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.
Because of the automobile
and tire rationing, Lou Sauer,
1941 Crater manager, fears
the Oregon State league won't
be in operation the coming
season . . due to financial
reasons, the State league
clubs do all their traveling by
private auto and Lou Is of the
op.iiioa tnat by summer the
baseball teams will have pull
ed In their belts to the extent
of not making those long road
trips ...
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

Coral Gables, Fla. Jan. 16.
(P) Francisco Segura, promis
ing young Ecuadorean star, wa"s

final match against Billy Tal
bert of Cincinnati in the Uni
versity of Miami tennis tourna
ment. Idle yesterday while Talbert
advanced with an 8-6, 6-0 vic
tory over George Parks, Miami,
Segura was expected to have
little trouble In moving on to
ward the semi-finals.

FOR RETURN TILT
Undisputed District Leader
ship At Stake In Ashland
Game Tigers Ready.
Games This Week-End
Tonight Medford at Ashland,
Grants Pass at Roseburg.
Saturday night Marshfleld
at Medford (non-dlstrlct).
Undisputed first place in the
district 4 basketball race will be
at stake tonight when Medford's
Tigers Invade Ashland to ex
change field goals with the fa
vored Grizzlies in the Ashland
junior high gym. 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.

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.
Although the Huskies were
the sensation of pre-season
games in the east and took two
straight from Idaho last week
end, it is still a mute question
whether Washington can dump
Oregon. The Webfeet split their
series with a powerful Wash
ington State squad.
With a one-day rest after the
Oregon series, the Huskies will
tangle with Oregon State at
Corvallis Monday and Tuesday

New York, Jan. 16. (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.
The local Juniors will open
the game with Plaskett and
Bruegger at the forwards, Stacy
at center and Weatherford and
Fawcett at the guards.
In their first game, the Bull
dogs dropped a one-point de
cision to the Ashland Juniors,
so will be attempting to break
into the win column tonight.
