Ever-amazing science has taken care of that, and according to the latest reports, has already perfected television to the extent where images 18 by 24 Inches square can be pro jected on a screen.

So far as night klttenball Is con cerned, this corner believes It would be great. Hundreds of Medford gen tlemen would llkf nothing better than to get out there under the stsrn and wham an overgrown base hall Into the far reaches of the field and run baiK-s like Ty Cobb. All ot which is fine and dandy, Klttenball need not apologtre to any sport In the world in the matter of popu larity However, about the night football angle, we can't see what the per cu tag la.

We say "slightly chilly" so the local C. ot C. won't Jump down our throat. Any way, who wants to see a football game at night when It Is so cold the players fumble the bait alt over the field because of icicles that once wore fingers. Of course, if lights are installed, that Is no sure sign Medford will see night football. Perhaps the arcs will be used only for night kltten btill, which so far as we are con cerned, would be playing It smart. SIGNED FOR PLAY IN KATBALL LOOP With the definite signing of nine klttenball teams for entrance In the fast league, the campaign to light the high school football field was progressing nicely today. Many more outfits are expected to pledge their entrance In the secondary, or In dustrial, circuit and officials work ing on the project were confident the required number of clubs would be lined up within tho next few days. Teams which have- already pledged their entrance fee of $15 are Ofttce Boys. Jennings Tire, 20-30 club. Cath olic young men, Hughes fit Under wood high school. Moose lodge. Tim ber Products and Lamport's. Those teams, to compose the fast league, will play regardless of whether the field is' lighted or not. Russ Acheson. athletic coach of Medford Junior high' school, who la lining up the teams, stated that the 15 entrance fees would be used to light the field, and that at least 30 clubs would be necessary before in stallation of the glimmers was as sured. Tho secondary, or Industrial league. Acheson said, would consist of teams yet to pledge their entrance, among which to be contacted wero the Oates Auto, postofflec, Copco, Standard Oil. Mall Tribune, Shell Oil, Western States, Lions club. Elks club, Rotary club. Groceteria, Montgomery Ward National Guard and others. It was pointed out that kitten boll had become. In a short span of years, the most popular of sports for the working man; a sport that pro vides mild cxcrci5e and does not re quire a great amount of skill. A be ginner may enjoy the game as much as a veteran. "We are urging people to support this program because It will flnaix the lighting of our fine athletic field." Acheson stated. "With a lighting system Installed, a wider range of activities will bo presented on the field, such as evening track meets, pageants, night football in addition to klttenball.

FACES BELGASTRO Sailor Dick Trout, who in his first appearance here last Monday night looked to be Just about the coolest and smartest grapplcr to bo seen In many moons, meets Peto Belcastro, the mad Italian from Weed, In the main bout of Promoter Mack Lil lard's grumble and grimace program at the Armory next Monday evening. Altho a newcomer to the local ring. Trout f-howed so much ability In defeating the screwy Russian Lion, George La goskl, that LUlard didn't hesitate in promoting him to the top spot after only one showing. Sailor Trout, who calls San Pedro. CaJlf., his home town, made short work of Lagoskl. .Several times he seemed to be In a bad way, but always he extricated himself with ap parently little effort, and cooly pro ceeded to give the hilarious Russian the trouncing of his life. Belcastro earned his right to a main billing by fouling and roughing Alvln Brltt into oblivion. Against Trout, he will discover that a grappler can remain Clean and prove very ef fective, for Trout has both those characteristics to a marked degree. Joe smollnski, the Polish Palooka who Is ranked second only to Ted Christy as Medford's pet hate, will tangle with Alvln Brltt tn the six round middle event. Brltt Is still frothing at the thumping be took from Belcastro last Monday, and has sworn to "get" all dirty grapplers that cross his path from now on. Smo llnski will be the first. The match has all the earmarks of being one of those things that sends the custom ers Into hysteria. Dangerous Danny McShane, rated one of tho best grapplers on the Pa cific coast, will tangle with Sammy Fee back. In the opener. Both are newcomers to the local squared circle, McShane being from Alaska and Fee back from Kansas City, Mo. tlonal league l uso all his expe rience was In that circuit.

(AP) College track scouts, hunt ing talent, can take a tip from Oren Collins ot the Alaska game commtaslon'a Arctic patrol, who would like to back a few Eskimos against marathon runnera and high Jumpers In the States. "Eskimos are Inferior to white men tn sprints, but have wonder ful endurance In longer races," Collins aald. "I could beat them eaally In -ahort runa, but In long run they can go mile after mile tn loose snow without appearing tired, though they are clothed In furs." He told of holding his handa above his head at a height of more than seven feet and having an Eskimo kick them with both feet together. "With amazing agility." he aald, "the native then landed upright on hla feet. "In this sport they are particu larly adept," he said.
