While the questions deal with several different phases of (his Inter-relation, the one that strikes us as the most Impor tant concerns whether sport should be continued for the duration of the war for the take of bolstering public morale, or whether they should be elimi nated. There has been much pro and con discussion of that question, and while the Esquire poll cer tainly doesn't necessarily settle the controversy It does, or should, represent the majority opinion. And, the answer to the Esquire poll question was 88.12 per cent in favor of continuing (ports. Following are the 10 poll questions, with the answers in percentages: (1) Are Americans with their training ia competitive sports more likely to possess the type of courage thai can fight to the bitter end and come back from adversity than the mass military-trained men of the Axis nations?

Two minor changes in Rogue river angling will be in effect this year. The river is closed to fishing for a distance of iuu yards below the lower fish racks at Rogue Elk, instead of 100 yards above the fish racks, and the river Is closed from the Gold Ray dam to the upper side of the Gold Ray bridge instead of from the dam to a point 100 yards below the bridge, accord ing to the 1842 synopsis. A report from the Crater Lake national park office stated that the limit of 12 fish per day per person in Crater lake has now been extended to the streams of the park by an amendment to the fishing regu lations adopted by the depart ment of the interior April 2. The former limit was 20 fish per day per person. Fill Out Cards Anglers were urged by the state game commission to fill ilitcu Salica Faces Chavez In Non-Title Fighl Hollywood.

By CaU Fowler Seattle, April 17 WV-If Cal ifornia Intends to stop the Uni versity of Washington's winning streak In their Pacific coast regatta Saturday, this is the year to do it. Because Al Ulbrickson, the Washington coach, is convinced that everything is conspiring against him, chiefly the ele ments. Yesterday afternoon Referee Elmer Leader went out with the California shells and explained the methods of starts to be used in tomorrow's eight-oared classic. The Bears had perfectly flat water all the way and returned from a refreshing workout. Came time for Washington to take to the water with Leader. Ulbrickson no sooner poked his head out of the shellhouse and the rains came and reaped the wild wind, al) at once. Boat Swamps So while the varsity, Jayvee and frosh shells bounced around In the comparative protection of the Lake Washington cnal bordering the campus, crast guard and other craft scurried about the lake to find the oars lost when the Washington pickle boat swamped and the crewmen had to swim 100 yards to shore. "Boy. everything's gone wrong!" Ulbrickson moaned later. The Bears drew the inshore lane for the varsity race and the offshore lanes for the Jayvee and frosh races. The regatta opens tomorrow with the frosh racing at 2 p. m., over the two-mile distance. The Jayvees follow at 2:43 and the varsity at 3:30, the latter two traveling three miles from Leschl to Madison Park.

Fantastic things happen dur ing the first few days of every basetjcU season when the major league clubs are trying to shake out their spring kinks. Take a day like yesterday. The Boston Red Sox scored 19 runs for what may stand all season as the largest score by one club. The victims were the Philadelphia Athletics, who scored four runs Just for exer cise, certainly not for competi tion. There were other wild games In fact five of the day s eight encounters produced from 22 to 28 hits but some extraordinary recognition ought to go to the 12-lnning struggle which Cin cinnati captured 8-7 from Pitts burgh to knock the Pirates out of their share of the National league lead. The Brooklyn Dodgers won the rubber game of their series with the New York oiams in the same fashion. Two rookies, Ed Head of the Dodgers and Lefty Dave Koslo of the Giants were locked in a 2-2 tie coming Into the ninth. Koslo loaded the bases by giving two singles and a walk, men lorcea across an other run with a pass. Ace Adams relieved him and prompt ly yielded another walk and Brooklyn triumphed 4-2. The New York Yankees beat Washington, 8 to 5. Rookie Vernon Stephens hit his second home run in two days as the St. Louis Browns humiliated the Chicago White Sox again 13-3, and Detroit beat Cleveland, S to 4.
