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. Oregon's

Jimmy Phelan will be at the

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.

GEE WALKER GOES
TO SENATORS IN
BASEBALL TRADE
By Judton Bailey
Cincinnati, Dec. 8. 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.
