Jk g. i ft ' I v r i WEBFOOT CAGERS DEFEAT FOR SOUS Hobson's Big Machine Rolls Over Teachers to Tune of 45-20 Tigers Trounced, 26-16 by Normal Frosh A gigantic University of Oregon basketball team relentlessly mowed down the SONS of Ashland before a packed house at the Medford high school gym lasi nignc. o-?u. i-ai. Patterson, panther-like negro forward was easily star of the game, taking nearly every tip-off whlde jumping center and accounting tor 13 points by flipping In cripple ahota from under the basket, and recovering the ball from the backboard for further points as his teammates missed their shots. Coach Howard Hobson of Oregon used 13 men In the fray, every com bination tried working with equal success and ease. The outclassed SONS made a desperate fight of It all the way through, but were helpless before the onslaught of the team that has been mentioned continually as' the most promising on the coast. Almost every Ashland offensive ges ture was checked cold, and when a normal school play did work, the sharpshooters were having difficulty In hitting the ring. The effectiveness of the Oregon at tack Is Illustrated by the fact that ve men Lewis, Howell, Llebowlte. Courtney and W. Jones ran up a total, of 39 points, Llebowltz and Jones getting seven each, four apiece being garnered by the other three. Sam Ucbowltc flashy Oregon guard, turned In a remarkable game as feeder for his companions, bis smooth, Hat passes and his bounce hots paving the way for frequent cores. Hardy, Jumping center for the Uthlans, and Walton, guard, turned In the best games for the SONS, the only two who were having much luck In getting by that rock-bound de fense. The Oregon win waa the fourth this soason over the SONS. In the warm-up encounter, the Medford high school bowed to the SONS Proeh In a game that quickly turned Into a mad scramble, the Ashlandera proving the best scrsmb biers by 10 points, as the game closed 36-10. Lewis and Van Dyke for the high school wore the best perform ere. frequently taking the ball from, their opponents, but height, speed and experience were too much for them. Schopf and Ager of the Proeh turn ed In the best games for that team, worrying the high school lads all evening with their feat passing and work under the net.

Although plaus ible, the theory that It was a flock of New Year's resolutions being broken irom one ena of the coast to the oth er, has not yet been proved. Nor yet has the theory that It was a host of hangovers settling down for the day. But crash there certainly was, and here Is our theory of the cause: It was the bottom falling out of the scalped ticket market, at the Rnur iiowi fpofhgii frame at Pasadena. A few days before the fray, good seats on the SO yard stripe were bringing the owners anywhere from $50 to $100, and no thanks necessary. But ' the scalpers had overdrawn their .mmls, and overhanging skies adding to the situation, there were more tickets than suckers, the price avalanchlng from f.100 ' to $7.S0 In less time than you would need to learn to pronounce the names of the players. Scalping, of course, is against the law. In case you don't understand why, we'll be glad to point out the salient facts. Gamblers, sure that there are going to be more spectators than tickets, buy up a block of from 10 to 100, more or less, of choice seats at the gate price. Thy hold on tc those tickets, and a few days before the game sell them to rabid enthusi asts at an exnorbttant price. But here's the rub, at least as far as the scalper Is concerned: Uncle Sam has set a certain tax on each ticket, say is cents on each 1.65 pasteboard. A scalper buys that ticket and pays the 15 cent tax. then sells the du cat for a hundred k linkers. Accord ing to Uncle S., no TAINT t-K Right' ) owes a tax of. . . . wait a minute. that was a 30 cent tax on a $2 tick et. So he owes a tax of 20. (Pretty neat, the way we got out of that one.) But he gets the entire 98, Includ ing the 20 tax, and U. Sam gets the horse laugh, which doesn't seem to set very well, so every time he catches one of these gentlemen, he bundle them off to some uncomfortable old prison, and leaves him there to pon der the situation. It looks rosy from one angle, anyway, as we discovered when we got four comps to the San-n Clara-St. Mary's game recently, and turned our four regular tickets back for face value when offered twice that by anxious lads trying to get In. Having Just witnessed one profiteer get hauled off to the can, we wanted nothing to do with the G-men. Recently, while taking various and sundry beatings at table tennis, we had a very fine Idea, if we do say so ourselves. In the village of Medford there are, In vestigation shows, at least 50 who like to play table tennis (not Ping Pong, which Is a trade name, and sounds sissy, anyway) but have no facilities for doing so They either have no table, or if they have one, the lady of the family violently protests their hiking back and forth over the best rug In the house. Best rugs are always, It seems, In the only room In the house big enough to accommodate a tennis table. But here's the Idea. We Intend to form a Medford Table Tennis club, and If enough evince Interest, rent a downtown store room, with heat, and put in several tables. A flat rate of 25 to 50 cents a month"1 would, or should, cover all expenses Including lights and heat and rent. If funds ran short, possibly one of tha tables could be- set aside for cash play. At a nickel a game, for those who don't care to play steadily. Thusly a good many people, both men and women, would have the advantage of playing when they liked, and have some place to go on these drizzly evenings. Perhaps, at some future date, tour naments could be arranged and prizes offered. Those Interested might get In touch with this department to bee how the wind blows. Babe Going South To Hit Golf Balls NEW YORK, Jan. 3. (AP) Babe Ruth Is going south as usual a bit ahead of the ball teamsbut a golf ball rather than a baseball will occupy his attention.

ASTORIA HIGH CAGEMEN DEFEAT RAYMOND. 39-31 ASTORIA. Ore., Jan. 3. ) The Astoria high school quintet staked a last-period rally last night to defeat the strong Raymond flve, 39 to 31 The visitors had a long lead In the last half but were unable to hold the advantfige. ON THE RIGHT FOOT TOO MANY of the New Year's resolutions we make are negatives "don'ts" silly to begin with, and im possible to keep. Yet the impulse to make the new year better than the old one is almost irresistible when we face the clean expanse of a fresh calendar. Let's get off on the right foot this year. Let's com bine our ambition with common sense. There ARE things we can do constructive, positive things that will make 1936 a year we can be proud of. One of them is to live within our budgets. That doesn't mean skimping and doing without. It means deciding on our needs and getting the most for what we pay. Resolve now to buy wisely to read the advertise ments in this newspaper regularly to know in advance what you can afford to buy and where to buy it. Com pare prices and values in the advertising pages FIRST, Make every dollar do MORE. Then step forward into 1936 with assurance. WRESTLING (By the Associated praas.) NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J.
