OREGON, SUNDAY, JANUARY 7, 1940 Medford Scores Easy Win Over University Hi in Second Game PEARPICKERS USE FAST BREAK, DOWN VISITORS 38 10 25 Kresse Tallies 16 Points Locals Hold Big Half Time Advantage. (Br Al Gould) Medford took the second game of the week-end series from University High of Eugene last night, when they used their fast-improving fast break of fense to roll up a 21 to 8 advantage in the first half, and then coast to a 38-23 win. The Tigers repeatedly out broke the upstate team, as Kresse sank 18 points, enough to take scoring honors. The game was, In the first half, the exact opposite of the first game, as Newland, Crosby and Gunnette all hit baskets In rapid-fire succession to start with a 6-0 lead. They held their margin with five minutes of the first half remaining, and stretched it to 21-8 at half-time. Two driving guards, Crosby and Stead, sparked the Tigers in the furious first half, literally running the Golden Tide into the floor, with their new-found power in the fast-break. The Tigers were slowed down as the second half began, but Coach Acheson found the prop er combination, and they were soon off once more, Through some nice shooting by Gatlin and DeAutremont, the Tide moved the score to 12-33, for Medford, when the Medfords began to roll again. University High seemed un able to cope with the Medford sharpshooters, and the outcome was never in doubt, as the Tigers checked the Tide shot makers to a standstill. The combination that seemed to click the best was Kresse, Gunnette, Newland, Crosby and Stead. Gatlin led his team-mates In the scoring column by hitting six field goals for a 12-point total. DeAutremont, who scored ' 14 In Friday's game, was kept to a total of five. Both teams were slightly tired from the previous clash, but the Tigers kept up the furious pace throughout, and showed Im provement in all departments. The game was fairly rough, with both Newlnnd of Medford, and Bergman of University be ing ousted with four personal fouls. In the preliminary, Jackson grade school defeated Washing ton in a tight game, 9-8. Line-ups: Medford Univ. High Kresse 18 F Bergman 2 Gunnette 4 F Gatlin 12 Newland 10 C Goddard 5 Crosby 7 ...

SOCE WINS WHILE PEARPICKERS LOSE IN FRIDAY'S GAME Before a capacity crowd at the high school gymnasium Fri day night, Jean Eberhart's fighting Southern Oregon Col lege of Education quintet hand ed the highly-touted Ruben steins of Eugene a 42-33 defeat. In the second game of the eve ning, University high defeated the Medford Tigers In a fast game, 28-23. The Sons took an early lead, and were never behind, as their lanky forward, Mulder led the way with 16 points. Rubensteins had difficulty in hitting the basket In the first half, connecting for but one field goal in the entire first period. In the second half, however. Laddie Gale began hitting his one-handed shots for which he is famous, and tallied 19 points to bring the Rubes back in the ball game. Hitting four field goals and a couple of free throws, the Sons counted nine points before Anet broke loose to hit one from In close. So tight was the Collegians' defense, that the Rubes made but one field goal the entire first half, the half time score standing at 19-6 for the Sons. The second period was more closely contested, as Johansen and Gale repeatedly sank shots from all over the court. How ever, the large lead was too much to overcome, and the Sons went home with a well-earned 42-33 victory, evening the series between the two teams at two apiece. March!, a smooth-performing guard, sparked the Sons attack, feeding the ball to Bassman, Mulder, and Sether. Gale of the Rubes took high point honors with 21 points, 19 coming In the second half. The high school game was exactly the opposite of the pre liminary, It being a ntp-and-tuck affair from the opening whistle. With Chuck DeAutremont, guard; leading the attack, the University five elected to race it out with the locals and beat them at their own game by taking a 28-23 win. The score at the quarter was 9-8 for Medford, while Univer sity high took the lead at the half, 17-16. At the start of. the second half, Newland sank one from the key-hole to give the Tigers another short-lived lead. Some more fancy shot-making by De Autremont kept the Golden Tide right at the Tigers heels, with the speedy guard making it 28-23 with two minutes re maining In the game. Kresse then potted a nice one from in close, to make It 23-28. and that's the way It stood at the final whistle. Bob Newland sprained his ankle In the fourth quarter, and Coach Acheson replaced htm to avoid further Injury. DeAutremont led all scorers with 14 points, while Kresse and Newland topped the locals with 10 each. In a game played Friday night at Klamath Falls, the Ash land Grizzlies recorded a 20-18 win over the Pelicans In the conference opener. Lineups: Sons: Rubes: Bassman 8 F ..

Twenty-eight were against Idaho. Four Ida hoans and two Orangemen were benched on four penal ties. The Beavers lost John and Frank Mandic, both starters, late In the game after two Idaho regulars, Atkinson and English, and two reserves had been banished.

It t. siniitnlied oj daily's Auto Painting I BULLETIN I 7 ORDER 4 CHANGES IN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULESiBETTlNA BATTLE Chicago, Jan. 6. (JP) The national interscholastic football rules committee wrote two more changes into the 1940 book to day. Their action, added to yes terday's alterations, represented a total of four changes in the high school game during the committee's two-day meeting. Several other proposals were re jected to permit further study and experimentation. Today's changes: 1. The referee will be In structed to whistle the ball dead as soon as he observes an Il legal shift. Thus there can be no declination of a penalty for this foul. The change is de signed to eliminate waste ac tion. 2. The penalty for any foul which occurs on a rushing play will be invoked either from the spot of the foul or where the ball Is dead, the offended team having the option of choosing the spot. The only exception will be when the foul occurred in advance of where the ball is dead, in which case the pen alty will be enforced from that spot. The two rules changes yes terday were designed to clarify forward pass regulations. The committee made it legal for two eligible receivers of the offensive team to touch an aerial before a defensive player had touched it. The other change ruled that any penalty on a forward pass Into the end zone is always invoked from the spot of the previous down on the first three downs. Other proposals on which ac tion was deferred included: Remove all limitations on the number of times a player can re-enter a game, allow any num ber of forward passes on a single down so long as all are thrown from behind the line of scrimmage and whistle the ball dead Immediately for any foul that happens while the Dall Is being snapped,' provided the infraction comes under the ref eree's Jurisdiction. TOPS IN LOS ANGELES PLAY Los Angeles, Jan. 6. (JP) Clayton Heafner of North Car olina moved into the lead at the halfway point of the annual $5,000 Los Angeles open today as par and heavy fairways threw back the attack of the nation's leading professional and amateur golfers. The husky blond from Char lotte toured the rain-soaked Los Angeles country club course in 68, two under par, and turned in a card for the second round of the tournament that read 71 68139. Heafner, who tied the course record of 64 last week, was one of four players able to break par on this stem layout todav. Crowding Heafner with 140's were E. J. (Dutch) Harrison of Little Rock, Ark., and Texas born Ben Hogan of White Plains, N. Y. Hogan had a 69 this afternoon and Harrison a 72 to go with his first round 68. RACING Los Angeles, Jan. 6.

(IP) Fred Apostoli, heavier and slower than he once was, but a more deadly puncher, Is back in pug ilism's top drawer today, a men ace to the 175-pound division. The San Francisco star, knocked loose from his middle weight crown by Ceferino Gar cia and widely regarded as "washed-up," returned to Mad ison Square Garden last night to win a gruelling 12-round de cision over Melio Bettina of Beacon, N. Y., former light heavy king. The battle was so close a big portion of the crowd of 7,707 roundly hooted the verdict. The referee and one Judge voted for Apostoli, the other Judge gave Bettina the nod. The Associated Press score sheets had them dead-even. Toward the last, both fighters were almost too tired to lift their sodden gloves. Bettina, a southpaw, knocked Apostoli down In each of the first three rounds for counts of nothing, eight and nine. Apos toli, throwing his right like a sledge-hammer, h a 1 f-knocked, half-pushed Bettina down for nine in the 10th chapter. Apostoli, who gained his first fame as a trim middleweight, appeared almost fat at 16934 pounds. Bettina, at 174, was the faster and landed more blows. They lacked the authority of his rival's however. Despite Apostoll's victory, it is extremely doubtful that Pro moter Mike Jacobs will give him another shot at Billy Conn, 175-pound title holder. Billy has knocked Fred's ears back twice. BASKETBALL Hljh schools (Friday gimes) Tillamook 30, Mllwaukla 39. Tlgard 37, Beaverton 19. Rainier 33, Scappoose 33. Salem 43, Oregon City 39.

ARABIAN WILL MEET DUDE IN MAIN TUSSLE Prince Silaki Ibn All Hassan Mihalakis, he of the big brown eyes and turban crested cran ium, will conflict with Dude Chick In Monday night's wrest ling card at the armory. The Prince returns to Medford after an absence of ov er three years during which time he has visited numerous wrestling arenas over most of the eastern states. The Prince upon his arrival here greeted many Medford fans yesterday and expressed happiness at be ing back. Wrestling is just sort of a hobby with the handsome Arabian, despite the fact that when he finishes with ring op ponents they are convinced that wrestling is definitely his big business. The talented Arab is by na ture a diversified soul and in the past several years has had numerous stories published, the latest of which is titled "The Wisdom of An Ass" and ap pears In Street and Smith's magazine "Unknown" which will be on newsstands here next week. He uses the pen name of Silaki All Hassan. Turning back the pages of local mat history, fans will re call that the Prince wrestled Dude Chick in one of the most spectacular draws that has ever been witnessed by Medfordites and it is anticipated that to morrow's bout will be every bit as sensational. In the middle event King Kong Clayton, the flashy ebony hued boy, will go with Joe Smolinskl, the chunky Pole who is mostly Palooka. The initial tussel will see Bob Mont gomery and Zim Zimovich, a big Finn, twirl the mat. It will be Ladies' night and this means that any one who buys a ticket may take a wom an in free.
