NAVY TO RECEIVE
OF LARGEST GATE
Jacobs Expects Fight To
Top Previous High Of
$201,613; Joe Favorite.
Br Sid Fader
New York. Jan. 8. Wr The
biggest pile of 'fresh" ever col
lected under one root in me
hutory of boxing will be heaped
in the middle of Madison Square
Garden's ring tomorrow night,
If the iron men keep arriving
on their present schedule.
This chunk of exchequer has
been lured in by the heavy
weight championship shindig
between Joe Lou If and Buddy
Baer, and, since that's our way
when the cause Is good, by the
fact that the show Is for the
navy relief fund for the families
of sailors at sea or those killed
in action.
Promoter Mike Jacobs, who
isn't taking enough out of this
affair for a new packet of poln
settia seed for the Miami man
sion, announced today that he
is shooting at a new all-time
indoor gate receipts record.
- He figures he stands a good
chance of getting it if the last
day rush to the ticket counters
reports as usual.
20.000 To Pay
This would mean that the
20,000 customers expected for
what is listed as a 15-rounder
(even Buddy's best friends don't
see how he can last that long)
would chip In to a Jackpot to
top the $201,613 "take" the
night Jimmy Maloney outpoint
ed Jack Delaney In the same
aoupbowl back on Feb. 18, 1927.
-That's the sweetest tune the
cash registers ever sang for an
indoor show in the history of
busting beaks.
The nicest part about this one,
though in addition to the fact
that the fight game's big door
prize is on the line Is that the
navy fund cuts in for the sweet
est piece of sugar. With Mike
giving up his entire profit, Louis
tossing his whole 40 percent
into the bundle in a grand ges
ture, and Baer giving up 2Vi
percent of his 15 in addition
to risking health and safe-being
against the Bomber it wouldn't
be surprising if the sailor boys'
kiddies collected $100,000 or
slightly more.
Last For Louis
So far as the nose-flattening
itself Is concerned, Louis, mak
ing his last trip to the post
before trading in his trunks for
soldier suit and possibly his
last outing for keeps Is high
and hot for this one.
This corner, having watched
him tear sparring partners apart
to see what makes them tick,
picks the Bomber to give Buddy
enough, and a little extra, be
fore the bell sounds starting the
fourth.
Buddy's a nice fellow, mind
you, good to his folks, willing,
and not afraid (are ya llst'nin'.
Max?). He has a right hand
that packs a can of ether, and
when he fought Louts last May
he gave Joe a whiff of it.
But he is easy to hit and
when a fighter has that nasty
little habit, the safest way to
fight Joe Is out of a bomb-proof
shelter.

Don't let Lon Stiner's visit to
his alma mater, Nebraska,
mislead you into handing him
the coaching job Ma. Biff
Jones may vacate soon for
army service.
The coach of Oregon
State's Rose Bowl football
champions wouldn't have the
post, says Bud ' Forrester,
Beaver publicist. The reason:
Stiner thinks so much of
Nebraska he Just couldn't
stand it if he were coaching
and the team lost a game.
HOPPE TO START
TITLE DEFENSE
Chicago, Jan. 8 VP) Bll
llards' boy-wonder 40 years ago
and today a greater figure than
ever in the game, Willie Hoppe
tomorrow night will start after
the answer to question many
fans and Hoppe himself are
asking:
Will his game ever again hit
the peak It attained the last two
years?
The 84-year-old Hoppe, whose
wizardry with a cue carried him
to his first billiards title 36 years
ago, will defend his world three
cushion crown against nine oth
er experts in a tournament to
run through Jan. 23.
Coming back to challenge the
New York title holder will be
Jake Schaefer, runner-up for
two years; Welker Cochran, the
San Francisco ace who handed
Willie his only defeat a year
ago; Ralph Greenleaf, 17 times
world's pocket billiards cham
pion; Joe Chamaco, the Mexican
star: Art Thurnblad of Chicago
and Otto Reiselt of Philadelphia,
both former champions; and Earl
Lookabaugh, Chicago; John Fitz
patrick, Los Angeles, and Art
Rubin, New York. Each player
will play nine games.
RECORD ENTRY IS
ABC PREDICTION
St Petersburg, Fla., Jan. 8.
(IP) Imagine a national sports
tournament lasting from 12 to
13 weeks, with 30,000 contest
ants, and with as many as 240
teams competing in a single day.
That says Secretary c. it.
Baumgarten of the American
Bowling Congress, Is typical
ABC national tournament and
he predicted today all records
would be broken for number of
participants In the forthcoming
1942 meet at Columbus, O.
"When I left Milwaukee the
other day we had more than
8,800 reservations for five-man
teams at Columbus," said Baum
garten, here on a vacation, "and
there is no question b. t that the
ABC this year will exceed the
record entry of 8,073 five-man
teams at Detroit in 1940.
Los Angelas, Jan. 8. (Pi
One hundred twenty-eight golf
ers who've tramped thousands
of miles this week practicing
and qualifying for the $10,000
Los Angeles open hadn t a thing
to do today but wait and worry
for the tee off at 8 a.m. (11
a.m., EST) tomorrow.
Horton Smith, who used to
win more than his share of
these tournaments and still
keeps well up among the money
winners by finishing rather con
sistently in the first 10, added
a hole In one to the week's rec
ord of surprising practice
rounds. He holed out a No. 1
Iron shot on the 21S yard sixth
of the tourney site, Hillcrest
country club. It wss the sixth
ace of his career and helped him
to a final tuneup score of 69-68
over the 72 par layout.

By Douglas Edea
Ashland, Jan. 8. (Spl)
Coach Jean Eberhart, basket
ball mentor for the Southern
Oregon College of Education,
may well deserve the praise that
has been bestowed upon him
and his terrific team which has
won eight straight games to

SOCE now leads all teams in
the Oregon-Intercollegiate race
with four conference wins to
its credit.
The squad will leave Friday

The Sons will rest two days
and then again pack their trav
eling bags and hit the road.
Friday, January 16 and Satur
day, January 17, they will meet
O.C.E. in two games at Mon
mouth. O.C.E. Is now rated

ings, so a close battle may be
expected.
Monday, Jan. 19, and Wed
nesday, Jan. 21, will find the

college, but this time in Port
land.
It Is Interesting to note that
of the eight games played in

opposition only 33 per average
game.
NO NORMAL MINDS
PROFESSOR STATES
Buffalo. N. Y. (UP) There
is no such thing as a normal
mind In the world today, accord
ing to Nathaniel F. Cantor, so
cial science professor at the Uni
versity of Buffalo.
Declaring that no one has de
veloped the well-rounded per
sonallty necessary for normal
ity, Dr. Cantor points out that
there are both positive and
negative types of social malad
justment. He claims that the
individual who "dares to be
himself and is unafraid to ex
press his differences" and the
individual who "cannot accept
responsibility for positive be
havior and is overcome by guilt
and. fear" are both abnormal
and have emotional conflicts.
"Anyone who has achieved a
satisfactory dynamic balance be
tween the need for self-expression
and the need for self-repression
has a normal personality,"
Dr. Cantor asserts. "Such a per
son will possess a sense of Inter
nal freedom, a feeling of inner
confidence and a lack of dis
ruptive fear."

Brooklyn Holds Up
Mailing Contracts;
Two Already Signed
By Judson Ballsy
New York, Jan. 8. (IP) Be
cause of the war the Brooklyn
Dodgers have decided to post
pone mailing 1942 contracts to
the National league champions
until next month, but most
other clubs Insisted today they
were following a "business as
usual" policy.
The doubt of the TWl0r Ural
explained by Secretary John
ivicuonaid:
"We operate on a budget and
in normal seasons w hava a
payroll of around $300,000. But
right now I don't guess anyone
knows what receipts to expect
from next season and we're go
ing to sit on the situation a
few weeks before committing
ourselves on salaries."
President Larrv MacPhail L
toying with the idea of includ
ing Donus clauses In the con
tracts of some of his higher
Drlced stars. MrDnnnM nHHH
so that their salaries would re
flect whatever financial success
the Dodgers might have next
summer.
So far that TVwfao
signed two players Pitcher
Kirby Higbe and batting cham
pion Pete Reiser. But they ex
pect some trouble in reaching
terms with first baseman Dolph
Camllli, who was voted the
league's most valuabln nlavar
and possibly with some of their
omer stars. The salaries of at
least five of their cast run Into
five figures, with Joe Medwick
probably tops at about $20,000.
Camilll would like to get into
that ranee. He
have been 'paid $15,000 last
year.

Prices Skates for Rent
OF
FLEET
TOKYO
Washington, Jan. 8
The whereabouts and intentions
of the United States Pacific
fleet apparently were causing
renewed concern today in
Tokyo.
There was evidence of this In
the enemy's recourse to the axis
guessing technique the circula
tion of vague reports designed
to elicit valuable Information.
Both the Tokyo radio and a
German-controlled station co
operated in broadcasting the in
itial feelers. Tokyo was heard
reporting an engagement be
tween the Japanese and Amer
ican fleets in the western Pa
cific. The nazi story, aired from
a station in The Netherlands,
had the Japanese attacking two
U. S. battleships en route to
Australia, and sinking one of
them.
The navy department here
declined comment on Tokyo's
sea battle last night, and dis
missed the nazi report as some
thing containing "not an lota
of truth."
It was noted in passing here,
however, that the reports hard
ly bore out the repeated axis
claims that the Pacific fleet had
been "crippled," "knocked out"
and finally as one Japanese
source had it "destroyed to
pieces" by the Pearl harbor at
tack. House Would Shift
La Guardia Power
Washington, Jan. 8. (JPl The
house decided tentatively today
to shift financial responsibility
for the nation's civilian defense
from Mayoi LaGuardia of New
York to the war department.
Action to give war department
authority to control civilian de
fense spending came on a vote
of 110 to 58 as the house con
sidered legislation authorizing
expenditure of $100,000,000 to
provide safeguards against aerial
attacks.

TEMPORARY LULLIFOR CANT
Seattle, Jan. 8. (JP) Indica
tions of at least a temporary
subsidence of the submarine
menace off the Pacific coast
were seen in an official 13th
naval district statement Issued
late yesterday, which pointed
out, however, that American
Canadian patrols remain vigi
lant and active.
Merchant vessel traffic has
for the time being returned to
normal, the statement said, alter
a "rather ineffective submarine
campaign off the Pacific coast
by enemy undersea craft. v
"In the Puget sound areas.
British Columbia waters and
off the Columbia river a con
tinuous patrol by inshore and
offshore surface craft and air
craft was and is being main
tained by the navy."
Presence of enemy surface
craft in the vicinity of the
Aleutians on December 31 was
indicated. "Merchant vessels In
Alaska waters were warned into
the nearest ports on Decem
ber 29 due to suspected presence
of Jap vessels," the statement
said.
Civilian reports that the
bodies of Japanese flyers have
been washed upon the Oregon
coast were proven unfounded,
the bulletin said in discounting
the accuracy of such rumors.

Time Factor Eyed
Now assured that construction
had been authorized, the public
today became curious about
how soon work will start and
how building of the camp will
be handled.
It was planned originally to
let the Job to a private contrac
tor through competitive bidding.
While army officers are no
longer permitted to discuss mili
tary subjects publicly without
specific authorization, there ap
peared to civilian observers to
be no change yet in this proce
dure. It was Indicated yesterday
In an authorized statement from
the area engineer's office hera
that the bidding procedure was
still to be followed. .
It was pointed out by civilian
observers, however, that there
was nothing to stop the army
from changing its plans to meet
changing situations. Hence, it
was said, to save time a negoti
ated contract might be the meth
od followed, this procedure elim
inating the necessity of adver
tising for bids and waiting for
certain designated time to elapse
before opening bids.
Ordinarily 20 days would
elapse between the calling of
bids and the awarding of a con
tract so that in all month
would expire before construc
tion could start after the call.
A negotiated contract could re
duce this time.
Whatever procedure is follow
ed, civilians familiar with the
subject felt certain that the can
tonment would be built by pri
vate firms under the supervision
of the U. S. engineers and not
constructed by the army itself.
