Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Dick Hanen Will Participate in Tournament Here WEILAND The boys won't start teeing off for some three weeks yet but already much clubhouse talk has to do with the annual Southern Oregon-Northern California ama teur tournament at the Rogue Valley Golf club, which gets under way August 30 and runs four days. It's the major golfing event of the year in this section, and naturally the local clubbers are more than a little interested whenever up pops the name of an out-of-town star who plans to participate in the tourney, and attempt to walk off with the big prize. Such a name which has pop ped up is that of Dick Hanen s. the 19 year -old Marsh field youngster, who Just recently reached the finals of the Wash ington State amateur, where he was ' knocked off by Scotty Campbell, the defending cham pion. Hanen, according to Club Manager George Robertson, will definitely compete in the tourney. And with him will be his sponsor. North Bend's Denny Hull, who is getting long In years, but who can still make the younger boys bear down on every shot. Hull, it will be rememberd sprung the tournament's big upset last season by eliminat ing Hubert Benlley. 1 up. in the first round. So the Marshfield young one will be here again and, from the manner in which he has been winning matches in the north west this summer, it appears he will go into action as one of the heavily-backed favorites. Appar ently, Hanen has improved his game tremendously and will of fer a serious threat to such local ihotmakers as Eddie Simmons, champion in 1939 and 1938; Le land Clark, last year's runner up; Bob Hammond, George Har rington and other low-handicap men. Hanen's appearance here will mark his third shot at the title. Last year he won medalist hon ors with a 71 and stayed in the running to the semi-finals, where he bowed out to Lcland Clark, 2 and 1. And Clark, in last sea son's tournament, was playing probably the best golf of his career. In 1838 Iluncn was beaten In the quarter-finals.

Unfortunately, o n 1 y a small quantity of butadiene Is being made at the present and it now appears that the creation of manufacturing facilities for large quantities presents the greatest problem In connection with obtaining synthetic rubber in volume." To take care of America's needs at the front and at home prior to a complete switch to I synthetic production, the Fire-1 stone official enumerated two other steps. The first would be t to conserve our stocks of crude : rubber and finished products. and the second would be to un dertake a vigorous campaign 1 for the collection of aid tires, , tubes and other scrap from which rubber can be salvaged, j "Our annual requirements are 573,000 tons of tree-grown rub- j ber," he said. "At the present; nime, the rubber Industry has on hand enough raw rubber toi last for three months at the current rate of consumption, with another two-month supply I in transit. Stocks of tires, tubes : and other products now In the hands of manufacturers and dis-1 tributors are sufficient for four j months more. "Thus, our present stock of raw materials and finished pro-1 ducts would last nine months." I Considering this natural crude supply together with the greatly expanded production of j reclaimed rubber and the tran-1 sition into synthetic products, . the effects of a major interrup- j tion in natural rubber supplies would not seem disastrous. sign that read: "30 per cent savings."

Firestone, Jr., revealed that the Firestone company has been carrying on a steady experi mental program with synthetic rubber since 1932. While Mr. Firestone's outlook takes Into consideration all the disturbing factors of a rubber shortage, it is sufficiently reassuring to al lay fears that there would be disastrous results should the ma jor sources of crude rubber supply be cut off from the United States. "As far back as 1933." said Mr. Firestone, "we produced synthetic rubber tires, and our company was the first to pro vide the U. S. armed forces with tires made from synthetic material.
