Bend High School Accepts Bid
To Sign Up in No Name League;
Many Schedule Changes Due
Bend high school is to become a member of the powerful
NoName league, it was announced by Principal It. E. Jewell
today. Receiving a formal invitation from the powerful valley
circuit last week, Jewell asked for and was. given a week to
investigate the feasibility of the plan and the attitude of the
sports followers in the town. Yesterday Jewell notified Gurnee
Flesher, of Salem high school, of the local school acceptance of
the bid. Local orncials are now attempting to work out scnea
ules in football and basketball. f
The No-Name league is one of the oldest in the' valley

em, Oregon Uity, Milwaukie,
Tillamook and McMinnville, it
has- undergone - considerable
change. McMinnville and Tilla
mook withdrew several years ago
because the competition in foot
ball was too tough and for sev
eral seasons- the league has op
erated on" a six-team basis. This
year, 'Oregon City withdrew be
cause It- was felt the Pioneers
could not keep up to the calibre
of football played in the league.
Milwaukie, in a de-emphasizing
move, also withdrew to confine Its
schedule to teams in the metro
politan district around Portland
The four remaining members, who
have largely dominated the league
since its inception, in looiting for
new blood invited aena ana
Springfield. Springfield is one of
the most rapidly-growing schools
In the state and has an enrollment
about the size of Bend's. Spring
field's decision has as yet, not been
announced.
Changes Duo
There will have to be certain
schedule changes in football over
last year s. However, these chang
es will bring about an even better
schedule than this year s one of
the toughest the Bears had ever
played.
The revised football schedule
will be announced as soon as de
tails are worked out. Since only
two games were played with mem
ber schools this year, the other
three will have to be added at the
cost of cutting off schools from
all sections. The traditional game
with The Dalles will remain, as
well as the games with Klamath
Falls and Medford not only tra
ditional rivals but. also the two
strongest teams in the: district
games which will have to be re
tained In case the Bears should
have a team to bid for the district
title in coming years. It Is , cer-,
lain then that Hood River, Grants
Pass and one of the Central Ore-
Ron. schools will be dropped and
their places on the schedule given
to member schools of the league.
At Low Ebb
Bend will be entering the league
at a rather bad time as far as
football goes since only two mem
bers of this year s team are re
turning for play. The long range
advantage of league play should
overcome this disadvantage of
entering the league with pros
pects of a weak team, it is pointed
out.
In basketball, the addition of
Salem and Springfield wll give the
Hears an even tougher schedule
than that which was plnyod this
year. Four of the other members
have fine big gyms and Eugene
plays on an Immense court in the
Eugene armory. This will be a
definite disadvantage for the local
team, but should be remedied as
Foon as the new gymnasium can
be built.
Considering all angles, the en
trance of the Bears into this
league should do much to raise the
Mandard of play in both sports
and will give the players and
fans an added interest In games
because of their tearing on league
standing, . Bend fans seem to
agree. .

Coasting Along in the Sport World
By Jack Cuddy
. (United Praia Staff Correspondent)
New York, March 7 U1 The
major league training season
opens today only four days after
Guilder Hagg's thundering defeat
at Madison Square garden gave
the sports world a lesson in con
ditioning that will long be remembered.
Although the Washington Sena
tors who start spring'training to
day are ball players, and Hagg of
Sweden is a runner, they have the
same ultimate objective In train
ing: to make themselves winning
performers. This is true of all
persons who engage in competi
tive athletics, be it team sports
or man-to-man competition.
Training methods naturally dif
fer in the various sports, but the
objective Is the same; and with
out training, rarely can the objec
tive be- achieved. Despite this
basic "law1' of athletics, the value
of spring conditioning for ball
players has been the subject pf
much controversy in the past.
In previous years .about this
time, many sports writers un
limbered their typewriters and
sprayed the major league club
owners with barbed paragraphs.
The cynical scribes said the cus
tom of sending ball players to
training camps was a phony. That
it was carried on for benefit of
the owners, rather than the per
formers. They said spring train
ing was merely a publicity stunt
that got the fans in condition to
buy tickets when the season
opened. That the players didn't

sula oval, managed by William P.
Kyne, was the only track operat
ing In California and It donated
$172,994 and $1,021,192 respec
tively during those seasons. In
1944, the Meadows donated $1,363,
596 and California's Hollywood
rark gave $1,013,481.
The contributions of the Nation
al football league also are note
worthy since the gi ld group plays

last year.

Not after the swift Swede still
at his peak made this poor, show
ing solely because he had been
unable to train for the event. He
had been ashore only 50 hours,
after a 23-day voyage across the
Atlantic. We can remember no
occurrence in sports history that
illustrates so vividly the impor
tance of training:
In baseball,' spring training is
important for the individual play
ers and for the team. It permits
the players to "harden" gradually,
after more than five months' lay
off, so that the danger of pulled
muscles, painful "Charley
horses," and broken bones is min
imized. It sharpens their judg
ment and co-ordination afield,
and their timing at bat. Mean

set a new division scoring record

that not only smashed the 16

in the season was declared vir

ship was concerned, pulled out of
a slump just in time to defeat
Oregon State last Saturday night
and win a tie for the title with
Washington State which had no
