Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1939. Sport Graph Billy Hnlen layi: Prediction For 1939 Sport Year Run Hot And Cold Kenny Washington Gets Most Votes for All - Coast Eleven Messing around toflay in what passes for our files, we ran across a "eolyum" done on the 31st day of December, 1938. As we are not in the habit of hoarding our alleged literary efforts, It was with consider able misgivings that we dragged it from a conglomeration of this and that, which will never be of any use to us. Immediately our worst sus picions were realized, for it was that out-on-a-limb thing we penned on the last day of last year, that glimpse-into-the-future pillar wherein we attempted to put the finger on a lot of sports results for this year of 1939. Reading that piece now, when the current year is on its last legs and the 1939 sports parade is practically at an end, we are vercome with mixed emotions. For some of those predictions are masterpieces of insight, in reverse, while others are well, we are modest and all that, but some of them are pretty nifty, if we do say so. For instance, and all that fol lows In quotes are the predic tions: "They can't stop them Yanks, who will blast their way to another American league pennant and whip the Cincinnati Reds in the world series." That's not bad calling, suh, nor is thist "In the Southern Oregon league. Mod ford will repeat its flag hoist ing ceremonies." Nor thist "Nobody will bust Babe Ruth's homer record of 60. Diss? Dean won't be of much use to the Cubs.- Bob Feller will go great guns for the Cleveland Indians." On the other hand, look at these screwy baseball predic tions: "Paul Dean will make a great icnieback with the Car dinals, Lefty Grove's arm will till bother him and he won't win over 10 games for the Red Sox, Freddy Hutchinson will tar for Detroit." And, the crowning Insult to our prognos ticating prowess: - "In the Paci fic Coast league, Portland will grab the championship," Well, that's right, we guess, for the Beavers did win the loop bunt ing (cellar variety.) Webfoots will win the northern division crown of the Pacific Coast conference, and in the playoff series with the southern division winner, will become conference champs." The Tigers, you remember, were runners-up for the state crown, and Ore gon certainly copped the coast title, along with the national championship. We just didn't carry the Webfoots far enough In football, some predictions were good and some were wer- ra, werra bad. "Klamath Falls will finally win itself a South ern Oregon conference cham pionship, by virtue of beating Medford in a stupendous battle in Klamath Falls." Not so good that, but the Pelicans did get a half Interest in the champion ship, although they didn't beat Medford, only tied them. But. look at this one: "Sou thern California will' once more win the coast confer ence crown, with Oregon Slate's Beavers In second place." When the Trojans beat UCLA tomorrow, that's exactly the way the coast one two teams will line up. "Ore gon will be a disappointment, because of a weak line; Jimmy Phelan will again be on the pan at Washington, and Tiny Thornhlll will move out at Stanford after a bad year." Well, Oregon wasn't a disap pointment and it certainly didn't have a weak linei Phel an was on the pan for awhile but it looks like he has got off, and Thornhlll Is through, no doubt of that. Saving the best for the last, here is what we call some stu pendous long-range predicting: "Other sports happenings of the year will see Australia lift the Davis cup from America, Don Budge bent Ellsworth Vines In the majority of their pro tennis matches, Eddie Simmons repeat his victory in the Southern Oregon-Northern California golf tournament here, California crew beat Washington and win at Poughkeepsie, professional football come to the coast in earnest, Softball enjoy another big year in Medford, and nobody run 100 yards in 9 seconds." Our fling at the boxing future was no better than at the na tional pastime, as witness: "Joe Louis will lick John Henry Lew is and retain the heavyweight title. Lou Nova will wallop Maxle Baer and Tony Galento." The latter was half right, any way, but this next one was 100 per cent off: "Armstrong will lick Ambers again." Lou turned the tables on Hammerln' Hank, despite many squawks from Armstrong's camp. In basketball, we must sub mit to the laurels being placed on our cranium. Read em and weep: "Mcdford's Tigers will grab off the district 0 cham pionship and finish one-two in the state tournament.

A fJPi rVnnh Jimmy Phelan will be at the helm of the University of Wash ington football machine next year. This was the assumption on the Wnshlnpinn when Director of Athletics Ray bckmann admitted he planned to confer during the day with i neian. Campus observers assume the meeting could mean but one thing that a new contract would be negotiated. Indications are tnal Phelan will be offered a one-year con tract at probably a lower salary than he now receives. Under a new university rule an athletic coach cannot receive a higher snlnr.v than a denn, which is aboift $7,000. Closing time for Too Late to Clas sify Ada U 1:30 p. m.

Gee Walker, the Chicago White Sox outfielder, who a couple of months ago was bellowing for a recount, is going where they really know what the word means Washington.- In a midnight maneuver that topped the previously feeble trading efforts of the mid-winter baseball meeting, the pale hose sent him to the Senators for outfielder Taft Wright and pitcher Pete Appleton. The deal was the answer of the Chicago management to the anguished cries of Walker con cerning his bonus arrangement with the club last year. Except for this consideration and the possibility that it was the forerunner of another trans action, the deal did not make sense. Chicago has been seeking a right-handed hitting outfielder and instead got a left-handed batter. The club gave up an ex perienced 30 year old slugger who batted in 111 runs last sea son, his poorest in six years, for a frequent but not timely hitter and a 35-year-old pitcher who only once in his long ser vice with five, major league clubs ever won more than eight games in a season.
