BIX MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
CCNY Favored Over Bradley
For National Cagers Title
New York, Mar. 28 (U.R City
College o New York, the choice
of hard-hearted bookmakers,
eagle-eyed visiting coaches and
34,250 biased students, is a two
point favorite to beat Bradley
tonight and become the first col
lego basketball team ever to win
two national championships in
one season.
A victory for CCNY will give
Coach Nat Holman's Beavers the
first sweep of the national invi
tation and NCAA tournament
titles- .1 VIT
CCNY beat Bradley in the MT
finals last week, 60 to 61, and
tonight's NCAA clash also will
mark the first time the same
two teams have played for both
crowns in the same season.
CCNY Sophomore Team
rrw's suddenly poised soph
omores are solid choices to whip
the hard running prides of Pe
oria 111., again but both teams
are tired and the result may de
pend largely on the two cohi.ih.-s.
CCNY's young team has played
28 games this season, including
tix straight tournament tri
umphs; Bradley has played 35.
including five tournament
tussles.
With the outcome depending
largely on judicious use of sub
stitutes and ability of the key
players to keep from being put
out on fouls, can young Forddy
Anderson, Bradley's 30-year-old
coach, outmaneuver Holman.
veteran of 31 coaching teasons at
CCNY?
Dtfsni on Dambrol
Will Anderson find a defense
to stop Irwin Dambrot, CCNY
senior co-captain, from scoring
from the foul circle with his left
handed jump shots? Local teams,
familiar with the slim, pre-dental
student's favorite shot, kept him
under control but Dambrot, ac
cording to Anderson, "killed' his
Braves in the NIT final when he
scored 23 points.
Baylor and North Carolina
State will meet in the consola
tion game for third place in the
opener of the Madison Square
Garden doublehearier.
Sain Voices
Balk Protest
St. Petersburg. Fla., Mar. 28
U.ri The reaction of big league
pitchers to baseball's new balk
rule can be summed up In two
words: "We object."
Johnnv Snin, star right-hander
of the Boston Braves, is the
latest to voice his displeasure in
heated terms.'
Johnny, who usually limits
himself to two words in an en
tire season "hello," when he re
ports in the spring and "good
bve" when he heads for his New
port, Ark., home in early Octo
ber roasted the new regulation
at length after five balks were
called in the Braves' 18 to 16
victory over the Detroit Tigers
yesterday.
"The rules committee Is made
up chiefly of hitters and fans
who don't want to see the pitch
ers get a break." he said. "It's
hard for me at this late date to
change my entire pitching style
Just for the sake of those who
want to see the hitters dominate
the game."

NEW HOME?
CT
TuMday. March 28, 1950
abilily but lacked power at bat
Medford made but five hits off
Jacksonville pitchers for an 8-to-1
win.
Although the track meet with
the Cavemen last week was what
is called a "short distance'' af
fair, in which the regular run
ning events are cut a quarter so
the 100 becomes a 75-yard race,
the 220 a 150, the 440 a 330 and
so on, Medford looked like a
tough foe.
Grants Pass was missing sev
eral of its key men in the meet,
including boys on the state cham
pionship runner-up basketball
team who were resting after the
recent state tournament. Chances
are that when these youths re
turn the Cavemen will be
tougher.
Better Balanced Now
Medford looked much better
balanced this year than it was
in 1949 when the Black Tornado
was strong in running events but
relatively weak in the field
events. This season while the
running events may still be the
stronger, the field events have
improved.
Yesterday the high school
baseball .squad went through
hitting, fielding and strategy
drills under Coaches Alex Mc
Donald and Frank Roelandt. The
pitchers got into the act with a
drill in which they fielded bunts
and threw the ball to either of
the bases or to home.
Drill by the track team can
didates consisted largely of keep
ing loose by running or throwing
the discus or shot. Improved
timing on getting started in
races and the stride to use in
hurdling or in pole vaulting wus
also stressed by the boys.
New Balk Rule Dated
For Coast Ball League
Los Angeles .Mar. 28 (U.R)
Pitchers in the Pacific Coast
Baseball league will be working

PCL umpires to discuss 1950 rule
changes.

Buffalo. N .Y., Mar. 28 (U.R)
The revelation that N.B.A.
Champion Ezzard Charles is suf
fering from a heart injury today
threatened the already jumbled
heavyweight situation with com
plete chaos.
It was not definitely known
whether Charles' injury would
prove serious enough to force
his retirement, but boxing men
were viewing with alarm the
prospect of the confusion that
would follow such a move.
One Thing Certain
However, as of today, only one
thing was certain the N.B.A.
title fight scheduled here tomor
row night between Charles and
Freddie Beshore of Oakland,
Cal., is off.
Promoter Dewey Michaels can

last night by the New York state
athletic commission that Charles,
stylish Cincinnati Negro, was
not physically fit to appear.
Michaels' action went further
than the action proposed to him
by the commission an "indefi
nite postponement."
Ready Two Months
But Michaels also apparently
was regarding Charles' injury as
possibly more serious than the
official report of the commis
sion's doctors, who said that
Charles should be ready to fight
again in two months.
"Charles has been told that he
has a heart injury," said
Michaels as he began the gloomy
business of returning the $30,000
advance ticket sale. "We don't
know whether he'll be able to
fight again."
The discovery of the heart in
jury was credited by a commis
sion official to one of the new
"safety" tests that have recently
been inaugurated for New York
fighters following the death in
New York city of Middleweight
Lavern Roach after a knockout.
Softballers
Meet April 3
The Medford Softball associa
tion will meet next Monday,
April 3, at a place to be an
nounced later. President Bill
Catey. who is retiring president
this year, said last night's meet
ing was called off when a meet
ing place could not be located.
Next week's meeting will be
the first 1950 association session
to plan for the season schedule
and sec if there are enough
teams in Medford interested to
organize a local league.
One report this morning was
that at least one prospective
manager had contacted Softball
teams in Grants Pass and Ash
land to sec if a league made up of
teams from those communities
plus Medford and perhaps other
towns could be formed.
It was known that at least two
of last year's sponsor would not
have local teams this season.
Ticket Sales Up
For Mat Rematch
Mack Lillard, local wrestling
promoter, today reported an un
usually heavy upsurge in seat
reservations for Thursday night's
card with the announcement yes
terday that Georges Dusette and
Frank Stoiack would meet in a
return match.
Fans had hardly settled down
to witness what promised to be
a gruelling affair when the prin
cipals fell from the ring. Dusette
was so injured in the tumble
that he was unable to resume
hostilities.
Lillard figures the return
dale should be a "whoppcroo"
with both men out to show they
could have won last week.
The supporting card, as usual
on Lillard's shows, will rival the
main event for action. The mid
dle encounter pits Leo Wallack,
currently the class class of the
northwest, against Tough Tony
Ross and the opener, slated to
start at 8:30 p.m., sends Danno
McDonald against Charley Carr.
