MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, BEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY. DECEMBER Tigers to Tangle With Butte Falls Tonight MM 3V'.w.rii B' L I Bowerman Grooms New Outfit for Speed and Ac curate Passing Soph Shock Troops to Finish The basketball season will get away to an unofficial start at the senior high school gym tonight, when the Medford high tquad takes the floor at 7:30 against the Butte Falls outfit, rated one of the strongest "B" performers in the valley, in a practice game. With a team made up muouy of new men. Coach Bowerman of Med ford has groomed his squad to de pend almost entirely on speed . ac curate pass'ng, and work under the basket, with no stress placed on complicated plays from center, Bow erman said today. The team will ue a newly devised system of "feed ing," playing situations as they occur rather than aa they have been rehearsed. "There are too many places on one flcor where the enemy can be for us to try to guess where he's going to be next," Bowerman point ed out in explaining his system. With a new coach and only a few veteran players, a radical step had to be taken, the coach said. The veterans on the starting line up, none of whom were regulars last year, will be VanDyke, shifted to center from guard in place of Leo Sakralda, who Is out with a cold, Lewis and Ettlnger at for wards and Baker, Dickinson or Den man at guards. With the exception of VanDyke, all of these men are short, and In practice tilts to date have strongly stressed a bounce pass to overcome their height handicap. The "Ssphomore Shocks," a squad made up entirely of second year men, will be thrown Into the game at the end of the first quarter, Bowerman said yesterday, in order to get experience under fir: with an eye toward a strong team In future years. This squad will be made up of Santo, sophomore foot baller, at center, McKee and Warner at forwards and Childers and Ettln ger at guards. The game will be free, with many basketball fans anxious to see the team In early season form expected. WEBFODTTDEFEAT KLAMATH FALLS. Ore., Dec. 27.

Baseball teams with really promising material will spring up here, hopefully, only to die on the vine almost before the season Is over. Pitchers, catchers, basemen, fielders and managers will be all enthused at the first of the season, but by the time they have played a few games under a blister ing aim, with nobody looking on but the other team's bat boy and veryfl few cash customers, they get dis gusted end depart for other more promising climes. The reaction Is normal. No one can buy ham and eggs If the only spectators are a few ruminating cows off In the corner of the field at the fairgrounds. Why arent Medford baseball games better at tended? No one seems to know. Perhaps, with the sawmill now open, the Medford Corporation will put a team In the field next year and revive the game. As Owen -Oregon , the mill used to have some great teams. There weren't any big leaguers gambol ing on the green for them, hut they had a good time, and the people went to the games. With the Rose Bowl game only five days In the offing, the betting still favors th Southern Methodist to hand Stanford her third straight lick ing In that famous encounter. "Too much speed, too many lateral passes," is the concensus of the railblrda who are setting the odds against the In dians. The fact that Stanford is returning to the Bowl for the third time brings out strikingly the fact that Claude "Tiny" Thorn -hill has taken hla big red and white squad u Pasadena every year since he's been head coach. The ex fullback from Pitt took over reins when Pop Warner dodder ed off to Temple three years ago, and his squads have gleefully romped through most of the opposition since. What they'll do next year with Bobby Grayson, Hamilton, Topping and Mo- scrlp gone, along with most of his other stars, is probably a painful though to good Stanford students and alums. L. H. Oregory, In his sport col umn In the Oreponlan. has Ions protested the rule permitting the try-for-point after a touchdown. The protest Is well taken If ever a protest was. The point d on n't mean miieh. other than that one team may have a good place kick er, whlrti Is placing too much of a good thing on that premise. As an alternate, one ef Gregory's fans suggests that there he no try-for-points exrept In case of a tie, the team with the most yard age getting a crack at the up rights. That sounds like an ex cellent suggestion. Tonight the 10 bowlers from the city league turning In the highest averages during the first half of -he season will meet In a team match that promises about everything for the bowling fan. The two teams, to be known as the Black Sox and the White Sox, are evenly matched, the averages of each squad totaling ex actly the same. 889. The matches will start at 8 o'clock, and will be open to the public. The first basketball game for Coach Bill Bowermsn's high schol charges, asalnst the Butte Falls Loggers to night at the Senior high gym, should be well attended. There Isnt going to be any admission charge. GLOBE. ArlB. (OTt AntlclpWMM complete bllndn.

"They are all sprinters, and they can pick 'em up and lay 'em down in football as well as track shoes." "Kayo" Lam of Colorado has run the 100 In close to 9.7 seconds, Hol llngbery said. Theron Ward, Univer sity of Idaho fullback who nears 200 pounds, runs the distance In 9.8. and Chuck Cheshire of IT. C. L. A. holds a 10 flat time.

"The boys are In the pink right now and our practice sessions the rest of the way will be designed to keep them up there. It Is surprising what an extra week of work will do for a team.
