Ross, Atlas Conquer
Dusette and LaBelle
Tony Ron and the Great At
las were too rough and tough for
Georges Dusette and Pierre La
Belle last night and won the tag
team wrestling headliner at the
armory.
Ross and the Atlas gained a
big advantage over their adver
saries by continually outsmart
ing Referee Earl Yoakley when
he was attempting to break
them.
The first fall came when Ross
forced LaBellc to yell "uncle"
with a toe hold. Ross and his
partner took turns in applying
the pressure, thus not only add
ing to LaBelle's discomfort but
drawing yells of protest from
the near-capacity crowd.
Crowd Responds
Between falls the Atlas and
Ross refused to return to the
ring until Promoter Mack Lil
lard appealed to the crowd to
cease throwing objects into the
ring.
The only fall for the French
men came when LaBelle felled
Ross with three drop kicks. La
Belle had shoved Ross into a cor
ner where Dusette was waiting
for him. Dusette applied a full
nelson from outside the ropes
and held Ross while LaBelle ap
plied the finisher.
The Atlas and Ross turned
their illegal stuff nearly to per
fection to trap LaBelle in a half
crab, with the Atlas applying the
pressure, to gain the winning
duke.
Dusette Shows Ire
Dusette, burned over the out
come and the way it was ob
tained, jumped into the ring and
took turns shaking Ross and the
Atlas with full nelsons before it
was broken up.
Norval Stockstill, substituting
for the injured LceGrable, turn
ed in one of the best matches of
his spotty career but lost two
straight falls to the veteran Karl
Gray in the opener.
Lillard announced that he is
arranging an outstanding card
for next Thursday. Among those
already signed are Pete Belcas
tro, Frank Stojack, Tony Ross,
Georges Dusette and the Great
Atlas.

fans are recalling the four times
that Medford high took part
with the Black Tornado winning
two titles and losing a pair. The
tournament opens this year at
Eugene March 14.
Medford copped its first title
in 1924 when it defeated Eugene
by a score of 21 to 15, according
to unofficial information. The
second time the Black Tornado
took top honors was in 1929
when it toppled Astoria 35 to 14.
Lost In 1928 And 1939
The local youths came out
second best in 1928 when they
dropped a 27 to 23 decision to
Washington (Portland) and again
in 1939 when the Tornado lost
out to Salem 34 to 26.
Salem has won the state cham
pionship trophy six of the 31
times the state tourney has been
held and has been runner-up on
eight other occasions for the best
record of any team.
Astoria has taken six tourney
titles but appears to be out of
the running this year.
Basketball prospect in Med
ford look unusually bright for
three or four years to come with
several "natural" players com
ing up from the junior high team
to the senior high squad next
year and another group of youths
with talent due to appear there
In about two years.
The varsity or ninth grade
quintet at the junior high has
Just finished two basketball sca
ons that saw it lose but one
game out of the 25 or 30 played.
Whil in eighth grad team
does not hav quit as bright
record over two yean it has
lost but a small number, in-,
eluding only two or three this
iMion.
This corner may be putting
Itself out on the limb but far
but we believe that by 1953 at
the latest, the Medford high bas
ketball team will be playing once

In the last two. the Black Tor
nado should be one of the best
in the state.
Everyone in the sports writ
ing business has a style of ex
pression and all newspapers fol
low a style that to the reader
and understander of sports
makes story about a basket
ball game, or a baseball game or
even a cricket match something
most of us can understand.
The other day a newspaper
from Granton-on-Spay in Scot
land cam to Th Mail Trib
une and In it was a writaup
of torn sporting vnt that
p u t 1 d th iporti-mlndd
news staff.
Here are a few quotations just
to show you what we mean:
"Adopting the wrong tactics
on a treacherous pitch close
passing and a tendency to walk
the ball home led to Grantown
making their exit from the
Strathspey Welfare F. A. Char
ity cup when they went under
by the odd goal In three to league
champions Craigrllachie.
"Play was fnirly even In the
first half and both goals had
narrow escapes. Craig got the
only goal when a home player
handled in the box and Stewart
netted from the spot . . .
Th Crantown dloni wr
too olttn llxti and sevens . . .
Th wing halvn worked hard
all through . . . Th Inild nan
wr Ineffective ..."
For those unfamiliar with Eng
lish sports, the game being
played was their version of football.
One of the most important
items that makes a big differ
ence between a sports champion
and a runner-up or last place
club is condition. This applies to
non-school sports as well as to
boy and girls students taking
part in athletics.
Rogue River high Is a good
example of a B school basketball
squad being in top physical con
dition being able to "outrun"
its opponents and thus wearing
them down.
Medford high is a fin x
ampl ol an A school basket
ball and football squad that
might b slow In starting but
could kp up a fast pac or
van Increase th pac In th
scond half. This not only can
tlr an opponent out but can
increase the ratio of local
goals mad or those missed.
Did You Know Medford
was offered two topnotch bas
ketball games between major
Coast conference colleges if it
had had the facilities to care for
a crowd of at least 2.500 people?
