AAU -District Fla
Medford's potent and classy
.; Independent basketball contin-
gent, Yellow Cab added two
;more accomplishments to its
; record book last night.
'. The Cabbies picked up " the
' District 10 AAU championship
.1 and left little doubt about their
3 superiority in Southern Oregon.
Champon of Medf ord Inde
pendent Basketball League, Yel-
I low Cab poured it on the Grants
i Pass city titlist, Southern Ore
'gon Plywood, in the district play
Joff at Grants Pass. The score
"was 76 to 42. Victory earned Cab
I the right to represent the district
"in the state AAU tournament
opening March 5 at Hermiston.
Plywood got the first bucket
in the game but the Cabbies
.soon zoomed on top. They kept
: the lead the rest of the way.
'Quarter scores were 16 to 7, 41
'to 21 and 56 to 33. Ed Hummel
of the Medford gang paced scor-
ing with 27. Bill Werner was
next with 14 and Gordon Prehm
, put in 12 for the GP team. Don
.Wendt got 12 for Medford.
Foster Shines
Cab was strongest on the back
board and jumping Johnny Fos
ter of the Cabbies had the edge
on the taller ex-Washington
Stater Prehm.
Reserves of the Medford squad
played about a third of the game.
BOWLING
o COMMERCIAL LEAGUE
The second week of the last
round produced some fine scores
for the bowlers in the Commer
cial bowling league.
t Crater Lake Motors held top
spot alone this week, when it
took Valentine cafe 4-0 on games
of 835, 946 and 937 for a series
of 2718. Leading the motormen
was Hal Vessey with a 625 series,
aided by Farrar, 547, Royce and
Cannon, 519 and Florey with a
508.
Another top series was the
Mail Tribune 3-1 win over Darl
ing Real Estate. Newsmen had a
2626 . series despite their top
scoring threat being out of town.
Geo. Spaunhorst with a 558 and
Bob Monsey with a 548 were
the top men. The C. C. Loggers
.came to the upper spots with
their 4-0 conquest of Alexander
and Brown Insurancemen. Jack
Cabler, 599, and Joe Cabler, 551,
were the 'main reason.
; Domestic Laundry climbed out
:of the cellar by taking a 3-1
series from First National, al-
though it had to overcome a 562
series by Paul Dimick. Morning
Fresh Bakery moved up by a
4-0 series over second round win
ners, Table Rock Lumber. Dick

Don Reese, . who played for
Camp's Electric at GP during the
loop season, was not in suit for
either team. The Plywoods had
tried to recruit him for the play

state tourney with Yellow Cab
instead.
To keep in tune for the state
tourney, the Cabbies were seek
ing a game tonight at Yreka,
Calif. They are scheduled to
play Oregon Tech at the St.
Mary's gym here next Wednes
day but are trying to get a date
change in order not to conflict
with the Harlem Clown's stop
here.

Marquette
Surges Over
Notre Dame
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
Let those "doubting Thom
ases" who didn't believe Mar
quette's class be silent today,
because the Warriors made their
21st straight victory a real con
vincer. Trailing by 11 points after
four minutes and 12 points at
halftime, Marquette came storm
ing back to beat a first-class
Notre Dame team, 84-74, on the
Irish' court at South Bend, Ind.
The Warriors, unbeaten since
their opening game loss to Mich
igan State, already have been
picked for the NCAA Tourna
ment. Notre Dame, with only an
11-8 record but a team that fig
ured to be mighty tough on its
home court started as if to blast
Marquette off the floor by seiz
ing a 12-1 lead. Slowly the War
riors crept back to a three-point
deficit and then Notre Dame
ripped off nine straight for a
37-25 halftime lead. Grimly Mar
quette battled back to tie at 47
47 with 11 minutes and then
Bob Walczak's two free throws
put the Warriors ahead to stay.
Walczak led the attack with 27
points, while Lloyd Aubrey
paced Notre Dame with 23.
La Salle Officially In
Marquette was joined in the
NCAA Tournament Thursday
by defending champion La Salle
(21-4) and Memphis State (17-3),
which completed the total of five
"members at large" to be se
lected from the East.
The National Invitation
Tournament added LaFayetJe
(20-2) and Connecticut (20-3) to
its field. Only two places remain
to be filled in the big Madison
Square Garden carnival and
they are expected to come from
this group: Tennessee, Alabama,
Texas Tech, West Texas State,
Williams, St. Louis, Tulsa, De-
Paul, and Texas Christian.
Some of these are involved
in team races and can go to the
NIT only if they fail to win their
league championship and an
NCAA berth.
Jimmy Demaret
Houston Leader
Houston, Tex. (U.R) Jaunty
Jimmy Demaret led a par-busting
field of 155 into the second
round of the $30,000 Houston
Open Golf Tournament today
with a 66, six under regulation
figures.
Demaret, 43-year-old former
Houstonian now playing out of
Kiamesha Lake, N.Y., put to
gether an eagle and five birdies
over the' wind-swept Memorial

TireH Babe
Withdraws
Sarasota, Fla. 4U.R) Pale and
tired Babe Zaharias, who recov
ered from a critical cancer oper
ation two years ago, suddenly
withdrew today from all tourna
ment golf because of illness,
leaving the rest of the star-stud-ed
field to go on to the second
round of the Sarasota Women's
Open tournament.
The famed woman athlete
"has been advised by her doctor
to withdraw from further tour
nament play," her husband,
George Zaharias, told newsmen
by telephone Thursday night. He
did not say how long her "re
tirement" would last.
The Babe's sudden announce
ment threw a cloud over the
tournament that even obscured
a course record 67 fired in the
opening round by Louise Suggs
of Atlanta, Ga.
The Georgian's brilliant round
of 34-33 gave her a three-stroke
lead over Betty Hicks of Palm
Springs, Calif., who shot a 70.
PLANS ATTACK Ella Kowal

tion of what is in store for Gerry

rough stuff when they meet in
a feature wrestling match at
Merrick's arena Saturday night.
Another Big Crowd
Expected To Watch
Gals Mix Saturday
Another capacity crowd is ex
pected to be on hand at- Mer
rick's arena tomorrow night
when Ella Kowalski and Gerry
Hunter take up where they left
off last ' week. The attractive
misses went 30 minutes . to a
draw in their wrestling set-to
and, at . Miss Kowalski's insist
ence, will have no time limit
this time. Two falls will be the
Miss Kowalski, red-haired
Polish lassie from Texas, charg
ed that the blonde bombshell
wasn't checked close enough by
the referee last week and that
Miss Hunter's illegal tactics kept
her from winning.
In an attempt to satisfy Miss
Kowalski on her referee charges,
Promoter Mack Lillard, with ap
proval of the Medford State
Athletic commission,, has named
Larry Presnell, Portland police
man, as the third person in the
ring.
Harold (Buck) Davidson said
yesterday he didn't expect to
have too much , trouble with.
Yoggi Hussane when they square
off for 45 minutes or two out
of three falls. Hussane issued
the challenge after he was punch
ed around last week when he
protested Davidson's work as the
referee.
Johnny Dobbs, who rivals
Hussane as the meanie champion
at the local arena, will have his
work cut out for him when he
meets willing Joe Hahn, Port
land fireman, also for 45 min
utes or two out of three falls.
The first match starts at 8:30
p.m. with doors to open an hour
earlier.
