Newspaper Page TextSkits and Scratches Bf tttd Zimmerman Capital Journal Bpuru EdltM High school sports will be em . phasized rather than lessened during 1943 If a survey recently completed by the National Fed eration of State High School Athletics association represents a true reflection of Its members. H. V. Porter, executive secre- tary of the association, declares ' that the Burvey, conducted in the ; 40 states which are affiliated ' with the group, shows that an ' but four will hold state finals in hnsketball competition. Neva- ; da, Maine, Montana and Michi gan will wind up seasonal oper ations in sectional meets because of travel difficulties. ' "The consensus is that the draft of 18 year olds will have little effect on prep sports since the average age of high school athletes Is 17," Porter predicts. "Trans- 1 i portation, of course, will be the problem, but schools plan schedules close to i' home, placing emphasis on interscholastlo sports that build physical fitness, offer competitive action and lift (he morale of the local com .munlty." '"V The survey Indicates that , high school athletics staffs have, been reduced about 25 per cent since the war started. Travel in 1942 was reduced about 35 per cent and It is believed there will be further reduction in 1943. High school squads used railroads, buses or common car riers in 38 per cent of the cases, while the remaining 82 per cent used privately owned automo biles. Receipts fell off 25 per cent in 1942. According to the grapevine the board of control of the Oregon High School Athletic associa tion Is Investigating hotel ac commodations in Salem as of next March, the usual month for holding the state tournament. So far the hotel managers have not indicated whether they will be able to house members of the several visiting clubs. Trans portation should not be diffi cult for the teams, especially if the program calls for eight instead of the usual 16, as has been indicated. Travel for team followers would be a dif ferent proposition. Unless the. OHSAA plans a double elimination, eight teams could run '. through the state tournament in three days with out any crowding. This would cut down the expense quite a bit. Such a program would cur tail the gate receipts, too. The responsibility of continuance of the tournament during war time rests upon the shoulders of the board .of control. They no doubt will . survey the situation well before making a decision. The first tourney, under spon sorship of the association took place in 1020. There has been no Interruption since. Best wise crack of the week Is reported by Wes Guderlan, sports writer of the Klamath Falls Herald News; The setting for the bit of wisdom was the re cent basketball game be tween the Klamath Alt Stars and the Harlem Globe Trotters. The home guard had a bit of difficulty pene trating the Trotters' de fence and when they left the floor at the intermis sion having failed to score a single point In the sec ond period, a waggish fan remarked "At least they didn't lose any." Ducks Champions Of Eighth Grade The Ducks won the first half championship of the eighth grade basketball league at Parrlsh. They won after a hard fight with the Hawks.

Two years ago hysterical Bruin Huskies Even Basket Series With Beavers Corvallis, Jan. 21 VP) The University of Washington Hus kies jumped back into the thick of the northern division basket ball race last night by outshoot- Ing Oregon State, Pacific Coast conference champions, 44-39. The Beavers won Tuesday night 42-39. The Washington victory threw the Huskies, O.S.C. and Wash ington State college into a tie for second position behind the current pace setters, the Univers ity of Oregon. It also lent Import ance in the early phases of the race to the two-game series Washington will play, with the division leaders at Eugene Fri day and Saturday nights. The Webfoots grabbed a bulge on the rest of the division by two victories over Idaho before the rest of the league got started. Then they split a two-game ser ies with Washington State. The, Cougars open their first series with Idaho Friday night. Last night's was a rugged contest during which 38 fouls were called. Don Durdan, with 20 points, threatened throughout to push the Beavers out in front, but better marksmanship from the field and foul line kept the Huskies in the lead. OSC led but once in the con test, 5-4 early in the game. Af ter that the count was knotted twice at 5-5 and 9-9 before Bob by Morris, '.'ashlngton guard, found the range to give his club a 13-9 lead which was never re linquished. It was 28-22 Wash ington at the half after Durdan had come close to closing the gap. For the Beavers the second half was virtually a- one-man show, with Durdan always threa tening to pull his club even. With but a minute to go, the state flash scored twice to make it 39-42, but Leaske also caged one to make Washington safe.

Hobson Drilling Webfoots Hard Eugene, Ore., Jan. 21 (UP) Coach Howard Hobson scheduled another heavy practice session today for his University of Ore gon Cagcrs, who meet the Uni versity of Washington Huskies here Friday and Saturday In an Important two-game conference series. Oregon currently leads the northern division of the Paifi coast conference with three wins and lone loss. Washington has won one and lost one. rooters thought they'd at last reached the promised land when their cross-town rivals trailed, 44-35, at half-time. But the USC cagemen, un doubtedly recipients of a strenu ous shall we say lecture, came back in the last stanza to tie. the game up at 45 all In the regular time and went on to win in the overtimi period, 53-47. In other games the scores weren't as close. The Trojans captured No. 25 by a 69-36 tally and won No. 30 with a 60-26 triumph which must be some sort of intercollegiate cage re cord, ' That brings the rivalry up to date and tomorrow night the Bruins hopefully engage the Tro jans In No. 41, but the tea leaves in the cup don't forecast a Bruin victory even if the law of av erages is taking ten. Led: by little Gene Rock, a 5 foot 9-inch junior weighing 150 pounds, the men from Troy once more figure to hang another Bruin hide on the pennant wall. Rock, Coach Ernie Holbrook's "little giant," has been the Tro jan high scorer. In 14 games he has scored 175 points for an average of 12.5 points per game and has been the top Trojan point man in seven of the 14 tilts. Tennis Champion Will Go to Sea San Francisco, Jan. 21 UP) Naval Ensign Frederick Schroe der, national men's singles ten nis champion, is going to sea and leaving at Coronado high school his championship trophy. It will be a memorial, he said, to a schoolboy friend, Bob Car- rothcrs, who died in an automo bile accident in 1940 and "who might have been champion him self if he had lived." "He was a better tennis play er than I was, when we started out together at USC."

Contracts for Ball Plavers May be Frozen By Austin Bealmear ' New York, Jan. 21 (IP) Every thing is being set back a week in the coming major league base ball season including the open ing, the close and the all-star game and even the "holdout" campaign, which precedes each pennant fight, may be in for an enforced delay, This was indicated yesterday when . President William Har- ridge of the American League met with President Ford Frick of the national loop to complete the schedule - adjustments brought about by wartime nec essity. : . ; , Harridge disclosed that all clubs in his circuit had been ask ed to hold up player contracts until the director of economic stabilization rules whether base ball - comes under . the salary freezing order. . Frick said Na tional league clubs were with holding contracts for the same reason, with the exception of the New York Giants, who are proceeding under a regional rul ing. Baseball's advisory council, headed by Commissioner K. M. Landis, has asked for the na tional ruling on the matter of salaries, and players won't re ceive their contracts until it is made. Thus, no player can start his annual spring "holdout" for more money until he finds out how much he's being offered in the first place. The 1943 season, the league presidents agreed, will open on Wednesday, April 21, and close Sunday, Oct. 3. The annual all star game will be played Tues day, July 13, at Shibe park in Philadelphia, with the Athletics of the American league as spon sors. Since the Washington Sena tors open on the road, they will be hosts to the , Philadelphia Athletics in a preliminary game, April 20, under':' a time-honored arrangement of having a special opening game at the nation's capital every other year. . With each team making no more than three trips Into any other city, the officials estimat ed that 2,400,000 man-miles would be saved in transportation during the regular season. This, together with the mileage saved by training close to home, repre sents a total saving of approxi mately 5,000,000 man -miles, they said.

Shanty Hogan Gets Up Early Somerville, Mass., Jan. 20 (IP) The . war has led Fra (Shanty) Hogan, former Giants' catcher, to Co things that even the invincible John McGraw couldn't make, him do. McGraw would have consid ered that he had reached the millennium if he could have awakened Hogan in time to re port for 10 a.m. practice. Now, Hogan, a ship rigger, gets up at 5:30 a.m. and likes it. ; "The swellest thing about working in a shipyard is that you never get fined," said Ho gan, reminiscing about the days when he was known as one of McGraw's "bad boys." "During the five years I caught for the Giants, McGraw fined me a total of $4,000. No wonder some ball clubs can afford to pay big salaries. They take it back in fines." Hogan said he would like to obtain a minor league club after the war. He pointed out that he's still in his prime he's only 36 years old. But he still totes that 248 pounds he tried' to work' off when he was with the Giants.

Agitation Started For More Cage Fouls , ' By Jack Cuddy u New York', Jsn. 21 (U.B A whirl on the sports-go-round: Cali fornia boxing fans were given an unexpected and pleasant sur prise recently when Belle Martell, the only woman in the world ever to-hold a state license to referee boxing, stepped in. and handled an entire show. Miss Martell was forced into action when the state athletic commis sion refree ran out of gas and couldn't keep his appointment. She also is licensed as a time keeper and announced and tim ed and refereed the entire card. For the first time in the mem ory of many a veteran baseball man, the New York Yankees are in a bad way for outfielders. . . The Yankees may have been short of pitchers at some time and their infield may have need ed a replacement once in a while but not for years has the club been beset by ' the picket-line problem it now faces. . . . Man ager Joe McCarthy lost Tommy Heinrich to the services in the middle of last season and is now faced with the loss of one-man-team Joe Di Maggio, leaving only the veteran Charley Keller to carry the load and Roy Weath erly, formerly of Cleveland, for another spot. ... Two rookies, Russ Derry and Bud Metheny, are to fight it out for the re maining outfield position. ... Basketball's personal foul rule feud is waxing hotter than ever in local circles, at least. . . . All coaches agree that a new rule to replace the four personal statute is necessary because of the short age of manpower but none can agree on its exact make-up. , . A five-foul idea has been broached but Nat Holman of CCNY of fers the best suggestion yet. . . . Holman believes the limit should be removed entirely but to pro tect players from indiscriminate fouling, the opposing team should be awarded an additional free throw for every foul a player commits after he has been charged with four.

VM(hl PRODUCTION LADD V BUSH - SALtM DEXANCH of tha Q Thursday, January 21, 1943 Washington Tourney Off Spokane, Jan. 21 (IP) The an nual state high school basketball tournament is the latest sports victim '.of wartime travel and housing conditions. The board of control of the Washington High School Athle tic association last night cancel led the tourney "after careful consideration of all the prob lems involved." ' Housing was the chief obsta cle to staging the tournament, and J. D. Meyer, association sec retary, stressed the fact that University of Washington offi cials were willing to undertake the housing assignment, and seemed in favor of going ahead. "But," Meyer added, "it would have been necessary to house the boys in a large build ing and to provide cots. It might even have been necessary for the contestants to bring their own bedding." Tire and gas rationing, crowd ed rail facilities, the problem of feeding the contestants, coupled with the housing difficulties, in fluenced the decision of the board, Meyer explained.
