Eugene, Feb. 13. (Spl.) University of Ore gon freshmen basketball players will invade Medford Friday night for a game with Bill Bowermar's high quintet. The contest In Medford Is a part of a week-end trip Into southern Ore gon by John Warren and his Duck lings. They play Klamath Union high at Klamath Falls Saturday night. This week Is the toughest In the en tire Frosh schedule. Previous to this week's heavy slate the Frosh had captured 13 of 13 games played, the only loss having been a 37-to-36 overtime defeat by the Oregon State Rooks at CorvaJHs. In two games with the Beaver babes here the Ducklings gained complete revenge with 32-to-2l and 37-to-37 victories. When the Ducklings come to Med ford one member of the squad will be returning to familiar haunts. Bob Smith, former football and basketball star at Medford high. Is a reserve on the team, and has played In several games. He Is sure to see action In the Medford game and may start at guard. Laddie Gale, who has piled up 150 points In 13 games, la the big Frosh scoring gun. Gale plays either forward or center. Either Dee Phelps or Gall Fouta will start the Medford game at center, with Wally Johansen, the team's second highest scorer, At the other forward. v Bobby A net la sure to start at one guard.

"K1CKERMCK" Undergarments that fit at Bthelwvn 8 Huffmann Hopes that Ken Hollls, Arkansas hoodlum and one of the. roughest and most unorthodox wrestlers ever to ap pear here, will make his debut Into the lose column In the Medford Arm ory arena, upped a point today upon announcement that Hollls will tangle with Frankle Peck In next week's main event. Peck, who returns Mon day after an absence of a month In California, defeated the Arkansan In their only other bout, In Klamath Falls. Hollls seemed well on his way to ward handing Peck a beating In that match, but made the fatal mistake of goading the big San Franciscan out of his usual good humor by eye-gouging. Peck, In the third frame, became angered at Hollls' persistent dirty at tack, rein ted with his left, and crack ed the Arkansas ruffian on the chin wl;n a right cross, knocking him over the top rope and into the audience. Those who saw the bout declare that Hollls would proDably have been thtre yet If the Janitors hadn't found him while cleaning up later. Peck, an ex-prizefighter. Is seldom angered In the ring, but when he does become so he Is rated as extremely dangerous. George "Wildcat" Wilson. ex-Unl-verslty of Washington football star, professional footballer and one of the ring's most colorful grapplers, will meet "Duke" Pettigrow of New Or leans In the middle event. Wilson has Just returned from a European tour, and claims to bo in the best condi tion of his career. On his last ap pearance here he knocked over a ring post when one of his slashing son nenberg attacks missed fire. Petti grow, a wily wrestler, has seen Wilson In several matches, and Is confident he can take the Washington star. The opening bout will be between Ted Christy, the Los Angeles meanle whose work In California rings was considered so brutal that the Califor nia wrestling commission barred him for 30 days, and Wayne Long, the clever "Kansas Hurricane" who made an impressive showing here on last week's card. Long, a graduate or the University of Kansas, wrestled ama teur there for several years before turning professional four years ago. An idea of Christy's size is gained from the knowledge that he wears a size 20 collar. Pacific Gas Has Good Years Profit SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 13.

MONTGOMERY WARD FANDOM RANDOM By Dick Applegate Mr. and Mrs. Otto Klum of Hono lulu are at tying In Ashland tor an extended visit while Klum la on a six months' leave of absence Irora coaching at the University of Ha waii. Every seven yeara the univer sity grants such a vacation to their football mentor. Klum. known as Prock, or Otto, was at one time coach of the Ashland high school, and twice was at the helm ot Medford athletics, once In 1915-16, and again in 1820-21. In checking back through the files of the old Crater year-books at the high school, we find a very Interesting record of Klum'a last year here. Medford had not won a south ern Oregon football championship In four years, a thing that ran kled the Medford public quite as niuHi then as It would now. Prork was engaged to do some thing about Medford's falling prestige, and did so without de lay. With Russ Sherwood. "Irish" Cole man. Franc ia Preacott, OobO Raw lings, Willis Stockham. George Mans field. Jerry Young, "Chick" ance. George Irvine, "Dub" Watson, Rich ard Payne, Rees Baughman, Myrl Merriman, Dale Franklin, Jeas Jentry and Hugh Brown on the squad they defeated Klamath Falls 7-0 In the sea son opener. Klamath protested the game, saying that Medford had play ed two men over 21 years of age. Brown and Gentry. The charge was proved, and Medford waa suspended from the state association, they hav ing to forfeit their next game to Grants Pass. The matter was finally straightened out, and the season con tinued. In the next game, against Grants Pass, jk pass from layne to Cole man netted a touchdown and the game ended 6-0. The team then played Klamath Falls a return game and humbled the Pelicans 27-0 by way of vengeance for the first game notest. That was back In the days when Medford used to play eaoh rival twice. In the first game the locals eked out a 12-10 win, the first Tiger win over the Llthlans In four yeara. The sec ond game saw the encounter go to Medford 22-0. We quote from Irish Colemnn'a report In the Crater: "Medford did all her scoring In the first half. The first touchdown came when "Gobo" Rawllngs gathered In a punt on Ashland's 15-yard line and carried It over. Young kicked goal. After Medtord had kicked off, Ash land tried to forward pass, but Young intercepted It and ran back 20 yards. Then Medford by line-bucks carried the ball over. Young missed goal. In the second quarter Watson aasln .rrtH that hull Aver. YourtiZ kicked goal. After Ashland had failed to make yardage Medford again took tne ball, but loat It on Ashland's n fv,t line. Ross attempted to puut from behind hla own goal line, but fumbletd and he had to ran on ine ball for safety. This ended the first half and. also the scoring. t ik. A half XtmtttnrA mi .nr r-,.,,,.. was content to remain on the de fensive. Ashland only threaten ed to score once, that helng In the last quarter, but Medford fought them to a standstill. Fi nal score: Medford. 22; Ashland, 0. "Thus ended one of the most successful football seasons In the history of the school." Since this started out about Coach Klum, we'll close It with another quotation from Coleman: "With all due respect to the felows who made up the team and to the work which they did, fable championship team would never have been a ehsmplon shlp team if it had not been for the coaching ability of Coach Otto Klum. Without hla personality, which seems to make a fellow work to the very laat to be able to do something for him and which also commands the respect and admiration of all those under him. this string of victoriea, of which Medford high school can al ways be proud, would never have been achieved." School wasn't so different In the good old daysl VET ORGANIZATIONS' FUTURE IN BALANCE PORTLAND. Ore.. Feb. 13. f The future of the American Legion and all veterans' organizations, Fatner Joseph M.

SPORTS CARNIVAL LISTED FOR FAIR IN NEW ORLEANS NEW ORLEANS ( UP) The old elty with Its mosaic sidewalks and French quarter. Is planning an elaborate fair featuring sports and carnival for 1937 or 1938. Encouraged by the recent success of the midwinter sugar bowl sports program, including yachting, tennis, football and track, which attracted nationwide attention, civic boosters are talking about a "sports fair" and now the Association of Commerce has taken It up. The directors of the association are expected to decide soon whether the fair will be held next year, but re gardless of the date, promoters art going ahead with enlarged plans for next year's sports events. The fair, according to tentative plans, will not be held In observance of anything special, but will be focus sed on historic New Orleans, and will primarily round out the existing sports and carnival attractions. Talk of the fair began when It was apparent that the midwinter augur bowl athletic program was a success. Organized only two years ago, thi sugar bowl football game has become one of the leading winter sport events. This yesr's game between Louisiana State and Texas Christian universities attracted 37,000 specta tors as many as the Tulane stadium would seat. The game Itself waa hail ed by experts as the best exhibition ol football to be seen anywhere la the country. Sponsors are discussing plans now for a stadium that will accommodate 60.000 fans. In addition to the sugar bowl sports attractions, New Orleans already has a winter-long racing season and ths historic mardl gras carnival to at tract visitors from all over the world. The sporting season in New Orleans now opens earlier than In almost any other resort city and lasts longer. Be ginning In November with the open ing of the fair grounds race track, it continues through the midwinter sports events; takes on new interest with the twelfth night revels In January which ushers In the carni val season, and finally comes to an end in March with the hilarious pa geant of mardl gras. Lake Ponchartraln, with Its new sea wall and bathing beach; Grand Isle, only a few miles from the city, whera surf bathing and deep sea fish- ' lng are offered, and the historic French country, settled by Acadtans along Bayou Teche, all are prime tourist attractions. In view of these advantages, sports fans and civic boosters agree that a national fair featuring sports would be a success In thla southern metropolis. Draft Ballot Title. SALEM, Feb. 13.
