DEFEAT COACHES
BY 38-35 COUNT

Trim Prospect 27 to 18,
U. S. G. Blanks Tennessee in Rose Bowl
Br Al Gould.
Clowning at times, but show
ing plenty of real basketball
ability when needed, the Har
lem Ghosts rollicked their way
to a 38-35 victory over the
southern Oregon caoches' quin
tet, in a hilarious game at the
high school gymnasium last
night.
Hardy of the coaches and
Elder of the Ghosts tied for
scoring honors at 16, while
Hood of the Ghosts and Har
rington of the coaches tallied
nine apiece.
The visitors displayed phe-
-. nomenal passing that at times
completely bewildered the all-
coach outfit, with Hood, chunky
guard, sparking the attack.
Coaches Lead Early.
The coaches took an early
lead on a basket by Harrington.
but the boys from Harlem soon
forged Into a alight lead, with
some uncanny shooting by El
der, slender forward, bringing
the score to 24-13 at the half.
The mentors again got hot
Just after the second half got
under way, as buckets by Hardy
and Harrington, plus a free toss
by Bowerman, brought them
within range at 24-18. Speed
ing up, however, the Ghosts
displayed some more fancy ball
handling to draw away, having
a 10-polnt lead at the third
period.
Then with Harrington and
Hardy again leading the way,
the coaches once more made a
serious bid for the lead, as they
came within four points, with
less than three minutes to go.
Showing that they could also
clown a bit, the coaches rushed
their two substitutes on the
floor, and with seven men ef
lectively throttling the Ghosts'
attack, sank another one to
make the final score stand 38
J5 for the Harlem Ghosts.
Dribbling Wisard.
Spectators were given an eye
ful of dribbling, as Potts, tal
ented forward, sped through
the local defense, befuddling
the mentors with his amazing
dribbling. Coupled with the
Negroes' passing attack that
flashed the ball In and out of
the keyhole with such speed
it was hard to follow with the
ye, the coashes' defense was
opened up enough to allow the
Ghosts numerous clear shots.
In justice to the mentors, It
must be said that they also
, had plenty of open shots, but
Just couldn't seem to hit the
basket consistently.
The preliminary, between the
sophomores of Mcdford high
and Prospect high, was taken
by the sophs with a spirited
rally in the closing minutes
that erased a one-point Pros
pect lead and gave the year
lings a 27-18 decision.

East will meet West when
Prince Mehalikis and Cowboy
Dude Chick square off in the
main even of Promoter Mack
Lillard's initial -wrestling card
of 1R40 in the Medford armory
Monday night.
The Prince, with his dark
countenance set off by the
snow-white turban he wears in
to the ring and with his rug
praying in the corner prior to
the bell, represents all the mys
tery and ancient culture of
Arabia. On the other hand.
Cowboy Dude Chick is a re
minder of the raw-boned life of
the wild and woolly west of
almost a century ago. So it
will be a grapple between two
distinct and utterly different
cultures.
Both the Prince and the cow
boys are fast, clever and legiti
mate wrestlers and the match
ought to be a fine exhibition
of scientific grappling. On the
other hand, most wrestlers are
like opera prima donnas they
are temperamental and liable
to fly into unpredictable dodos
Besides, the turbaned gent and
the former horse nurse are in
clined to be a trifle hot-headed
and quick to start throwing
punches If they think their
rights have been violated, and
If the boys get mad at each
other, the fans will see some
mighty spectacular fireworks.
The card will be opened, at
8 p. m., by Bob Montgomery
of Georgia and Zim Zimovich,
a mighty Finn who will be
making his first appearance
here.
In the center spot King Kong
Clayton, the popular Negro, will
battle his way with Joe Smo
linski, the brutal Polish pa
looka. It will be ladies' night.
Japan's leadership in the pro
duction of commercial synthetic
fibers was made possible through
patent agreements with foreign
interests and the importation of

Atherton Report May Bring
Athletic Commissionership
By Russell Newland
Lon Angeles, Jan. 4. VP) Slowly, massively but effective
ly, somewhat like the movement of a glazier, rulers of the Paci
fic Coast conference progressed today toward an objective ex
pected to clarify, purify and revivify the ideal administrative
policy of athletics.
Faculty members of the or
ganization comprising ' the ten
largest colleges and universities
in the Far West, again thumbed
through the most significant
parts of the Edwin N. Atherton
report. The two million word
treatise, costing iome $40,000,
is the two-year effort of the
skilled former government in
vestigator. Secrets Bared
Its contents lay open the in
nermost secrets of the confer
ence schools in the matter of
providing aid to athletes, financ
ially, scholastically, morally or
mentally. Activities of enthus
iastic alumni, fraternities, collegiate-minded
groups and even
combines of businessmen inter
ested in diverting trade into
certain channels, are embraced
in the huge package of facts.
Two aims were apparent as
the result of preceding sessions,
the educators, who control every
phase of the administrative ob
ligation of receiving a student of
athletic ability and passing him
through the portals of gradua
tion, intend to legislate the or
ganization into one at which no
finger may be pointed in deris
ive fashion. To assure .this they
plan creation of a post of high
commissionership.
Either or both is a simple
matter. Only a majority vote is
necessary. The faculty men cast
their ballots in the same room.
There would appear to be no
dissenting voices on a proposi
tion to enforce the code of eth
ics. Likewise adoption of the
commissioner-type of method of
efficient regulation is believed
to be a certainty.
Atherton Favored
If a commissioner is named,
the man who dug up the infor
mation on what's wrong, Ather
ton, is regarded as the logical
candidate. Proponents of the
idea, in off the record talks,
favor him.
While the trend is toward
strictest enforcement of scholas
tic and financial policies, some
of the faculty representatives
evidenced tendencies of a more
liberal attitude.
Informal discussions defined
a clear division of thought in
the matter although none made
a statement of fact along this
line outside the conference
rooms. Roundabout questioning
disclosed that a small minority
appeared to favor more open
aid to athletes.

W) C. E. Chase, secretary
manager of the Washington
state apple advertising commis
sion, proposed today that an
"Apple Bowl" football game to
publicize Washington and its
major fruit crop be played in
Seattle.
He suggested the game be
between some outstanding team
in this state or the western ap
ple producing states and a team
from some eastern apple pro
ducing state. If the idea meets
with favor, he said, a meeting
might be called in Seattle in
February to get the idea
started.

I resolve to read my newspaper with my mental eyes
open
I resolve to read, not merely the headlines, but the
full story behind them. Only in this way can I be sure
to obtain complete, objective information about the
changing world I live in ? i am a part of.
I resolve to read the editor-' " hich interpret the
news and give a reasoned b.- r thought about it.
In this way I can create an attitude about life in my
own country, and abroad, which may develop into a
philosophy.
I resolve to read the advertisements, which as
faithfully as the headlines announce worth-while new
developments in the world of industry, of transporta
tion and of commerce. ... In this way I can add to
my fund of useful knowledge; learn to discriminate
between the good and the seeming good; and, by pur
chasing only what is advertised, I can provide for my
self and my family, thriftily, safely and pleasantly.
