Medford Black Tornado Not Rough
v.etnrriav we received a letter from a former student of Ash'
l.nrt Men school disacreeinE with us in no uncertain terms on
the type of basketball played by Medford. This lad states that
the Tornado plays nam, aggressive uhu, uui
that he can't see how the Medford quintet could
be classified as rough.
He goes on to say that he thinks Al Simp
son, Medford mentor, is the best coach he has
ever seen and that maybe the reason we dislike
'Simpson is because he beat the Pelicans out of
a state tournament berth when he was coaching
at Ashland. ,
Now son, to the best of our knowledge we
have never said that we bore any dislike for
Simpson. In fact, we Bre inclined to agree with
you that he is an exceptionally fine athletic in
structor. If we have inadvertently given the
imDression that we bear any animosity toward
'fothe'typeof ball played by the Medford cagers this
r.i iino hnH to no on were the two games they
clayed here. We think that even the Medford boys themselves
W1U acKllowieagts uic ami um ...w - ------- -
rough ball game both nights. We understand from KUHS of
ficials that the Tornado played a much cleaner, and consequent
ly a better, game at Ashland in the district tournament.
The fact still remains, however, that Medford went beyond
"hard, aggressive basketball" in those two tilts on the KUHS
maple and bv that token we still stand firm on that point.
The fact "that Medford leaned toward rough basketball was
not the only reason the Tornado beat the Pelicans this season.
Medford had an out and out better ball club, but the unique
tactics of the Medford hoopmen did HELP them toward a vic
tory, at least in the two games played here.
We have gone to quite some length to clear up these points
and to sum our contentions up: Medford had a good ball team,
Simpson is a fine coach, but in the two cage tussles played here
this season, Medford DID play rough basketball. Thanks for
writing. .
Top Mat Card Scheduled For Friday
Supporting the headline tussle Friday night between Pete
Belcastro, the torso-twister from Weed, and the dreaded "Grey
Mask," Promoter Mack Lillard announced today that Georges
Dusette, who almost flopped Mr. Stoneface here last week, will
tangle with Dooular Ernie Piluso in the semi-windup and Tough
Tony Ross will meet meany Wild Billy McEuin in-the opener.
These should be two exceptionally fine bouts and it is tenta
tively understood that if Dusette whips Piluso, he will be given
another crack at the hooded hoodlum. Mr. Stoneface may not
be in-any shape to meet even Mickey Mouse next week, how
ever," as Belcastro figures to be just about the toughest customer
to handle in these parts. Upon two previous occasions here, Pete
has given the masked menace all he wanted and a little bit more.
.After Pete's two disqualifications in tussles with Jack Kiser,
he is reported to be ready to bite chunks out of the ringposts
and this attitude bodes ill for both the referee and Mr. Stoneface.
Odds and Ends In the World of Sports
Slammin' Sammy Snead and Lord Byron Nelson were still
' deadlocked in the Charlotte Open after their playoff yesterday.
Another 18-bole-match is scheduled for today . . ..Looks like
DePaul and St. John's will again clash - in the finals' of the
national invitational cage tournament at Madison Square Garden
. . . The Oregon Webfoots will collide with Arkansas in their
first NCAA tussle at K. City . . . Most consistent ball player of
the historic Oregon-Washington State playoff series was Jim
Bartelt He averaged an even 10 points per game and came
through when the Ducks really needed points . . . With floods
reported throughout middle-western areas, many major loop
baseball clubs have been "rained out" of spring training sessions
... More money for the golfer who barely breaks 300 on the
tournament swing is being sought. Those against it are Sam
Snead, Byron Nelson, Jug McSpaden, Sam Byrd and Craig Wood.
