The two most promising contenders
(or southern Oregon bsslcetball league
honors face each other when Medford
and Ashland high school teams square
oft st 7:80 tonight In Ashland. A
Medford win will throw the race Into
a tie, with each team then having
two loases apiece, while s Orlszly win
will eliminate Medford entirely.
rue locals hare not taken district
honors since 1033, and already this
, year stand two down In the (our.
game series with the Llthiene. With
everything to win and not much to
lose, they are planning a driving on
slaught on the Ashland net In an
effort to boost themselves Into the
money position.
Chances of a Medford win are con
sidered bright, with the team vaatly
Improved over the green outfit that
went down to defeat on the two
earlier occasions. Ashland, crippled
by the loss of their star, Parker Hesi,
by gradustlon at mid-year, was fur
ther handicapped several days ego
when Walt Lee, sophomore forward
being groomed to fill Hess' shoes,
went out with a bad hand. Lee cut
the hand deeply with an axe while
chopping wood and the attending
physician holds out little hope that
be will be able to engage In battle

A large congregation of Medford
students and fans are contemplating
the trip, with advanoe ticket esles
Indicating the affair will be a near
sell-out. Ashland school authorities
have moved the game forward to 7:1

With their eyes on a new Pacific
coast basketball consecutive victory
record, the undefeated Washington
Huskies aimed for a sweep of a two
game series with Idaho here starting
tonight.
The Huskies to date have won 10
straight. Should they win tonight
they will tie their own record of 11
straight, made In 1932. A victory
also on Saturday night will move
the record to 12 games.
The 1032 record was established
after the Huskies lost four of their
first five games. Then they went
on to win the championship.
Idaho gave Washington many try
ing moments In their recent Seattle
series and playing on the home floor
should give the vandals added im
petus this week-end. They lost fhelr
first game to Washington only after
bitter first half struggle, ana
although losing the second, forced
Washington to use 1U "Iron man"
first string five for the distance.

contest this week-end finds Oregon

The Rose bung Indians, sewed Into
a tie with the strong Marshfleld high
school basketball squad for honors
In that district, trek Into Medford
Saturday to clash with the Medford
Tigers on the Senior high school floor.
The game Is called for 8:30 o'clock,
with an Interesting preliminary be
tween the Blue Raiders and the CCC
headquarters detachment five, to start
an hour earlier.
Roseburg Is said to possess a slight
but tall aggregation this year, with
sharp-shooters In every position. The
Tigers thumped them 33-0 In foot
ball last year, and the Indians will
be primed for revenge. The outcome
will have no bearing on the southern
Oregon league race, but Is expected
to serve as a yardstick of the com
parative strength of the two districts.
The double bill Is the first of Its
kind presented this yoar, and high
school authorities are anticipating a
good turn-out. -

"Never have I seen so remarkable
an exhibition on any bowling alley.'
The speaker was Mrs. Floretta D. Mc-
Cu ten eon of Pueblo, Colo., the great
est of women bowlers and the teacher
of thousands of women every year,
She bad Just watched five sightless
young men. of ages averaging 32, bowl
at a match against a team of full
sighted opponents In the annual
sports tournament of the New York
guild for the Jewish Blind. Led by
Christian Wurla of Olendale, Long
Islana, who scored 143, the blind boys
mads shots which had the big gallery
behind them cheering as a college
football crowd yells for a varsity
eleven.
Guided By Rail
With the aid of an Iron railing at
the left of the approach to the foul
line on the alley, Captain Herbert
Holmes and his team Christian
Wurla, Dominic DeJohn, Joseph Ma
lor and Louis Brlller advanced with
a rapid run-up to delivery. The rail
ing gave them their sense of direction.
On the first ball of each frame they
rolled for strikes, and they succeeded
In getting strikes on an amazing
number of occasions.
As the 16-pound ball crashed
through the pins, they listened with
keen preceptlon which Is theirs. In
variably, If a strike resulted, they
could tell by the sound. Often they
could tell how many pins remained.
From his perch behind the pins, the
pin-boy called the numbers- of ,ihe
pins remaining. With that as a guide,
they shifted their direction on the
second ball to "pick up the spare,"
as the bowlers say.
As Captain Holmes stepped to the
foul-line for his second ball In one
frame, the pin-boy called, "Number
101" That meant the one at the ex
treme right of the alley remained
standing. Holmes, shifting direction
ever, so slightly, took his stance, de
livered the ball and hit the 10-pln
cleanly with the Impact that Is evi-:
dence of a well rolled ball. On an-!
other occasion, the spectators gasped
as they saw Louis Brlller negotiate
the difficult "5-6 split." j
"Spot Bowling's Best' j
"Without coaching, and despite the
great handicap they face, these boys
have picked up the fundamentals of .
bowling in a remarkable way," said
Mrs. McCutcheon, who Is the nation's
acknowledged leading woman bowler,
with ten perfect games of 300 to her
credit. "In one way. they excel most
sighted bowlers. One of the dlfflcul- j
ties I have tn teaching bowling Is to '
convince the average person to be a
'spot bowler' rather than a "pin bowl- j
er.' In other words, the way to bowl
is to learn how to put your ball on i
the same spot on the alley time after I
time and a, pay no attention to the
pins as the release Is made. The prin
ciple la the same as that of a golfer
who Is told to 'keep his head down,'
rather than looking up at his object
ive. "These sightless boys are 'spot
bowlers to the ultimate degree be
cause they cannot see the pins. They
must learn through experimenting
the proper spot at which to release
the ball. They have accomplished this
with amazing success. Their delivery,
even with the necessity of grasping
the Iron railing at the left as they
approach the line, la well-nlght per
fect. They should be a real inspira
tion to . those of us who worry about
minor troubles from day to day. They
are real champions."

Coach Don Faber of Ashland has
devised an unusual system to stop
the Medford Tigers tonight. In prac
tice sessions this week Faber has
had Parker Hess and Billy Hoxle,
ex-Ashland stars, working out against
his men, using Medford plays.
Across the chest of Hess Is a banner
bearing the terse description "Lewis"
while Hoxle 's bosom Is emblazoned
with the placard "VanDyke."
The publicity Is flattering, but
unless Lewis and VanDyke are
both off their usual form, will
do little harm. Lewis and Van
Dyke have about divided honors
In the scoring for the locals this
year, with Lewli hot for one
game and VanDyke going on a
scoring spree the next. The ex
planation Isn't Just that the
two stars hare on and otr
nights with regularity, but If
you'll notice, they feed to each
other 'beautifully.
If Sam Is on, then Lewis con
fines most of his efforts to potting
the ball to him. and vice-versa,
with the result that the combina
tion Is almost unstoppable. Since
early In the season Coach Bower
man of Medford has drilled his
charges on new formations to be
displayed only against Ashland, and
these will be unvelledfconlght. Sev
eral of them are going to be sur
prising. On Saturday night the fans will
have a double bill for their money,
when the Blue Raiders and the De
tachment CCC team tangle to settle
an old dispute. Several weeks ago
they played their first game, the
final gun ending It In a draw.
They played an over-time period,
and the score was still knotted.
Another overtime period saw the
same thing, so they finally called
the thing off, to be settled later.
With that game aa the prelimi
nary and the Medford -Roseburg
fray as the entree, basketball fans
are promised lots of action.
Another feud that Is becom
ing famous Is the one between
the Girls' Community club of
Medford and the Sams Valley
ladles team. They have met three
times, with the Soms Valley
damsels now leading by a 3-1
count. In the three encounters,
there hasn't been much differ
ence either In scoring or play
ing ability. Now the only thing
the two squnds think about Is
playing, and heating, each other.
Some time ago we observed that
the first fighter ever to contend
for the world's boxing crown from
this country was Tom Molineaux,
Negro, who fought Tom Crlbb in
England and lost the fight and the
chance for the title 'when he
stumbled a&alnst the ring post and
broke his skull, back in the 80's.
Now it develops that John Henry
Lewis, the colored scrapper of the
present day. la a great, great grand
son of Molineaux. Lewis has been
digging around in the archives of
ring history and his own family
geneology. snd announced the fact
a short time ago.
