Ashland Rodeo Grounds ' Helsinki (U.R) America's eiant basketball stars drew the scorn of Russia and Communist China Friday but the Reds still were quicker than a fox in a forest fire to use the, big boys from - the U.S.A. as models of just how the game should be played. Everytime the over-vitamined Yanks take, to the court, the sidelines look like a conference session of secret agents compar ing notes on the atom bomb. Record Every Shot Soviet cameras record every foul shot and Russian coaches openly make precise diagrams of American plays. The Reds are touchy, too, that anybody should think they don't have any soft shoe skyscrapers. "Do you think that we, a country of 200,000,000 people could not have chosen players even taller than the Ameri cans?" one Russian exclaimed. "We thought this was a game for normal people. Now we know it isn't." They're liable to regret cracks like that when our kids play Russia in the finals on Saturday. Communist China has moved into the act willingly. They were sitting along the sidelines Thurs day, during the U. S.-Argentine game with their coach, the in scrutable "Mr. Young," lectur ing as if it was a classroom. Chinese Interviewed "Mr. Young" speaks excellent English, but not when English men or Americans are around. So he had to be interviewed about basketball in China through a Finnish missionary, and indicated that he did not think much of the American system of using tall men like seven-foot Bob .Kurland and Field of 141 Golfers Set for Royal Oaks Play Vancouver, Wash.

But through an afternoon of painful and - mostly one-sided conversation, it developed that Young believes- size is a handi cap over, say, six-feet-four. Which, coincidentally, just hap pens to be the size of Mr. Young's tallest player. Basketball Popular Two other members of the squad, who were in civilian clothes and appeared to have a slight resemblance to plain clothesmen, said that basketball was developing great popularity in China and with their im mense population they expected to soon be among the world's best. They were asked how they made out when playing Russia. Mr. Young looked a bit uncom fortable, fumbled the bait a couple of times, and then admit ted they lost one game. The next question was a nat ural. Did they lose because of the widely-credited report that the Russians brought along a set of their own rules? That was the end of the interview. Friday, August I, 1952 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEH Unknowns Get Chance On US David Cup Team Havana, Cuba (U.R) Bernard Bartzen, Fort Sill, Okla., and newly-crowned U. S.
