Billy Hulen Says:
Cantonment Will
Boom Attendance '
For Local Sports
Proiperouf days ere evidently
Just around that well-known
corner for every local aport
from professional wrestling to
duck-Din bowling.
From a financial standpoint,
never hai the tporta future of
this community appeared so
brleht -
The reason, of course. Is the
coming of the army cantonment,
with its some 3S.R00 soldiers,
plus the hefty lnceaae in the
civilian population the army
camp will be responsible for.
During the construction per
iod thousands of workmen will
be receiving fat pay checks, a
portion of which will be spent
on amusements of all kinds. Lo
cal sports enterprises will get
their share.
After the cantonment Is
completed and the fighting
men have taken over, there
will be so decrease In turn-
; stile activity. Soldiers like
amusement too, and when
they come to town they'll
flood any and all places
where It can be found.

Promoter Mack Lillard, plan
ning to bring wrestling back to
the armory in about a month.
Is understandlngly optimistic
when he talks of what the mat
cards should draw in the way
of patronage.
He is so certain the gladiators
will pull the customers In large
numbers that he's already
working out plans to increase
the seating capacity of the Bart
lett street maulery. And he's
even toying with the Idea of
adding a weekly boxing show
to his repertoire.
Lillard and his wrestling
won't be alone In receiving the
shot in the arm the cantonment
will provide. Every sport in the
city will benefit.
High school sports, principal
ly football and basketball, will
undoubtedly gain many new
patrons. Perhaps not so much
from the army camp. Itself, as
from the thousands of civilians
expected to move Into Medford.
It will be the same with base
ball. The Craters should enjoy
their most successful season,
from the treasurer's point of
view, and we look to see a lot
of those bonds retired before
next autumn rolls around.
The Medford Ice Arena,
which reportedly has been do
ing just fair, will come In for
Its share of the new business.
As a matter of fact, this con
cern will probably feel the
soothing effect of Increased rev
enue more than any other local
sports deal. The soldiers are ex
pected to really go for ice skat
ing. Bight down the sports line
the future looks awfully good.
Earl Sims and his bowling
alley will be swamped, or
we're mistaken. The Rogue
Valley and the public golf
courses will get plenty of
play. The annual Medford
rodeo should make more
money then ever before and
even the catfish derby will be
run off before the largest
crowd In Its history.
The cantonment, of course,
will have athletic facilities and
games of its own to provide
recreation and amusement for
the soldiers. But that won't
keep the troops from patronis
ing local sports enterprises
when they come to town. It
might. In fact, help Medford
sports by converting Into fans
many young men whose inter
ests In the past hsd been point
ed in other directions.
How long this expected cantonment-induced
sports boom
will last, nobody can say. But
for a time, anyway, the lush
days will be here again.

Medford high school basket
ball players have got to get In
there and pitch tonight and to
morrow or they'll be practically
out of the conference running
for the year of our Lord 1942.
And the foes for the week-end
conference frays are pretty
tough opposition.
Tonight in the Medford senior
high school gymnasium, the Tig
ers will tangle with Roseburg
and tomorrow night with Grants
Pass. Medford hasn't played
Roseburg yet this season. The
Tigers, however, have beaten
Grants Pass by 7 points and
Roseburg has beaten Grants
Pass by 4 points; so you can see
how tough the playing for the
next two nights is going to be.
Incidentally Russ Achesnn,
Medford coach, is hoping the
warming up of conference play
will bring out enough fans to
make things Interesting. Thus
far the Tigers haven't taken In
enough to meet expenses. But
Russ hopes that as the play gets
hotter, the fans will too.
Sophs In Prelim
In the preliminary gamo to
night Medford Sophomores will
meet Butte Falls high school
varsity. In the preliminary to
morrow night the Sophs of Med
ford and Grants Pass will clash.
The preliminary games will
start promptly at 7:30 each night
and the varsity games will fol
low immediately afterward. Of
ficials for the two nights will
be Parker' Hess and Prank
O'Nell, both of Ashland.
Starting line-up for the Tigers
tonight will be Bill Wall at cen
ter, Henry Herman and Oarrel
Montelth at forward and Lee
Reynolds and Don Fawcett at
guard. -
If Medford cops both games,
the Tigers will still be In the
running with the conference
leading Ashland Grizzlies. If the
Tigers lose, they'll be practically
washed up. Roseburg plays Ash
land In Ashland tomorrow night.
COCHRAN CHANCE
TO DEFEAT HOPPE
'Chicago, Jan. 23. (If) If It
weren't for Jake Schaefer, Wei
ker Cochran could have ended
Willie Hoppe's two-year relan
as king of three-cushion bil
liards by beating the champ tonight
But all because of Jake.
Cochran must down Hoppe not
once but twice straight to
wrench away his crown.
Cochran s defeat by Schaefer
last night prevented the San
Francisco artist from maintain
ing a tie for first with the de
fending titlist. In which case to
night s Cochran-Hoppe match
would have meant the crown
for the winner.
Because of the Cleveland
player's upset triumph, Hoppe
can retain his championship by
a victory tonight while the best
Cochran can do by winning will
be to tie Willie in the final
standings, forcing a playoff
Monday.
Schaefer, runner-up to Hoppe
in 1940 and 1941. raced away
from Cochran at the start and
after 25 Innings was in front
29-15. The final margin, reach
ed In 37 Innings, was 50 to 28.
In the afternoon Cochran had
made one of the great rallies
ot billiard history to trounce
Otto Relselt of Philadelphia. 80
to 45, in 73 Innings. It was a
resumption of a contest broken

Jacob (Buddy) Baer has charged
in Monmouth county common
pleas court that he was crip
pled as a boxer, perhaps per
manently, in an automobile ac
cident which preceded his dis
astrous bout with Joe Louis Jan
uary 9.
Howard A. Lawn of Red
Bank, counsel for Baer, said to
day that the suit had been de
layed until after the fight
rather than jeopardize attend
ance. Baer was knocked out in
the first round of the navy re
lief fund benefit show at Madi
son Square Garden.
The bill of complaint nam
ing Wellington H. Wllkins, Jr..
and Wllma H. Wllkins of Tin

OP) Texas born Benny Hogan,
setting a pace comparable to a
jackrabbit in his native state.
was out In front today as the
field teed off in the second
round of the 72-hole San Fran
cisco open golf tournament.
The 137-pound dynamiter lead
ing pro golfer of the country the
last two years and winner of
the recent Los Angeles open for
a flying 1943 start, knocked par
dizzy yesterday with first
round 66.
Seven Under Par
It lopped seven strokes 'off
standard figures for the Cali
fornia club course. Par for the
6,320-yard, heavily-wooded lay
out la a pair of 36s. Hogan
toyed with it to the tune of
32-33.
The round would have been
sensational In any circum
stances. But the Hershcy, Perm.,
entry compiled his score under
adverse conditions. Fairways
were soft and In some spots deep
In mud. Water stood on many
greens.
He bit such long tee shots
and woods that his ball was on
the edge of all four of the par 8
holes. Each time he chipped up
for putts ot not more than three
feet. Seven birdies were on the
card. Low scores are not exact
ly new to slender Benny He
had 62 In the Oakland open last
year.
Cooper Second
As the leader, Hogan enjoyed
a three-shot advantage over his
closest rival starting today's
second round. Veteran Harry
Cooper of Minneapolis came
nome with a 33-3568. An
other old-timer, Horton Smith,
of Plnehurst K. C, crowded
Cooper with $8-14 69.

UNBEATEN J1LE
TO INVADE CP. IN
B LEAGUEBATTLE
Clash Will Wind Up First
Half of Schedule For
Western Section Players.
With most of the dope giving
them the edge, the undefeated
loop leading Jacksonville high
maple courtsters go to Central
Point tonight determined to con
tinue their string of southern
Oregon class "B" league con
quests. The clash winds up half the
schedule for the teams in the
western sector's double round
robin. The preliminary la set for
7 o'clock.
Offense of the Redskins may
be the deciding factor In the
tussle. Both teams have man
aged to hold down scoring by
conierence opposition. However,
Jacksonville's winning margins
have been wider. The Redskins'
40-12 triumph over Phoenix
compared to the Pointers' 23-18
decision is an example.
Improvement shown by the
second place Pointers in the last
two weeks, nevertheless, may
offset statistics and ensure a
ciose contest Central Point pro
gressing both offensively and
defensively, displayed remark
able comeback ability in the last
two games.
Fifth-round games in the
Southern Oregon class B high
school basketball conference are
scheduled to be played tonight,
six quints In the northern divis
ion seeing action and the same
number in the western sector
toeing the mark.
Northern division contests will
find St Mary's of Medford at
Eagle Point Butte Falls at Tal
ent and Prospect at Sams Valley.
In western tilts, Jacksonville)
will travel to Central Point
Kerby will entertain Gold Hill
and Rogue River will face Phoe
nix at Phoenix.
