Billy Hulen Says:
Public In Favor
Of Sports During
War, Poll Shows
By far the most interesting
Esquire sports poll yet published
Is contained In the issue out this
week, with every question and
answer on the list involving the
inter-relation of sports and mili
tary activity.
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? Answeri 95.S0 per cent
r-
(2) Will our war with the
Fascist nations who employ
"stab-ln-the-back," treacherous,
sneaking, ruthless, underhand
methods In trying to win at
any cost, ultimately result in
a lower standard of sportsman
ship in Americans? Answer:
1.12 per cent no.
(3) Do you believe that It Is
Justifiable to continue spectator
ports as usual on the grounds
that by providing diversion they
bolster public morale? Answer:
88.12 per cent yes.
(4) Whst do you consider the
most valuable entertainment fea
ture in the military camps?
Answer: sports, 48.70 per cent.
(0) Do you believe that expe
rienced hunters, or men trained
on the rifle range, develop bet
ter the type of marksmanship
needed In military action? An
swer hunting. 56.27 per cent.
(6) Do you believe that as a
part of the post-war program
for the betterment of interna
tional relations, the Olympic
Games should be resumed? An
swer; 83 67 per cent yes.
(7) Should the time tradition
ally given to athletics In our
high schools and colleges now
be devoted to some phase ol
military training? Answeri 84.07
per eent no.
(8) What sport, In your Judg
ment, best develops the at
tributes most necessary in an
effective soldier? Answer: foot
ball, 94.30 per cent.
(8) With boxing as a leading
sport In the military camps, do
you favor use of a protective
headgear for the upper half of
the head In all eamn bnuta. aa

ISWELCOMENEVS
Most Roads To Angling
Areas In Good Condition;
Bag Limit Remains Same
Providing there is no change
in the weather between now
and one hour before dawn Sat
urday, Jackson county's fishing
enthusiasts will find Rogue
river and the great majority of
streams In excellent condition
for the opening of the Oregon
trout season tomorrow.
The state police and sporting
goods stores reported the river
and tributaries were clear and
level, and that prospects for a
great opening day were as good
as any In recent years, perhaps
better.
All lakes In the region will be
open to anglers with the excep
tion of Diamond lake, whose
season starts on May 20, and
Fish lake, whose open season
begins May 2.
According to the Rogue River
national forest, most roads to
the best angling spots are In
good condition. The Diamond
lake road is open for six mHes
off the Crater Lake highway.
which will enable fishermen to
reach the upper Rogue and
well-stocked streams In the vic
inity. Open To Squaw Lake
The Elk creek road Is open
to Matthews cabin, the Wood
ruff Meadows roar! is open to
Woodruff Meadows bridge, and
the Mill creek road la open in
the Union Creek area. Squaw
Lake road is wet but passable,
with no chains needed, and the
Dead Indian road la open to the
summit but not passible Into the
Big Elk area, the forest service
reported. The road to Fish lake
la open to within six or seven
miles of the lake, making small
streams In this area available
to anglers.
The bag limit for trout six
Inches and over remains the
same as last year: IS fish or IS
pounds and one tish in any one
day, but not to exceed 30 fisn
or 30 pounds and two fish in
any seven consecutive &?l or
In possession at any one time.
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.

Hard Luck Hits Washington
Regatta Scheduled
For 3:30 P. M. Saturday.
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.

BY GOLD SOX IN
By Judson Bailey
Associated Press Sports Writer.
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.
St. Louis Cardinals won a
track meet from the Chicago
Cubs 11-8.
And who do you suppose had
the tightest, best played contest
of the day? The Boston Braves
and Philadelphia Phils. It went
ten Innings and Boston triumpn
ed 2-1 with old Ernie Lombard!
driving In both the Braves' runs
with singles.
