PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1942. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Eberhart Claims Rostock Better Shot Than Hank Ernie Rostock, a ilender sharpshooter who does his bucket-blasting for the Eastern Oregon College of Education at LaGrande, is. the current scourge of the Oregon Intercol legiate conference. Some bas betball folks even claim he is the hotte thing to perform in either major or minor collegiate circles since Hank Lulsetti car ried Stanford to the pinnacle. ' When Rostock doesn't pro duce 29 points per evening, he is having an "off" night. Most of the time his personal point total hits the 30 level, and often it goes even higher. The boy, apparently, is good. , "I'll say Rostock is good," re marked Jean Eberhart yester day. "He's so good we feel we've stopped him when he's held to 15 points." : The lanky Southern Oregon College of Education athletic director, whose Sons quintet is leading the Oregon Intercol legiate conference with 10 straight victories, , actually be lieves Rostock is a better shot than Luisetti was. "Rostock, of course. Is not the all-around basketball player Lulsetti was at Stan ford," Jean explained, "but when It comes to pure shoot ing ability I think he has a better eye. "Lulsetti was great In every respect, dribbling, oall-handling. guarding, and was very, very tough under the baskets. Ros tock can't match Luisetti along those lines, but I really believe be is a better shot." Eberhart said the E.O.C.E. flash does most of his scoring while racing down the floor at top feed, casting off with either hand and from all angles. "Give him the least little opening and he's through It like lightning. Up drifts the ball and It's usual ly two points." Although Rostock has proved a terrific headache for his op position, he can be pretty thoroughly shackled. At least the Sons did It once, on Decem ber 13 at Ashland. In this game, won by the Sons, Eagle-Eye Ernie was held to three field goals and two free throws for eight points, by Joe Spayde, Sons guard. The previous night Ernie had accumulated 33 markers. How did Spayde take care of Ernie? Well, Eberhart told us, but as the Sons have two more games to play with E.O.C.E., the revelation of Spayde's and Eberhart's method at this time might be detrimental to the Sons' cause, so It'll have to wait until the season is over. Suffice It to say that Spayde will try it again February 9 and 10 at LaGrande. Incidentally, the Ashland college Is going at a torrid pace. In the Sons' 10 victor ious conference games they have averaged 54 points to their opponents' 37.4. with center Bob Mulder boasting a 13.2 point per-game average and Wes Davis following with 10.6 per contest. Bobby Hoefs. the ex-Butte Falls star, has averaged slightly ever i points per tilt. In the Sons' last four games, against Albany college and Mt. Angel, they had the remarkable shooting percentage of .371. That's really "batting" out the baskets. They'll try to keep It up against Oregon College of Education In Ashland next Fri day and Saturday nights.

Mayor Bernard Samuel announced today that a concrete and steel bomb proof vault will be built under Independence hall into which the famous bell can be lowered In an emer gency.

By Russell Newland San Francisco, Jan. 27 VP) Benny Hogan, the best golfer In the country for money, marbles or chalk the last two years. Is well on his way to making it three terms in a row. In the 1942 golfing gold rush, Benny the par-buster already has staked out two claims and made them pay. His latest feat was a mud-splattered victory in the San Francisco open. He won $1,000 first money with a nine-under-par 279. For 72 holes Hogan battled a soggy, slippery course to lead the way from start to finish. Less than three weeks before he won in the Los Angeles open, worth $3,500 plus an extra $1,000 from the play-off gate receipts with Jimmy Thomson. In between the wins, he picked up extra change In a two-way tie for second place in the Oakland tournament. His total winnings for the first three PGA-sanctloned tourneys IS ,779. Never Behind The Hogan method has paid dividends by walloping par to a frazzle. He let fly with a telling lead-off 32-33-65 In .the first round of the San Francisco open. It was seven under stand ard figures for the 3636-72 California club course. The rest of the clan couldn't catch him from then on. After the first round, the event was suspended for two days due to practically unplay able conditions. Returning to action, he fired a 71, and in yesterday's last two rounds posted 72 and 71 re spectively. Three strokes behind Hogan, charging like the Light Horse brigade, came Sam Snead. The Hot Springs, Vs., ball belter brought In two dazzllns rounds of 69-68 to take second money oi sou with a total 282. Lawson Little finished third with 284. He nosed out Dick Metz, In at 283. and the latter shaded three men at 286 Al Zimmerman of Portland. Ore.. and two Callfornlans. Lloyd mangrum ana Harry Bassler.

VP) Northern division Coast conference schools faced war-induced athletic personnel cuts, reduced oper ating budgets and greater economies it was agreed here yester day at a meeting of conference members, but It was deemed Inadvisable to waive the rule barring freshman participation in varsity athletics. Earl Foster, Washington State college graduate manager, said the athletic directors and grad uate managers of the six col leges and universities took no vote on the freshman rule waiver as the opinion appeared unanimous enough to make it unnecessary. Conferees pointed, however, to reduced revenues already felt by the schools and agreed that cuts in personnel and salaries are In prospect. Likely to feel the economy axe are school publications which will prob ably be reduced in size, number and frequency of publication, although It was agreed to con tinue them as long as possible. It was decided to continue the athletic schedule already laid out and. In addition, to place added emphasis on Intra mural athletics for health building. Besides Foster, other con ferees were Kirk Badgley and Doug Fessenden of Montana State university; George Greene and Gale Mix of the University of Idaho; Anson Cornell, Uni versity of Oregon; Percy Locey, Oregon State college, and Ray Eckmann and Carl Kilgore of the University of Washington.

T Lefty Larry French Sets Sights On 2C0 Major League Wins Los Angeles, Jan. 27. (AP Larry French, at 34 is one of the most prosperous major league ball players. But Larry Is ambitious to win 200 games in the big time, so he's going back for two or three seasons. The good-looking southpaw needs 18 victories to reach 200. He figures he can pick up 14 of them next season. He'll have to reverse his 1941 record to do that, but he's confident "My arm wasn't any too good last season," explained Larry. "But I've been taking regular treatments this winter and it feels fine now. I think I'm good for about 14 wins with the Dodgers this year. Inasmuch as I'm only 34 I ought to be able to pitch two or three more sea sons." ,. French did very little last sea son toward hitting that 200 mark. He won only five games while losing 14. But then, he was with the Chicago Cubs until late August and they didn't give him or any of their other flingers much help. Klamafhites Among Oregon Leaders in Bond Buying Pledge Portland.

THAILAND ENVOY HOPES TO FREE Pramoj Is Youngest, Latest One-Man Insurrection Writing Historic Paper. By John R. Ralchmann (Staff Correspondent) Washington, D. C. (U.PJThailand Minister Rajawongse Pramoj is the latest, youngest and slightest addition to the diplomatic corps' 'one-man insurrectionists," but he makes up in his enthusiasm for democracy what he lacks in size or years. 'He Issued his manifesto against the surrender of his country to the Japanese invader before the rums of Pearl Harbor had cooled. As soon as his gov ernment had capitulated, he an nounced he could no longer take crders from Bangkok His staff cheered him to the man and he slept better iat night. Now his legation, its doorway surmounted by the figure of Garuda half man, half bird and on omen of good fortune hums with activity as he prepares for history a paper destined to prove to the world that Thailand is a nation of free people, imbued with democracy, and hating the Japanese.
