MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1936. Ashland High Hoopsters Will Invade Medf ord Tiger Lair Tonight PAGE TEN OLD RIVALS KEYED FOR HARD BATTLE IN TITLE PURSUIT Coach Bowerman Rates Llthians Toughest Hurdle for Locals Preliminary ' Schedu' t 7:30 P. M Headed by Coach Don Fabar. back at the helm after a two-weeka" liege of mumps, the . Ashland Orltzlles storm Medford tonight to start hos tilities In the first or a four-game series against the Medford Tigers. Primed for another trip to the state tournament In Salem, and already leading In the Southern Oregon league race, Faber's squad la rated by Medford'a Coach Bowerman as the most dangerous hurdle the locale will have to face. The Ashland squad, made up of mixed veterans and newcomer, em ploye a shining defense, going from man to man Into a zone defense and. although they dropped a game to Salem the night before Medford had nosed out the Capitol City squad, they are still better than even In the betting. Coach Bowerman stated today that his squad has been weakened by the loss of Santo, sophomore guard, who dropped out of classes yesterday with a bad cold. Crowding Dickinson and Ettlnger for a place on the starting lineup, Santo woe expected to see some action tonight. In practice tuts this week the Tigers have confined themselves to only two offensive gestures the hard, driving finish that has charac terised their earlier games, and a new play that Bowerman gave them two weeks ago and which worked with some success against Klamath Falls last week end. Polished and preenod for presentation against the Llthians, the play went for 22 points against a picked squad In Just eight minutes of scrimmage Wednesday night. "If that play works at all. It la going to work wonders." Bowerman aid today, but admitted that there la a possibility that the maneuver might not click against the fast-mov ing Ashland defense. Bowerman asked that ths nature of the offensive play not be revealed until after the game, and at the aame time intimated that most of his team's points will be mode by frequent shooting, rather than relying on complicated moves to work the ball under the net. Membera of the Tiger squad are at fever pitch for the batttle, and feel ing at the school Is running high. School officials announced today that a brisk ticket sale yesterday Indi cated a record crowd for tonight's game, the third that the locals have played on tha home floor this season, Ray Henderson's Toy Bulldogs, the scrappy little team made up of aeventh and eighth grade students not considered large enough for Rubs Achlaon's Junior high varsity, will provide the thrills against ths Jack aonvllla aeventh and eighth graders In tha preliminary encounter. The "Little Olanta" have proved popular In all their games so far thla year, Tha preliminary will atart at 7:30 aharp, followed by the main game one hour later. Tomorrow night the two aquada meet again, on the Ashland junior high court. Probable starting lineups are: Medford Ashland Lewis w - Fowler Baker F. Murphy R, Ettlnger ...0.

Only a few days ago a 100 per cent American, by name Willie Klein, who was born in New Hyde Park, Long Island, demolished ail scoring rec ords for south Florida's oldest clas sic, winning tha Miami Open with score of 372. It would aeem a far cry from Harry of the mammoth hands, to the big blond of Wheatley Hills and Florida Kloln. But there la a direct line of relationship. Yeara ago, in old England. Frank Bell wood, wna an assistant to Harry. He grew up with the Vnrdon grip. that apodal parade of flngera laid caressingly on a golf shaft, which has become a standard of the world as a golfing grip, Showed Enrly Promise Later Bel I wood came to thla coun try and settled on Snusuury Plains, that wind swept area of Long Island which comprises several of this country's most famous golf courses, tho Garden City Golf club, Meadow Brook. Ballsbury. Cherry Valley, Gar den City Country club and others, and ta also the hub of aviation In terest, with Itoosevclt Field and Mitch el Field nearby. Aa a youngster Klein waa appren tice to Bell wood, and developing Into fine stylist, became one of the big hopes of post-war American pro fessional golf. At the age of 31 he won the Long Island Open at Cherry Valley, and repeated the following year at tho Garden City Country club , so that he apparently wna destined j for a prominent place with the ris ing battalion which then Included Gene Sararen, Johnnie Farrell, Leo Dlegel and Wild Bill Mehlhon.. But something went haywire it. Klein's machinery and except ic meteoric flashes, he languished on M verge of obscurity. Of course, the golfing world well remembers one of his most sensational days, that sum mer afternoon In 1030 at Shawnee when he puttered to the turn wl'h mediocre 38. only to rise suddenl) to the peak of greatness, shooting spectaouiar 30 for the back unit. to overhaul man after man and land In a deadlock with Wllllo Macfarlane for the first prize money, Subse quentiy, he bowed to the Aberdeen Scot In a piny. off. In-And-Outer Five years marched on before Willie really clicked again in the north, winning the New York State Open in 1038, and four more years had lapsed before he captured the Met ropolitan P. G. A. cl.nmplor.hhlp. Rain on Salisbury Plains at the Old Went bury club. The following yar he returned to the Long Island tournament thron winning over the Internationally famous Lido course beside the st t at Long Beach. Meanwhile, to get back to Klelna southern nprratlons, he had entered he urapefrult rlrrult'a hull of farnf D- J f Q 0 pc, ,wHr; I.: .('.. 1 m hswMsaiiSH by winning the Miami Open at the Miami Springs Country club in 1035, with a score of 380, so that when tha air waa reverberating with shouts and cries attending the Florida boom golf huzzas featured Klein's name prominently. But here again Klein seemed to lose the victory touch. He has played In every Miami Open since that or iginal win and It waa not until i few days ago, that be returned to glory. The word "glory" la used ad vlsely because he equalled the course record with a spectacular 64 In the third round, and ran away from the field with an aggregate score of 373 17 shots better than his winning score of 1036. He had a 33 on one nine and he finished by five shots ahead of Gene Sarazen, himself 4 tlme winner of this classic. "Some funny things happened dur ing thla championship," said Klein. "I auppose you'd call them coinci dences, but all sportsmen believe in rabbit's feet and horseshoes. Six weeks ago Frank Be II wood gave mo an old Vardon putter, which he said would Improve my putting, and I call him a good prophet, for that club certainly worked magic around the greens at Miami Springs.'

The old traditional rivalry has become a trifle threadbare In foot ball and Klamath Falls has more or less stepped Into the breach, but In basketball the rivalry Is as keen aa ever. They have, fortunately, dropped the foolish practice of heaving eggs of uncertain vintage and overripe fruit and vegetables after the games but the excitement Is there Just the same. One reason why we think that kind of rugged horseplay Is best out of the ' way la because we carried a large and tender bump for several days following our last foray into Ashland territory on a bombing expedition. We were standing on a stone wall above Llthia park looking down Into the road below for any hapless victims that might happen along, but made the bad military error oi leaving our flank unguarded. A troop of light horse sneaked up behind us and caught us behind the left ear with Pilot Rock, hurled out of a giant howitzer. We still aren't de cided which was the worst the blow from the rock or the attempt at extricating ourselves from a large blackberry bush below, without tear ing off huge chunks of quivering flesh. The sprint in front of 50 Ashland guerilla troops howling for our blood, and the hiding on the fire escape of the Llthia hotel wasn't so hot. either. Anyway, the present crop of high school students have the good sense to confine their bat tles to the floor, and boy, what battles! They are none the less enthusiastic for all the referees In the country. No fouling as far' hark as we can remember, but In a game as fast as those al ways are, there Is always plenty of bodily contact. Fencing is an old, old sport. Men have Indulged In sticking each other In the game, and It hasn't always been a game of course, for hundreds of years. The practice of fighting with foils has mostly died away, except In placea like Heidel berg, where scars are trumps. Thrill-' Ing stories, such as 'The Ace or Blades," have been woven around the skill of some hero with the foils. It has been a man's game down through the centuries, but appar ently is no longer so. Probably dat ing back to the time when a wo man's hat-pin was her first line of defense, the ladies have taken up the sport and are now as Interested in It as men are. Some 3f them are much more interested In it than we are. for Instance, such as Helene Mayer. German girl who was nosed out in j the Olympics in 1928. She has been j teaching German at Mills college at i Oakland, but has kept up with her fencing and will represent Germany j at the Olympic games at Garmtsch Partenklrchen this year. (We spelled that name without ever looking U up!) . ; There Is a very good chance that Miss Mayer will meet an American ' girl. Miss Julia Jones.
