be recovered from their recent
slump and, with their clever
ness and spirit, pull an upset
With Ralph Carroll at 6 feet 7

Horton at 6-4, the Pelicans will
have a commanding height ad

Medford high's district cham

Saturday night when the Black
Tornado was calmed 49 to 41 by
the sturdy Grants Pass Cave
men at Grants Pass.
The Cavemen's victory brought
the 1951-1952 basketball season
to a disappointing conclusion for
Medford.
Before the Tornado went into
its week-end series with Grants
Pass, it held a one-game lead
over Klamath Falls in the South
ern Oregon conference Big Four
division. But Medford's Friday

Cavemen, while Klamath Falls
was rapping Ashland twice, gave
the crown to Klamath.

March 27 left before mothballing
their suits for the year. 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.

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.

Many Medicinal Mysteries
Receiving Thorough Study
T ammm .flint r . .
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
