Tiger Quintet Revamped to Repel Grants Pass Invaders Tonight PAGE TEN VANDYKE, HAYES TO STRENGTHEN LOCALS LINEUP Teams Meet Again Satur day in Grants Pass Grade School Leaders to Furnish Curtain-Raiser A completely revamped Medford high school basketball team will take the floor at 8:30 tonight at the Senior high school gym. In an effort to turn back the Invading Grant Pass Cave men, in a southern Oregon league game. The game wil be the first for 6am VanDyke and Bob Hayes, inelig ible last scmeater, and those two will tooth probably start, Coach Bower-man said today. Hayes will start at the jumping Dost, with VanDyke teamed with Lewis at forward. Baker and Llnd- ley will be at the guard posts on the starting lineup. Bowerman announc ed that his "Sophomore Bhocks" team will take over the floor duties a few minutes before the close of the first quarter, and carry the banner for five minutes. If, at the end of that time they are doing well, they will remain In the game and the varsity squal will be held In readiness to provide the punch down the home stretch. The squads are beginning to work together as an entity. Bowerman said, tout Indicated that there are still rag ged spot on the team. The short passes and floor work has Improved tremndoualy In the past week of in tensive drill, ha said, and added that the early season policy of shooting often and following the ball In to the back board will be followed. In the hectic Ashland series the men apparently forgot this bit of strata gem, the coach said, and he has been drilling It back Into them during this veek's practice sessions. The game Is the first of a two game series with the Climate City squad, the second game to be playfcd on the Or ants pass floor tomorrow night. The games are considered critical ones In the southern Oregon race for the annual trip to the state tourney In Salem in March. Both teams have dropped double-headers to Ashland, ir one team should take both these games and then come back strong against the Llthla City league leaders, they would still have chance at the title. The probable lineup of the shook troops will bo with Grow at center, MoKee and Chllders at forwards, and . Santo and Ettlnger at guards. The main games tonight and tomorrow sight start at 8:30, preceded by preliminaries. The curtain raiser here will be be tween the two undefeated leaders in the olty grade school race. Washing' ton and Roosevelt. These two tiny tout scrappy little outfits look upon the olty race much as their older brothers look at the state title, and the game tonight Is one of the cru cial contests In the series. The play ers under Coach Tucker at Washing ton and Coach Davis at Roosevelt, have learned lots of basketball this year, and their game has excited con siderable advance Interest.

Referee: Marjory Kelly: FANDOM At RANDOM By Dick Applegate Chuck Taylor, the "embassador of DtuiKetosu - ana member of the old world champion Chicago Celtics team, will give a free public demonstration of all of the finer points of basket ball In the Ashland Junior high gym at 8 o'clock Monday night. Coach Jean Eberhart of the Ash land Normal has arranged for the demonstration by Taylor. All basket ball fans, players and officials of southern Oregon are Invited to at tend. SONS players will be used In the demonstration, taking different formations to Illustrate the maneu vers which Taylor will point out. The "clinic." as it Is being called, will be the first of a series to be given at schools and colleges In the northwest. Eberhart says: "Chuck Is a great fellow and an excellent performer and lecturer. He will be glad to an swer any questions about the game and to go Into details on any points that might be of greatest Interest. Although he will use Normal school players as assistants, he will take the lead In the whole show, both in dem onstrating and lecturing. "We feel that this Is a real oppor tunity for basketball -minded people of southern Oregon. Girls are wel come and will have an opportunity to get a great deal from the demonstra tion In regard to basketball funda mentals, passing, shooting and floor play." Taylor has the following to say re garding his demonstrations: "The keynote of my clinic is conservation of energy and the psychology of sim plified basketball tactics, which I call 'fundamentals. "These fundamentals In no way In terfere with any coaching system. My sole aim Is to improve and promote the game for schools, coaches, play ers and spectators over the whole nation. "Catching and passing the ball cor rectly are two fundamentals first to be stressed as the basis of good bas ketball. To pass equally well with both right and left hand: deception In handling the ball passing, drib bling, rolling, or shooting depend largely upon the snap of the wrist and fingers. I have developed cer tain exercises which will, in a short time, make players capable of exe cuting these deceptive movements perfectly. "For deceptive play, all ball han dlers should learn to use split vision to the extent that they can see the entire floor but continue watching the ball. Deceptive play Is outstand ing and equally effective when all players are playing heads-up ball, but It is fatal to play deceptive ball when there are sleepers on the team. "I stress passes that are hard, car rying enough speed to make It diffi cult for the defensive man fo catch the ball. This will prove an Advan tage to a team as well as add color to the game." The original Celtics professional basketball team was one of the truly great machines of all time. Organized i In 1018, they rampaged through all; opposition of stiff seasons until they disbanded in 1929. They played Independent ball until 1920, entering the Eastern league the next year and grabbing the cham- plonship. In 1922 they played In the Metropolitan league, won 13 straight games, and had to quit after that for lack of opposition. They barnstorm ed away the rest of the year and played Independent ball again in 1926. That year they took over the Brooklyn franchise. Joined the American league, and won the championship by winning 108 games out of 118 played. The next year they again grabbed the title by winning 109 games out of 120, but in the latter part of 28 and early In '29, the American league big shots ruled that the league was going to pot because the Celtics were too strong for the opposition, and ruled them out of the league. The team dis banded, but three of the players went with Cleveland, and that squad proceeded to take the championship for two straight years. That's a bird's eye vleW of the background Chuck Taylor has for his basketball teachings. The clinic should be vastly interesting. 10 WOLBAST SUSPENDED FOR REFUSING FIGHT PORTLAND. Ore., Jan. 31. The Portland boxing commission to day Indefinitely suspended Midget Wolgast of Los Angeles, former fly weight champion, and fined him $13tf for being disqualified In the seventh round of his fight here Tuesday with Ritchie Fontaine, Missoula, Mont.

The Medford Junior hleh school Bulldogs swing Into southern Oregon league action tomorrow night whCL they mix with the Roseburg Junlorj on the Senior high school floor here. Coach Achlson's.crew of fast shooting and clever passing lads are given the edge In the betting, but Achlson him self was doubtful today. "Our boys are getting their passing game down better," he said, "and If I watch them close enough they play pretty fair ball In practice. But they have to do better blocking and short passing If they expect to get past Roseburg Saturday." The locals have employed a com bination zone and man-to-man de fensive system, and will probably use both tomorrow night. Ray Henderson's Toy Bulldogs, made up from the 7th and 8th grade at the Junior high school, will provide the preliminary action when they tangle with the Central Point 7th and 8th graders at 7 o'clock.
