Trail
By Whitney Martin
NEW YORK, Jan. -(Wide
World)- It's almost impossible
to comment on sports nowadays
without bringing the! war into it
some way. rA
great big "if"
inserts itself
some w fee r e,
whether you are
talking about
the! Phillies'
chances to retain
last place in the
National league,
or making a fu
ture book on
nvt! fll'a fftnt-
wi.it.ey ball;
Which is as it should be, as
sports are ! just the ( buttons on
a coat sleeve as far as their im
portance is to the business at
hand, and they can only be con
sidered in connection with their
relation to the war effort.
This line of thought traces
back to a recent item to the ef
fect that Leo Durocher has gone
to Florida.: That called to mind
that Durocher has not been sign
ed as Brooklyn Dodger manager
yet, at least not publicly.
And that thought brought
the Idea that Durocher might
see considerable more active
service this year than last year.
Which is where the war enters
the picture of what might oth
erwise be a routine baseball
tcry.
For the war may do what Lar
rj MacPhail has been unable to
do get Durocher out there on
the field. He won the pennant as
bench manager last year, but
it is the common idea that his
bench managing was his own
Idea, not MacPhail's.
Pee-Wee Reese, regular short
stop last year, probably will go
Into the army before many weeks,
and Claude Corbitt, young Mon
treal farm hand who was expect'
ed to give Reese a battle for the
position this spring, definitely Is
lost to the Dodgers for the same
reason.
Which leaves the shortstop
Job up to the old man himself,
unless he decided te shove hi
the newly -acquired Arky
Vaaghan and let third base take
care of Itself.
Durocher still can play plenty
Of shortstop. Naturally, they are
his legs and he wouldn't know
hist how much they ache when
he gets out there day after day,
but he's still young enough, and
his presence in the lineup is any
thing but a liability.
His return to active duty would
lengthen the list of player-man
agers that; already includes Joe
Cronin, Mel Ott, and Lou Bou-
dreu. And ; with daily reports of
this player or that player enter
Ing the armed services there may
be a chance for other pilots to
double as players. Jimmy Wilson
came back to play when every
one, Including Jimmy Wilson,
thought his active career was far
behind him.
However, that's a remote
, prospect, : and It's : difficult to
5 Imagine pudgy Joe McCarthy
or sedate Bill McKechnie or
plump Frankie Frisch wheeling-
around . trying to corner a
rronnd balL It isn't so difficult
to imagine Luke SeweU, Jimmy
Dykes and one or two others
doing their stnf f, though.
With .the exception of Reese
and Pete Reiser and Corbitt of
course the Dodgers seem to be
in pretty good shape insofar as
possible losses to the army are
concerned.: Fellows like Dolph
CamillV Billy Herman, ' Dixie
Walker, Whit Wyatt an . Freddy
' Fitzsimmons are well enough
along in years to make an early
call Improbable, even if they
' didnt have' dependents. It's the
younger clubs, like the Cardinals,
who win be hardest hit

Slate Clean by Measuring Idaho 36-28
SEATTLE, Jan. 9 JP)- Wash
ington's favored Huskies spurted
late in the second half Friday
night to beat back a stubborn
University of Idaho challenge for
a 36 to 28 victory in their open
ing Pacific Coast conference bas
ketball game.
Washington pulled ahead to
win after Idaho threw a scare
Into the home camp by taking
a 24-20 lead in the opening
minutes of the second half. The
winners led at halftime, 20-19.
What chances Idaho had for
victory faded as it held a 28-24
lead. Ray Turner, the bespectac
led, tall timber center, went out
at that point on four personal
fouls after having waged a val
iant -fine-man offensive, thatkept
the Huskies on the anxious seat.
Washington promptly tied the
score at 26-26 and then rapidly
pulled into a 31-26 lead. Idaho
never again was able to threaten.
It looked like a machine with
a sparkplug missing.
Turner took high point hon
ors, with 14, despite his early
departure.
The victory left Washington
with an undefeated record for the
season, which includes five vic
tories in intersectional play and
a new high scoring record of 72
points in Madison Square Garden.

EUGENE, Ore., Jan. 9-JP)-
Washington State defeated the
University of Oregon 61 to 45 be
fore 30O0 spectators in McArthur
court Friday night, in a northern
division coast conference basket
ball game.
The Cousars, defending cham
pions of the Pacific coast con
ference, staged a blistering rally
In the final half after an open
ing period In which the score
was tied three tunes at 3, -5 and
19 and the advantage changed
twice.
The Cougars who lost only one
of 13. pre-season games, showed a
brill ant offensive despite the loss
of their 1941 regulars.
Gail Bbhop, Washington State
sophomore center, paeed his
team's scoring with 16 points. -George
"Porky" Andrews tal
lied 17 points for the Oregon
Webfoots.
Washington State took a 24 to
21 half time lead after Oregon had
ed 19 to 14 up to the last six
minutes' of the period. Both teams
employed man-to-man defense
with Oregon shifting to a zone de
fense temporarily.

Joe Turns in Fourth Fastest KO
In 'Heavy' History Before He
Trades Gloves for Rifle
By SID
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New York, Jan. 9-OPMoe
Louis tore the California giant,
and chopped him down in the fourth fastest time a heavyweight
champion ever turned back a challenger.
Working for the fun of it, Joe got all the fun out of this
brief brawl as he turned loose an explosion of dynamite that
never gave Buddy a chance to draw a breath, that floored the
250-pound Goliath twice for nine counts, and that finally left
him beaten, bewildered and brok
en in two minutes, 56 seconds of
the first round of what was to
have been a 15-round tussle.
This was a murderous Louis,
who ripped and tore and, above
all, fired his torpedoes contin
uously, so that Buddy never
really knew what happened.
This was not the Louis of the
Baer fight in Washington last
May, who was knocked out of
the ring by one of Buddy's
big paws and who waited six
full rounds before catching up
with him.
Louis was strictly a 16-inch
gun on target practice. No one
could have counted all the blows
he landed as a near sell-out
crowd who turned out for this
fight for the benefit of the navy
relief fund roared and gasped at
his power. But he must have
thrown a hundred or more wal
lops. Two smashing rights drop
ped Buddy the first time he hit
the deck. A long, lightning left
put the crusher ; on.
The whole thing was over so
fast almost before the custom
ers were settled in their seats
that Promoter Mike Jacobs' tick
et men decided they couldn't
complete the count of figures to
night Best estimates were that
between 19,000 and 20,000 fans
were in the flag-hung, bunting
bedecked arena and that the
gross gate was between $180,000
and 1190,000, of which the navy
fund will probably receive about
$90,000 or slightly over.
Joe knew this time his meal
ticket was on the line, and, al
ways proud of the fight game's
richest bauble, he not only was
convinced he wouldn't give It
op for nothing,: but he was as
sure as death and taxes that he
wasn't even going to take a
chance with It,
And he didn't.
Tor, while Joe gave up his en
tire purse for this fund for the
benefit of families of sailors at
sea and killed1 in action, and
Mike Jacobs chipped in his pro
motional profits. Buddy risked

Buddy Baer, apart Friday night
life and limb facing the bomber.
He, too, tossed some cash into
the pot, turning back 2Vs per cent
of his 15 per cent cut of the gate.
In a setting the like of which
the usually tawdry business of
bashing beaks never before had
seen, Mike, Joe and Buddy went
all out for this one the watch
word of which has been "Re
member Pearl Harbor." ! There
wasn't a fan in the house who
didn't agree with 1940 Republi
can Presidential candidate Wen
dell Willkle, who said, in an ad
dress from the ring before the
bout started: -
"We thank you and the Ame
rican people thank you." i
And once Willkle finished
and Lucy Monroe sang the
8 tar Spangled Banner, Joe put
on the headline act to top It
off. Only three times before in
all fistic history has a king of
the ring done his work in such
a hurry. And Joe, making the
20th successful defense In his
all-time record run as boss of
the nose-mashers, did it on two
of these occasions.
The most rapid, of course, was
the 2 minutes 4 seconds it took
him to even things up with Max
Schmeling in 1938. Runner-up to
this record for making another
fellow go to sleep when the big
door prize was on the lihewas
the 2:09 Tommy Burns needed
to turn back Bill Squires chal
lenge in 1908. Third was the 2:29
in which Joe jolted Jack Roper
out of the picture in California
a couple of years back.
But this one was a huee lob
of work. At 206' to Buddy's
even 250, Joe looked like: a fly
weight standing against the big
bad Baer. And when j Buddy
charged out of his corner! at the
starting gong, caught Louis in
his: rush and carried him back
into Joe's own corner, he looked
like an army tank taking; a tiny
bush out of his way.
For a moment this confused
the greatest puncher the ring
has ever seen. He circled the
giant, like a bird trying to pick
out a branch of s tree on
which to land. Then he took
aim and let fly. And for all the
rest of the proceedings meant,
Baddy might Just as well have
gone home right there. The re
sult was inevitable.
There were some boos as Baer
staggered out of the ring, but
they were scattered and came for
no more reason than you'd cut
off your left arm. He did the best
he could, but a superman was
in there pitching against him.
Thus Louis bowed out of the
sport for sometime, since he's
due to trade in his trunks for a
soldier suit He may come out in
March or April to fight for army
relief, but this is only a dream
up to this moment. He may quit
for keeps, "and if that's his plan,
tonight he bowed out in a blaze
of glory. j
Baer, shaking bands with
Willkle in his dressing! room
afterward, ruefully- reasoned
that "it begins to look! as if
Father Time will have to be
in Joe's corner if he's ever go
ing to be beaten.' He pointed
out that' Joe's added weight
the bomber was heavier than
he's ever been before did the
champion a lot of good.
"He should have put the weight
on long ago. He hits much: harder.
Louis, too, thought the added
weight helped him, that he was
"punchin harder and f movin'
faster." j :
"But it's ! Jes another' lucky
night," he wound up. Luck, may
be, and a lot of dynamite.
war, has come to the realization
that sports have survived and
coUege athletics are likely to be
resumed soon. If we are to
profit by these examples and
advise we not only win con
tinue bat will Intensify oar
sport programs.' he concluded.
John Da Gross of the office of
physical fitness for civilian de
fense "described the government's
"Hail America' program and said
the colleges could cooperate by
keeping their students j fit . for
three purposes--eailitary i service,
production and civilian defense.
. He asked the colleges dp consid

Grid Play
Opened Up
CHICAGO, Jan. 9-flP)-High
school quarterbacks Friday re
ceived encouragement from their
elders to make more frequent use
of the free kick after a fair catch,
a play used only once in about
8000 prep grid maneuvers at pres
ent. ; The national interschoiastic foot
ball committee adopted a rule ap
plying to the free kick, henceforth
permitting the team trying this
play to boot the ball from any point
along the line of scrimmage. Until
now the ball was placed at the
spot where It was caught, except
: when it was in a side zone in which
case it was moved in 13 yards
from the sidelines.
"By allowing the ball to be
placed at any spot along the line
of scrimmage," declared Henry V.
Porter, secretary of the rules
group, "we believe that quarter
backs will be more apt to take
advantage of the play."
The committee also placed form
al approval on a widely-discussed
proposal permitting two forward
passes on the same play from be
hind the line of scrimmage. The
change will make it possible for ai
player to receive a forward toss
while behind the scrimmage lint
and then throw another forward,
or kick, if he chooses. . .
To receive a forward toss while
behind the scrimmage line and
