PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1942. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Gen. MacArthur Hope Of Facifio Coast Football We hive notion that fel low by the name of Gen. Doug lu MacArthur will, In a broad aenae, determine whether the Pacific Coast conference la to maintain football ai usual next autumn. Right now, with that army order restricting crowds to 8,000, the grid future of the coast circuit is portrayed In dull tones. If the order is- still in ef fect come fall, football 1 almost certain to operate on sharply reduced scale. And the order probably won't be rescinded If the small saf fron soldiers keep pushing west ward. If the Japs should take all or. part of Australia and establish bases there, the: Pa cific coast would be practically on the firing line, and even more stringent civilian regula tions for this seaboard would be in order. But. as supreme comman der of all United Nations forces in the far Pacific, if Oen. MacArthur- can marshal! his sea, air and land power for a smashing offensive to - break the back of the Jap drive, stop it cold and force Tokyo to retreat or dig la and try to defend what It already has, the situation on the coast will be greatly relieved. If, under MacArthur's leader ship, the tide of battle , swings over to the Americans and Dutch and British, if there ap pears to definitely be no danger to the coast states, the army will probably relax its restric tions, including that 9,000 max . imum crowd business. In short, the future of coast football, along with many other types of sport, is closely mesh ed with the fortunes of the war tn the Pacific. Not until that Jap offensive Is halted will the major athletic situation on the coast return to a normal basis. That's where MacArthur comes in. That's right up his alley. If anybody can lead an allied rebound, he is the man. And he has made It clear he Intends to do just that at the earliest possible moment. Here Is hoping. With the count standing three games to two for the Bombers, the Loggers will at tempt to even the seven-game city championship ice hockey series Friday night ... a vic tory for the Loggers will dead lock the "serious" . at : three games apiece, whila a win for the young Bombers will give them the crown . . . Sports Editor Al Llghtner f the Bilim Statesman, in naming his "bests" in the re cent state prep basketball tournament, writes) "Best shot made tossu? between the one Henry Herman of Medford made against Cerval lis Friday and the one Bobby Xnell made against Astoria In the title game" . . . Her man's shot was a tip in from the foul line on a Jump ball, something to tell his grand children about Chuck DeAutremont, SOCE stuaent who played in the out field for the Eugene Athletics last year, will be with the (.raters this season, Manager isuicn Lieoer says ... we re member a drive Chuck rifled over the left-centerfield wall last year, a real wallop, and he should be of great value to the Craters . . . Lleber says Norm Worthley, local Junior high coach, looks plenty potent back of the plate. City leaejue rrault last night: RnlsbU of Columbus (, Lwls Buptr Swttios 1: UttraU'f .

BOWLING CENTER STARS TO MIL SEMI-FINAL Frank Lubin, 6-Foot, 6-Inch Hollywood Ace, To Face Bob Gruenig, Denverite. By Loudon Kelly Denver, March 20 (IP) Na tional A. A. U. basketball's two greatest centers whose com bined heights would give pole vaulter Corny Warmedam pause will come face to face again In tonight's tournament semi finals. Fierce-faced Frank Lubln, 8-foot-8-lnch star of two conti nents, is the chief engineer in the Hollywood Twentieth Cen tury team's charge toward Its second straight championship. His rival Is thin man Bob Gruenig, S-foot-8 Inch hook shot specialist of the Denver Legion and the star of two Denver na tional champions. Their teams will open the semi-finals at 8 p. m.

No matter how you add It up, the skinny swatter should run his string to 118 straight triumphs 89 as an amateui and 29 as a pro in this tea party. He's 1 to 4 in the betting shoppes and this corner likes mm to finish with the decision. School Boxers Point For Cougar Champs Sacramento, March 20.
