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.
