HANS IE OF BEST TEAMS I'VE SEEN' - ACHE Tiger Coach Pessimistic Af ter Seeing Chemawa Beat Grants Pass, '46 to 14, "It's one of the best high school teams I've seen in a long time. It's better than Salem's state champions of last year be cause the players handle the ball better and are surer shots We have a chance to win, of course, but we also have a chance to get a good drubbing. These were the words today of Medford high's basketball coach, Russ Achcson, after watching the colorful Chemawa Indians slaughter the Grants Pass Cavemen last night in Grants Pass, 46 to 14. Mcdford's Tigers open their 1030-40 cage campaign against Chemawa in the high school gym tonight, and as above noted the local mentor isnH a bit opti mistic concerning his team's chances against the upstate pow erhouse. A preliminary game between the Medford sophs and Kerby high will start at 7:30 with the feature attraction to follow. Backbone Star Coach Acheson brought back word that Chemawa was an all- veteran quintet, which appar ently had been working out all autumn. Backbone, sensational Indian scorer, made 24 points against the Cavemen, and he re ceived plenty of Bid from Shoul derblade and Woundedcye, the latter being an amazing ball handler. "It will probably be the best high school team to appear here this season," Acheson stated. So far as the Tigers are con cerned, they will go out to face the redskins with pretty much of a veteran array, also. Two regulars from last year's state title runners-up Bob Newland, center and Walter Kresse, for ward will be on the floor, and the remainder of the club will be composed of Inst year letter- men. Fred Gunnette will team with Kresse at the forwards and Ray Crosby and Verne Johnston will be at the guards. Rod Stead, 1938 regular: Duane Gifford, 1039 lettermon and Hugh Williams, Harold Fawcett and Bill Reed, all up from the sophs, are other mem bers of the squad. New System The Tigers' new offensive sys tem, featuring a fast break and fast passes and dribbles inside the defensive setup, will get its baptism of fire this evening. The system was brought back by Coach Acheson from Sam Bar ry's basketball school at U. S. C. last summer, and the mentor has high hopes It will prove more effective than last year's finnesse methods of scoring. "I certainly wish we had at least one same under our belts before meeting this Chemawa team," Acheson remarked. "It really is a tough opener." T PACIFIC, 18-7 Honolulu. Dec. 21. (PI Halfback Jud Atchison, former Texas university star, passed and ran the Ilealani town team to an 18 to 7 football victory over the College of the Pacific of Stockton, Cat., before a crowd of 8.000 last night.

(VP) Tennessee's undefeated, untied and unscored on football team arranged to head for Cali fornia's Rose Bowl today amid a lot of fuss over the injured knee of Halfback George (Bad News) Cafego. Whether Cafego would be ready to rumble at top speed against Southern California in the New Year's Day classic at Pasadena remained a big ques tion. Coach Bob Neyland rates the great halfback, who injured his knee in the Citadel (S. C.) game November 11, as "a player with out a weakness." Butler a Threat He is making his game prep arations on the assumption Cafe go will be ready, but just in case, Buist Warren and Johnny Butler, the sophomore flash, have been groomed for the tail back spot. "Johnny Butler Is doing so well I may not even get in the Rose Bowl game," Cafego com mented. "Why, that Johnny is a threat every time he gets his hands on the ball." Butler sprinted 56 zigzagging yards for the first touchdown against Alabama anr repeated with a 40-yard thriller to con quer Auburn, 7-0, in Tennessee's final 1939 game.

WTroof. Gehringer Ready for 15th Full Season With Detroit By Earl Hllligan Chicago, Dec. 21. (VP) Charles Leonard Gehringer has traveled a long, glorious baseball road since those days when he bounced from the county fairgrounds diamond at Fowler ville, Mich., right into a full-time second-basing Job with the De troit Tigers, so it's good news to hear he'll be hitting the major league highroad again next spring. Before the 1940 campaign is. well under way, "Silent Char ley" will be 37 years old and the subject of much speculation as to whether he'll be able to stick it out through his 15th full season with the Bengals. It's a certainty the quiet, reserved in fielder won't have much to say about it himself but his record will do a lot of talking in his favor. He suffered a badly pulled leg muscle last June in the all-star game at Cooperstown, N. Y., and some of the boys said he was on the way out. But young Benny McCoy, who was ex pected to take Charley's place, apparently Is headed for Phila delphia. New York's great youngster, Joe Gordon, took the play from Gehringer last summer, but Charley didn't do badly. He ap peared in 118 games, hit .325 and his 132 hits included 16 homers, six triples and 29 doubles. Possessor of one of the keenest pair of eyes in the sport, he drew 68 walks and fanned only 16 times. He also was the best fielding second baseman in the circuit. Previous to the 1939 cam paign he had compiled a record which undoubtedly will qualify him some day as a candidate for baseball's hall of fame. During 13 full seasons his major league average was .327. Through that period, at various times, he led the American league in hitting, runs scored, hits and stolen bases. In two world series he hit .377. Pennies for health rolled in to the Christmas Seal Sale booth this week with an inter esting story attached to their copper faces, when a little wo man stopped to make her con tribution. In her hands she held a box and the box was filled with pen nies, pennies .she had collected for many months. "My mother died of tuberculosis," she said. "I want to do all I can to avert that tragedy for others. Each year at Christmas I find myself with so little to give. This year I started my contribution early by putting pennies in the Christ mas Seal box, whenever I could." She counted them out and bought her quota of the little stamps, which finance the fight against tuberculosis.
