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.

BY USLTA TO GET
War Forces Tennis Moguls
To Turn Eyes To Rank
And File; May Cancel Meet
By Austin Bealmear
New York, Jan. 15. yPV
Faced with the problem of car
rying on through the war with
what players the armed forces
don't need and the professionals
don't want, the U. 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.

CHINESE TROOPS
FOR JAP ATTACK
Rangoon, Burma, Jan. 15.
0P Chinese army advance
units have reached points in
Burma from which an offensive
against Japanese-held territory
ultimately may be developed, it
was disclosed today.
A communique said that "pre
parations for cooperation with
China are well in hand. Liaison
between Chinese and British
staffs proceeds."
The possibility that the Jap
anese may attempt simultan
eous attacks on Singapore and
Burma is recognized by military
circles here but they gave as
suance that defensive prepara
tions for such an eventuality are
being made as well as the longer
range development of striking
power.
