Sports
Trail?
By WBjtney Martin
' NEW YORK, Jan. 14 -(Wide
World)- Headlines and taglines:
; - Deadline Connie Mack re
, elected boss of Athletics.
This astound
ing bit of infor
mation is in a
class with such
deathless an
nouncements as
"Wes. Ferrell to
try comeback"
and "Galento
challenges
Louis." Connie
I has only been
1 m a n a g ing the
Athletics for
Whitnev Martin
Eome 40 years.
The story goes
on to say that he not only had
been reelected manager, but
president and treasurer as well,
but to quell any idea that Con
nie Mack had reelected Connie
Mack It is mentioned that the
action was taken , at a meeting
of the stockholders. Anyway, the
baseball world hopes the grand
old gent will go on bossing the
Athletics for another 40 years.
Or would he be liable to be in
a rut by then?
Headline Billy Conn de
feats Henry Cooper.
Another sensational bit of
news, We saw Conn go around
Cooper like a cooper around a
barrel once before, and if Billy
Boy hadn't been able to defeat
the plodding trail horse we would
know for sure that the bout with
Joe Louis did Conn no good what
soever. We still carry a vivid
mental picture of Joe's fists sink
ing into Billy's midsection until
Billy bulged on the other side.
Billy insists the blows didn't
hurt, however, and he should
know. Some guys can eat fire
without getting burned, but we
don't want to try it..
Headline Joe Louis found
physically fit.
This item probably came as a
great surprise to Buddy Baer,
Lou Nova, Abe Simon and those
other fellows who saw Joe in
the other corner just before ev
erything went blank. They are
sure Joe can't fight a lick, and
they ' would have beaten him if
someone hadn't crept up behind
them arid thrown a brick. If he
hadn't been found physically fit
it would have been a terrific
blow to the prestige of the box
ing game in that its best speci
men wasn't up to normal. We've
always figured that a man cap
able of taking part in strenuous
sports such as boxing, football
and baseball is physically able
to be in the army, even if he
has a touch of flat feet or is
minus a few molars.
Headline Congressmen go
to bat for baseball.
And at the rate the players are
going into the service it looks
like there will be a need for
somebody to go to bat in base
ball, too.
Headline McCarthy sees
strong Yankee ' team.
Ah! at last an optimist. Any
one who can see far enough ahead
into 1942 to predict a strong team
in any sport must have second
sight. Anyway, a strong team in
1942 might be a liability, as the
fans might look upon it with
skepticism, no matter how sound
were the reasons of the players
, Jor not being in the army or en
, gaging in constructive work. In
fact, maybe the pennants should
be awarded to the tailend teams.
. At any rate, a weak team this
year will be something to brag
. about. Boy, will those Phillies be,
in clover.
Headline Gophers 'loan'
Coach Bierman to marines.
That's one loan which 1 drew
5 100 per cent interest from the
. sports world. Anyway, ghat's
- wrong with that? Wasn't there a
lend-lease bill passed?

NCAA Broadens Emphasis On Sports
(This Is another of a series' written
for The Associated Press on sports
prospects for 1942.) ,
. By JOHN L. GRIFFITH
V Secretary -Treasurer NCAA
C II T C A G O, Jan. -r-The
athletic programs of American
colleges, together with - every
other national ! institution will
meet their supreme challenge dur
ing 1942 on the basis of' their
potential contributions to the com
mon welfare.
It Is to be hoped they may
'meet that challenge as they did
during the last war. President
Wilson In 1917 said: "I would
be sincerely sorry to see ' the
men and beys la oar colleges
and schools give up their ath
letic sports and .1 hope most
f sincerely that the normal course
' of . college sports will be con
tinued so faras possible 4
Secretary of War Baker, in
1919. acknowledged the contribu
lions of college athletics the
common cause of that war period.

Hogan
Favorite in
Oakland Open
By RUSSELL NEWLAND
OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 14-()-
Firihg in the $5000 Oakland 72
hole open golf tournament gets
under way Thursday with Texas
born Ben Hogan as the prime fa
vorite and two notables listed as
last minute withdrawals, appar
ently army bound.
The prominent absentees are
Vic Ghezzi, Deal, NJ, national
PGA champion, and Jim Turne-
sa of the big New York golfing
family. They're enroute home - to
report to local draft boards for
physical examinations, after com
peting in the Los Angries open.
Hogan, best golfer in the coun
try last year, both from a money
winning and low scoring stand
point, pocketed first prize in Los
Angeles event Tuesday in a play
off with Jimmy Thomson.
The wiry, little former Tex
as caddy, now operating- out of
Hershey, Pa., undoubtedly is
the man to beat for top money
in every tournament over the
winter circuit. A year ago he
tied for first place In the Oak
land event with E. J. "Dutch"
Harrison of Little Rock, Ark
and Leonard Dodson,. Kansas
City, Mo., Dodson winning in a
rain-doused playoff.
Harrison and Sam Snead, Hot
Springs, Va., are solid choices to
press Hogan for the $1000 first
money here. Harrison lost in
playoffs both last year and in
1939. Snead blew his chances for
a win in the Los Angeles event
with an 8 on the final hole.
More than 160 pros and ama
teurs will tee off Thursday on the
par 70 Sequoyah course.

At Hawaii
Commendation' for members of
the Willamette university foot
ball team and Coach A. S. "Spec"
Keene on their return from Ha
waii was made by, Secretary of
the Navy Frank Knox in a letter
to Pres. Carl 15. Knopf, received
here Wednesday.
The fletter reads: I
"I am sure yon have heard
by now of the fine part a squad
of athletes from your school
played in bringing to; this coun
try the first detachment of
wounded from Pearl Harbor.
Just the same, I would like to
snare with yon portion of the
report turned in by- the senior
naval officer aboard the mer
chant vessel used to evacuate
these brave victims of Japa
nese treachery. This) officer, a
captain in the US navy, writes:
" 'On board, as passengers,
were the football squads of WU
and San Jose colleges, in Hono
lulu for games with the U of
Hawaii at the time of the Japa
nese attack. I
' These men, under their re
spective coaches, volunteered in
case of emergency to rescue and
place in the ship's boats the ser
iously wounded meni They drill
ed at their assignments. In addi
tion, they volunteered to and did
feed such wounded as were un
able to help themselves. They
promoted good morale among the
patients in many ways.
" 'I consider the services ren
dered by these young men to
be very commendable.'
"No words of mine can add to
the sentiments expressed in that
brief extract. Both on behalf of
the navy and myself, however, I
can express appreciation for the
willingness with whiph these fine
young athletes instantly offered
their aid in time of danger. That
is the spirit which V believe now
dominates us all, and which with
God's help will carry us to ulti
mate ; victory."

that accorded Joe Vennuccio. a
pint-sized citizen, who was mus
