PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1942. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: One-Deep Eleven Is Forecast For Tornado In 1942 Tigers Invade Ashland Tonight for Crucial Encounter Rum Acheson took time off from talking basketball the other day to discuss briefly the 1942 Medford high football sit uation, as it appears to him at this time. 'The way it looks now I be lieve we will have a pretty good starting eleven, but will be handicapped by a lack of ex perienced reserves," said the fellow who moved up to fill Bill Bowerman's shoes wnen the lat ter was called to active army duty. Although five regular line men are- due to be graduated this spring and another, tackle Bud Mayfield, a Junior, has moved back to California and won't be available, Acheson fig ures the non-senior reserve for wards of the past season will take care of the advanced posts In good style. Stan Smith, tackle, is the lone regular line man slated to return. In the backiield. Cliff Jones, fullback, will be the only returning starter. But here, again, Acheson is of the opinion that reserves of last year will prove capable of moving Into posts vacated by Wray, Orr and Stead, all graduating, thus forming a fairly-potent quartet of first ' line attackers, though without experienced understudys. Will Acheson continue to use the T-formation? Yes, that's his plan now. And, will he keep on employing the Notre Dame box? Well, he isn't yet certain, and won't be until he gets a first-hand look at the calibre of material turning out next au tumn. "I've been thinking some of trying the Warner double wing," Russ said, "but that will depend on whether we have the proper backfield personnel. The same with the Notre Dame box. It will all depend on how the backs shape up when we start pre-season practice." Forrest (Skeet) O'Connell, former Ashland high coach whq shifted to Corvallis to handle basketball in 1940, has made another move ... he has resign ed to accept a position as head basketball coach at Yuba City, Cal., high school at a report- mA CAnn m vpar Inprnfltn nvpr the salary he was getting at Corvallis . . . Frank Ramsey, Corvallis grid mentor, will handle the Spartan cagera for the remainder of the season.

Medford's Bob Newland has been suffering from a throat in fection which kept him out of action for several weeks, but has now returned to the Uni versity of Oregon varsity bas ketball squad . . . Bob dropped from 167 to 145 pound., while fighting the ailment ... big league hockey players, accord ing to Denny Edne, draw an average of from $3,000 to $4,000 a year . . . players in such a loop as the Pacific Coast Hockey league, now defunct, drew down between $40 and $80 a week, said the manager of the Med ford Ice Arena. TO New York, Jan. 16. P) Some time between 10 and 11 o'clock tonight, Eastern Stand ard time, fearless Fritzie Zivic is going to find out whether it's chicken or feathers .from now on in his career of cauli flowering ears. No one knows better than the youngest of Pittsburgh's five flying Zlvics of sock that an other beating at the hands of Ray Robinson, Harlem's skinny hammer, in Madison Square Garden will Just about wash Fritzie up on the big time. And, since he has become quite found of steaks and se dans after his years on coffee-and-cakes and a peanut truck, Zivic has worked himself into shape to go the full 12 rounds against the Negro youngster who has been unbeaten in his 26 outings since he cashed in his A.A.U. card. SABIN CONTINUES TO SEMI-FINALS Coral Gables, Fla. Jan. 16. (P) Francisco Segura, promis ing young Ecuadorean star, wa"s slated today to return to the courts for action In a quarter final match against Billy Tal bert of Cincinnati in the Uni versity of Miami tennis tourna ment.

The game will start following a 7:15 o'clock preliminary between sophomore teams of the two locals. Saturday night, the Bengals will play a return engagement with Marshfleld high in the local gym. In their first meeting at Marshfield the Tigers walked off with a 48 to 26 victory. The game will follow a preliminary slated to start at 7:30. Coach Russ Acheson, whose Medford club has won three of five starts this season, plans to open the critical Ashland fracas with Captain Hank Herman and Darrell Monteith at the for wards, Bill Wall at center and Don Fawcctt and Lee Reynolds at the guards. Ashland Favored Jerry Gastineau's Grizzlies, odds-on favorites to capture the district crown and enter the state tournament, will have Charlie Jandreau and Bud Pro vost at the forwards, Rath at center and Riggs and Fowler at the guards. Acheson said the Tigers were all In fine shape for the game and that their ball-handling had improved since Tuesday night, when they defeated the Grants Pass Cavemen, 34 to 27. Ashland walloped the Cavemen, 33 to 11. Medford's biggest Job appear ed to be stopping Jandreau from running wild as he has done in Ashland's last three games. The Grizzly flash has tallied 51 points In his last three appear ances. The two teams are tied for first place In the district chase, Medford with one win and no losses and Ashland with two victories and no defeats. In another district game to night, twice-beaten Grants Pass will travel to Roseburg to face the once-defeated Indians, de fending champions. UNKNOWN UPSETS E, 50 TO 39 Chicago, Jan. 16. ) Wil lie Hoppe had a hunch he might lose a mutch in this year's world three-cushion b 1 1 1 a r d championship tournament. But he probably didn't suspect he was going to lose to Art Rubin. Neither did Art Rubin. Perhaps that was the story of the upset last night. Hoppe the champion, keyed against a stiff field of nine opponents, said be fore the meet opened that his game appeared good and he proved It by taking his first two matches. Art Rubin, the Brook lynlte, lost his first four, but when It was time to take his bumps from the champ he didn't bump. The score was SO to 39. OMLID FAMILY BROKEN UP BY WAR; 2 ENLIST Engene.

A third son, Erlir.g, has left Eugene to take a position in Portland. President Personally Urges National Game to Continue Washington, Jan. H. (IPt President Roosevelt, baseball fan from way back, urged today that the national sport be kept going during the war. This was his personal rather than official point of view, ex pressed In a letter tod'.y to Kenesaw Mountain Landls, base ball high commissioner, who had written on January 14 inquiring what the president had in mind regarding continuance of pro fessional baseball In wartime. Mr. Roosevelt pointed out that fewer people would be unemployed, that the neople would be working harder and longer hours than ever before, and hence should have an op portunity for recreation taking their minds off their work. He suggested, too, that there be more night games because they would give day workers a chance to see an occasional contest. Mr. Roosevelt said that 300 teams, using 3,000 to 6,000 play ers, would be a definite recrea tional asset to at least 20,000,000 people and In his ludgmnnt this was thoroughly worth-while. E FOR FOUR GAMES Seattle, Jan. 16. (JP) The University of Washington eager s, high on the crest of a 10-game winning streak, will trundle Into Eugene today for first of two attempts to break Oregon's traditional Jinx on the Huskies. The second game will be played tomorrow night.

(JP) i Golfdom, like other war-con- ; fused sports, doesn't know ex actly what it will or can do in 1942 but it does know exact ly what it is not going to do. It is not going to determine the national open, amateur pub lic links and women's cham pions although by sectional and invitational meets it hopes to surpass the estimated 63,406, 000 rounds played in 1941. i Despite the United States Golf association's action in call ing off its four major tourna-1 ments, the professional's group will decide its 1942 king some ; time this summer on a course still to be selected. Joe Dey, executive secretary of the amateur combine, says i the championships were not can celled because of any pressure 1 or lack of equipment. He ex-j plained the association's officers felt the title would be hollow j glory, with most of the better i shotmakers in the service or too busy with defense work. j ROSEBURG PLAYS ; TONIGHT Coach Norm Worthley's Med ford Junior high basketball team opens Its home season to night in the local Junior high gym against the Roseburg Jun iors. In a 7:30 preliminary, Coach Don McKenzie's eighth graders will face Oak Grove.
