Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Lillard Plans Early Return Of Local Wrestling Beavers Soar to Loop Pinnacle on 45-35 Husky Defeat Mack Lillard was in town yes terday with the good news for wrestling fans that he planned to start grapple operations in the armory along about the lat ter part of next month or the first of March. The promoter, currently lo cated in Klamath Falls where ha Is connected with the dis trict attorney's office as a spec ial investigator, said he had made arrangements to use the armory for his gladiator extrav aganzas as scon as the canton ment architects move from there to the administration building being constructed at the camp site. It was the influx of these architects and draftsmen, re member, that caused Lillard and his pachyderms to vacate sev eral months ago. Since then there has been no wrestling In town, and Lillard's statement that it will be resumed in the near future will be hailed with joy by local lovers of the mat game. Whan wrestling does get under way again htre it will be with real heavyweights, with the big boys who weigh from 200 pounds on up to astronomical heft figures. Mack explained he had made plans to get the giant fellows now operating in Ban Fran cisco and Portland, offering them two nights in a row in Klamath Falls and Medford. Later, when the cantonment la constructed and the troops are brought in, Lillard believes ' he will be able to stage boxing cards, perhaps once week. Mack attempted to break away from wrestling and pro mote mitt shows in Klamath Falls, ' but it just didn't work out despite very fine publicity and good bcuts at first. He had about 40 fighters of his own In Klamath county and for time the cards drew well. Then, the young punchers start ed to Join the army or navy, the draft caught others and some went away to college, leaving Lillard with nothing much to effer the fans in the way of capable talent. His big gest drawing card, Urgel Snapp, enrolled at the University of Idaho and that Just about put the business on the rocks. Crowds started to get smaller and smaller because of the lack of good fighters, and finally Mack buttoned it up and de voted his entire time to his Job with the Klamath county dis trict attorney. Now, however, with the Mtdford cantonment certain, Lillard is not only going to resume cpcratlons htre. but In Klamath Falls, also. Jan uary 27 will be the first wrestling card in Klamath Falls In over three months, and the promoter believes the heavyweights will pack 'em in. a southpaw to make the role more authentic . . .

UP) Besides field goals, an even break on their Willamette val ley invasion and a return to first place in northern division Pacific Coast conference basket- hall standings will be the goal of the University of Washington Huskies tonight. In order to achieve the double objective, however, the Huskies will have to do better against the highly touted, veteran Ore gon State quintet which took a 45 to 3S victory here last night. The cautious but eagle-eyed Beavers took over the division lead with two wins and one defeat, compared to three wins and two losses for Washington Tonight's outcome will deter mine whether the Beavers tight rn their hold on first place or yield it again to Washington. Shooting Good Leading 28-19 at the half as a result of a five-minute scoring spurt, the Beavers resorted to a conservative game, retaining control of the ball most of the time and scoring a large per centage of their shots while their modified zone defense had Washington firing at random with uncanny inaccuracy. No more than two point separated the teams during the nrst is minutes. In the closing minutes of the half, big John Mandic, star Beaver center, and forward Sam Dement boosted the margin by nine points. -ne Huskies once managed to close In at 33-29, but could get no closer in the second period. Dement'a IS points were high while Dcug Ford led the Huskies with nine. The Beavers eot 17 f'eld gojls In only 40 attempts while Washington connected with only 10 out of 74 shots.

V'arren, c Mulder, g Gilbertson, c Coast Colleges to Increase Wartime Athletic Programs By Russell Newland San Francisco, Jan. 20 Iff") Expansion, rather than cur tailment, of college athletics la the present war time program of schools on the Pacific slope, a declared danger zone already vitally affected by blackouts, air raid alarms and military alertness. The picture may change by I next football season but at this . wit m time the emphasis is on in- 1 11166 llcD lOr I0D creased sports activities, espec-' B'll' J Hi ially in an Intramural sense. I III DllllSluS M66IS bprlng and early summer in- Ia7!H! u ui' tercollegiate schedules, arranged flllllB slOppe iTIIlS aooui ine time tne japs were setting fire to the Pacific, will be carried out, barring new emergencies. Physical fitness is the keynote and the military services regarded It on the basis of the more the better. The University of California Is considering returning to com pulsory physical education. An other suggestion la to retain the voluntary program but encour age It by increasing credits for participation. The entire sports program will be carried through, at least to the May 31 budget ' set-up. and the future depends entirely on the 1942 football receipts Some 3,000 students engage in intramural sports and approxi mately 1.600 athletes are in in tercollegiate competition during the school year. The University of Southern California's trend is toward in creased minor sports activity and a mass physical education program. The University of Cal ifornia at Los Angeles is pro ceeding along similar lines as are Washington State college and the University of Idaho. Football Coach Edwin "Babe" Horrell of U.C.L.A., looks for a huge spring turnout in keep ing with army and navy recom mendations of the sport as a developer of contact fitness. Idaho track coach Mike Ryan has a standing invitation to all men, athletes or not, to work out with the track and field teams there. The Universities of Washing ton and Oregon and Oregon State college, Rose Bowl foot ball champion, contemplate no changes. There is a possibility Oregon State will make phys ical education a compulsory four-year course. Totals. 10 13 17 35 Halftime score: Orecnn Stni 28, Washington 19. Missed free throws: Lindh 2. Leask.

HORNSBY ELECTED TO HALL OF FAME; GETS 182 VOTES By Judson Bailey New York, Jan. 20 IP) The fabulous baseball career of Rogers Hornsby, the greatest right-handed hitter of all time, carried him Into the hall of fame today. The "Rajah," who performed for five different clubs and managed four of them in a 23 year span in the majors, who batted over .400 in three seas ons and twice was named the most valuable player in the National league, who earned perhaps half a million dollars from baseball and lost most of it, received 182 votes out of 233 cast by baseball writers. As a result a bronze plaque, bearing his dimple-cheeked like ness, will soon be placed along side those of baseball's other immortal s Cobb, Wagner. Ruth, Matthewson and the rest in the little shrine at Coopers town. N. Y. Hornsby, who will be 46 In April, now is the general man ager and bench pilot of Fort Worth in the Texas league. He Is a Jovial, grey-haired minor league executive. But in days that a vast majority of the base ball fans can still remember he was a bright comet shooting an unpredictable course across sport's horizon. --, n.u.i,...g., ; mr rtr-.y I ; a- fvl -tT r . -; P v f -J ' ing In procuring Jobs In industry.
