A right to the Jaw sent Chicago's flahpeddler tumbling In the second round. He went down agiiln In the seventh, this time from a right upper-cut to the chin. Garb time the Klngflsh bounced up before a count could be started. But not many opponents during a long campaign have had him on the floor.

MEDFORD SCORES 30-22 WIN OVER With an exhibition of the finest basketball they have shown all year, the Med ford high achool Tigers laat night flashed a deceptive offense and a rock-lined defense In trimming the Or ants Pass Cavemen, 30-23, In a fast game here. The Cavemen of fense which Friday night mowed down the fast-breaking Aahland squad, was alow in getting started and the locals lead 12-a at the quarter. Shortly after the start of the sec ond canto, Holloway, Climate City cen ter, hit a- fast striae and sunk four baskets In a row before the locals could tally again, boosting tbe count to 12-10, the closest In the game. Van Dyke, Tiger forward, waa outstanding In the fray, looping overhand set-ups to his companions and running wild on hla shota from near the foul cir cle, amassing 13 markers. Holloway tied that figure at 13 also, but his teammates couldn't get working. Lewis, off on hl long shots, gathered seven points under the net and on gift tosses for second high honors. The win gives tue Tigers a better foothold on the southern Oregon title race, after they had seemed virtually out of the picture. Two wins over Grants Pass in the second leg of the tourney, and a win over Aahland, one out of the two Impending games, would put them In a tie with the leading Llthlans, while two stralgh' wins over that outfit would give Med ford the edge In the sprint down the home stretch. the preliminary encounter the Lincoln grade school toon the Jackson lads. 10-8.

TIGERS, 41 TO 20 A high flying Froah team from the University of Oregon Friday night cir cled the Med ford Tlgera during the first' quarter, but drew rapidly away in the second frame and thumped the locals, 41-20, In the fastest game seen here tills year. Bob Smith, star halfback on the Medford state championship football team but now at the university, paced both teams with 10 markers, and hla feeding to his teammates accounted for many more Froah tallies. Ray Lewis, switched from forward to guard for the battle, was high for the Ti gers, amassing eight points before be ing clmsod from the fray with four personal fouls. The Froah worked smoothly and swiftly, taking the ball under the net with such precision that they found It unnecessary to bomb the hoop from outaldo. dropping moat of their tallies through from under the basket. Using a man-to-man defense, they forced the Tlgera Into the outer court and checked them tightly through most of the frsy. Starting a last quarter drive, the scrappy Tigers stood on even terms, each team getting 10 polnta In that period, the Froah boosting their count from 31 to 41, and the high achool team tipping their total from 10 to 30. Sum Van Dyke, playing an out standing floor game and feeding the ball to tenmmatcB frequently, retired from the game during this canto, suf fering from a bad cold. Coach Bower man. In ordering Van Dyke to the bench, did so to protect him for laat night's Grants Pnaa encounter.

OAKMTSOH-PABTBN fROHEN, Ger many, Feb. 15. i7P) Thanks to her bob-sledders, the United States cap tured lte first championship of the fourth Olympic winter games today as honors otherwise rested with Nor way'i great Sonja Hente, Great Brit ain's hockey team and Sweden's In defatigable ski runners. Just when It appeared poaslble that America, the 1033 Olympic team champion, would be shut out In the distribution of gold medals, Ivan Brown and Alan Waa h bond of Keene Valley, N. J., raced to & sensational triumph In the two-man bob-sledding championship with the aeoond American combination of Gilbert Col gate, Jr., of New York and Dick Law rence of BrancbTllle, N. J., gaining third place. The American hockey team, how ever, lost all but the slimmest kind of a chance to take the title when It played a acoreleas tie with England. The deadlock also shut out Canada, winner of all previous Olympic hock ey championships. Three overtime periods failed to crack the strong British defense, back ed by tbe Canadlan-traLned goalie, Jamee Foster. The Americana still can tie England on polnta but unless they beat Canada tomorrow by a large score to overcome England's advantage In the goal records, today's draw clinched the title for Oreat Britain.. The 14 polnta scored in thla event plus two more credited to Mart be 1 Vinson, American tltleholder, for fifth place In the women's figure skating championship. Increased the United States' total to 314, good for fifth position In the unofficial team stand ings. Norway definitely has clinched the team honors. The Norsemen had gath ered 139 polnta against 1 18 for Ger many tonight and seemed destined to score heavily tomorrow In the akl Jump In which Blrger Ruud will be defending tltleholder.

On that date he thrashed Toots Estes, and since has battered, slugged and bit his way to wins over some of the outstanding wrest lers on the west coast.' Several - weeks ago. In Klamath Falls, Hollls was matched against Frankle Peck, colorful San Francis can, and Peck knocked him out of the ring to take the match. Can he do that again tomorrow night? He thinks he can, and the battle Is ex pected to be one of the beat In recent months. It will be the main event at the Armory. The middle main - event stars George "Wildcat" Wilson, former all Amerlcan football player from the University of Washington Just re turned from the ' Continent, and "Duke" Pettygrove, the bone-breaker from the cane brakes near New Or leans. Wilson Is rated one of the most colorful grapplers In the big time, featuring drop kicks and sonnen bergs. It was with a sonnenberg that he lost his last appearance here, when he missed his opponent and mowed down a ring post to knock himself colder than an Es kimo's nose. Pettygrove, who haa watched Wilson perform, believes that he has a defense that will stop Wilson that cold again- tomorrow night. The opening tangle will feature Ted Christy, vlsclous Los Angeles muscle mangier now barred from California rings for dirtiness, and Wayne Long, young "Kansas Hurri cane" who came within an ace of dumping Hollls last week. Cjirlsty haa , gained the reputation of one of the most unscrupulous sneer and amear artists. In the ranks, with shady wins over many good oppo nents. Long showed last week that he Is cnpabln of taking care of him self In such scuffles, dishing out the rough stuff as fast as he takes it. The first two bouts will be under the Australian system of six 10 mlnute rounds and the main event will be American system, two out of three falls or one hours time.

NAMES . in the NEWS ONE of the first things a cub reporter learns is that names make news. There are two kinds of names which make news. Names of people. And names of things products and services things which .touch you more closely than the thunderings of a Senator or the esca pades of a Prince. Look through the advertisements in this newspaper and you'll see names you've known most of your life. Dependable names names that stand for value announcing improvements in quality, improvements in service, new and better ways to perform old household tasks, ways to save money and raise your standard of living. Follow the news those names are making, day after day. Read the advertisements regularly, and use them as millions of other people are doing to keep up-to-date in the world of goods and services; to save time, effort and trouble in shopping; to help budget your expenditures and get the most for your money. 2 COACHES FIRED AT WISCONSIN TO END CAMPUS ROW MADISON. Wis- Feb. 18. (UP) Two years of wrangling, Intrigue and bitter personal feuds In tbe Wisconsin athletic department ended today when the university regents fired Dr. Walter E. Meanwell, ath letic director, and Dr. Clarence W. Spears, head football coach, and former Oregon football coach. Out with them went , William (Billy) Fallon, veteran trainer who put whisky Into coffee served, the football players between halves of Important games. Fallon said he had been ordered to "spike" the coffee by Dr. Spears. Liquor had come into the contro versy previously when Dr. Meanwell admitted giving whisky to two foot ball players after the Northwestern game last fall. The housecleanlng was the most drastic In the history of Badger sports. It was followed immediately by repercussions from the faculty athletic committee. In announcing their decision the regents admitted that perhaps they were being unfair to both officials by discharging them. "But," the governing body con-1 eluded, "the only way to restore har- mony apparently is through a gen-1 eral housecleaning." 1 MEDFORD ARMORY onday Mite Ken Hollis vs. Frankie Peck George Wilson vs. Duke Pettygrove Ted Christy vs. Wayne Long Seats on sale at BROWN'S.
