Little Sons Sub for Salem Against Tiger Cagers Tonight Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Slim Chance Prep Coach Will Get Washington Job TWO TILTS OPEN1 ' Despite the fact that almost never does a high school foot ball coach make the gigantic jump into a bead mentoring post at a major college or uni versity, without first serving as freshman or assistant tutor, some observers are inclined to think the University of Wash ington MIGHT dip into prep ranks for the successor of Jimmy Phelan, recently pink-slipped out of his job. The feeling persists In the state of Washington, however, that the Huskies will not hire a high school coach, according to Fred Hampson of the Asso ciated Press. Hampson reports a rumor that "Leon Brighara, Seattle prep wonder-coach and Elmer Hugta. topnotch upstate tutor from Hoquiam, have Joined hands in stalking the Univer sity of Washington job. Each has bid himself in and each is said to hava agreed to hire the other as his subaltern should he get the job. Both men are popular, with big porsonal following! putting on the pressure, but the feeling persists Washington will not hire from high school ranks. To this day the Bagshaw ex-, periment is looked upon as unsuccessful by the waters of Lake Washington." Offhand, we can think of only one high school coach who leaped directly Into a head coaching position with one of the major colleges, and made good. He is Paul Brown, pres ent Ohio State mentor whose team finished second in the tough Western conference. It was Brown's first year in the big time, however, so the meas urement of his success must wait for a few more year.

Hugh Fullerton. Jr.. World Wide sports columnist, poses this interesting question. "Won der if anyone has thought of the possibility that war con ditions will help baseball and other spectator sports, instead of wrecking them . . . with no new cars and no tires to take folks out of town, they're likely to turn for amusement to the places they can reach easily the ball parks" . . , regattaIEd may be reduced New York, Jan. ;r The intercollegiate Rowing associa tion plans to stage the annual Poughkecpsie regatta this year, although the field may be re duced to five crews. The association's board of stewards, meeting here last night with leaders of eastern Intercollegiate athletics, has set June IS as a tentative date for the rowing classic. Capt. T. S. King of the U. S. naval academy, who was re elected chairman of the stew ards, said the board wanted to make sure observation trains could be obtained and work out other details before Inviting teams outside the association. Schools in the association are Navy, Pennsylvania, Columbia, Syracuse and Cornell. Last year'i race was won by Wash ington. SPEC KEENE TO SPEAK AT PILOT GRID FEED Portland, Jan. 9 (F) The principal speaker at the Univer sity of Portland's annual foot ball banquet next Thursday will be R. L. "Spec" Keene. Willam ette university football coach, John Gloden, banquet chairman, said today. E OF BAD WEATHER Road Conditions Force Up- staters To Call Off Trip Game Starts At 8:00. The Little Sons of Southern Oregon College of Education will clash with Medford high's Tigers here tonight, substituting at the 11th hour for the Salem high Vikings who were pre vented from coming here for a two-game series by terrible weather conditions In the Wil lamette valley. The game will start at 8 o'clock. There will be no preliminary, and no game Saturday night. Coach Harold Hauk of Salem telephoned Coach Russ Acheson of the Tigers this morning and explained that because of the dangerous condition of the Pa cific highway In the Willam ette valley, parent of the Vik ing players refused to let their boys travel to Medford in pri vate automobiles. He added that Salem couldn't afford to send the team by stage, and request ed the two games, slated for tonight and Saturday eve, be cancelled. Acheson, in a hurried search for an opponent for his team, contacted Jean Eberhart at S.O.C.E. and the latter mentor gladly agreed to send his fresh man squad to Medford. Ache son said the cancelled Salem games would not be played later in the season, as both schools have full schedules. Frosh Tough The Little Sons, composed of former high school stars from various parts of the state, are expected to provide plenty of stiff opposition for the locals. The collegians have broken even in two tilts with the Ash land high Grizzlies, and have defeated Grants Pass high. The Medford coach, saying his squad hasn't looked "any too sharp" in practice sessions this week, nominated Captain Henry Herman and Darrell Montelth to open at the for wards. Bill Wall at center and Don Fawcett, Lee Reynolds or R. B. Webber at the guards. The players are all in fine phys ical condition, Acheson said. Thus far this season the Tigers have beaten North Bend and dropped decisions to Marsh field and Corvallis. t T' ' - I'.C- h- I I A - .TOP AMATEU R Soon after Leslie MacMitchell, N.Y.TJ. mllrr, had won this trophy, being presented by Lsurrnce diRene dttlo, for his mile at Sugar Bowl track meet In New Orleans, Mac.VIitchell was announced as 1941 winner of the James E.

The Bull dogs will be playing their first season under Coach Norman (Norm) Worthley, who has taken Riney Cook's place. Coach Worthley announced ! the following boys would prob-. ably see action In tonight's ' game: Dick Fawcett, Bob Wat son, Charles Stacy, Ronald Weatherford, Bill Plaskett, Der rll Riggs, Dale Brurgger, Earl j Barnhart, Larry Hayes, and Louis Cox. The Bulldogs will play the following schedule: J Jan. 9 Ashland at Ashland. Jan. 18 Roseburg at Med ford. Jan. 20 Grants Pass at Med ford. Jan. 87 Gold Hill at Medford (Tent.) Jan. SO Roseburg at Rose burg. Feb. 13 Ashland at Medford. Feb. 24 Grants Pass at Grants Pass. By Qayle Talbot New York, Jan. 9 (P) Jacob (Buddy) Baer, having been guilty of knocking Cham pion Joe Louis clear out of the ring in Washington last spring, probably will pay for his sins, with interest, tonight In Madi son Square Garden. This time the towering Call fornlan faces a perfectly condi tioned, fight-keen Joe Louis, im patient to wipe out any stigma that might have attached to his victory over Baer last May, when Buddy was disqualified for refusing to come out for the seventh round. So impressive has the big negro beep In his workouts that the bookmakers are offering only 1-8 odds that he Is success ful In the 20th defense of his world title; 1-2 that he stops Baer inside the IS rounds. A good even bet is that Buddy can't wear as well as he did In Washington. A crowd of perhaps 20,000, unusually rich in ermine, social distinction and uniforms, is ex pected to wedge itself into the big arena and contribute more than $100,000 to the naval relief society. They have been lured into paying a top price of $30 by the cause, rather than by the prospect of seeing a great fight. Handicap 4 4 81ms. R. 173 Llttrell.

Observers who have seen Washington State play feel the Cougars are even stronger this year than last and are favored to take the Oregonians whose early season record has been only fair. Coach Jack Friel is expected to send Marv Gilberg, Al Akins, Gall Bishop, Capt. Kirk Gebert and Owen Hunt in at the start for the Cougars; Hobson has not named his start ing lineup. Huskies Liked The Seattle Huskies are fa vored to take the Idaho squad easily although Coach Hec Ed mundson insists his men are not at the peak they attained in the eastern tour which recently drew the attention of the1 na tion's sports fans when the Hus kies whirled through an unde feated road trip and hung up new scoring records at Madison Square Garden. Oregon State will take it easy tonight, opening its season Monday and Tuesday against the Cougars. ASHLAND , 'PASS IN LOOP OPENER Ashland, Jan. 9.

Dog Lives 25 Days Without Food, Waier Seattle. Wash. (U.B After spending 23 days trapped in an old well, Tuffy, a setter pup. was rescued by a searching party led by his mother. The frantic barking of the mother, Gypsy, led Frank Nich olson, owner of the dogs, to the well. From the depths he heard the weak answering whine of Tuffy. Neighbors immediately organ ired a rescue party, obtained long ladder, and brought the puppy to the surface.' Because Tuffy had been in the well for nearly a month without food or water, except for a little rain, he was exhausted and emaciated. His first meal, on the advice of veterinarians, consisted only of a little warm goat's milk. Tuffy was extremely fat at the time of his disappearance and this was credited with saving his life. Nicholson estimated that the little dog lost about a third of his body weight during the ordeal.
