Newspaper Page TextPAGE FOUH MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1942. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Jandreau Makes Ashland Choice In Medford Tilt Medford invades Ashland Fri day night for the initial phase of the two teams' annual four game basketball hostilities and because of Charlie Jandreau the Tiger will be the short-enders In the best betting circles. The slender Grizzly forward, in his club's last three games, has turned in scoring perform ances so spectacular as to indi cate he is headed for his best season. This is his third with the Lithie City five. Against Grants Pass, Klamath Falls and Roseburg, Jandreau was practically unstoppable He broke the hearts of the Cavemen with 19 points, came back for 19 tallies in the Pelican fracas, and dropped IT through the hoop to befuddle the Indians. That's manufacturing points In true "Luisetti" style. It's a total of SI for three tilts. or an average of 17 per clash. With a guy like that around, the opposition isn't exactly in n enviable position. It would be a different story If Medford had somebody who could produce markers In the same, nor nearly same, assembly-line fashion. But the hard boiled truth is that Russ Ache son's crowd hasn't. Or if they have, he hasn't projected him self Into the picture thus far. Until Darrell Monteith be came feverish and rolled up 16 points against Grants Pass Tues day eve, the highest Individual point total for any Bengal in any one game was 11. Bill Wall and Hank Herman each got that many In the Marshileld game. In the Little Sons game, Lee Reynolds was high scorer with seven points. Herman's six tal lies was high for the North Bend affair and Montelth's six was loftiest for the Corvalll over time struggle. Medford, with that 16-polnt Monteith performance excepted, has been forced to accumulate points on a team basis, with very player contributing his share. Nobody, besides the afore mentioned Monteith, has heated up to a high-scoring point Now its true. 89 times out of 100. that a five-man team Is better than a so-called "one man" team. We believe In that theory. But and here's the catch so far as Medford and Ashland are concerned, the Crisslies are decidedly not "one-man" team, despite the fact Jandreau has been enjoy ing field days on the maple. In those same three games that Jandreau scored 81 points, his running mate at forward. Bud Provost, was also punish ing the hoop. To the tune of 31 points for a per-game average of 10.3. That is highly respect able point-making in Itself, and certainly proves that Jandreau isn't the only lad who can ring the gong for the Grizzlies. We remember one Medford Ashland game last year when Jandreau was stopped cold as per Tiger plan. So Provost made something like 24 points wnlch. of course, won the game for Ashland. This corner believes Medford CAN beat Ashland, for the cur rent Bengals have as much fight and spirit as any prep team we have seen in a long time. But certain things will have to occur If the Grizzlies are to be whipped. Jandreau and Provost must be checked much closer than they have been In their last three games. That in our hum ble opinion. Is the main thing In addition. Medford must get that leather through the hoop by tome manner of meant. Ither by an individual Tiger going polnt-crasy as Monteith did against Grants Pats, or the entire team di viding enough points to over come the foe. Reds Withdraw Tucson Support; Loop Shakes Tucson.

S. Lawn Ten nis association Is about to take the game away from the stars and hand It over the boys who still find the net too high. The first step in adjusting the U.S.L.T.A. program to wartime requirements will be taken at the organization's annual meet ing here Saturday, with Presi dent Holcombe Ward advocating a plan to "get people out of the grandstand and onto the courts. Specifically, Ward will re quest the executive committee to cancel the national indoor tournament for men this year and let the outdoor champion ships, both singles and doubles, be decided in one tournament at Forest Hills instead of sep arately as in the past If Ward's plan is approved, the one national outdoor tour nament for both men and wo men in singles and doubles will be held here August 27 to Sep tember 7. The plan does not in volve the women's Indoor meet. "Most of the ranking players among the men probably will be in service by then," Ward said, "but there will be many young men under military age to mi their places, thanks to the association's Junior develop ment program." In the future. Ward said, the U.S.L.T.A. will pay less atten tion to the first 10 ranking players and more attention to the rank and file. Oakland, Cel., Jan. IS. CP) 'The only reason I made the trip west this year," said vol uble Leonard Dodson, "was to repeat my victory in the Oak land open. This Is my course here. Watch my smoke!" The Kansas City golfer re ferred to Oakland's Sequoyah Country club, a par-70 layout over which he operated last year with sufficient skill to beat out Ben Hogan and E. J. Dutch" Harrison In a playoff for the biggest piece of the an nual $5,000 pot. Dodson and some IBS other professionals and amateurs be gan the 72-hole swing again to day, and in tills group there waa a goodly number ready and perhaps qualified to cool the de fending champ's aspirations to another $1,200 purse.

Beaver publicist Bud Forres ter tipped several days before Lon Stlner returned to Corval lis that the Oregon State coach didn't want the Nebraska Job, vacated by Biff Jones, because "Stlner thinks so much of Neb raska he Just couldn't stand it if he were coaching the team and lost a game." L. H. Gregory of the Oregon- Ian thinks that Oregon State's Rose bowl cash will come to about $35,000 by the time all the slices are shaved off the original western allotment.
