Tigers Tangle With Frosh Tonight Grants Pass Saturday Night BOWERIViAN SHIFTS TALL PLAYERS TO Tonight's Prelim Scheduled for 7 o'Clock Saturday Prelim Starts at 7:30 Win Over G. P. Last Hope With what will probably be the toughest game of the year facing them tonlitht. when they meet the powerful Oregon Froeh basketball team, and one of the moat Important games of the season tomorrow iu(n .,.. th tjinirlji with the Grants Pass five, the Medtord Tigers have their weelc-end worn cut oui jor um. The Frosh team Is rated as one of the most deceptive and dangerous year ling aggregations ever to fly out of nnrlr home nest, with two all- state men from last year's Oakrldge and Astoria teams. Coach John Warren of the year lings this morning informed Coach Bowerman that Bob Smith of Med ford will start the game is guard and acting captain. The high-scoring Laddie Oale from Oakrldge Is paired with Johansen of Astoria to give the yearlings a deadly forward comblntalon. It will be the duty of Baker and Lewis to stop these two. While more basketball will prob alby be seen tonight than In the Grants Pasa atruggle Saturday night here, the latter game la the one to ward which the locale are pointing. The last chance Medford bus to get to the state tournament In Salem would be scuttled by a Caveman win. After dropping two straight to Ash land, the Tigers are hopeful of get ting through the rest of, their season untarnished and then making a comeback against the Grizzlies, knot ting the count and forcing . playoff. The ahakeup in the squad, an nounced aa impending by Coach Bow erman. haa come, and the Tlgera will present a new offense against the Freshmen, with Van Dyke remaining at forward, but Orow paired with him Inatead of Lewie. Lewis has been shifted to guard, with Baker, and with Hayes Jumping center. The new array will present three tail men. Van Dyke, Grow and Hayes. In the forward wall, and will give the local team more of an advantage In that direc tion than Shey have enjoyed all year. Tomorrow night the team will ahlft back to the old lineup of Van Dyke and Lewie at forwarda, Hayes at cen ter, and Baker and Ettlnger at guards. The new lineup haa not yet practiced against a none defense auch as used by the Cavemen. The game tonight will atart at o'clock, with the preliminary starting an hour earlier. The curtain raiser will be furnished by the Roosevelt grade team and the Jacksonville squad, all playera under the seventh grsde.

One eve ning he had nothing to do, and we asked him to attend the Salem game with us. He demurred on the grounds that this basketball was pretty tame stuff, but came along anyway. Just to be affable. The first quarter found him sitting there glumly examining bis finger-nails. By the half he had pricked up his ears and was watching the ball with considerable interest. In the last half he went wild, and howled. "Lynch the referee" In the approved style and by the time the game wss over you couldn't have told him from a high school sophomore except that he was getting more dis tance with his bellows.
