Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRTEUKE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1940. Sport Graphi Billy Hulen says: Klamath Quintet May Prove Tough Despite Record Klamath high's basketball Pel icans, starting the season with a bunch of regulars from last year's team and great prospects, haven't done so well thus far, winning three games and drop ping five. But because of the extreme rivalry existent Bnd the fact that the games will be played on the Klamath floor, Medford high's Tigers may have their hands full when they go over the Green springs Friday for a two-game series with the Dutch French quintet, the first of which will inaugurate Southern Oregon con ference play for the locals. The Pelicans have beaten Yreka. 20 to 8: Chico. 22 to 20, and Grants Pass, 30 to 23. They have lost to Chico. 27 to 41) Coquille. 17 to 21) Msrshfield. 21 to 24: North Bend, 27 to 33 and Ashland 18 to 20. On the face of it this doesn't appear to be an extra good record, but per haps the competition was keen, or something. The Pelicans, Bill Cummings of the Klamath News-Herald writes us, have 10 players of practically equal ability. So equal, in fact, that Coach French has no first string lineup; in stead, substituting freely throughout every game with the result that all players see almost the same amount of action. Love and Crane, forwards; Reginato, center and Erlandson and Lowe, guards, usually open the struggles, Bill writes, Lut are replaced singly and in gobs by Rush, Cody, Cooley, Lorenz and Eittriem. Grenville Lansdell, U. S. C. quarterback, will appear in the "flikkers" soon in a western ... if he can ride a horse and fire a six-shooter like he played football for El Trojan, it oughta be a fair to mlddlin' movie . . . we see and hear where some of the local high school boys are agitating for baseball in the school this spring . . . more power to thera . . .

The McCoys, holding's de cided edge in height, won last years first engagement, 37-35. Considerable attention was attracted by the novelty of friendly competition between families which were mortal enemies during the years of the famous Hatfield-McCoy feud in southern West Vir ginia and nearby Kentucky. LARGER ROSE BOWL IS PLAN OF DIRECTORS; L SEAT Pasadena, Cal Jan. 10. W) City directors are considering enlarging the Rose bowl, scene of the annual New Year's foot ball game, from 83,570 seats to 100.000. Director George L. Shuler told the board that hundreds of visitors from all sections of the nation, here during the hol iday season, were disappointed by inability to attend the game. Enlarging the bowl would cost from $3 to $6 a seat, Build ing Superintendent Walter Put nam said. The Tournament of Roses as sociation has received its first application for the 1941 game, and the writer, Chester Turner I of Los Angeles, said he didn't ! care who played. I He enclosed a check for $8.80 for two tickets "for seats any where in the Rose bowl," adding that he "barely got in this year by the skin of my teeth, and as I have attended all these games I don't want to miss out In 1941."

Mgr m l 2 BILLY CONN IN FIRST START AS HEAVYJONiGHT Light-Heavyweight Champ Fights Henry Cooper in New York; Conn Favorite By Bill White New York, Jan. 10. (JP) Watching Billy Conn, the steel city sock maker, in his Madison Square Garden fight tonight will be something like seeing Hamlet in a Tuxedo. The Melancholy Dane could be just as unhappy in evening clothes as in a toga, and simi larly, Conn is still Conn even though this time he is a heavy weight. No More Opponents Having climbed the light heavyweight ladder until no more rungs were left, the Pitts burgh power house decided to become a heavyweight. Not be cause he liked to fight bigger guys, but because there is more money in that division and Conn isn't in the fight game just for the fun of wearing satin pants. So Billy, the light-heavyweight king, signed as a heavy weight to meet Steve Dudas, a veteran trial horse, but that wor thy caught an attack of la grippe. So Billy must try out his heavier artillery on Henry Cooper of Brooklyn. A husky 190-pounder. Cooper has no more imagination lhan a clock, but possesses a very good straight left hand punch. Wants Louis Next Nearly everyone, except the immediate members of the Cooper clan, think Conn will win handily. Conn thinks it will be only a matter of time until he is in there with Joe Louis a prospect that doesn't seem to frighten him the way it should.

(IP) Zeke (Ben Hurt Bonura, wearing a circle of rhinestones on his head and brandishing a baseball bat, vowed today he felt a good season coming up and wouldn't sign a contract offered him by the New York Giants. Zeke wouldnt say so dui Hi was rumored the Giants wanted their slugging first baseman to take a cut of 33 1-3 per cent from his reported 1939 pay of $15, 000. The rhinestones and bat were a portrayal of Zeke's dual per sonality. The circle was the crown he wore the other night when he took the part of Ben Hur and reigned as king of a glittering New Orleans carnival ball. The bat, needless to say, was just like the club he wielded so well last year for the National league baseball club. It was a new bat, a pretty thing of two-toned wood fresh from the factory. It has "a lot of hits in it." said Zeke, and he added significantly that if the Giants did not want those hits there were others who did. The crown-and-bat act was just a gag for the benefit of a newspaper photographer, but Zeke appeared dead serious when he got on the subject of the Giants' salary offer. "I like to play ball for Bill Terry," he declared, "but I have to stand up for my rights. "I had a good year last year. I'm in fine condition, I take care of myself, and I'm going to have another good season. I'm good for some years yet. "But I'm not going to sign that contract I got cutting mc down."

(U.R) Connec ticut is meeting a shortage of skilled help in the state's boom ing factories by opening the first of a group of special experi mental all-night schools for in dustrial beginners. Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin, mentioned as a possible candi date for the Republican vice presidential nomination, de clares this "Job-training" school the first of its kind in the Uni ted States. It was opened here with 70 unemployed youths enrolled. No jobs were promised. They were offered a 200-hour course of general shop training, consid ered sufficient to permit them to get jobs as apprentices in in dustrial plants, which were ex pected to absorb them quickly. Most of the large factories are cooperating, principally by lend ing skilled employes to teach the youths the rudiments of shop practice. Classes are held from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. five .nights weekly at the state trade school. Similar programs are planned in Con necticut's other large cities as soon as they can be prepared.
