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.

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.

Firemen Bombarded

As If the hazards of fighting fire In
freezing weather were not enough.
Rockford firemen had to dodge bul
lets and blrdshot as they played
streams of water on a burning hotel
and sporting, goods store. The flames
set off the store's supply of ammu

False Alarm
PISHER. Okla., Jan. 31. (API The
fire alarm hit. Fire Chief Charles
Safford Jumped from his chair and
hit the floor running. In- the excite
ment he forgot hla car, sprinted off
down the street and beat the fire
truck to the scene. It was a false
alarm.
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. The main
game will follow at 8.
