MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 10. 1963 Globetrotters Play At Central Point On Thursday Night More than 35 million people all over the world have seen the Harlem Globetrotters dis play their unusual brand of basketball mixed with humor ous stunts in their 36 seasons of consecutive activity-a fig ure that will, be increased when the fabulous magicians of the court play the Ameri can league all-stars at the Cra ter High school gym in Cen tral Point. The game will be Thursday, Feb. 14, starting at 8 p.m. Even though many did not even understand the funda mentals of basketball, Abe Saperstein's delightful clowns have made people laugh in at least 80 foreign countries. The message they carry is a simple one, entertainment combined with ability, a com bination that is the most eas ily recognized anywhere in the world. Proof is the Trot ters' own story. They have played before people who didn't , understand a basket from an apple box. But they could understand talent, and they could understand laugh ter. Saperstein hit on the happy combination more than 30 years ago. Always interested in the court sport, little Abe couldn't make it pay, regard les of the talent he procured.

The Globetrotters are fun damentally a basketball unit. They get the best Negro players available and pay them according to their skill and talent as do major league baseball teams. Then they blend in this mixture of talent with careful comedy routines designed solely to exploit the exactness of the court game. The Trotters are brilliant perfoi iTiers who pass, dribble, shoot and handle the ball as only they have been able to do. Their routines have been copied by many teams but never has any group even ap proached the expertness of the inventor.
