Billy Hulen Says:
Poll Sees Need
For More Sports
In Grade Schools
That the American ' public is
strongly aware of the need for
an Improved system of athletic
training in the elementary
schools of the United States is
born out by the monthly sports
poll conducted by Esquire maga
zine, the August issue of which
is now on sale.
To the question: Do you
think it is of paramount, import'
ance to the country that a
strong, comprehensive, nation
wide physical culture program
be Immediately instituted in all
elementary schools?", 85.01 per
cent of the total vote answered
in the affirmative.
"It is obvious that proper phy-
sical training in the grade
school ages can accomplish
more good than in the high
schools and colleges," a release
from the magazine stated, "and
yet the early-age program has
been the most neglected."
This is undoubtedly true ia
general throughout the nation,
but it certainly isn't here in
Medford, where all four ot
the grade schools have cap
able coaches and the young
boys receive thorough train
ing in basketball, football,
track and baseball, along with
gymnastics and other forms of
physical education. Med
ford's program could well
serve as a pattern for the im
proved system needed.
The current Esquire poll pro
vides some Interesting answers
to questions of timely import
ance. Following are the ques
tions and answers:
"Do you believe that the
rules that bar competition be
tween amateur and professional
athletes should be waived dur
ing the war?" The answer:
92.32 per cent yes.
"Do you believe that the
training of the athletic field
produces in a superlative degree
the attributes of a soldier?' " or,
"Do you believe that the periods
devoted to such sports as foot
ball constitute 'an outrageous
waste of time? " The answer:
93.78 rjer cent for thn first mip. 1
tion, 8.22 per cent for the
end.
"Are athletes like Joe Louis
and Bob Feller of more value
to the country helping raise re
lief funds than In serving on the
firing line?" The answer: 78.92
per cent yes.
"Aviation requiring special
nervous and muscular sensitivi
ties, what sport best contributes
to proficiency in this vital new
field?" Answer: tennis, 24.48
per cent.
"Since ether sports are con
tinuing their championships,
do you think the U. S. ama
teur and U. S. open golf cham
pionships should be reinstated
next year?" Answer) (8.31
per cent yes.
"Does the annual big league
all-star game indicate league
superiority as well as the world
aeries?" Answer: 68.41 per cent
no.
'Is it better relaxation for
men In the services to partici
pate in sports than to be spec
tators as sporting events?"
Answer: 72. 58 per cent yes.
"Do you believe that correct
form is as Important a factor In
fishing as In other sports?"
Answer: 52.44 per cent no.
"With England curtailing
sports additionally since the
rise of Sir Stafford Cripps, do
you think America should fol
low suit?" Answer: 88.29 per
cent no.

Grind Starts on Thursday.
By Cayle Talbot
Chicago, July 21 The

went its free, untrammeled and
virtually uncontrolled way to
day with the amateurs trying
tholr best to qualify for the
shooting proper, which begins
tomorrow.
After tomorrow, of course.
comes the deluge, when ama
teurs and professionals will be
come so Inextricably mixed for
a period of days that it will
take a certified public account
ant to determine who is in front.
But for the moment, the oma
teurs: Late yesterday, when the sun
already had dimmed over Tam
O'Shanter and everybody was
ready to go home, Johnny Leh
man of Chicago, who won the
Western Amateur back in 10'JO,
came chuffing in with a score
of 71 to lead the field at the
e.id of the first round.
This was one blow under par,
and perhaps it gave an insight
into the present amateur golf
situation. There I no stand-out
amateur golfer today. That is:
no Bobby Jonej, no Lawson
Little. There are a lot of good
ones, but none holding an edge
over the field when he starts.
Gilbert Second
A single stroke behind Leh
man as the second round of the
amateur qualifying test started
were Bill Gilbert of Columbus,
Henry Bowbeer of Chicago, Bob
Cochran of St. Louis, Frank
Stranahan of Toledo, and Johnny
Goodman of Omaha. Each shot
a par 72 yesterday. Outside of
Goodman, who won .he Na
tional Open in 1033 and the
National Amateur in 1937, the
names will not register, as a
rule.
Somehow, the professionals
pm tn hv won tha ascend-
wc-iency in golf. The money play
-
ers draw the crowd. Yesterday,
while the amateurs were doing
their earnest best to qualify In
their own department of this in
exDllcable tournament, the pros
drew the galleries, though they
were only practicing. The pros
do not start playing, really,
until Thursday.
Today it was a case of the
amateurs completing their qual
ifying rounds, with the low e
entering match play tomorrow.
On Tluusdnv everybody pros
ond amateurs alike will 'iegln
play in the Tam O Shenter u

, By Judson Bailey

Baseball has been turned into
a game of blind man's buff in
the last two or three days and
the average fan is "it."
Nobody can tell where a ball
player will pop up next.
First Buddy Rosar fled the
New York Yankees and they got
hold of Rollie Hemsley quicker
than you could find a Cincin
natl-New York train in a time
table.
T'len Eric McNair..who had
been sold bv Detroit, to Wash
ington, and suppostedly ,Uit
baseball, was sold instead to
the Philadelphia Athletics and
decided top lay some more.
And last niKht Lefty Larry
French, the Jovial veteran who
usually starts a ga.ne about
once in 10 days, went to the
mound in Pittsburgh on one
day's rest and hurled a five-hit
5-0 shutout for the Brooklyn
Dodgers against the Pirates.
All other teams in both major
leagues were idle yesterday.

SOCKEYE DEFEATS
PRINCE TO EARN
"ANGEL" FRACAS
It will be Sockeye Jack Mc
Donald versus Maurice "The
Angel" Tillet, monstrous French
man, In the main event of next
Monday night's armory wrestl
ing program.
This was deflnately and ir
revocably determined In front
of a huge crowd of mat maniacs
last night when McDonald de
feated his arch enemy. Prince
Selaki Mihalikis, in 20 minutes
of slam-bang, spine tingling
action.
There was only one fall In the
match, and McDonald was its
owner. With first one and then
the other pachyderm seemingly
on the verge of pinning his op
ponent through some 19 minutes
of struggling, McDonald finally
crashed his fist into the Mihali
kis ribs and that was all there
was.
Hurt badly, the Prince was
utterly unable to continue, as
much as he wanted to, and the
fall and match was awarded to
the big, ex-logger from Washing
ton. The victory was especially
sweet to McDonald, not alone
because it earned him the desired
chance to face 'The Angel" and
come in for a big piece of
change. The match was the "rub
ber" one between Sockeye and
Mihalikis, each having beaten
the other in two previous clash
es. Besides, neither grappler
likes each other.
Pedro Brazil, the South Amer
ican heavyweight titleist, took
the seml-windup from Weed's
Pete Belcastro, two falls to one,
In a dramatic contest that per
haps, was the best match on the
card.
A series of shoulder butts and
a body press, following a punch
fest in the first round, gave Bra
zil the initial tumble.
Belcastro, seething with anger
and employing plenty of illeg
itimate tactics, evened the count
in the third round with a re
sounding dropktck to Brazil's
chin, followed by a press.
This dropkick business back
fired on Belcastro, however, In
the fourth stanza, and as a re
sult the handsome Brazil picked
up the marbles. Pete fired a ter
rific double-leg belt that Brazil
just managed to avoid, and Pete
landed squarely on his back.
Stunned, he lay there while
Brazil clambered on top for the
third and deciding fall.
Irish Jim Casey and Joe Buc
cola wrestled to a clean . and
scientific draw In the opener,
both men employing many
spectacular holds.
Officials of the Medford Ath
letlc association announced to
day that the first game of next
week-end's two-game series be
tween the Medford Craters and
the Grants Pass Merchants
would be played at the fair
grounds park here Saturday
night at 9 o'clock, with the
second tilt slated for Grants

THE WHISKEY WITH
"NO ROUGH EDGES"
O'Shanter Open
Lumbering Catalinas
Write Heroic Story
In Aleutian Battle
By Keith Wheelos
(Copyright, 1942, Chicago Times, Inc.)
AT SEA WITH PACIFIC FLEET, June 18 (Delayed) Some
day when the Japs are driven out of Kiska and the Aleutians are
blocked as a road to conquest, the people concerned with such
things will find time to hang medals on the men flying and
fighting this command's Catalina flying boats.
In a war where bravery is i
commonplace there has been
nothing to excell the stubborn
courage with which this handful
of men drove the brash Jap back
from Dutch Harbor and is now
pounding day and night at his
bases on barren Kiska and Attu.
There were few Catalinas
here when the battle began
nearly two weeks ago and if
there are more today the reason
is not that the crews made
prudent use of their lives and
planes. Everyday new planes
arrive to replace the fallen.
They may as well prepare to
make many posthumous awards.
Losses Heavy
In Ack-Ack Fire
As might have been expected,
the losses have been heavy
heavier than the censor would
care to let me say. Everybody
who knew anything about it
knew the Catalinas would have
tough going against anti-aircraft
and Jap fighting planes.
The Catalina is the navy's
PBY, a huge, magnificently dur
able and far ranging airplane,
ideal for long patrols and rough
landings in these uneasy waters.
But you can't have everything.
They're big and slow too and
big slow airplanes make nice
targets for the opposition.
The Catalinas began to catch
It from the first flight of Jap
bombers to drop on Dutch Har
bor. One was taking off when
the bombers came in but he
never got free of the water. A
maruading zero cut him up with
machine gun fire, killed two
men, wounded a third and set
the plane afalre as it ran
aground.
During the first day another
Catalina was forced down at
sea and abandoned 15 miles
from shore. Next day another
was shot down in flames off
Unalaska, her crew dead at
their stations.
Still another went hunting for
the Jap carriers hiding in the
jnist and didn't come home. Two
days later a patrol boat found
pieces of wreckage and the
pilot's floating body off Scotch
Cay on Unlmak Island. He had
got In the way of a machinegun
burst and there wasn't much left
of him.
In the first 48 hours of the
invasion the Catalinas landed
only when too tattered to fly
any longer or when they ran
out ot fuel.
Pi
Many Go Into Fog
Never To Return
Many flew out into the fog
and never came back. One was
disabled at sea and when the
chew landed and launched their
rubber crash boat the zeros
machinegunned the American
fliers on the water.
In the third day the battle
moved westward. The Catalinas
drummed through the murky sky
hour after hour seeking to re
establish contact with the Jap
carriers, then hanging out some
where in a snowstorm on the
face of a cold front below Se
guam Island.
That day they began to carry
torpedoes aboard planes not
even designed for the relatively
easier Job of toting bombs.
One Cat was disabled trying
to bomb a carrier from 1,700
feet. As might have been expect
ed the ack-ack got him and car
ried away most of one engine
installation. Another ran into
formation of zeros near Egg Is
land and went down in flames.
A Catalina sleuthed back and
forth through patches and fin
gers of fog until he found one
carrier. Thereafter, he stuck to
the enemy like a process served
despite the pestering zeros. He
stayed until the attack shot
away his rudder and later
crashed at sea.
