PAOE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1942. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Poll By Esquire Shows Disfavor Of Center Jump , "Do you believe that restor ing the center-Jump, with the players rotating in the center ring like the baseball batting Order, would Improve basket baflt" This was one of the 10 Inter esting questions asked by Es quire of the nation's basketball coaches, sports writers and fans In its February sports poll, and the answer was a loud and def inite "no." Whereas the entire vote was 72.33 percent against restoration of the center-Jump In this man ner, the cage tutors themselves were even more emphatic. They voted 84.33 percent against It. Another highly-interesting question was this: "In what sport do you think there Is the most competent and honest of ficiating?" The answer: major league baseball, with 49 67 per cent of the total vote. College football was second with 22.98 percent, tennis next with 10.47 percent and track next with 3.83 percent. Twenty-six sports in all received nominations And, for goodness sakes, the basketball coaches rated the of ficlating In their own game In only 8.10 percent of their bal lota. Omlgoshl Although the public voted for the lifting of the freshman rule in college athletics during the war, S8.47 percent being In fa vor of four years of competition, the cage coaches were "agin' " It by 57.38 percent and the scribes felt the same way, by 83.12 percent. The balloUrs took rap at Mike Jacobs and his Manhat tan monopoly of champion ship boxing bouts, with 84.61 percent of tham believing in terest in boxing would be In creased If title bouts were not confined so exclusively to Gotham. Boxing also ran sec end to ski-jumping as a has. ardous sport. In the opinion of 68.01 percent ot the clti ens polled on the question as to which was the most dan gerous to hie and limb. The voters as a whole handed orchids to present-day golfers, 83.29 percent of them believing that Bobby Jones would not be the equal of leading pros of to day If he were still in compe tition. The basketball coaches, however, thought he would be, by 82.77 percent. A total of 62.88 percent of the voters registered "no" to the question: "Should the big leagues permit abusive personal language In the process of Jockeying' or rlding' an oppos ing player during the progress of the game, for the purpose of getting his goat." The minority voters, however, thought that If the "railing" were taken out of baseball the bleachers might as well be torn down. A majority of 59.90 percent agreed that participation In (porta was more fun than look ing on, 73.32 percent of those polled believed excessive com petition in sports tends to coarsen a woman's appearance, and a majority of 36.62 decided that natural ability Is more im portant in the development of an athlete than practice and coaching.

A spectacular 18 point scoring splurge by Darrell Monteith, Medford's left-handed forward, provided the principal offensive fire last night as the Tigers opened their campaign for the district 4 championship with a 34 to 27 conquest of the Grants Pass Cavemen at Grants Pass. The dark-haired Junior whip ped eight field goals through the hoop, six of them on one handers from the left corner, and had the remarkable shoot ing average of .615 on eight hits In 13 heaves. "Crucial" at Ashland By virtue of Medford's vic tory, next Friday night's clash between the Tigers and Ashland at Ashland will be for J.he un disputed district 4 leadership. The Grizzlies last night defeat ed Roseburg, 43 to 19, as Char He Jandreau scored 17 points and Bud Provost tallied 13. The Bengals got away to a slow start against the Cavemen and trailed by a 4 to 0 count after Lathrop and Gray scored on "sleepers in the first lour minutes of play. A few seconds later, however, Monteith canned two In a row and R. B. Webber tallied from the field to give the Tigers a 6 to 4 lead, and they were never behind thereafter. After Havard's field goal tied it at 6-6, Monteith hit again from the corner for an 8 to 8 first- quarter Medford bulge, and the Tigers gradually pulled away to lead at half-time, 17 to 13, and at the end of the third period, 28 to 17. Medford's longest lead was a 34 to 19 tally midway through the fourth quarter, but In the remaining minutes Everton, Lathrop, Havard and Smith each made field goals for the Cave men to reduce the margin to the final score of 34 to 27. Height Tells The game was bitterly fought, with much of Medford's success resulting from the fine back board play of Captain Henry Herman and Dale Niedermeyer, the lanky members of the Russ Acheson squad. They did a grand Job of controlling re bounds under both buckets. Don Fawcett, the diminutive, ball- hawking guard, was responsible for setting-up several smooth plays, besides scoring seven points. Lathrop was high for the los er with seven points. It wa a rather rough affair. 12 fouls being called on Medford and nine on Grants Pass, but nobody was ejected for four personate.

(JP) Championship golf still pays off to the man who can get 'em down when the chips are down. Little Benny Hogan proved this when he played the David to Jimmy Thomson's Goliath yesterday, cracking the husky California professional with one spectacular shot on the eight eenth green. That won the play off of the 17th annual Los Ange les open. Hogan ran Into tougher op position than many expected before squeezing out a one stroke triumph for the $3,500 first prize. He had a 36-3872 and Thomson, winner of the L. A. open in 1938, had a 38-3373.

( Baseball Hopes To Continue Despite War; Aid Pledged By Judson Bailey New York, Jan. 14. W In the critical day of 1918, when the famous "work or fight" edict came out of Wash ington, the baseball season was smothered out on Labor day. Yet a few weeks later, records show, the government Inform ed major league leader that this had not been Intended and that normal plans should be made for the sport In 1919. Unless some confusion of this sort crops up during this sec ond World war, baseball men hope to continue the nation's leading sport with as little dis ruption as possible. Baseball, they point out, 1 entertainment for million of American and It Is a livelihood for the many thousand of per sons who participate either as players or as club owners, man agers, stenographers, grounds keeper and ticket taker. A a business It will be called upon for the same sacrifices and hardships as other enterprises. Its personnel already Is being heavily tapped by the military services, lt equipment is sub ject to the same priorities that affect everyone else, and Its finances are in jeopardy because of the uncertainty of attend ance. Major league player who have gone Into the armed forces Include Hank Greenberg, Bob Feller, Cecil Travis, Buddy Lewis, Hugh Mulcahy and Sam Chapman. Other will be called before the aon (tart. In the opinion of William G. Bramham, president of the Na tional association, restrictions on tires represent a serious threat to minor league attendance. In the small cities most of the ball parks are on the edge of town trolley cars have been aban doned and bus service Is Inade quate for large crowds. The game undoubtedly will make contributions to the na tion's war effort as means be come apparent A fund already has been established for the pur chase of baseball equipment to be used at army and navy camps, and the proceeds of next summer's all star game will be added to this. Exhibitions will be played at army camps and against army teams. Uniformed MEMO TO ADVERTISERS , GIVE iw""r5? f A. 9. C.
