FANDOM AT RANDOM By Dick Applegate What are the chances of the Med ford Tigers getting to the state basketball tourney In Salem next month? On paper their chances are pretty slim. If Ashland takes one of the two-game scries against them, their chances are practically nil, for that would leave the locals with three losses aa compared to Ash land's one. On the other hand. If the Tigers dump Abhlund Friday night, the two will he tied for . honors, with the play-off game coming later. On paper, Ashland lins the better team, for the Mm pie reason that already they have trlpjted np the Tigers twice. Off of paper, on the other hand, the story Is quite different. The Medford team ha Improved tremendously In the post few weeks. They plnyed some of their best ball of the year against the Oregon Frosh even though taking a 41-20 beating. The next night they looked good against Grants Pass. Four men have shown decided Im provement. They are Lewis And Bnker from the regular squad, and Wilson and Bnnto from the Sopho more Shocks. Lewis has played re markable basketball alt year, but has been handicapped by height. He hasn't grown any during the sea son, but he has learned to take ad vantage of whnt would ordinarily be a handicap. He and Baker, an other sawed-off guard, have prac ticed their feeding together, and now present a low-bouncing offense that has proven effoctlve against the bean -pole opposl tlon . Conch Bntvermon, In keeping an eye cocked on the grade and Junior high school basket hnli trams, hits evolved what we conMder a splendid new Idea. It Is dlfrirhlt for u small hoy to get any kind of hand grip on a nrg ulnt Ion size hnsketlmll, even though (hut hull Is con si rtern lily smaller In girth than was the old style. Foresooth, Bowerman has decreed that a smaller ball Is to be used. By using a soccer ball, or a volley ball, the kids can learn their pass ing, dribbling and shooting funda mentals without having to be wor ried about hanging on to a ball that was never designed for their Uttie hands. It sounds extremely simple, yet we don't recall having heard any one else use the Idea. All thla drill la going to produce seme real basketball teams here In the years to come.
