Night Games
Total 208
By ED SAINSBURY
, Chicago (U.R) The American
League, which now sprawls out
1,273 airline miles between Bos
. ton and Kansas City, reduced its
1955 night, game total to 208
today in the annual schedule. "
- Last year there were 215 night
games scheduled and the league's
all-time high was 218 in 1953.
The 208 night game total for
the American League contrasts
with the all-time high ; of 250
'scheduled by the more compact
'National League where the dis
tance between the extreme
points, New York and St. Louis
is only 888 miles. Because of
; the lesser distances involved, it
is possible ; for the National
League to schedule more night
games since less time is required
for travel. .
Kansas City-Night Garnet : :
New Kansas City- club leads
the way in night games with a

of 56 scheduled by the St. Louis

For Kill Study
Portland; "The success of de
termining : hunting ; season kill
rests upon your individual co
operation." So reads part of the
letter from P. W, Schneider,

Oregon hunters.
? These hunters are ones hold
ing hunting licenses with num

selected several years ago by
use of mechanical equipment of

mission. , - I .
A letter and questionnaire is
sent to these hunters, and the
information thus obtained is cor
related with other facts gathered
to determine the harvest of
game birds and mammals in
Oregon for 1954. - , -
Since few hunters get the
same license number each year,
it is possible to use the numbers
selected for. a number of years.
The questionnaires will be

to the State squad Medford high
gets as much representation as
one school can expect in the an
nual Shrine all c star football
squad. If all three are on hand
for the contest next August,
Medford will - have the best
representation . it's - had in a
Shrine scrap. -
All .three of the Medford play
ers were- all-Southern Oregon

the Portland Oregonian all-state
second team, gained honorable
mention on the Wigwam Wise

LUCK CHANGES ;
Dick McLaughlin may at
tribute his change of luck to
, a change of. uniform. The Med-;
ford high basketball player's
regular uniform didn't get to '

he wore a pair of white trunks
and black jersey No. 25 in ,

GOOD FLOOR SHOW
- Medford high's pep team has
been stealing some thunder from
the basketball aggregation in re
cent games. It's ; quite - a floor
show the gals have been putting
on s with high kicks and : skirt

in . time .to the music of the
bands. The seven peppy "chorus"
girls are Melissa .. Jennings,
Carol Denman, . Donna Halvor
sen, r Dinah Hutchinson, ; Peggy
Lydiard, Beverly Newbry and
Sally Walker.
KLAMATH TEAM TALL
. The Black Tornado of Med
ford will be up against quite
a bit more height, when it
. plays Klamath Falls here Fri
day and Saturday nights, than
it was in the Grants Pass and
Ashland series. It is anticipat
ing considerably more opposi
tion than it has received so far
in the Southern Oregon Con
ference basketball campaign.
Four of the likely Pelican
starters are 6 feet 2 inches or
better. Guy Munsell and Lar
ry Yarnell are right at that
level. Dave D'Olivo is 6-4 and
Marlin Causey is 6-3. The fifth
man is a midget, . Jack Sun
itsch, . 5-6. Among reserves
Denny, Todd is 6-3 and Orin
Perkins 6-1. Two others who
may see duty here, Dan Lowe
and Dave Pepple, are 5-10
each. -
LOOKING FORWARD
Coach Frank Roelandt has in
dicated that the Tornado cagers
are plenty serious about the
Pelican series. "The boys have
been working forward to it,"
he remarked. Defense is ex
pected to get the emphasis this
week in Medford drills. The aim
will be to stop ' the r scoring of
D'OUvo and Munsell. D'Olivo is
leading the Pels with 174 points
in 10 games.

tied for scoring honors at .18
points. " ' - . -
Illinois apparently had Iowa
whipped, holding a 47-35 half
time lead and boosting the mar
gin to 16 points early in the sec
ond half. But then Iowa, rank
ed No. 12 nationally, displayed
its prowess in a brililant drive
that finally gave the Hawkeyes
the lead at 70-69. Iowa hot only
never was headed after that, but
pulled out ' to win comfortably
as Bill Logan led the attack with

La Jolla, Calif. U.R The
weatherman frowned today as
the 14 golfers "representing the
United States and Canada teed
off for the opening rounds of
the fourth international PGA
matches for the Hopkins Trophy.
A. W. Anderson, chief of the
San Diego Weather Bureau, Said
a storm coming down the coast
would dampen the area by night
fall. He predicted nearly a half-
inch of rain would fall within
the next 36 hours.
The seven team members of
the United States golf squad
will be shooting for their fourth
straight victory.
n Although this is the first of
the Hopkins matches to be
played in the United States, the
Canadians believe they . have
their best chance yet of victory.
The seven-man team from North
of the Border t has been prac
ticing on the 6,600-yard La: Jolla
Country Club course for more
than seven days and seems to
be taking to the fairways . and
greens. .
In a practice nine holes Henry
Martell fired the back nine with
a five-under-par 31.
