Spirits rtOKIA, IlllNOII Sport Chips BY Harry Chipman Mall Tribune Sports Editor Medford bids farewell tomor row to Virgil Swanson, who leaves for army induction at Fort Lewis, Wash. Swanson has been associated with the sports pic ture In Rogue River valley for years and his services will he greatly missed by those with whom he has worked. After his arrival at Fort Lewis, Swanson says he will apply for entrance into the navy. He Is a former basketball and football star at Medford high school and was quarterback on Prink Calllson's 1027 grid team which walloped McLoughlin high of Milton-Freewater 45 to 0 for the state championship. He played forward on Calllson's 1027-28 basketball squad which lost out to Washington high of Portland in two overtime pe riods, by two points, for the state basketball crown. Swanson, 35 year old em ployee of the Medford postofflce, has been a basketball referee in the county "A" and "B" lea gues off and on for 10 years and has worked several of Medford's games this season. For several years he played independent bas ketball in the county and also was a baseball player with Inde pendent teams and held down center field with the Craters for one season. For 12 years Swanson has been usher and ticket taker for Mack Llllard at the Armory wrestling matches. Mrs. Swanson and daughter, Barbara Lee, will make their home with Mrs. Swanson's mother, Mrs. Lee Wakefield, at Jacksonville during his absence. Medford hlgh'a casaba crew will win the district basketball tournament at Ashland Feb. 23 and 24 and go on to annex the state , title at Salem March 15, 16 and 17, so says the "talking table" to which we were Intro duced recently. Just how the thing works Is beyond the narrow limits of our mentality. Four people gathered around an ordinary card table with their hands placed lightly on It, legs not touching. After several minutes of repeating a chant, one side of the table slowly lifted, believe it or not. After asking the table several questions to which It tapped out answers, we asked It If Al Simp son's gang would win the dis trict title; tap once for yes and twice tor no. It tapped once. Then we asked If they would win the state toga again it tapped once. Not being acquainted with the i powers of the supernatural and not wishing t go against same, we are inclined to string along with the table in its selection of Medford as the district and state champions.
