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.

At Roseburg 10, Ashland 43.
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.

PLAYOFF CONTEST

Los Angeles, Jan. 14. (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.
Hogan, using a golf shot in
stead of a slingshot, felled the
California giant with a birdie
four on the last green a birdie
that brought peace and calm to
thousands of nervous dollars
wagered on the little Hershey.

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
