Sport Graphs Billy Hulen says: Eig Fellows Not Always Superior To Tiny Athletes Jones Boys and Britt Brothers Renew Mat Feud Tonight . Nobody, lat ot all the writer, sail ously questlona the ancient (porta axiom that a good big man la better Y. .... n .Mil It. s YV -. Illy Hulca. tie man. Theo retically and ac tually It la true, but every now and then cornea an occur r e n c wblch aeeme to contradict tha highly reapected old aaw, auch aa the University of Oregon-City .Col' lege of New York basketball game in Madison Square Oar dan last Saturday night before 19,000 spectators. Howard Hobson's Webfoota. com posed of towering giants, fell before a diminutive City College quintet, 96 to 38. According to presa reports of the game, the tint of Oregon'a barnatorralng aeries, the tiny New Yorkers presented a defense that practically stymied the Webfoots' driving offense, and an attack that bewildered oregon'a defense no end On the face of things, thla game might tend to give birth to the belief that the "big man, little man" theory la all wet. Howevor, there are several things to take Into consideration regarding tha game In question. One of them is that Oregon waa undoubtedly tired from lta long cross-country train fide. Another, and even more lnv portant, la that the Webfoota were playing In New York City before a .huge assemblage of probably the most critical basketball fans in the world, which wouldn't exactly pro duce a great amount of relaxation In the players, highly essential In 'the maple court game, Most Important of all, though, ll the fact that the Oregon team, composed of unquestionably good big men, was facing a City Col lege quintet made up of EXTRA OOOI) little men. Coached hy the famous Nnt llolman, tho New York team was not Just u good little team, but a great team. Oregon may have a great big team, and wo believe It has, bat the New Yorkers undoubtedly have a greater little team, a bet ter team than even Oregon's great big team. All of which may seem a little Involved, but It la a perfeot oxample of a theory we have long upheld In the face of sharp vocal opposition from certain local cltlzene. we be lieve, and alwaya will, that a greater little man la hotter than Just a great big man. or that a good little mnn la better than a mediocre big man. Naturally, with everything elac being equal, we would take the big fellow over the runt, but It la not often you find everything else equal. Thare la one aohool of thought In thla town that believes, no matter what, tha long-legged, lanky casaba toaser should forever be relegating his shorter brethren to the bench, regardless of how good the ahrlmp la or how lousy the lanky guy hap. pena to be. We dispute that theory, and point to Bob Anet of Oregon, Oharlea Warren of Ashland, Eddie Durno. ex-Orcgon star and the entire City College of New York team as Just a few examplea of little men who were Just too good to alt on the sidelines while the big boys played. Ileltlit does nnt ncretwrliy moke a great ha.krttiall nlnyer, nllhoucli It la admitted the sky scrapers have a derided advan tage under the banket, on Mparts and Jump halls and on high patsei. Mill, we have never yet seen n glnnt who ronld drlhtilr, fnke. nil, dart and scuttle nrnunil after Hint hull like a renlly good small player. ,tll your bet ball hanks anil drllihlrra nre smnllrr mm who can get out and rip and tear. Never jet have we seen a big man fnke a Utile mnn nut of pmlllnn and drlhhle pat him for a rrlpple; vlre versa, count less times. Although this piece might be la belled "in defense of the little tel. low." it Isn't meant to be exactly that. We reallee the value if stretch and reach on the baaketball court, when the guy doing the stretching and reaching Is as good a player as the smaller msn resting his bones with the other auba. But. there Is auch a thing aa the smaller man more than making up for his lack of height In all-around ability, sound fundamental performance, snd fire. When that la the case, what the dickens Is the big fellow doing In there, we ask? And, by the way did you ever notice It s moat always the little boy who has the fire and eplrltf I0NY TO TACKLE ELDER BRITT IN PRINCIPAL BOOT Middle Brother Tuffy Faces Floyd Britt in Middle Event Little Brother Mike to Meet Spider Kelly 9al Discount On All Rendy.ro-Wear and Hals tlHELWYN B HOPKMANN Closing lime for Too Lata to Clas sify Ads is 1:30 p. m. It would be the payoff even Id the Ozark mountains ot Arkansas, where they take their family feuding seriously and don't stop ahootln1 until tha opposing houaehold Is en tirely eliminated It would be a top attraction any where, be It with homemade squirrel guns out In the south fort7 or with bars arma and lega In the wrestling ring. It would be colossal, atupendoua and terrific, no matter where the locale, nor with what weapons. It happena In the Medford armory tonight the climax, the finale and the heaviest firing of the Jones brothcie versus Britt brothers grap pie aquabble. It atarted two weeks ago before a packed house, It con tlnued last Monday eve before aland Ing room only, and tonight It will reach Its hysterical ending In view of what Promoter Mack Llllard saya will be the greatest crowd ever to storm the Bartlett street barn of brutality. Lad lea Night It starts at 8:30 aharp, It'a ladies night once more, and It's the wind up wrestling program of the 1038 season and last until the second or third week In January, 1030. The ole' grappling maestro - warns those customers who can, to obtain their seats aa early aa possible. The armory capacity la 1800, and 3000 are .ex pected to attend. Manning tha heavy artillery In thla most sensational family battle will be Big Brother Alvln Britt. he of tha devastating and Illegal arm and neck-breaker bold over the ropes, and Big Brother Tony Jones of the three Jonea boya. the 311 pound powerhouse who haa yet to uisia aereat irom the Britt traah They meet, these ringleaders In tha family feud, In the one-bour main bout, but there Is not a wrestling ran in town wno believes the affair will go 00 minutes. After seeing Tony wanop noyo Britt on the whisker. laat Monday to end their top match In leas than one minute, It la the consensua that the thing will laat quick. Field pieces In the famllv war will be In charge of Little Brother Floyd Britt, who patterns his foul tactics after those of Big Brother nivin, and Little Brother Tuffv Jones, not quite so strong aa Big Brother Tony, but who can Dut to shame the clutch of Barnum and Bailey's biggest and most ferocious polar, brown or grlazly bears. It Is mat oacK-cracklng bearhua that Tuffy expects to employ with hum success against Floyd Britt, the vll- tntnous rope expert. He couldn't quite whip Alvln with It laat week. ue to some unmerciful foullna on the part of tho elder Britt. but he is certain Mr. Floyd can't atav m wicra ana taae It lonir enouah to win mo matcn. Mike In Opener Because there la annarentiv no third member of the House of Britt to take on Baby Brothor Mike Jonea, the latter will match sclentlflo and legitimate mnneuvera with the popu lar Spider Kelly in the alx-round opening event. This Is a return go from laat week, when the pair " sparaiinii exhlb t on or fancy and orthodox mat tactics. It win serve aa a balancer for the program, aa the laat two matchea are figured to play enough havoc with nerves and thronta for one eve ning. no urui nrotners. thanka to their haterul foullnga, now hold a iwo out ot tnree lead over the Jones boya In their family aetto. Two weeks ago, before Big Brother Alvln ar rived on the scene. Floyd knocked off Mike with a plenty dirty at tack. Last week Tony avenRed Mike by nearly belling Floyd's head Into tho halrony, but Alvln fouled Tuffy into submission. A double win for the House of Jones thla evening will give them the final vemin three matchea to two, and that'e wnat every mat addict In southern Oregon la hoping for. Hillbillys Tackle Britts Ml it, Taffy and Tony Jonea (above) look peaceful en on eh. nut they won't be In the Medford armory this evening, eperlally Tuffy and Tony. The latter pair climax their slam-ban wrestling feud with Floyd and Alvln Britt, respectively, and the fur Is expected to fly.
