Today's Sport Parade
By John W. Dnnlap
(United Preu Staff Correspondent)
Portland, Ore. Dec. 27 (IPi -The
crackdown on professional ath
letics contrasts in sharp- relief the
unsung play-for-fun sports in vir
tually every town in the nation, in
which Portland ranks near the top
of the heap with its organized
leagues and tournaments.
Much of the credit for Port
land's emphasis on sports goes to
Ray Brooks, city sports director,
who has been a player, coach,
trainer, sporting goods merchant,
and most everything else on the
athletic stepladdor. He is aided by
one of the finest park systems in
the world, more than a score of
golf courses, free use of school
gymnasium's, heavy participation
from the area 3 war industry
workers, and some sportsminded
business men who back up his
ideas.
In the basketball division alone,
there are 35 teams in a men's
league, ,35 teams in a junior
league, close to 50 teams in the
high schools, a women's league,
YMCA tournament, and other mis
cellaneous games. And from this
sport may well come the nub of
an idea which could spread na
tionwide for a great philanthropic
cause.
The Portland basketball associa
tion directors were sitting around
paralysis victims. A benefit game
last season brought In around
$150 but the board felt something
more was needed.
Secretary Rudy Lachenmeler, a
radio sportscaster and ardent
sports fan, popped up with the
Idea of "one tenth of a buck per
b u c k e t." Put into practice, it
meant paying a dime each time a
basket was scored and the money
was donated by sports minded
business men. Many of them
turned in $5 for the first game,
some $10, one $25, and soon the
fund was up to $113.
The experimental game was be
tween the University of Wash
ington and Fees Music Makers,
a topflight independent club of
Portland. By rare coincidence, the
score was 60 to 40 for the Music
Makers, evactly 100 points, which
just came out even on the $5
donations. Catching the spirit of
tne game, tans chipped in another
$20 so the march of dimes fund
collected $133. . A
Next time there will be more
money from different donors. Big
buckets may be put in the' bal
conies for fans to toss in their
dimes as their favorite players
or team hits the basket. Alumni
of the various teams playing like
the idea.
The catchy slogan, "one tenth
of a buck per bucket" might well
spread nationally as a further in
dication that the sports world is
doing more than its share for a
good cause.
Piluso to Handle
Bend-KJ. Game
Local school officials announce
a treat for basketball fans of this
vicinity in connection with the
two-game series with the Klam
ath Falls Pelicans Jan. 5 and 6,
in the signing of Emil Piluso, out
standing Pacific coast conference
official as referee.
As soon as the local schedule
was drawn it was sent to Piluso,
giving him a choice of dates. At
first it was thought he could be
obtained for both the Eugene se
ries and the Klamath Falls
games. However, his commitment
to the Pacific coast conference
necessitated his working at the
northern division jamboree at As
toria this past week-end. But he
has assured the local school-men
that he will be on hand for the
traditional games between the
Bears and the Pelicans.
Piluso is the most colorful bas-.
has! a large fan following among
basketball patrons, everywhere,
court Jans point out.

All Oregon Races
To Be Suspended
Portland, Ore., Dec. 27 UP If
and when the Oregon racing com
mission gets official word of the
war manpower commission's di
rective against animal racing,
compliance will bo voted immedi
ately, chairman Henry W. Collins
announced today. . ,
Racing is scheduled to stop Jan
3 and Is expected to cut heavily
into Oregon stale revenues from
dog and horse races, if the tracks
close. The order also spikes
several projected racing enter
prises.
Speaking for the board, Collins
said:
"The attention of the Oregon
racing commission has been called
by the press to an order issued
or to be issued by the chairman
of the war manpower commission
that all race tracks In the Untied
States would be closed on Jan. 3,
1945.
"The Oregon racing commission
has not yet received a copy of
such an order hut in the event
that such un order Is Issued and
made effective, the Oregon racing
commission will fully comply and
cooperate In every way with the
intent and purpose oi sucn orders."

with 10 each.
Behind at the half, Hanford held
the Huskies to one field goal and
narrowed the margin to 33-31. The
all-stars bogged down midway in
the final period, allowing Wash
ington to regain their safe lead.
Washington moves to Pasco for
a game with the Naval air station
today and the all-stars will be host
to the Harlem Globe trotters

Illness Strikes
Hardy of U.S.C.
1 Pasadena, Calif., Dec. 27 (F
Don Hardy, Southern California's
great All-Coast - end and pass
snatcher de luxe, went to bed
with the "flu" today and may be
out of the Rose bowl lineup
against' Tennessee. .
,.- He'll be weak,- Trojan trainers
said, and if he- makes it at all it
probably will be only to tell his
granchildren he played in.two con
secutive Rose bowl games.
Paul Salata, a-promising fresh
man, was assigned the first string
spot at least for the rest of the
week. Although Salata is rated
highly as a pass receiver, the shift
weakens the left anchor on de
fense, where Hardy's experience
tells.
Drills Arc Light
The Trojans had only light drills
on tap for the remainder of the
week, since classes started again
today and the boys had only their
afternoons free.
Coach Jeff Cravath will- knock
off sessions Saturday morning
and pack his boys off to a hotel
to keep out of trouble until game
time.
The volunteers- were having a
little bad luck. Russ Morrow, their
hustling center, was draping his
6 feet 7 inches over an easy
chair while his mates worked on
pass drill and defense. The St.
Louis freshman had an abscessed
tooth yanked, and Coach John
BarnhiU was taking no chances
of having him out with an infec
tion, '
Miller At Pivot
By taking it easy, he figured-,
Morrow's jaw would be back to
normal size by the weekend. Mean
while, Ben Miller, a stocky six-
footer, was holding down the'
pivot spot. .
Barnhill was guarding his squad
of civilians freshman and re
jects with a mother's care. Work
outs were behind closed gates and
the veteran mentor was keeping
nis taciics to nimseii.
He snorted at the odds.
"We aren't out here just for the
trip," hie said. "We aim to have a
game."
