Ashland High Hoopsters Will Invade Medf ord Tiger Lair Tonight

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,

trucks leaves Medford several times a
week for key cities where the loads
are transferred to company trucks.
Previously each camp sent Its trucks
for suppllea and equipment all the
way to Medford, It was explained.
The single accident occurred some
time ago when a truck trailer veered

Stiange how the thread of old
Harry Vardon't golf magic runs
through the fabric of American golf.
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.

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

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.'

There are basketball games and
basketball games, but the one to
night Is going to be one of the best,
for the simple reason that Medford
Ashland basketball games always
are. 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. In the finals
