Before a large and enthusiastic
crowd at the senior high school gym
last night, the championship bad
minton teams of PortUn and Se
attle, en route to San Francisco and
Pasadena for the Pacific coaat title
finals, put on a thrilling exhibition
of the game, the first to be viewed
by many of those present.
"Helno" Fluhrer, acting as master
of ceremonies. Introduced Hamilton
Law, as the "local boy who made
good." Law received a rousing hand
from the audience. Others Intro
duced Included Mr. and Mrs. Keith
Weston, mixed doubles tltllsta of
Seattle, and VI McCarl and Bert
Barkhuff, lady champions from the
northern city. Del Barkhuff, presi
dent of the Seattle club, was also
Introduced.
In an exhibition game of mixed
doubles, Mr. and Mrs. Keith Weston
took a game from Law and Bert
Barkhuff, after which an even more
exciting game of singles was played.
In which weRton defeated Law, lS-ia,
after some wild rallies In the mlcTflle
of the game.
In another game of singles. Weston
managed to outgeneral Cramer "Bud"
Deuel, local enthusiast, only after
a long and bitter fight. Experience
finally won, Deuel having been play
ing for a comparatively short time,
while Weston has been singles cham
pion of Seattle for the past five
years.
The men's doubles exhibition, in
which Weston and Deuel were paired
against Earl Tumy and Law, went to
the former pair, but only after a
stiff bnttle. The locals looked sur
prisingly good ngnlnst the master
lul opposition of their northern op
ponents. Another set of mixed doubles was
then played, after which tho crowd
and the players mingled, and ques

Badminton was introduced into
this country only In the past few
years, hut has been a favorite game
In Great Britain and her provinces
for over a rentury. In India the
game is plaved with a woolen ball,
with five players on each aide, but

as In tennis, a game which it closely
resembles, with only single or double

Coach Burgher Stresses De

Clash With Fast Stepping
Lithia Quintet Friday
With only two more nights of drill
before them, the Medford high school
Tigers are tapering off their gruel
ling practice of the past week In an
ticipation of the stiff struggle In
store for them with the Ashland
Grizzlies here FrldBy night. Burgher
Is laying special stress on blocking
and defense work In order to present
an Iron barrier to the two Ashland
flashes, Hoxle and Hardy, who be
tween them have run up an alarm

only one game this year, and that to
the last year state champion Astoria
live at the first of the season.
Hard work has been put In on the
Tigers' offense too, the squad real
izing that games can't be won en
tirely on defense, smith, who has
been playing center, was this week
shlxted to forward, along with Lu

painful leg Injury In practice but
will probably be able to start the
game. According to announcement
from Coach Burgher this morning.
Smith will be relegated to guarding

all In good condition. "Stretch" Et

the starting lineup for several weeks,

start Friday night. Smith has been
practicing at forward with Luman,
and Seara and Kunzman have been
playing title roles at guard, although
Burgher declined to state today
whether that would be his starting
lineup against Ashland. He announc
ed that he would give his starting
lineup tomorrow.
In today's statement he said that
his team hopes to give Ashland a
close game, although from Indica
tions, the possibility of winning Is
not too good. The players themselves
are a bit more optimistic, remember
ing former Ashland games, In which
the underdog invariably gave a good
account of himself.
The Ashland outfit are reported In

the stranger!
A stranger moves to your neighborhood. You observe him
tolerantly, but with no immediate display of interest. You are an
established resident, getting along very nicely before he came.
But you do not avoid him. For reasons not entirely unselfish
you wait for him to reveal himself. Possibly he may add some
thing to your social and business life. Possibly he will take a
highly respected place in the community. He may even become
one of your intimates. It is up to him.
So you note his manners, talk with him, and form an opinion.
If he comes up to your requirements, you accept him, and often
he proves a welcome addition to your group of friends.
It is with exactly the same attitude that the intelligent news
paper reader regards the advertisements of products new to him.
These strangers may add something to his civilized enjoyment.
They may contribute to his comfort, safety even his success.
In many mays they may prove valuable. Certainly it is wise to
give them careful consideration.
Read the advertisements in this newspaper. They may be the
means of introducing you to products that will take important
places in your life. And every dav they will give you informa
tion that enables you to buy intelligently and make your money
go farther.
