Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1942. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: : Curtailment Due For Some Phases Of Prep Sports Pacific coast college" are not only NOT planning to curtail their athletic programs because of the war, they are arranging to expand their activitlei in every branch of sport, major and minor. The reason? Because physical fitness in the nation's youth is a vital issue during these times, because the military services are of the opinion that the more athletics are stressed the health ier will be our future fighting men. Rightly so. Thus, it appears that our par ticipation In the world conflict will have little, if any, effect on football, basketball, baseball, track, tennis, wrestling, boxing, swimming and other minor sports In the colleges and uni versities. But, how Bbout athletics in the high schools? Will the prep pers be able to continue with their present programs, or will they be forced to tighten their belts and retrench? In the opinion of Leonard B. Mayfield of Bedford high, high schools will definitely be forced to curtail their athletic pro grams, principally because of the tira rationing and discontin uance of the manufacture of new automobiles. ' "All unnecessary Interscho lastlc competition such as practice games and long Inter sectional trips will be elimin ated. I believe." Maylleld said. "Not so much In foot ' ball, where most teams travel In stages, but in basketball, , tennis, track and othtr sports where the teams travel In pri vate cars." Medford is going right ahead with Its 1942 football scheduling and Is negotiating with The Dalles for a- game here, the principal stated. However, he said that next season's basket ball slate would undoubtedly be minus barnstorming trips for Medford and Interactional tilts here with school located at con siderable dUtiw.- ; "I feel we will be able to con tinue the necessary games, those In the district and conference, but it's a different story with pre-season practice and Inter sectional contests," he empha sized, "Those games, along with 'B' team games, will be strictly limited If not entirely eliminat ed. Already we have cut down on 'B' squad games." The big colleges and universi ties, Mayfield pointed out, can afford to send their athletic teams by train or stage to dis tant points, and thus won't be effected by the rationing of tires. With the high schools it's differ ent. The prepprs travel mainly in private cars many high schools even provide that sort of transportation for large football squads and with tires no long er available the teams will be forced onto the stages or trains, or stay at home. Probably the latter, for high school -athletics, especially basketball, track, ten nis, etc., aren't noted for their money-making propensities. In the light of this informa tion from Maylltld, we can see next year's basketball Tigers not making a two-game foray to Coos Bay like they did this season, nor Corvallls, Salem and Marthfleld being slated for tilts here. Games such as these, while Interest ing, are not "necessary", and E. A. Crockett & Co., Liquidator, of Seattle, Wash., will liquidate the Entire Stock and fixtures of 23 Years III Q I f II f" 312 E.

All in all, despite the fact that I some phases of prep athletics are due for curtailment, it looks like the high schools are going to do their part in providing spectator and morale-helping sports for the populace.
