basts, neither paying attention- to defense, but Olabb appeared to have the ede in the first canto. . The second round started fast and De Shields suddenly broke through with a resounding smack to the Jaw that floored Olabb. The Humbug gladiator arose, glassy-eyed, and De Shields administered the coup de grace with another haymaker tlm sent Glabb down for keeps. Palermo, 124.

(AP) Asa Long has upset the assumption that a checker player acquires real finesse only af ter his beard Is long enough to tuck under the checkerboard. At 30 mere boyhood In the realm of slow moves and quick Jumps Long Is checker champion of the world. That, as you can see. takes In considerable territory. He retained his crown In match play at Detroit, and the dark-haired, stern-faced champion attributes his success to a trouncing he took at the age of 13. Thanks to the coaching of his fa ther and grandfather, he considered himself a right salty checker-pusher and wheedled his father Into letting him play the stars at the Toledo Checker club. What the class C players did to 12-year-old Asa left his self-esteem in tatters, it was then he girded his loins, or whatever a checker player does to express "the "ol fight." and beijan the upward climb. Six months passed; months In which Asa Long was studying sci entific checkers and working out at home. When he faced the class c boys again he dazzled them with his broken-field Jumping and long range planning. Two years later he was city champion, and at 15 he was state champion. National championship came to Long when he was 18 years old. To day he Is In the king row. at least one jump ahead of the field. Ashland Captain Too III To Play ASHLAND. Feb. 8 (Spl.)
