Medford Tribune sip imrs Surprise Awaiting Cow Girls' Player -On Medford Arrival A surprise awaited a member of the Texas Cow Girls basket ball team when the club arrived in town today for a two-game series with Yellow Cab, district AAU champions. Leeona Evans, 19-year-old vet eran with the' Cow Girls team, was to meet an aunt whom she had never seen. Mrs. Foster Sea ver. Talent, anxiously awaited arrival of the team for her first meeting with her niece. Mrs. Foster visited her sister, Miss Evans' mother, at her home in Winthrop, Ark., about, a month ago but the niece was on tour with the team. They have corresponded many times, the last about three months ago, Mrs. Foster said, '"but letters can't take the place of the meet ing which I am anticipating." Mrs. Foster was expected to occupy a place of honor on the bench when her niece's team plays Yellow Cab tonight at St. Mary's gym here and tomorrow night at Crater high school gym in Central Point. Both games start at 8 o'clock with doors to open an hour earlier. According to advance publici ty, Mrs. Foster will probably have cause to be proud of her niece's demonstration of basket ball ability. She is said to be a terrific out-shot and possessor of a good hook shot from either side. She is said to be a good ball handr wfea ca zr.ove with the best of them, has an uncanny knack of scoring when needed and passing off at the right time Another of the Cow Girls who will see a lot of action during the two nights is Pat Cramer, fastest member of the team. Miss Cramer is said to be a top guard who likes to fast break, is a good passer and good scorer with the one-hand push shot. Other members of the Cow Girls who will take to the court against the Cabbies are Florence Holder, team captain and one of the nation's most outstanding feminine players; her sister, Frances, who is just breaking into the pro ranks out of high school where she was an all state star; Ellie Banas, a good passer and rebounder; Shirley Dorow, a pass-off artist and hook shot specialist, and Joan Rupp, who possesses an unorthodox out-shot. Average age of the Cow Girls is 20 years. They play men's rules and ask no quarter from the opposition. Cherokee-Jeri, western song stylist, will provide halftime en tertainment and the Cow Girls will give a trick shooting dem onstration, also at halftime. Prior to the game the girls will have a shooting and ball-handling warmup session. "Iff Incredible! The Party ht ordered us to throw a party with OLD Mr. BOSTON VODKA." ft? "XlffA : $040 J 4 SOT.
