SONS Play Crack Union Oil Team Here in Benefit Tilt Thursday
E
FOR LOCAL FANS
Portland Outfit Eager to
Avenge Previous Defeats
Game Scheduled to
Start at 7:30 P. M
Wagner to Meet Italian
Med ford basketball fans at laet
have chance to see the flanhy Ash
land Normal team In action without
the bother of driving to the LIthta
city, for the SONS are scheduled to
meet the (ant breaking Union Oiler
team from Portland at the high
school gym here Thursday night
Twice before the two tenma have
met, with the HONS on the long
end of the score In both encounters,
the first game 35-20, and the next
by the narrow aqueck of 33-30.
Very little dilation, It uny, la
needed on the merits of ilia Ashland
squad, they having won something
like 34 out of their last 30 starts,
losing only by narrow margins to
Oregon, one gnme out of four, and
splitting a two game series with
Chlco Stote last week-end.
An effort Is being made to send
the Normal squad to the national
tournament In Denver this year, and
a local committee, headed by Dr. E.
R. Durno, and with A. H, Banwell,
has secured the Union OH team to
meet the SONS here to raise funds. ,
The same two teams will meet In
Klamath Falls on Wednesday night
for the same purpose.
The Oilers are rated among the
best on the coast, and are considered
belter than the average college team,
several such teams having dropped
games to the Portland outfit already
this year. They boast many ex-col
lege stars, among whom are Howard
Orelner. former Idaho star, R'.ilph
Calrney of Washington. Jack Rob
ertson of Oregon, and Buck O. ay son,
Hkeet O'Connell, King Bailey, and
Bob Thomas of Oregon Stata, besides
other well known college, players,
None of the aggregation have been
out of school long, so thoy can hardly
be considered as "has been."
Although the Oilers were defeat
ed twice earlier In Wit, season, It Is
stated that they have made rapid
progress, and are expected to give
the Hobsonltcs a wild struggle when
they tangle thin week.
A group of Ashland Normal girls
will be in Mtdforu some time before
the game to canvass the city, selling
tickets to the game, and a down
town ticket office will be established,
according to Durno. Admission prices
will be low with special rate for
Normal and high school students.
In order not on conflict with the
Elks boxing smoker or the wrestling
matches at the armory, the game has
been called for 7:30, allowing ample
time for attendnnce at those other
events, Durno stated.

BY ASHL
RECORD 10 DATE
Friday night of this week will find
the game that Medford and Ashland
fans have been looking forward to,
and talking about, since the first of
the year, and In fact since the last
of last year, when the Medford re
serves scored a surprise win over the
Grizzlies after the first team had
been ousted from competition for
barn painting activities.
Such a reversal, at least accord
lng to the rall-blrds. Is about all
that can save the Medford hide this
year, in view of the comparative rec-
oraa or the two teams. But compara
tive records are mere chaff before
the wind when the Medford-Ashland
feud cornea to a head. Comparative
scores frequently deceive In any
sport, as far as that goes, it being
mere child's play to prove, by that
means, that the team at the bottom
of the heap Is umpty-steen points
superior to the one on top. surprise
wins invariably gum up the accur
acy of the comparison system. And
keeping surprise wins from entering
into basketball life is a physical, and
even a mental. Impossibility.
Compartlve scores, taking the fact
that Grants Pass defeated Medford,
and Ashland walloped Grants Pass,
seems to prove that Ashland has all
the advantage. But take the fact that
in a later encounter, Medford wal
loped Grants Pass decisively. Grants
Pass walloped Klamath Falls, and
Klamath Falls dropped two games
to Ashland by margins of 7 and 8
points, and the comparison favors
Medford.
Bo nothing is proved by that
method. Neither Is snythlng proved
by the fact that Ashland Is already
talking about "when we go to the
tournament." although It has
psychological effect of some kind
when the locals overhear It, It is
claimed.
One of the questions Medford
hopefuls ara asking is "will Medford
be able to present anyone good
enough to stop Hardy and Hoxle?"
Some say that to atop those two,
the Tigers will have to Ignore the
other throe members of the quint,
and that is apt to prove dangerous.
Others say that Smith can stop them
both without even breathing hard.
This Is a bold claim, Inasmuch as
no one has been able to do so yet
this year. Others say that the game
will be so rough no one will have
a chance to do much scoring, unless
they chuck them In rrom the mid
dle of the floor.
At any rate, the game should
prove interesting, and will undoubt
edly be the most thrilling of the
season. If the Tigers spark like they
did In the Grants Pass and Klam
ath return games, they should win.
If they don't. It may prove Just
another basketball game.

NEW YORK. Feb. 19. (AP) With
only three minor changes, the Nat
ional football rules committee has
approved of the sport as It Is played
and for the first time in Its 30-year
existence failed to adopt a major al
teration. Following a three day session at
Absecon, N. J., William S. Langford.
secretary of the rules governing body,
announced the committee had turn
ed thumbs down on the msjorlty of
tne proposed changes.
One concession was made to the
advocates of greater altitude for the
passing attack. The so-called "dead
ball" rule was qualified so a runner
who Is on his feet even though held
by an opponent, may run, pass or
kick until the whistle is blown.
"This." said the committee's state
ment, "will glvo a runner who has
been tackled but not thrown a great
er opportunity to break away or make
a pass, which will further encourage
the open game."
The other two alterations are de
signed to cover technicalities In the
existing rules. One clarifies tha rule
governing the Interchanging of line
men and backs by defining the posi
tions of the center, guards and tack
les as "those occupied by these play
era when they originally entered the
game, with the further provision that
the field captain must designate,
upon request of officials, which play
ers actually are the linemen."
The general rule under which fouls
committed by both teams offset each
other waa changed to Include the
following exception: "should a punt
ed ball be illegally touched (downed)
and then there be a personal foul b
opponents, the captain of the kick
ing team may refuse the offsetting
penalty. In such case the ball would
belong to the receiving team at the
spot where It was allegedly touched."

As the northern division conference
in the county secondary high school
basketball tournament draws Into t:ie
final rounds, a check-UD on the
standings reveals that the race Is be
tween Sams Valley and Eagle Point,
due to the fact that Butte Falls dis
banded Its team as a disciplinary
measure, and that Sams Valley beat
Prospect.
Should Sams Valley defeat Eagle
Point In their forthcoming game, a
play-off would be necessary, as the
Cheesemakers won from the Sams
Valley quintet earlier in the season.
The dope points to Sams Valley, as
that team has defeated every other
opponent in the northern division.
The playoff game would probably be
held here on the Junior high school
floor.
