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."

Bruins Keep Trying
For Win Over Trojans
Los Angeles, Jan. 21 (U.B Way back on February 13, 1932, the
Bruins from the University of California at Los Angeles defeated
the Trojans from the University of Southern California in a bas
ketball game, 26-24. In 40 at--
tempts since that memorable
date the Bruins have made both
spectacular and miserable at

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

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.

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.

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.
