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."

CAFEGO FITNESS
STILL QUESTION
AS VOLSENTRAIN
Warren, Butler Groomed For
Tailback Position in Case
'Bad News' Is Not OK.
Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 21.
(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.
The orange-shirted Volun
teers, 35 strong, will leave for
the west coast by train at 3 p m.
and arrive in Los Angeles at 1
p. m. Sunday. En route they
will stop at Greenville and El
Paso, Texas, for brief workouts.

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.
