PAGE RTX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1939. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen aayi: Poor Prospect For Grants Pass Basketball Team Unless George Hibbard comes iid with a remarkable conch ing Job at Grants Pass, or his basketball aspirants completely disprove the theory that experi ence Is probably the most vital factor In development of a championship quintet, it will most certainly be Ashland's Grizzlies, as usual, throwing up the biggest barrier to Medford's drive to the district 9 title and state tournament berth. Although he is keeping his chin up and actually predicting that this season's Caveman out fit will be as strong, if not stronger, than last year's five, we suspect that George feels anything but cheerful concern ing the Grants Pass prospects. He lost four regulars from his 1038-31) club Gene Dully, Jim Stlnebaugh, Ralph Lanning and Fred Gray and with only Roy al Mooers, center, returning for more competition, we don't sec how George can possibly manu facture a team capable of up setting the Tigers, defending champs. Stranger things have occurred, though, but until this happens, if it docs. In our book Grants Pass is definitely a cellar-caliber team. Grants Pass has three other players returning, who saw some action last year, and if they can be teamed with Mooprs to produce a contending quln tet, George will have done a swell piece of mentoring work. The players are Jack Gabe hart, forward; Bill Davis for ward, and Don Newman, guard. Don Hill, who starred for Kerby high last season, has transferred to Grants Pass and may help the situation. But it looks gloomy for the Cavemen. Up In Ashland, Skect O'Con nell expects to have a fine elub, and with six members of last season's squad returning he may bo correct. In addition, several good-looking prospects are up from junior high school, and all in all Skcet is pleased with the general outlook. Lettermen who will again carry the Ashland banner art Ardie Warren, Jim Smith, Stan Davit, Bob Weaver, Dale Williams and Joe Bur die. From junior high comet Charlie Jandreau, the grid start Bud Provott, Chot Fow ler and Martin Horrln, alto a football player.

AS JUDGE LAND1S GIRDS FOR ACTION By Gsyle Talbot Cincinnati, Dec. 7. (IP) There was a new high note of anticipation around the baseball circus today, a sure sign "The Judge" had landed, tossed his famous black fedora on a con venient lounge and taken charge. "The Judge,' who is known very respectfully as Commis sioner Kenesaw Mountain Lan dis, was confidentaly expected to jerk the production back on its feet. Nobody knew exactly what Landis had on his mind, but there was an undercurrent of feeling he intended to "crack down" on somebody. The big league magnates, with whom he was closeted today, have been worried and in a state of inde cision about their "working agreements" with the minors. The situation, broadly speak ing, boils down to the fact the white-thatched arbiter of base ball gradually has become a trifle tougher and taken to him self slightly broader powers than the club owners ever an ticipated that he would. Now they are trying desperately to slow Landis down, but they are being very, very diplomatic about It. The difficulty seems to be that the judge, employing the "broad' powers vested in him, has continued to . insist upon making his own rules. This is giving the owners a fit, because they insist he is finding some meanings to rules that never were intended to be there at all. The fines he has been plaster ing around lately are all the re sult of a misunderstanding, say the moguls. The judge has told them: "I didn't make the rules. You did. But as long as they are In the book I will enforce them, and according to my own interpre tation, too."

Your chances of stopping a bullet or shotgun blast while hunting in the woods are twice as great as your chances of . being hit by an automobile and killed on Seattle streets. : This was shown in an Asso- ciated Press survey today which disclosed 44 hunting deaths in Washington, Oregon, northern Idaho and British Columbia since September 1. Of this number, 41 were di rectly attributable to wounds received from firearms. Two others died of heart attacks in duced by over-exertion, and an other died in an automobile crash while returning from a bird-hunting expedition. During the same period, Se attle traffic and safety council figures showed 19 persons lost their lives in traffic accidents less than half the toll of the woods and fields. The state of Washington led in the number of deaths 20. with 17 dyjng of wounds, two from heart attacks while hunt ing and one in the aforemen tioned auto crash. Oregon and British Columbia were second with 11 apiece. British Columbia records dated from September 1, Oregon fig ures from mid-September. Two deaths were reported in' the Orofino section of north Idaho in each case a brother dying from a shot from a brothers weapon. SHELBY TUTTLE ON RIFLE RANGE A new high of 397x400 was reached last night at the Med ford rifle club's indoor range, when Shelby Tuttle turned in some above-average targets, to place hint seven points over Ivan Waddell. Much enthusiasm is being shown by the pistol shooters, and most have improved their scores with only two or three evenings spent at the range. The pistol shooting division of the club is still in its infancy and now is the ideal time for beginners to try their hand at it. The pistolmen meet every Friday evening, the riflemen on Wednesday evenings, and both hold practice on Sunday after noons. During the past few months the rifle shooters fired .30 caliber qualification matches 1 llii EltF VM SO luun iiHii.ii rnuDLcmo CQfJOMICALLY WITH A Water PFRTOHM NTF, and "itrrd thoe Mho nrnivn upon this famous pump.
