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.
Last year, remember, the Grlz

'HALE AMERICA'
OPEN TO FOLLOW
SECTIONAL TESTS
Money Raised To Go for War
Relief 72 Hole Finals
Are Slated For Chicago.
By Austin Bealmear
New York, Jan. 22. (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.

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."

BEST IN HISTORY
BY GENETUNNEY
Ex-Champ Praises Bomber
At Boxing Writers Dinner
Receives Other Honors.
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."
