with Duke Trotter's Navycats earlier In the season,! definitely dont
be counting Slats Gill's Oregon Staters out of the Northern division
hoop .derby. Any. similarity between the OSC quint which showed
here and the one which kayoed Washington twice early this week
is purely accidental. .You can hardly conceive of how much Gill's
gang has improved . . . Instead of stumbling and fumbling around
to the extent that even Mentor .
Gill sung his troubled head in his
honla h vactlv Imnrovtd team
now (1) runs like the ape with
the stripes, (2) drives fiercely and
(3) gets any number of shots
from in close, something it could
n't seem to do in early-season
sessions. Defensively, it's typical
ly Slats Gill good.
How come so suddenly? Many
claim it's due to this newy from
Hawaii, Ephrem !Redn Rocha, the
freshman 6-foot 8-incher with
the amazingly quick reaction and
Johnny-on-the-spot pair of hands.
The guy isV dynamite in all de
partments backboard work,
shooting, defense, passing and
(most surprising of all) speed.

sure as you're born! while owners watched the hawk-nosed tallie
tally his 27 and then 21 points against the Huskies. Added to the
19 he got in the last Washington State tilt, that makes 67 in three
.games, a, 22.4 average incidentally.
. ' Rocha's. presence may be responsible for the rejuvenation the
addition of one sew sparkplug oft makes a whale of difference in
the old jitney but along with that a few other Items must be
considered: (1) In Captain: Senile
McGrath GUI has one of the best
guards and leaders in the division.
He's proven it in his first seven
games. (2) Although freshmen
fresh out jet Corvallis high, Bob
Labhart-and " Larry West now
bounce around as if they've, been
- regulars ' for years..' 3 ) Erstwhile
Center Hal Puddy is doing a bang
up job at forward. (4) Ready for
: action right ' now is reserve
strength plus in gents like Big
Ted Henningsen, George Sertic
' and. Jack Simms, formerly regu
lars, and Bob Moore, halfpint
guard. And (5) most important
item of all-Mentor Gill has ac
complished one fine job of skip
pering the team into a soar-scoring
outfit' :'
: You can hardly believe it's the
same team whicn gave off with
the so-so stuff here last month.
And the guys and gals in Beaver
land ! are - talking championship
right and left now out loud.
. incidentally, Hec Edmundson
chewed through 8 paocs ox gunvf
during the series (gosn knows
where he got it) and Scouting
Coach "Honest John". Warren wore
a dumbfounded expression;

Hail the Champ
wnavs leu or tne town's pro
fistcuffing clientele . have found
something to mull over of late
what with the announcement from
Portland that one of the old vil
lage favorites, "Powder" Proctor
is to box a 10-rounder Friday
night on Joe Waterman's "March
of Dimes" card. Proctor is to biff

Northwest Marine Iron works in

Champion of Oregon?" According
o same dispatches. Proctor is the
State's new lightheavy champ
lince Woodburn Joe Kahut took
ip residence at Farragut station.
The answer to it all escapes us,
ut the how comes" rendered by
(he ' local faithful are probably
due to the fact that Proctor, Re
spite the fondness with which he
is remembered hereabouts, : fin
4cVia4 a verv rsrw-ir snmnd tt ffents
like Jimmy Garrison and Costello
Cruz some months back. Now he's
advertised as a champion.
But then they're all entitled to
a comeback ; whether starting at
bottom cr top', and . here's hoping
"Powder", learns to wear his new
title well. --

here, wafts with Mickey Pease

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.--Baseball
Is worth continuing dur
ing wartime and congress should
look into its case, Senator .Chan
dler (D-Ky). said -today. When
work or jail legislation comes up
in the senate, the Kentuckian as
serted that "He will go to 1 bat"
for the game's continuance.
Chandler, was entering the sen
ate chambers when a reporter
asked him for his views. It looks
as if the possibility of baseball go
ing ahead has boiled down to the
use of a relatively few men j who
may be rejected again after being
re-examined lor the armed forces,
the reporter said. f J
-"I think that baseball should
have the right to use rejects, if
that would mean keeping' the
game going,' Chandler said.j Not

Red Cochrane

ELIZABETH, N. J, Jan. 25.-JP
-Boxing will come out of World
War 2 as America's most popular
sport In the opinion of Freddie
(Red) Cochrane, the welterweight
champion , who recently was boni
orably discharged from !the navy.;
was on 54 different islands
and every one of them, had,, a
home-made ring and a boxing
tournamentn the 29-year-old Eli-;
tabeth; battler said. Those .kids
really took to boxing and in many
places that was the only sport
they could have. Some of the . is-.
lands weren't as big as StiUman's
"We followed the Seabees In and
got to work right away to keep
the kids occupied in their spare
time. -You dont hear much about
those guys, they're too far away.
And they don't hear much from
the outside ... no world series,
no fibts. iust a score ' now and
then, a couple of month-old news
bulletins mixed in with some Ha
waiian hula music." ' ,
Cochrane wasn't sure when he
would be ready to go to the post
again. He has had .only four fights
since ne won tne uue irom j-ru-zie
Zivic in Newark. July 29. 1941.'
He'll start work at Bey's Summit
N. J, training camp MSnday.
. "Teaching 200,000 kids how to
box Is 'some different to getting
In shape for a fight" the ex-sailor
remarked. "I used to soar with
some of the dots but I found my
self pulling my punches and that
wasn t good. When I cut loose and
hurt somebody, that , wasn't good
either. So I gae it up."
