Sport Graphs o Billy Huhn Says: Medford Stands At Crossroads In Casaba Race Alter thii week-end local basketball pecam will have a pretty good Idea of whether Medford Is destined to seriously challenge the high-flying Ash landers for the district 4 title, or whether Russ Acheson's peo ple are to let the Grizzlies walk off with the pennant without a tooth-and-nail battle. Roseburg's Indians, defending champs, will be here Friday night to tackle the Tigers, and the Grants Pass Cavemen are slated to make their first local appearance of the season Sat urday evening. The Bengals practically MUST maul the two invaders in order to stay within shouting distance of Jerry Gas tineau's crowd. As the race now stands, Ash land la out front with four win and no defeats, with Medford and Roseburg in second place with one and one and Grants Pass bringing up the real with none and four. If the Tigers can whip Koseburg and Grants Pais, thus boosting thtlr won-and-lost record to three and one they will maintain their posi tion on Ashland's hsels. How r. If the Bengals should drop both these week-end skirmishes, or manage only to divide the pair, they will slip into desperate circum stances, so far as catching the Grisslles are concerned. Both games may be tough, and probably will be. Although the Jim Davis Indians have only one returning regular from last season's title crew, Center Ed Hughes, they appear to be coming along rather rapidly and Improving as the season pro gresses. Their last start resulted In a 24 to 20 conquest of Grants Pass, after they had been clawed badly by the Grizzlies. Wimberley and Stephens man the forward posts and Johnny Ness and Cummlngs take care of the guard positions. Ness and Hughes are the club's leading point-makers. The team, thank goodness, hasn't that -terrific height of 1940-41, but Is fairly fast and has spirit. As for the Cavemen, Med ford 's Saturday night enemies, they MIGHT be ready to win a game after four consecutive setbacks. Ashland didn't have an easy time of it Tuesday night, beating the Grants Pass ers by only a 34 to 30 score. This indicates that Mr Ber nard's quintet Is not to be re garded lightly. And remember, Grants Pass, for some unac countable reason, always proves tougher for Medford IN Med ford than In Grants Pass. Thus far the race has been dominated by Ashland's veter ans, and it may be the same right up to the end. Maybr nobody will beat Ashland, may be they'll simply coast in. We are not predicting Ash land will be beaten out for the title, for we never have thought that and do not at the present. But, this corner DOES nurse the opinion that Ashlsnd will be defeated at Watt twice before the tape la reached. We think Medford will win at least one of its three remaining tilts with the Grisslles. and that Ashland will drop another somewhere along the way.

(JP) Its major championships shelved by the war, the United States Golf association went to work today on a tournament designed to furnish competition for many golfers, entertainment for many fans, and relief for many of the conflict's innocent victims. The tournament will be named tile "Hale America" open. It will be 72 holes of medal play, staged on a Chicago course June 18-21 the dates originally set for the national open at Minneapolis. Earlier this month, the U. S G. A. called off the open, as well as the national amateur, the women s amateur and the na tional public links tourney, in order to focus its attention on the nation's war effort. See "Largest Entry" Preliminary plans for the "Hale America" event call for a series of district and sectional qualifying tests, dividing the nation-wide program Into three stages which may touch 70 or more cities. Secretary Joe Dey of the U. S. G. A. said the setup would be the broadest ever undertaken by his organization and was expected to attract the largest entry list ever compiled for a nation-wide competition. Not only will the tournament and its qualifying elimination? raise money for war relief, but the whole show is planned to further the physical fitness pro gram sponsored by the office of civilian defense. IN 'FRISCO OPEN San Francisco, Jan, 22. W) The $3,000 San Francisco 72 hole open golf tournament got under way today with 150 of the nation's touring teemen ready to start firing, and Byron Nelson of Toledo, Ohio, conced euly the man to beat. i ine urge Item win shoot 18 hcles daily until the final round is played Sunday. Play Is on the up and down hill course of the California Golf club. Nelson was rated a favorit' because of his brilliant perform ance in winning the top money in the Oakland open. Golfers agreed, too, that the California club course with Its heavy bor ders of trees, Is made to order for the Ohio iron shot special ist's game. Nelson, In practice has regularly cracked its 36 3d 72 par. zlies seemed to have the race riveted until Grants Pass pulled an upset and whipped the Llth inns, and Medford followed suit We are not saying Ashland will LOSE the chase this year, only that the leaders will taste the bitter dregs of defeat before the season ends. Medford might even do it twice, on the local floor. THOSE i. THE KJVOIT, ASK FOR BOTTI.rn-W.BOD A Truly Crmt AMONG AMERICA'S GREAT Wlll'klFS National DiMflten Products Corp, N. V. is?

SCHAEFER, 50-23 By Arnold Derlltzkl Chicago, Jan. 22 (JP) Chalk up another record for Willie Hoppe, the man whose name has been synonymous with bil liards for more than 40 years. And if running up a 27-0 lead last night before his opponent could score is an omen of things to come, chalk up another world three-cushion title Hoppes third In a row. Since the tournament is sched uled to close tomorrow night, many things might have led to his record achievement against the veteran Jake Schaefer last night. Maybe he grew weary of sharing the tournament lead right down to the finish. Maybe his book on billiards (they're being sold at the door) needed a sales boost. Maybe he was Just sharp a champion in form, or as Schaefer explained, "hot as hell." Anyway, the 33-year-old Hoppe stunned Schaefer and spectators alike by forcing an intermission call in 14 innings. He got the required 25 points in that time despite three blank frames. Schaefer, runner up to Hoppe In the last two tourna ments, meantime had none, had only two good shots In fact, so j safe did Hoppe leave the ivories The first inning after the In tcrmlssion Hoppe made It 27. Schaefer finally clicked in the same frame and played on vir tually even terms the last half of the match, which went 41 innings before Hoppe clinched the decision, 50 to 23. The victory also was good for the undisputed lead when Joe Chamaro of Mexico City bowed to Wclker Cochran. Forced to quit playing Tuesday because of a stomach ailment, Cochran came back "feeling fine," and showed it In stopping Chamaco, 30 to 35 In 39 Innings. YANKS TO SUCK 10 DAY BASEBALL New York. Jan. 22 There will be no night baseball for the world champion Yankees In New York, although it would be easy for the Bronx bombers to step across the Harlem rivei to the Polo Grounds, lllumi nated home of the Giants. "We will play no night base ball In New York," President Ed Barrow of the Yanks de clared In commenting on a sug gestlon that his team follow a proposed plan of the Chicago I Cubs to play night games at the White Sox' park. "We are. cf course, willing to play two games at all other American league parks with lights." Skilsaw U-lnch ELECTRIC DRILL Jaeob Chuck 22.40 IIAKSEfl 35 N.

(JP) Ray Turner, veteran Idaho center, has a good chance to break the northern division. Pacific Coast conference basketball scoring record set in 1938 by Laddie Chle of Oregon who scored 191 points in a 18 game schedule against OSC. WSC, Idaho and Washington. Turner, according to unoffi cial statistics, has scored 41 points in three games for an average -of 13.7 points per game as against Gale's 1938 average of 11.9 points per contest. But Bobby Lindh of Washing ton, who has played twice the number of games as Turner, ts the current scoring leader of the division with 53 points. Other statistical leaders are: Lew Beck of OSC and Gall Bishop of WSC lead in field goals with 19 each. Lindh paces the free throwers with 25. Dou Ford, sophomore Husky from Washington, has the best free Ihrow average with .889, and Turner the worst gift-shot per centage with .412. Chuck Gilmur of Washington leads in number of persona, fouls with 16. but Paul Jackson of Oregon and John Mandie of OSC have the highest fouling averaue 2.7 per game.

Br Sid reder New York. Jan. 32. A fellow who would be inclined to look lightly upon the stunt of an army bomber making three-point landing on the tower of the Empire State building. pointed to Joe Louis today as probably the greatest fighter who ever lived. This overcautious Individual is none other than your old pal Gene Joseph Tunney, who re tired undefeated as heavyweight champion, who took long count in Chicago one night that they said gave him all the best of it, and who looked on the dynamite of Dempsey without blinking an eye. The occasion for his sudden discovery of Louis a pretty fair country beak-buster, after seven years of varying degrees of pooh-poohing the Brown Bomber, came last night at the annual dinner of the Boxing Writers' association of New York. At this clambake, Louis, decked out in the appropriate costume for peeling potatoes or standing guard or whatever else they hand out to buck privates, received not only the Edward J. Nell memorial plaque as the man who did the most for box ing in 1941. but also the Ring Magazine merit award as the fighter of the year. Trophy For Gen What is more remarkable about Gene Joseph's song of praise was that Jene Joseph him self was among the reward receivers. He got special trophy from the boxing writers for his services as head man of the navy's fistic follies collec tion. "I saw Joe beat Buddy Baer down in less than a round a week ago last Friday," explain ed Tunney, who has been more or less snickering at the Bomber ever since he came down the pike back In '35. "It was the greatest exhibition of human de struction I have ever seen. "Joe la probably the greatest and most complete workman the ring has ever seen. The only other fighter in all ring history who might have done his job as well was Bob Fitzsimmons, and I never saw him. I'm going only by what they tell me." Gene Joseph passed on his delayed pat on the back in the presence of such ear-scrambling operators as Jack Dempsey and Jim Braddock, but it's doubtful if Louis got more of a kick out of Tunney's speech than he did out of the wire from Lieut. Col. Howard Brennizer of Camp Up ton, where Louis Is stationed. This wire, voicing the colonel's regrets for being among the missing, also pointed out that Joe is "developing into as fine a soldier as he was a boxer and a gentleman." "Well," Joe said, "I always thought I'd never feel as good again as the night I won the heavyweight championship. But tonight tops 'em all. I've never felt this good." Seattle, Jan. 22.
