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 . . .
Probably the toughest
thing about Bob Smith's in
ability to play in the Shrine
game because of an injured
leg was the chance he missed
to perform before the eyes
of a large gathering of pro
fessional grid scouts . . . Bob
Is negotiating with the New
- York Giants, and if he could
have been In that ball game
and did himself proud,
whidh we believe he would
have done, it wouldn't have
hurt his chances any to earn
a nice contract from the
"Jims."
The county AAU casaba cir
cuit gets under way Friday
night and a successful season is
predicted by Fred Lennard. AAU
representative in Medford . . .
the only tiling worrying Fred is
how in the world to draw up
the schedule, what with gyms
being scattered from here to
breakfast and some of them not
available at one time and avail
able at another . . . Ingle's Cow
boys, last year's champions, have
another good club and may re
peat, although they'll get stiff
"unl irom the Little Sons
and Lost River, not to mention
several other dark horses.
That crowd which saw Ruben
stein's play SOCE last Fridav
nicht in the Medford senior high
gym was a third larger than the
biggest gathering of last season
Principal Leonard Mayficld of
the high school reports . . it
was the hugest we have seen
here since Jesse Owens and his
Olympians stood 'em up two
seasons ago . . . everybody must
have spent their dough on Fri
day night, because the Tigers
playing University high of Eu
gene the next evening, didn't
make the upstate quintets
guarantee.

Matewan, W. Va., Jan. 10
VPh-The Hatfields and Mc
Coys have decided to make
their (basketball) feud an an
nual affair with the second
encounter between descend
ants of the two famous moun
tain clans scheduled Friday
night.
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."

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.

Zeke Bonura Expects Large
Year; Balks at Salary Cut
By MORTIMER KREEGER
New Orleans, Jan. 10. (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."
Farm Payments Up
Corvallis, Jan. 10. (IP) N. C.
Donaldson, state AAA executive
officer, announced today pay
ments to farmers earning money
under the agricultural conserva
tion program are well ahead of a
year ago. About half the $4,000,
000 expected to be paid has been
distributed.
New York, Jan. 10. (JP) The
suit brought against Henry J.
(Bob) Topping by a private de
tective for $5235 he claimed the
tinplate heir owed him for ob
taining divorce evidence against
Topping's first wife, Jayne Shad
duck Topping, was dismissed to
day in federal court.

STATE SETS UP
FOR UNSKILLED
Hartford, Conn. (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.
Navy Fliers Rescued
Bremerton, Wash., Jan. 10.
(JP) Two occupants of a navy
seaplane were rescued by a
fisherman today after the craft
was damaged in alighting on
Sinclair inlet, a mile west of
Puget Sound navy yard. The
plane was reported to be from
the U.S.S. Saratoga. Names of
the occupants were not learned
immediately.
