SIX AAU QUINTS START SEASON IN T Triple-Header Slated for High School Gym 1939 Champs Out of Circuit In a grand opening at the Medford senior high school gym tonight, the Jackson county AAU basketball league will lift the curtain on ita 10-game sched ule with six independent quin tets due to take oft in the race which will mean a trip to the state AAU tournament for the county champions. Tonight's triple-header will open at 7 o'clock sharp, with Cold Hill meeting Prospect. An hour later Central Point will slash with Jacksonville. Final game on the program will find the strong Lost River Dairymen moving against the Southern Pa cific quintet of Medford. Belated inaugurals are slated for other loop clubs. Saturday evening in Ashland, in a pre liminary to the SOCE-Klnmath AU-Star encounter, the Little Eons will play Medford's First National Bankers. Next Tuesday the remaining teams in the cir cuit, split into two divisions, will open fire. Hunter Dixon and Tommy White are slated to take care of the officiating duties this vening. Fred Lennard, Medford AAU representative, said today that Ingle's Cowboys, last year's league champions, had dropped out of the circuit, leaving 11 quintets to carry on. He stated that if another team couldn't be found to replace Ingle's, the A division would operate with five clubs and the B division with a -half dozen.

(TP) Two players who would be described in horse racing circles as "superior muddcrs" set the pace today as a reduced field of 12B teed off in the second round of the $5,000 72-hole Oak land golf tournament. Fancy 67's, three under 'par, executed under such trying cir cumstances as rain, some wind and plenty of stnnding water, put Craig Wood, blonde profes sional from Mnmaroncck, N. Y., nd Wilford Wehrle, amateur from Racine, Wis., in the fore front. . Wood had a 85-32, Wehrle 82-35. The Sequoyah course par is 70. Nineteen of the 214 starters equalled' or bettered that fig ure. For a rain-pelted bunch who like to golf in fair weather, It was considered a feat worth talking about long after dark ness hrl chased home some of the tail-cnders with unfinished rounds. Die Mall Tribune waut ids. Medford h I g h's basketball Tigers open their Southern Ore gon conference cage season against the Klamath high Pell cans at Klamath Falls tonight, and follow It up with a non conference clash with the same quintet Saturday evening. The Tigers, with Coach Russ Acheson and Student Manager Jimmy Elliott, left Medford In automobiles early this afternoon and will spend tonight In Klam ath, returning home after the game Saturday. Acheson said the locals would open with Fred Gunnctte and Walt Krcsse at the forwards, Bob Newland at center and Billy Piche and Verne Johnston at the. guards. Other players making the trip were Reed and Glfford, forwards: Holmes, cen ter; and Fawcctt, Williams and Crosby, guards. Crosby, the coach stated, won't be able to play In the game tonight as he Is being dis ciplined from the office for "skipping" a couple of classes this week. He will be available Saturday evening, however. The games will provide a basis of comparing the relative strength of Medford and Ash land quintets, who are expected to fight it out for the district 9 championship and statp tourn ament berth. Ashland defeated the Pelicans, 20 to 18. With his first start here In three years made highly suc cessful by a slashing victory over Dude Chick last Monday evening, Prince Silaki Ali Has san Mehalikis, one of the game's better legitimate workmen, tests his mettle in next Monday's main event on King Kong Clay ton, a colored boy from Birm ingham who is rapidly becom ing one of the best-liked torso tuggers of the past few seasons. Like this week's top struggle, which was a sparkling exhibir tion of clean and fancy mat work by a pair of master wrest lers, the upcoming feature at traction on a fine card should again provide the ultimate in orthodox, but none-the-less thrilling grapple action. It goes without saying that Clayton knows all the answers as regards straight business in side the squared circle; his sev eral matches here having proved him a fine, clever wrest ler. As for' Mehalikis, he has a national reputation for his sparkling ability, and he lived up to it against Chick on the last Mack Lillard shindig. While the top bout will most certainly be on the strict up and up, the same can't be said for the middle nor opening tea parties. Chick meets Bob Mont gomery in the center face-off, and the latter is well known to have villainous tendencies when the going gets tough, as it Is bound to do when the cow boy starts working. Joe Smolinski, the winlcss Polish Palooka, swears he is go ing to beat somebody soon and remove himself from the role of trial horse. He goes against Zlm Zimovich of Finland on next Monday's card and the lo cal addicts are unanimous in their opinion that Joe will still be looking for a victory after the match. Sport Graphs Billy Hnlen lays: Shaughnessy to Lift Card Into Chicago's Class allowed to overshadow the game." Altrock added, however, that the funny stuff has its place In baseball. "In fact," he said, "it's saved the day for many a fan when the game itself was not so hot." E COLLIDE TONIGHT to- By the Associated Press A basketball natural, night's game between Oregon State's Beavers and Oregon uni versity's Webfoots, is expected to draw a record throng in Eu gene. The state rivals will be bat tling for the leadership of the northern division, Pacific Coast conference. They enter the game In a dead heat, each with two victories and no defeats in con ference play. The Washington State Cou gars and Idaho Vandals will play tomorrow night In Pullman. SHRINE GAME BRINGS $52,000 TO HOSPITAL San Francisco, Jan. 12. (U.R) The Shrine Hospital for Crip pled Children today received a check for more than $52,000 from the annual east-west foot ball game played here New Year's day. m aw e LL5UU spam M3S 1- .

' frAt7.ftTmffi J At least one thing can be said in favor of Stanford's hiring of Clark Shaughnessy as its head football coach the Palo Alto institution is gradually working up the scale. We make the bold prediction that inside of five years, per haps by 1943, the Indians under Shaughnessy will crash through to three grid wins in one season. This may sound like a lot of optimistic tripe to many close followers of the Stanford foot ball fortunes, if they can be called such, but we offer the fol lowing data as proof that the Cardinals' stock is certain to en joy a sensational rise under their new mentor; In 1939, which means the cam paign Just' past, . Stanford won one (1) gridiron combat with Claude (Tiny) Thornhill at the helm. During this same season, the University of Chicago, from whence Shaughnessy hails, power-housed its way to two (2) foot ball conquests, thus enjoying ex actly twice the gridiron success that Stanford did. In conjunction with these en lightening facts, it might ncre be emphasized that Chicago's two victories were scored over such big-time clubs as Wabash and Oberlin, whereas Stanford's lone chance to cheer was after the Dartmouth game." I is true that shortly after the season was completed the Uni versity of Chicago decided to j abolish football. The reason for ! this move wasn't, as many per sons believe, due to the low standard of Chicago football. In stead, the Maroons gave up the game because they had won more than their share of Big Ten titles sr.d wanted some of the other schools to catch up. Getting back to our original theme, we forecast a sharp up swing in Stanford's (mis)-for-tunes under the inspirationol leadership of such a successful grid tutor as Shaughnessy. Shaughnessy undoubtedly is what the boys call a "winning coach." Through his veins runs the fire of victory. No defeatist complex plagues him like it does Buck Shaw, whose Santa Cl-.ra rnnms hnve ineloriousl v drooped two games in four years and who I was available, incidentally lor i the Stanford coaching Job ! Stanford's new mentor will be a vast improvement over Tiny Thornhill, who, during his stay cn "the farm," managed to place i only three consecutive elevens in the Rose Bowl. Last season s records irrevocably prove that J Shaughnessy will have It all , over Thornhill, for didn't his I Chicago team thunder to two ' victories as against one accumu lated by Tiny's men? We think, without a shadow of a doubt, a new era is in store for Stanford; a glorious gridiron period in which the mighty In dians will go on the rampage against such football powers as Chico State. Nevada, the Cal Aggies and San Francisco. They might not win 'em all, but those I other clubs will know they have I been in a football game, by j garsh! I Medford's four grade school basketball teams, composed of the future high school stars, will stage their grand league opening in the senior high school gym nasium Saturday night begin ning at 7.30. There will be no admission charge and the. pub lic is invited. In the first game Washington will go against Roosevelt, with Jackson and Lincoln tangling in the night-cap. Included on the program will be two numbers staged by grade school pep groups. CLASS B QUINTS TANGLE TONIGHT St. Mary's high of Medford will entertain Prospect high in the St. Mary's gymnasium to night as a dozen Jackson coun ty class B quintets move into their third round of champion ship action. All games will start following 7:30 prelimin aries. In division 1, in addition to the local clash, Jacksonville will travel to Eagle Point and Talent will invade Butte Falls. The division 2 schedule will find Kerby playing at Gold Hill, Rogue River at Phoenix and Sams Valley at Central Point.

Comes a warning from Nick Altrock, who started the whole thing in the first place, that base ball shouldn't mix too much horseplay and "sideshow" enter tainment with the actual playing of the game. Recalling words of the late Ban Johnson, former prexy of the American league who once told him that his stunts wen "great stuff, but don't let them interfere" with the game Itself.
