Bill Bowerman Tells
Oregon Hope In Track
In Letter to Tribune
Eugene, Jan. 18 (Special to
Mail Tribune) "Our (track) ex
pectations are very hiijh . . .
but . . . sometimes expectations
blow up in one's face. (Still) I
feel It Is better to aim for the
tars than to Just shoot over the
hen house."
Bill Bowcrman, ex-Medford
high track and football coach,
and now head track mentor and
freshmen gridiron tutor at the
University of Oregon, wrote
those words recently in a letter
to Sports Editor Hank Green of
the Medlord Mail xriDune.

"Athletically, I have enjoyed
my work here (university) very

"(But) It Is going to be mighty

"This year we expect to do

USC Offers Dual Meat
' "Southern California, the per
ennial national champions, paid
us the compliment of wanting to
meet us (Oregon varsity) in a
dual track meet. We were will
ing but could not match dates
with USC . . . Their depth
would have given (hem a victory
but we certainly would have
shown some interesting competi

"We have Earl Stelle (cx-Mcd.

to place well up in any Uoast
conference competition . . ."
Herb Nill Mentioned
"In the discus we have Herb
Nill (another ex-Tornado track

The former Medford coach
also mentioned several other
outstanding varsity track pros

George Rasmusscn, second best

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.
