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.

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.
It was tentatively re-sched

Coach Lon Stiner and several
players who are visiting re la
ttves are expected to return to

SPORTSMENS CLUB
HOLDS IMPORTANT
T
Sportsmen of the Rogue River
valley are urged to attend the
meeting of the Rogue River
Sportsmen's club tonight at
7:30 in. the chamber of com'
merce building.
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. I didn't fight In
the last war, but I was raised
