THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 7, 1545
Panther Quintet
Noses Out Bears
In Close Battle
Redmond's league-leading Pan
thers, Victprs'over Bend 27 to 24
last week, further established
their three-point superiority claim
over the Bears by winning here
last night 30 to 27. However,
three of Redmond's winning
points of last night were contri
buted by a Bend player, tall Bill
Plath, who Inadvertently tipped
the ball through the Panther hoop
In. a final quarter struggle under
the basket.
Although Bend was again beat
en by the flashy Panthers last
nlffht. the showing of the Bears
was pleasing to home fans, who
were fearful at game time that the
Bend boys, walloped by Mouioru
57 to 7 only last Saturday night,
were about to "fold" for the sea
son. Last night, the Bears flashed
back into near-peak form, played
, one, of their best games of the
season, demonstrated they are
masters of the ball in pinches and
turned in some fine floor work.
Bend held a 5 to 4 first quarter
' lead over the well-coached Pan
thers, and were still out ahead
12 to 10 at halftime. In last night's
play. Bend shifted to a man-to
man defense.
Holmstrom Is Star
In the third quarter, the Bears
were outwitted by Captain Holm
strom and Ronnie McDonald of
the Panthers, and in that eight
minute period Redmond rolled up
15 points, eight of them on free
tosses. Jiacn learn was cnargea
with 15 personals, and each team
converted seven. It was Bend's
best showing in point conversion
since the last change of the moon.
. Redmond's victory was again
largely attributable to the cool
ness of the Panthers under fire.
This coolness was frequently dem
onstrated by Holstrom, who per
mitted the Bend defense to surge
by, before shooting. He was high
point man of the game, with 11
to his credit. Hawes, in the role of
reserve forward, had high point
honors for Bend, 7.
Some people believed, before
game time, that the Medford de
bacle would kill the crowd last,
night and that only a handful
would be out. This was not the
case. Students and ardent local
fans, evidently sensing that an
other traditional Redmond-Bend
battle was in the offing, joined
Redmond fans In filling the gym
nasium to near capacity.'
Plenty Of Color !
And the game had all the color
of a big-time battle, with 32 Red
mond union high school Pep girls,
led by high-stepping Darlene Hart,
putting on a drill between halves.
Climaxing this drill, for which the
girls were prepared by Mrs. Chal
mers Nooe, Darlene, as majorette,
was elevated on a dais and paraded
around the hall. Bend was repre
sented by its high school band,
directed by C. Dale Robbins.
Rivalry was intense, but the
sportsmanship of the two student
bodies averted even the semblance
of an "overt" act. So Intense was
the noise that the sound of of
ficials' whistles was frequently
smothered, as the teams alter
nated in taking the lead.

NATIONAL LEAGUE IIOCKEY
Illy United l'roul
A season-long linx was put to
rest In the national league hockey
race today when the Toronto
Maple Leafs left Boston with a
victory over the Bruins on Boston
Ice, winning 5 to 1. Toronto has
lost on each of their previous
trips to the hub city.
By Yack Cuddy 1
(United Praia Surf Correspondent)
New York, Feb. 7 U'i J. Ed
gar Hoover, director of the FBI,
stands out today as a logical can
didate for the high commission
er's office in baseball because, in
addition to other qualifications,
he is best equipped to combat
gambling to keep the sport clean.
A man who can crack down
with "the big stick" is needed
now In the commissioner's office
needed more than at any time
since the wave of gambling that
followed the first world war re
sulted in the Black Sox scandal
and the appointment of the late
Kenesaw M. Landis to the job in
1920.
Landis kept the sport clean as
a whistle. Even his severest cri
tics never challenged that. But
the old judge died last Nov. 25
shortly before the sports world
was smacked on the nose by the
realization that professional and
amateur athletics are now men
aced by the greatest gambling
surge in the nation's history. This
tremendous wave of wagering is a
by-product of the prosperity ac
companying world war No. II. It
was reflected In the staggering
total of $1,126,308,645 (B) bet at
U. S. race tracks during 1944.
The recent Brooklyn college bas
ketball scandal, in which five
players admitted having conspired
with gamblers to "throw" a game
for money, jolted the sports world
into quick realization that the
menace from crooked gamblers
had passed the rumor stage. Now
the various sports are taking
steps to protect themselves. Col
lege officials and basketball pro
moters are vigilantly trying to
keep gamblers away from games
ana particularly from the players.
Chairman Eddie Eagan of the
New York Boxing commission has
requested promoter Mike Jacobs
to keep Madison square Garden s
lobby clear of all loiterers. The
International baseball league de
cided to refrain from Issuing the
names of probable pitchers dur
ing the '45 season: the American
league will do likewise, and the
National league probably will.
H ow e v e r, these preventive
measures are but minor ges
tures, compared to the warning
smash that could be dealt gam
bling on sports by the election of
J. Edgar Hoover as commissioner
of our national pastime. He could
keep baseball clean by dustine'the
gamblers out with a blackjack
He's a guy who fights fire with
fire using lethal as well as legal
weapons, as Dillinger, Machine
Gun Kelly, Pretty Boy Floyd, Al
vin Karpis and the nazi sabo
teurs found out. His election
would not only warn gamblers and
players that the game must be
kept clean; but it would bring
new assurance to the public that,
despite the death of Landis, the
club owners were determined that
baseball should continue as an
honest," forthright entertainment.
Hank Armstrong
Decisions Rojo
Los Angeles, Feb. 7 IP Henry
Armstrong, the former hurricane
champion of three divisions, out
f ought, outpunched, and out
thought young Genero Rojo last
night to win a unanimous 10
round decision in the main event
at Olympic auditorium.
Armstrong was not the fighter
who beat Barney Ross for 15
straight rounds, but he had
enough left to outlast youne Gen
ero. Overcoming long leads piled
up by the youngster's educated
left, Armstrong drove in with
punching spurts to the head and
body.
The; first round was Genero's
as he tabbed Hank With his left
and backpedaled away from the
Infighting that is still Henry's
trade mark. .
In the second, Armstrong began
to get in rights and lefts that
snapped the youngsters head
back like a rubber ball. From the
second to the ninth Henry garn
ered the edge.
Rojo copped the ninth but in
the tenth he almost went down
for the count as he hung on the
ropes under a vicious body and
head' attack. -
Armstrong .weighed 140; Rojo,
144. Both are Los Angeles fighters.
eluding former Postmaster Gen
eral James A. Farley, FBI ti
rector J. Edgar Hoover, golfer
Bobby Jones, a former owner of
the Atlanta Southern association
baseball club, and former New
York Mayor James Walker have
been mentioned.
5,000 Men Strike
Ball Executives
To Vote By Wire .
New York, Feb. 7 W Major
league baseball executives, having
failed to agree upon a new high
commissioner at their recent meet
ing here, are preparing to con
duct a telegraphic vote to reach a
tentative selection before they
meet again, officials of local clubs
said today.
The procedure will insure that
one candidate has enough votes
to be elected, it was said.
Under the new major agree
ment, a candidate must have 12
out of 16 votes to be elected com
missioner. Thus, supporters of a
candidate could poll the member
ship of both leagues on a "yes or
no" basis to determine exactly
how many votes he could muster.
Would Vote Twice
If preliminary tabulations re
vealed only a vote or two under
the total required, a second poll
could be conducted on the same
basis in which names of the club
owners who had voted for the par
ticular candidate- would ' be - re
vealed. Thus, holdouts against
that candidate might be brought
into the fold.
It also was emphasized that in
the event of the selection of a
candidate outside baseball, he
would have to be approached to
determine whether he would ac
cept the $50,000 a year post be
fore the formal meeting to an
nounce the selection was held.

New Hoop Rules
To Receive Test
New York, Feb. 7 mi Proposed
new basketball rules in which the
court will be zoned to provide an
area where field goals will count
three points instead of two. will
be tested tonight in a clinic game
between Columbia and Fordham.
The rule changes, suggested by
uowara Honson, uregon Univer
sity basketball coach, provide that
any field goal scored from out
side an arc 21 feet away from the
basket will count three Doints. and
a fouled player will have the od
lion ot taking his shot from the
regular 15-foot free throw line
from one point or from the new
i-ioot line where It will count
two.
rin n KxnliUiieil
On a two foul penalty, only one
of the shots may he taken from
the 21-tont line with the second
to be taken from the shorter dis
tance. Another Innovation provides
widening of the foul lane from six
to 12 feet in which the three Sec
ond rule will apply. This is de
signed to prevent congestion un
der the basket and to eliminate
the advantage of tall players on
rebounds and pivot plavs.
Hobson said that the proposed
changes were designed to dis
courage use of the zone defense
which hampers scoring because
of set positions by defending
teams. He said that the threat
of three point goals will bring the
zone defence out toward mid-court
and make tor more open play.
