Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1942. Sport Graphs o Billy Ilulen Says: Salem Produces Fine Info Book On Cage Quintet It is fortunate for tome teams that athletic contests are won and lost on the field of play Instead of by public relations departments. If this latter were the case, Medford's Tigers would have absolutely no chanca to upset the Salem high Vikings on the basketball maple her Fri day and Saturday nights. 1 The capital city institution has really gone big-time this season as regards publicizing its undoubtedly very capable casa ba crew, runners-up for the state crown last year and state title-holders the two seasons previous. Travis Cross of the Salem high athletic news bureau has edited an Information booklet on the Vikings that can stand right alongside those Issued by lots of colleges, and without blushing. It is really a fine piece of work, and to a sports writer It is like a most happy dream come true. In this book wa learn that Coach Harold Hauk, who starred on Willamette univer elty cage teams from 1927 to 1930. is starting his sixth year as mentor of Salem basketball teams. During those five pre vious years his teams won 101 fames while losing 41 lor a percentage of .678, captured the state championship In 1S3( and 1940 and the No Name league pennant In 1938 and 1841. The pamphlet devotes a good ly portion of its space to sketches of the current quint, which Coach Russ Acheson's Tigers are figuring on at least splitting even with and maybe belting twice. , Dutch Simmons, flve-foot-10-men, ISOpound senior; Don (Red) Cutler, spring-legged six-foot-two-inch senior and Joe Bower vox, another senior standing five-feet-eight inches tall, are the returning lettermen at the forwards. Courtney Jones, a lanky Juni or who stands six feet two Inches and weighs 160 pounds. Is Salem's leading center. He has had one year's experience on the Junior varsity and boasts fine pivot shot, according to the booklet. Bud Coons, a six-footer weigh ing 473 pounds, is a two-year veteran guard. He's aggressive and fine shot in the clutch. Teaming with Coons at the guard posts are Rex Hardy, flve-foot-10 inch Junior; Don Chap man, 8-foot 11-lnch sophomore and SUn Prather, a f ive-f oot-1 1 lnch senior transfer. Four of the probable five In the Salem starting lineup were football players last fall, so will have a certain amount of incen tive to beat the TlRcrs. Coons was the Viking fullback, Sim mons and Hardy were the "touchdown twin" halfbacks and Jones played end on the "B" eleven. Al (Wray) Lightner.

""""We - - .w DOUBLE OFFSIDE, 'SLEEPER PLAYS' Syracuse 'Y-Formatlon Made Illegal Clarifica tions For Several Points. By Robert Myers Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 7. OP) The 1842 college football rule book remains almost exactly as It was last season, but the gov erning rules committee clarified a few points and wrote two stern frowns Into the text on a couple of practices. One raised eyebrow was di rected at officials taking the easy way out in calling both teams off-side and, while the crowd yawned, making them re play the maneuver. Advisory coaches sitting in at the rule meeting at the Camel back Inn before adjournment yesterday Joined with Chairman Walter Okeson in condemning the practice. Usually, they said, it is apparent that one or the other eleven is off-side and there Is a rule that says when one player draws another off side, number one's team should get five yards backward. 13-Yard penalty "We want to eliminate this double offside matter," said Okeson. The hideout, or sleeper play, where It Is screened by substi tutions, was also frowned upon and a 13-yard penalty attached for future reference. Thla type of play comes when a coach sends in, say, five players. In the confusion, six players start off the field only one stops at the sideline and takes refuge In the cluster of chain-handlers, the headllnesman and possibly eight photographers. The sleeper play with the wide flanker la all right but not under this kind of wrap. West coast observers will re member that Bab Holllngbery of Washington State thought he detected this in one game, yell ed to high heaven and the 'sleeper was awakened. Gone, too, under, the 1842 supplemented rules, Is the re-versed-center, which gained prominence last season on Ossle Solem's Syracuse team. It was described as the "Y-formation." Alonio Stagg sounded the keynote of its death knell when he commented: "Football is a combat game. and should not be played by players turning their backa to their opponents. Must Face Foe The new rule clarifications says that a player, to be legally on the line of scrimmage, must face his opponents' end line, and his feet must be behind the ball. Another supplemental note provides that in the last two minutes of a half a referee may start or atop the clock if, in his opinion, one team or the other is Intentionally trying to delay a game by sending In sub stitutes. It also more sharply defined the last two-minute sub rule to prescribe that when the referee has finally and definitely put the ball into place ready for play, no sub can be sent in without bringing a fivyard penalty along with him. Date Is Changed for Banquet for Beavers Corvallls, Jan. 7. Wl Ore gon State's Rose Bowl football squad will be welcomed in a day-long celebration Thursday. but the banquet scheduled for that night has been postponed.

At this meeting the club will decide on the annual recom mendations which should be made, to the state game com mission for 1942. The commis sion meets on January 10 and it Is important that the local recommendations be sent In, ac cording to Kenneth G. Denman, club president. The proposed government dam at Debinger Gap on Rogue river will also be discussed and the club's policy determined. Many sportsmen have express ed concern that thla dam will ultimately destroy the runs of salmon, steelhead, and other mi gratory fish in the Rogue river. The proposal is to build a dam which would be about 190 feet high. This would back the water up above Trail, Ore., and de stroy approximately 13 miles of spawning beds. The stand of the local sportsmen and all allied interests should be made known on this proposal. Another matter to be pre sented will be the present reg ulation of the state game com mission prohibiting the hunting of bear with dogs. Considerable interest has been shown in this matter by the stockmen in the surrounding territory and all those interested are urged to be present Many fear that the present protection given to bear will cause them to increase and become a great source of dam age to stock. Other matters of vital Inter est to fishers and sportsmen will be presented and everyone Is urged to be present on time.

Jack Dempsey Wants A Crack At Germans; Barred By Age By Seth Moseley- New York, Jan. 7. (P) A 4&year-old man who once lick ed eight Germans in three minutes with one awfully tough fist walked into the army recruiting station today and volunteered as a buck private. His name Is Jack Dempsey. The biggest drawing card in the history of the boxing ring weighed in at 210 pounds as an indifferent doctor tapped the chest that a lot of bigger men never reached. "But I've got to tell you about those Germans first," he said "It was in the summer of 1923 I was still champ when I was on a barnstorming tour and landed in Berlin. .. f "t offered $1,000 to anyone who could stay three rounds with me. But the Heinles gang ed up on me. First they sent in three small guys, then three fast ones, and finally two more, try ing to wear me down. I knocked 'em all down in three minutes." The former world's heavy weight champion expanded his chest to punctuate the point "Been thlnkin' about Joining since Pearl harbor," he said, "soon as the waiver on my age comes through, thev nv th-v'll take me. I don't want a rank. 1 11 do whatever they tell me to shoulder a gun, anything I'd like a crack at the Ger mans." But the army didn't take him. Although Dempsey passed his physical examination, Col. John F. Daye, in charge of recruiting In the southern New York area, said that since Dempsey was 46 he could not be enlisted "unless and until congress passes a law raising the age limit from 33 years." Dempsey had expressed en thusiasm about joining up, dur ing his examination. He said he had an athletic program mapped out which he would submit to the army and If it was accepted ha would help plan a novel sports program to keep army men fit. "My wife (the former actress Hannah Williams) and the two kids think It's good thing," Dempsey continued. "I'm Join ing the army because I under stand it better.
