Satfirday; December 2Y, 1940 Six The Capital Journal, Salem; Oregon Jenkins and Zivic Battle Ten Rounds to No Decision Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Sport WrltM National trends "The sentiment In favor of a definite limitation for the beginning and ending or each major sports season continues to grow," records the latest issue of the Oregon High School Activities as eooiation bulletin. An amendment Its to be submitted to the December 36th delegate assembly meeting of the OHSAA which, li adopted, win do away with spring football and will flic a deadline for starting fall mactice. Medford may be expected to oppose too strict regulation of Uie fall opening period since tney have been In the habit of spending a week or 10 days In training In September. The OHSAA bulletin reports that Illinois, last season, set a date for the ending of both the football and basketball seasons. The grid sport ends on the first ' Saturday In December and bas ketball with the state tourna ment. No all-star or post-season games are permitted. During the past month Iowa has taken similar action. In fact they have gone a step further. They not onlv prescribe limits to the foot ball season but they also make It lllestal for any school to participate In any way or to lend its support to the selection of all-star teams of high school players who might be brought together for a post-season or pre-season game. Indiana has had a similar rule for a number of years. The new type basketball back board Is being adopted for all state sponsored tournaments in wyonv lug while Kansas will take similar action. There have been some in slallations In Oregon, but no effort will be made to force it upon any school. The board has met with ap- proval wherever adopted. The New York Times in an Inter view with Coach Howard Hobson, gives Paul Jackson, the smallest member of the Webfoot hoop squad, about a column of valuable space In a recent Issue. "Several years ago a bright-faced little boy reported to Howard Hob. eon at the University of Oregon,' the Times yam relates. "He said he was a basketball player. Hobson , not only didn't believe him, but he Ignored him. In the first place the youngster is only II feet 7 Inches tall. Since an ordinary six-footer In Oregon Is considered as being refugee from a midget troop, Hob. son felt Justified in paying not the nllghtest attention to Paul Jackson, Being a kindly man at heart, now ever, he did condescend to let the little fellow practice with his giants. "The time cams for a trans continental trip to New York for a game In Madison Square Gar den. Ten players were to make the Jump and, naturally, Jack son was not one of them. He wasn't even big enough to be water boy for the WebfeeU, grammatically Incorrect as that nickname Is. "Oregon's squad skimmed over the rail to New York, traveling In that luxurious style that athletes have grown accustomed to. They stepped off the platform at the ter minal, stretched themselves and gasped. "Their reception committee con sisted of none other than the Paul Jnckson they had left some 4,000 miles behind them In Eugene. The boy was not one to be deterred by lack of Pullman fare. He merely had hitch-hiked his way across the continent Just to see a basketball game. "Later on when Oregon played California the exuberant Mr. Jack son rode a bicycle the 700 miles to see that game. This pedaling ex pedition took him longer than the hitch-hike to New York. So the midget went back to the rule of thumb to see Oregon win the Na tional Collegiate A. A. champion ship at Evaruston, 111. "In other words, everywhere that Hobson looked he saw the grinning face of Paul Jackson, lie finally decided that such loy alty and energy deserved a re ward. So last year when Ore gon came to New York Paul (Stonewall) Jackson was given a chance to rest his hitch-hiking thumb and ride In by train as a member of the squad. "The boy drew such attention to himself that Hobson began watching him on the practice court. The longer he looked the wider his eyes opened, despite his size, the young ster handled the ball smartly, shot accurately and was a streak on his feet. The Oregon giants couldn't hold him In check in practice games. Pretty soon the Webfoot rivals were having the same trouble, and before the season was over a year ago Stonewall was a regular and one of the leading scorers on the Pacific coast." Lytles Expecting Visitors Sclo George L. Shell of Sheri dan, Wyoming, Is visiting relatives ana mends In this part of the ' Willamette valley. Mrs. Shell and their son. Marvin, will Join him within a few days for the holidays. Mrs. Shell Is a daughter of the Joe Lytles of Sclo and has visited here on several previous occasions. 8hell lias been In the employ of the Bur lington railroad company at Sheri dan for 30 years, but Is recuperating now from double major turgery two months ago, I Bulging Crowd Of 18,000 See Garden Scrap By Gayle Talbot New York, Dec. 31 (P) Promoter Mike Jacobs must have had an un easy minute or two last night while the announcer was gathering up the slips and discovering that Prltzle Zivic and Lew Jenkins had fought themselves a 10 round draw in the Garden. Mike already had Zivic signed to defend his welterweight title against Henry Armstrong on January 17, and that would have been a fine one to try to ballyhoo if Fritzle had dropped a duke to Jenkins, the ca daverous lightweight champ. And Zivic came very close to do ing Just that. All that saved him was a determined rally in the last four stanzas. Steve Hamas, one of the Judges, called It even after the other two officials had given a split verdict. Referee George Walsh thought Jenkins won It. A bulging crowd of 17,000 didn't see a single knockdown, even tnougn Jenkins planted his noted right on Zivlc's features many a time. Frlt zle of the dented nose came out of it unmarked, but Jenkins suffered cuts over both eyes and looked pret ty well used up at the finish. Zivic possibly would have scored a knockout If they had been fight inn: a 15 rounder. Jenkins, who Is not a distance horse, put so much fury Into his early efforts that he began to weaken midway and couldn't get away from Zivic's straight lefts. They snapped his tired head around and piled up the points that enabled Frltzle to scrape through. Of the two, Zivlo was the bigger disappointment. A l-to-3 favorite at fight time, the Pittsburgh vet eran had practically no right at all, and only his superior In fight ing enabled him to hold Jenkins close for the first five rounds. The referee warned him repeatedly for doing funny things In the clinch es, but took no rounds away from him. Jenkins, conceding seven and quarter pounds, proved himself as willing to wade In and swap witn Zivlc as with the lightweights he has been slugging around. It al ready was known from his knock out by Armstrong that he was prone to fade If he couldn t stop his man quickly. Last night merely verified that weakness. Sportsmen Plan Annual Banquet Final arrangements for the annual banquet of the Salem Hunters' and Anglers' club, to be held January 8, at the Marlon hotel, will be made when the club's officers and direct ors meet Monday evening at the Chamber of Commerce.

J. Church, former secretary, will chairman his first meeting as the. newly-elected president, at which 'time he will announce his committees.

For owners, trainers, Jockeys and track proprietors, Uie year was Uie most successful of all time. There were more horses and more money than ever before. Only the thor oughbreds themselves failed to keep pace. Seablscuit was the best. After two close defeats Uie C. S. Howard horse won a memorable victory In the $100,000 Santa Anita handicap. He went on to amass Uie unprecedented figure of $437,730. He quit the turf forever In March after only three months of action yet placed third among Uie year's winners with $96,- 850. Bimellch started the season as the greatest two-year-old of all time and as Ed Bradley's hope for a fifth Kentucky Derby triumph. He went to Louisville as the shortest-priced future book favorite of all. Unde feated as a juvenile, ne opened his three-year-old campaign with con quests In the Blue Grass and Uie Derby trial. Then, out of nowhere at Churchill Downs, came Gallaha- dlon to win by a length and a half. Bimellch came back in the Freak- ness and Belmont, topped the list with winnings of $110,005 and gain ed some recognition as three-year- old king, but he lost the Withers, was beaten 10 lengths In the Arling ton classic, and was retired in Au gust with a broken bone in his foot. He remained in seclusion for the rest of the season but is expected to return this winter. Basketball Scores (Br the Associated Press) Rutgers 43. Princeton 38. Pittsburgh 43, Illinois 41 (overtime).
