Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUInE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1942. Sport Graphs o Billy llulen Says: Rubber And Gas Lack May Keep ' Craters From Loop The ban on sale of automobile tires, coupled with the new gov ernment order reducing gasoline deliveries in the northwest states by 20 per cent, have com blned to give birth to more talk that Medford'i Craters won't be awarded ar Oregon State Base- . ball league franchise this year Fred Lennard, business man ager of the Modford Athletic association, attended an adjourn ed State league meeting in Port land Sunday ani returned with the word that Silverton and Al bany, two Willamette valley club, were definately opposed to including Medford in this season's circuit. - Although no official action was taken at the meeting, which was adjourned soon after it started because of the failure of Bend and Albany to be represented. Lemiard learned that Silverton and Albany were unalterably against a franchise for the Cra ten due to the distance they would have to travel to Ihis part of the state. Eugene. Lennard said he understood, planned to follow along with Silverton and Albany in turning thumbs down on Medford at the final loop meeting in Eugpne March 29. Besides Medford, Klamath Falls Silverton and Eugene were represented. Klamath Falls wants to enter ajtaln. and re ports from Bond are to the effect that the central Oregon town wants to retain its franchise. Medford, faced by Albany-Sil verton-Eugene opposition, plans to enlist tne support of Klamath Falls and Bend in getting, not only Medford but Klamath Falls In the circuit, as well. The Willamette valley clubs, Albany, Silverton and Eugene. have scheduled a little mast ing of thsir own for sometime this week, at which time it la a cinch they-will lay plans to stick together like fly-paper. All in all it's a tough situa tionfor the Craters and the Pelicans, and how It will turn 'out Is anybody's guess. The argument the Craters em' ploy, and It rifks with logic, is why in hell those Willamette valley teams can't make ONE trip apiece to Medford, when Medford must make THREE trips to the W'llumette valley? That rubber and gasoline situa tion Is going to effect Medfora Just as much as It is Albany, Silverton and Eusene. Bi.d if Medford figures it can make three trips to the Willamette valley the local brass hats argue the Willamette valley clubs should he able to come here once. Visualizing a swell year here, due to the canto-imcnt workmen and the soldiers later Medford may offer the Willamette valley teams special financial induce ments larger cuts on the gate receipts In tin attempt to change their collective and so called minus. This matter will be talked over at tonight's meet ing of the association board of directors. In our honest opinion. It seems wise for the association to go to almost any lengths, within reason, in ordet to stay in the league. Wa don I mean that the association should let those up state fellows mahe monkeys out of them, but money talks and It looks I ke Mt-dford can talk money this year.

Coast Grid Loop Threatened By Attendance Restrictions San Francisco, March 17. (IP) Whether football would be played on the Pacific coast next season in view cf the army's restrictions against gatherings of more than 9,000 persons Is expected to be clarified at the Portland next week-end. Earl V. Foster, graduate man ager of Washington State col lege, commented yesterday that the conference might scrap its 1B42 grid schedule, or at least the big games, but his statement brought varied reaction. Edwin N. Atherton, commis sioner of the conference, saia he thought Foster "undoubtedly Is talking for himself and not for the conference," and de clared the loop had taken no action toward abandoning its football schedule "and we will take none until advised to do so by military authorities." Graduate Manager - Ken Priestley of the University of California commented: "I think that Earl's statement Is a bit premature. We hope to cover all angles of the situation at this (conference) meeting, thought." Al Masters, Stanford graduate manager, said he thought Fos ter was "just guessing." 'We've known for quite a while that we may not be able to play football this fall," he said. "All we can do now Is get our regular schedule ready and hope that we will be able to go through with It. We can do noth ing right now, nor can anybody else." , Sam Barry, Southern Califor nia coach, started some conjec ture with the statement a few days ago that U.S.C.'s two big intersectional games this year would be played in the east, instead of in the Los Angeles coliseum, as originally sched uled.

LOPEZ CONQUERS B Vicious Vincent Lopez cap tured his second straight main event grappling match in the armory last night by punching and roughing his way to a two fall to one conquest of popular Pedro Brazil, the handsome South American title-holder. The mean Mexican, disre garding legitimate tactics, gain ed hi first fall in 18V4 minutes with a series of violent punches to Brazil's midriff and face, fol lowed by a body slam and a press. After Brazil evened the count six minutes later with a spectac ular vaulting dropkick back ov er the ropes, Lopez wound up the match by slugging Pedro dizzy and pinning him with a press just seconds after the bell rang. That fall of Brazil's was one of the most thrilling seen in the armory in many years. Lopez had battered the South Ameri can from pillar to post and it looked like Brazil was done for. He was outside the ring and ap parently about ready to crumple into the crowd when suddenly he grabbed the top strand of the ropes, vaulted high in the air and shot feet first back Into the ring. Lopez was caught squarely on the chin and drop ped like he was killed. Cyanide Cy Williams fouled out to big Jim Casey in the six-round opener, after socking Referee Earl Yoakley on the button and knocking him clear across the ring, where he did the splits and sat on the carpet before awarding the fall and match to Casey. Casey, matching Williams blow for blowr took the first fall in the second round with body slams and a press. The Williams foul occurred in the next stanza. Cyanide was chok ing and pulling Casey's hail when the referee attempted to break him loose, only to receipt for a roundhouse wallop. Andre Adoree, slightly unor thodox, took an easy one-fall decision from Am Kallio, a newcomer, in the four-round opener. The smooth French Canadian made a monkey of Kallio before pinning him with a body slam and press In the fourth and final round. I OF PREP MEET IS $1,500 Salem, March 17 (P) The state high school basketball tournament made a profit of $1,900, about $1,000 less than last year. Prof. Lestle J.
