TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) Cab, Police Score MOD Hoop Wins The Police Flatfeet whacked the Fire Department Longjohns and Yellow Cab whipped Haw kinson Tire Tread last night in March of Dimes benefit basket ball contests before a meager crowd at the senior high gym nasium. Both victors took early leads and were never seriously threatened as the Police turned back the Smokeaters 41 to 9 and the Cabbies polished off the Tiremen 82 to 50. " Tfce Police-Firemen fracas q was the novelty affair of the night and the clubs were dress ed accordingly. But the evening found the Flatfeet, improved and bolstered over last year, serious ly intent on evening the score for their 1955 loss to the Fire Boys and they did it with ef ficiency. In addition to their loss. Fire men suffered another blow yes terday. They had planned to ap pear in bright red long under wear. Their woolens turned out to be a murky pink. And the garb turned out to be rather hot and uncomfortable for basket ball togs. The Police who, first intended to appear , in convict costumes, dressed instead in tee shirts with a star on the front and a large footprint on the back. Cabbies Romp Police Sergeant Lyle Perkins was the only "casualty" of the night. He was "hurt" on the opening tip off and was packed off the court on a stretcher with Police Chief Charles Champlin assisting. A smile could be seen on Perkins face and later on he was back in action. Yellow Cab outclassed and out maneuvered the Tire team and had a 24 to 5 lead by the end of the first quarter. Half time score was 41 to 18 and after three panels the spread was 61 to 33. Bob Cavanaugh of the Hawk inson club was high point man with 18 and Chuck Stacy had 17 and Dale Newton 15 for the Cabbies. Police held the Firemen score less in both the first and last quarters.- Tally by periods was 12 to 0, 20 to 6 and 34 to 9. Roger Clark, a state policeman was top shooter with 10 markers and Don Cain, another state po liceman, and Jack Sanders and Delaire Tusow, city officer, each had eight.

LaRue Smith of the Y was high point man with 15 while Trautman had 10 for the Guard Prospect took a forefeit from Phoenix when the Merchants failed to have a full team on hand for the start.

WHEN YOU NEED NEW TIRES !i d mi in mm mm m m mm m m m m IVI1 1ft BRANDAU and KINGMAN at 9th and CENTRAL Thursday; January 26, 1956 Marshfield of Coos Bay on Fri day night and against North Bend on Saturday. With a pause in its Southern Oregon Conference campaign, the Black Tornado has been go ing at a more relaxed pace this week and Coach Frank Roe landt's main task is to keep his charges at the proper level for playing, perhaps, better ball be cause the pressure is off. Roelandt indicated that an 11- man squad would leave for the Coos Bay area tomorrow morn ing. Making the jaunt will be John Foust, Dick Copple, Dick McLaughlin, Neil Plumley, Bob Tisdel, Lloyd Cearley, Ed Reink ing, Larry Perkins, Larry Sless ler, Gary Riley and Mike Stearns. Kenneth Kumasawa will be the manager on the trip. Medford beat both of the coast teams early in the season' but expects plenty of trouble from each. Marshfield in particular will be aiming to avenge an 80 to 44 loss early in the season and there is every indication that the Tornado will have to play at its best to avoid defeat. The Pirates are big and rug ged and have a veteran ball club. They were just getting into shape when they appeared here in December and now have hit their stride. They boast an 8-2 record compared to Medford's 11-2. One of Marshfield's most recent conquests was 70 to 60 over North Bend, which gave Medford a tougher battle than the Pirates last month. The Bull dogs have not fared quite so well as the Pirates but still have a fast, improving crew. Possible starters for Marsh field are Hardy Spurgeon, Sandy Freser, Barry Bullard, Roger Johnson and Denny Baker. The crew is up from the state champ ionship football squad and is rough under the boards. ' The Black Tornado proved on the meeting here that it is not afraid to mix it with the Pirates but this time out may have an eye on trying to avoid any injuries which may jeopardize its con ference campaign. Roelandt announced that Dale Clemens, transfer from Ashland, has dropped from the Tornado squad in order to take' a needed job after school and on Saturdays. Harvey Cassill Denies Conferring Regarding John Cherberg Firing Seattle U.R) Harvey Cas sill, university of Washington athletic director, today denied he had conferred with anyone re garding the firing of Johnny Cherberg as head football coach at the school. A Los Angeles newspaper yesterday stated Cherberg would be fired today and touched off Cassill's denial. "I have not consulted with anyone or given any thought to consulting with anyone regard ing a new head football coach," Cassill said.
