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.

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

Oregon State college took ad
vantage of Washington's defeat
by W.S.C. at Seattle tonight to

conference by beating Idaho, 42
to 38.
It was the second triumph
over the Vandals for the giant
Orangemen.
The game, closer than yes
terday's 48-36 encounter, was
highly seasoned In the second
half. The bitter battling pro
duced 45 fouls. 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.
Idaho again took an early
lead as Ramey scored two bas
kets in the first two minutes.
The visitors remained ahead or
in a tie until late in the half
when Frank Mandic's goal
broke a 14-14 deadlock. Hunter
Increased the Orange lead with
another field goal before Val
cnti banged In two field goals
and a free toss.
At the half Oregon State had
a 6-point lead, 24-18.
Idaho threw everything they
had at the big Beavers In the
last half in a scoring effort to
win. Once they slashed the
Beaver lead to three points.
Oregon State pulled away but
a second Idaho rally, engineer
ed chiefly by subs, whacked the
margin down to four points as
the gun sounded.

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.

APOSTOLI AFTER
S
New York, 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.

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

Louma, after the latter returned
from a theater, ine omj
slumped against a davenport
with the head split open and
wounds in the breast. Death
apparently was caused by an
axe, Chief Schmidt said, and
the breast wounds probably
were inflicted by a large fork
as they were evenly spaced and
in five-inch circles.
The house was found In wlla
disorder, with newspapers, mag
azines and contents of drawers
scattered about the rooms, but
authorities said there was no
apparent systematic search of
the nome.
Coupled with the finding of
bloodstains near the home, au
thorities considered the possi
bility she may have been killed
away from the house and her
body brought back.
Law was attending a union
meeting at the time of the
killing and his wife's parents,
who lived In the house, were
at a theater. The Laws' three-year-old
