(Still) I feel It Is better to aim for the tars than to Just shoot over the hen house."

Phont 2-524J Ortfon Amy Wadnasday, January II, ItIO Oregon Frosh Try Out New Cagers Rule Eugene, Ore., Jan. 18. (U.R) The University of Oregon fresh men won a 71-53 basketball independent team representing game here last night against the the Oregon Lumber sales in a game staged as a test of the new two-minute rule. The test game called for a 15-fouls-pcr-team limit with the op posing team getting a bonus shot for every foul over 15 commit ted. The frosh committed 14 fouls but the Lumber Sales squad fouled 21 times to give Oregon six bonus shots in addition to the regular free throws. Devised By Burnett The foul limitation rule was devised by Bob Burnett, assist ant basketball coach at Stanford university. Stanford freshmen and jayvees are playing some 40 games this year under the new rule to give it a thorough tcrt. In the new rule, no player is benched when he makes his fifth foul. The rule has its strongest ef fect near the end of the game in that the losing team would not de liberately foul an opposing play er for fear of having two points, instead of one, scored against his team. . Snead, Hogan Slate Match Los Angeles, Jan. 18. (U.R) Ben Hogan and Sammy Snead, a pair of drawling drivers, met today in their delayed playoff for the Los Angeles Open Golf championship the climax to Hogun's stirring comeback from the verge of death. The playoff over the long, tough Riviera Country club lay out may emerge as one of golfs classic matches as the two vet eran pros, both among the all time greats, go after $2,600 first place money. Loser in the 18-holes of medal play picks up $1,900 and each will share equally in 50 per cent of the gate from an expect ed crowd of 10,000. The playoff goes into a "sud den death" extension if Hogan and Snead are tied after 18 holes. That means the first to win a hole would win the match. Slammin' Snmmy, the Sulphur Springs, W. Va., long driver, was sure he at last had mastered the Riviera course and could handle "the little fellow."

Junior High Hoopsters Win, Lose At Ashland Medford junior high basket ball team made it two victories over Ashland junior high quin tets against one defeat by the Lithia city boys when the local varsity tipped Ashland's ninth graders 51 to 34 after the Lithia city eighth graders downed Med ford's boys 39 to 21 at Ashland last night. Last week the local seventh grade quintet had downed Ash land's seventh graders. Varsity Undefeated While the local varsity con tinued its undefeated record its up-to-now almost impregnable defense suffered a severe jolt as one Ashland boy Tenny tip ped tn 14 points for the most any one opposing player has scored against the local varsity in many a game. Coach Mel Boldenow said that "something will have to be done" about that Tenny boy the next time Medford plays Ashland. The same youth also played in the eighth grade contest and walked off with 14 points in that also. I lie local varsity s defense up to last evening had been holding opponents to but 25 points or less in a game. Nothing seemed to go right for Medford last night in guarding opponents so chances are Boldenow will be putting his varsity boys through tough workouts.
