Man-to-Man Defense Slated
For Use Against Unbeaten
Black Tornado Cage Team
A strataht min-to-mn defense
will be used by the KUmath Pel
icans torugnt at neaiora in an
eifort to stop the undefeated
Black Tornado cage squad in the
iint of a two-game weekend ser
ies on the Medford court.
In two previous games the
ran' Tornadoes have utilized a
loose man-to-man setup, com
bined with a shifting zone that
battled the Pelicans.
All week Coach Marble Cook
has been drilling his squad in
uicky ball-hawking and accur
ate passing with an eye to end
ing the Medford boys' winning
streak, and expects the addition
of tall Jerry Thorne. just about
the only man on the Klamam
five lanky enough to work under
the bucket for rebounds, to ma
terially help the K-men's cause.
In their last clash here on the
KUHS court Medford grabbed
nine rebounds out of 10, so
Coach Cook is counting on his
boys haring possession of the
ball more often in this week's
tuts.
Klamath's starting five will
Dut Palmer and White at for
ward, Thorne at center and No
reen and Biehn guarding the
backcourt. The accurate passing
these boys have displayed in
practice this week should in
some measure make up for the
height domination of their rivals.
The Tornadoes are odds-on fa
vorites to take the series, on a
basis of their perfect season's
record, and a Klamath win to
night, wniie entirely possible,
would be the major upset of the
year.

REVEALING
Folks, here are some proven
figures that are going to make
a lot of people sit up and take
sharp notice. According 10
rpcentl v c o m-
pleted G a 1 1 u pl""1'
poll on Dennis
throughout the
United States
there is consid
erable less wa
gering on horse
racing and num
bers than any
other form of
gambling. What
is tops, then?
W ell, laddies,
astounaing as u HAINES
seems, it's the
church lotteries and bingo
games conducted by the
churches which lead the other
forms of gambling oy Per
cent! . ,
The "Little (lower. iuh.vui
Fiorello H. LaGuardia, had bet
ter pull in his horns on his re
cent blasts at college athletics.
With the church lotteries high
at 24 per cent, racing and the
numbers racket are 'way down
at 7 per cent, punch boards are
at 17 per cent, slot machines 16
per cent, elections and athletic
events at 17 per cent, and play
ing cards and dice at 20 per
cent.
It goes to show, folks, that
lightning sometimes strikes
where you least expect it and
these bingo bugs won't take a
shutdown smiling as did the rac
ing interests. A recent threat to
put the kibosh on bingo in New
Jersey drew a storm of protest.
Yes, sir, a lot of the people
who do the loudest and longest
veiling about the terrible gam
bling situation in the country
would do well to clean their
own backyards first!

Marines to Slug It Out in Six
Bout Card With Nash's Sailors
PULLMAN, Feb. 9 (.-P) Wash
ington and Washington State,
each with its back to the wall
in an uphill fight for conference
cage honors, tangle for the first
time this season tonight in the
opening of a vital two-game ser
ies.
Deadlocked in the standings
with five wins and as many
losses, tonight s victor will slide
into a second place tie with Ore
gon State. The Beavers are idle
tonight, but play a single con
test with leading Oregon Saturday.
As well as fighting for its
title hopes, the Cougar squad
will be out to avenge the quartet
of lickings handed out by the
Washington Huskies last year.
The Seattle five, predominantly
first year talent, is seeking to
break the jinx that has kept it
from winning any of its four
road games thus far this year.
CHICAGO Athletic direct
ors of western conference failed
to. elect commissioner to suc
ceed late John L. Griffith, but
passed resolution forbidding
any conference team from play
ing except on a college campus
without first getting permission
from the directors.
The leathernecks from the Barracks will be
In there slugging it out with Danny Nash's
sailors from the air station tomorrow night at
7:30 o'clock, when the two service teams meet
in a six-bout card at the marines' gymnasium.
As a featured highlight of the evening, two
mastodons of the mat will be called upon to do
their best rassling in a three-fall event which
promises to be good. Pete Belcastro. the "Weed
Assassin." may have to apply more than his
much discussed "surf-board" hold to stop the
former marine fleet heavyweight champion,
"Blood and Guts" Davidson, who will definitely
not like losing a bout in front of his former
shipmates.
On the slugging portion of the program,
navy's Burghardt and Williams will exchange
blows with Marines Harris and Gates In tho
headliners. At Burghardt has token on all com
ers so far this season without a loss, and tho
leathernack's coach, Johnnio Stolen, is banking
on Newcomer Charlie Harris to break the ice.
John Gates and Sailor Williams are making
their ;?irst appearanco in the squared clrclo this
season. Both boys have had considorablo experi
ence in the past.
The complete card has Salmar vs. Colloy In
an all-marine exhibition: Smith vs. Hart at 135:
Bella vs. Cragham, 153; Pcroi vs. Goodrich,
153: Harris vs. Burghardt, 163. and Gates
against Williams in tho 170-pound brackot.
Wally Moss, armory referee, will officinto In
the ring, with Dr. C. V. Rugh and Art Fred-
rickson as judges.

The masked man took the
first fall last week and managed
to stave off Tony for four more
rounds, but in the sixth and last
round Ross slugged him sense
