AT FINISH; ROUT
1, 21-14
The Jinx held by the Ashland high
school basketball squad over the
Medford Tigers In the first two of
the four game series, retained Its
potency Friday night a the Llthlans
captured the encounter, 34-14, to
make It three straight. The victory
gave the Llthlans the district title,
and the right to represent this dis
trict at the. state tournament In
Salem next month.
The Qrlullea started slowly and
cautiously, as the Bengals ran up a
8-1 lead In the first quarter and
seemed well launched on a victory
march. The next frame hardly chang
ed this Impression as both teams
missed frequent set-ups. and only
thhree point were scored, two by
Ashland and one by Medford. The
picture chained swiftly In the third
quarter, aa Warren, pinch hitting for
le at forward, dropped In two lonjr
howitzers to knot the count.
Maytierry, long legged Ashland
center, bounced In a short one to
put the Orlwlles in the lead, 0-7.
It was at thla point that Sam Van
Dyke, key man on most of Med
ford's plays, m-M chased from the
game by Referee Frank Henriettas of
Portlsnd on four personal fouls. This
division wat roundly boohed by the
Medford fans.
With VanDyke gone the Medford
offense slumped, gained momentum
for a short time In tha last period
when Bttlnger'a long swlaher from
center tied the count at II -ail. and
then died entirely. The Ashland
plays, working with the precision of
a watoh, oiened the amy for con
tinual cripples under the net aa Ash
land drew easily away through the
last minutes.
MsySarry waa high for his tesm
and the game, with II digits, fol
lowed by Warren with six. VanDyke,
with his two baskete before he ass
ejected, remained high for the Tigers
with four.

L MEET PECK
Y
When Dude Chick, ex-eowpuncher
and top-line wrestler, won from
PTankle Peck of San Francisco in their
main event appearance here several
weeks ago, he said after the match
that Peck's eye-popping head lock waa
the worst he had ever been in. Peck,
after revolving like a danoer's fan in
one of Chick's airplane spins admitted
that nothing he had ever experienced
was quite so dizzying. The two are
rema tched on Monday night's main
event at the Armory.
Chick la one of the most versatile
wrestlers ever seen here. Of deceptive
build, he looks extremely heavy, but
actually tips the Lever at lesa than
200 pounds, accounting for hla daz
zling speed In slapping punishing
holds upon his opponent. His flying
shoulder butt, hla airplane scissors,
his whip wrlst-Iock, all were Intro
duced to Peek In their last encounter,
and the rugged San Franciscan la
wary of them. He has stated that he
will depend upon his gruelling head
hug, whloh he reverses faster than
anyone yet seen here, and his own
special back-body drop for a win.
Flying tackles, or sonnenbergs, have
proved one of the most effective and
spectacular offensive gestures In
wrestling. Some grapplcrs have per
fected them so that they strike with
the venom of a cobra, while others
use them to set their victims up for
other holds. Two such types of war
fare will be seen In the middle main
event when George "Wildcat" Wilson,
ex-University of Washington all-
Amerlcan, meets the "Kansas Hurri
cane," Wayne Long, In the middle
main event.
Wilson's vlscloua body thrust are
designed to knock the opponent
through the ropes and Into a coma,
so fiercely do they connect. Long's
sonnenbergs are not so Jarring nor
are they applied so swiftly, but the
Kansas flaah la a little more deft In
placing them. Seldom docs he miss
and Injure himself against a ring post
or the chairs outside the arena, aa
doe Wilson, and after he has bat
tered his opponent with several tack
les. Long generally ends the round
with a Boston crab or some such In
tricate and punishing hold. The bout
Is expected to be one of the most in
teresting of the evening.
The opener, an a 11 -mean le encoun
ter, will feature the unpopular Ted
Christy of Los Angeles, who will bat
ter with hla bull llke neck agalnat the
defenses of Duke Pettygrove of Ne
Orleans. Depending on few wrestling
holds, but taking his falls aa he finds
them, Christy has bit and slugged
and kicked his way Into so many
shady victories that the California
commission has barred him from par- I
tlclpatlon In that state. In a match
with Long last week, Christy served
notice of the kind of warfare he will
present tomorrow night.
A much cleverer wrestler but not i
nearly so rugged, pettygrove will use i
all the skill at his command .in an
attempt to pin the burly callfornlan.
The New Orleans pride has failed to
take a match In this city In several
appearance and la determined to
break that string of defeats Monday.
Mack LI Hard, promoter, has an
nounced that the new low prlcea will
remain in effect for the big show.

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.
