This game will be part of the cam paign for an electric footboard scoreboard. Medford, after losing 45 to 44 on Friday, went into the Satur day fray at Grants Pass with a chance for at least a tie or Big Four honors.' But the Cavemen would have none of it. The Tornado looked less keyed up than the previous night and held margins of 16 to 11 and 25 to 23 at the half. But Grants Pass rose up in the third quarter to establish a lead that Medford couldn't erase. James' Shots Aid The Cavemen began their up hill climb in the second quarter holding a 23 to 21 edge briefly before the half. In the third pe riod the battle was deadlocked at 25 to 25, 27 to 27 and 29 to 29 before two free shots by little Dick James, making it 31 to 29 gave Grants Pass permanent command. A gift heave by Dennis Con ner cut the lead to 31 to 30 but the Cavemen tallied on field goals by John Harbour, Bruce Robertson and Larry Sschwein furt and a free toss by Harbor to stretch the advantage to 38 to 30 before Medford could score again. Trias Desperately Third quarter score was 40 to 33. Medford tried desperately in the final period to catch up. The Tornado, which has pulled many close ones out of the fire this season, just couldn't do it this time, managing only to cut the spreads to five points, 44 to 39 and 46 to 41, before the final buzzer. . Grants Pass piled up much of its margin at the free heave line. The Cavemen got 18 field goals to 17 by Medford and 13 out of 21 free tnes to seven out of ,14 by Medford. Medford, the same as Friday night, wasn't hitting with regularity from the field.

Use Mall Tribune Want Ada Medfordites Win Six Matches on Y Card The Y boxing team put on a thrilling battle against a joint aggregation from Roseburg and Eugene at the senior high gym Saturday and won 6 of their 13 bouts. v The Y team from Roseburg originally scheduled to match the Medford's YMCA team man for man was decimated by sick ness and at virtually the last minute substitutes from an ama tuer stable at Eugene were called in to fill the bill. Feature bout of the evening was the lightweight battle be tween Junior McDonald, Med ford, and Jack Houeston, Rose burg. McDonald, who won the Shorty Miles "best boxer" award looked by far the most polished of any boxer of the night Deck Rival From the opening gong, he scored with bristling lefts and smashing rights. Shortly before the round ended, he blasted Houeston to the canvas with a terrific right. The bell saved the Roseburg boxer' only briefly. In the second, McDonald again landed a thunderous right that decked his opponent. In the last stanza, he moved in and put his man away for the knockout. Another workmanlike job was performed by Medford's Eddie Baker, in the bantamweight di vision. Young Baker had just too much punch and speed for Kentucky Bars Bill Spivey From Sports Lexington, Ky. U.R) Seven- foot Bill Spivey, ail-American basketball center last season, was permanently barred from ath letic competition Monday by the athletic board of the University of Kentucky. We feel compelled to say it is our unanimous decision at this time that Spivey was implicated in a conspiracy to fix Kentucky basketball games during the 1950-51 season,'" said the board in announcing its decision. The surprise ruling came aft er Spivey had issued a statement in which he admitted never re porting receiving two bribe of fers, but vigorously denied that he had accepted the offers. Turned Down The giant player, considered one of the greatest centers in the history of the game, had been under temporary suspension from the team at his own re quest "until my name shall be cleared in the basketball scan dal." Two weeks ago, he applied for reinstatement, . but was turned, down. Last week he testi fied before the grand jury in New York.

London Ont U.P) Snm nf medicine's baffling mysteries are getting their most thorough study in a mtie-known section of the deoartment of veterans' affairs nospitai south ox here. The croiect. known as a clini cal investigation unit, is studying rheumatoid arthritis and allied conditions, psychiatric states and the relationship between nutri tion and surserv. It is also inves tigating one of science's enigmas, the aging process. Situated in one wins? nf th DVA hosnital. the unit has been operating only eight months. It was estaDiisnen under a two-year-old government scheme by which three similar units were set up in DVA hospitals in Mont real, Toronto and Vancouver. The unit is a hosnital within a hospital. It is staffed by 12 per sons: nurses, orderlies, kitchen staff, a dietitian and laboratory personnel. Conducting the re search are six staff doctors and consultants. The unit consists of a seven-bed ward a small specially-equipped kitchen and store room, and a laboratory designed specifically to serve the needs of the research program. Protein Studied In this Settine the resparrh workers are studying, in general, the body's chemistry, and in na re ticular, protein, metabolism, or tne Doay s use of protein, the tissue-building substance of food. The program consists of nlar- ing the seven patients in a rigid- ly-controued diet which varies little over a period of two weeks to three months. The exact nuan- tity of fats, carbohydrates, pro teins ana calories going into the natient's bodv is cnmctantiv known. By knowing the amount of protein taken into the body and the amount rejected as body waste, the scientists can deter mine the quantity used by the body in its chemical processes. In addition to seeking to pierce the mists of snecific nroblems the investigation unit is geared to study any obscure illness in volving the body's chemistry Portland Clubs Win Aqua Meet Portland -(UP.)--Two Portland swimming teams won top honors in the Far Western AAU swim ming and diving championships that concluded here Sunday.
