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.

If Medford isn't the worst baseball
town on earth, at least It could put
up a mighty lusty battle for those
honors with any village of like size
we ever heard of. 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.

SPEED VS. POWER
BATTLE PROSPECT
E
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27. (AP)
Western speed against eastern
power is the battle prospect for the
Shrine intersectional football game
here New year's day, Judging from
the coaches' appraisal of players.
Coaches Orin Holllngbery and
Percy Locey of the West team de
clared this year's backs are all
sprinters and the fastest they have
seen for many seasons. Eastern men
tors. Dick Hanley and Andy Kerr,
admitted they have very little to
match the speed of the westerners,
but pointed with pride to their
back field averaging some 195 pounds.
Quarterback Riley Smith of Ala
bama weighs 205. Sheldon Belse,
fullback from Minnesota, scales 195,
Left Half Dick Heekin of Ohio State
weighs 192 and Dick Crayne, right
half from. Iowa, Is a 190-pounder. j
Walter Crulco of Northwestern, j
who dislocated his knee in a fierce
Christmas day scrimmage, la 200
pounds. He will take it easy in
practice for a few days, but deft
nitely will play, eastern coaches
said.
"Our eight backs are collectively
the fastest group I've ever seen,
Holllngbery declared. "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.
Both coaching staffs plan to hold
a final scrimmage Saturday.

"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
