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.

As much as Mort Llndsey would
like to accept the Bowling Proprie
tors association's bid to make a tour
of the country ha does not feel that
he can afford to leave his own rec
reation rooms In Stamford, Conn.
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

Llndsey lives and talks bowling
and everyone In Stamford knows tho

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.

Philadelphia. 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

He could get away with many

Texan grappler. 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.

TROUNCING AT 12
EADED-ASA LONG
TO CHECKER FAME
TOLEDO, O. (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
