PAGE FOUR MEDFORD KAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 81944 QUESTION BEFORE Service Team Relationship, Frosh Rule Due For Study Dispute Expected. Br Tommy Devlne United Press Correspondent Chicago. Dec. 8 U.R New eoliciei to govern the conduct of wartime athletics will be drafted today by faculty repre sentatives and athletic directors or the Big Ten. Two controversial questions . face the conference officials: (IV Relationship with serv ice teams. (2) The freshman rule. The first topic was loaded with "dynamite" and there may be tendency on the part of Big Ten leaders to "soft pedal" the Issue, but some league represent atives were ready to demand a strict set of eligibility require ments for tha service teams Jf they remain on the schedules of conference teams. The move was directed pri marily at the Iowa pre-fllght school. Big Ten teams purport edly understood when tha pre fllght team was formed that It would be manned by cadets. Special permission later was given for the use of officers "when necessary.' However, early In the season when the bulk of the Big Ten teams were mat, tha Seahawks used a team composed largely of officers and that policy had many repercus sions around the conference. Most conference coaches and official believed that a definite agreement should be reached with tha service teams as to tha type of their personnel to pre vent recurrence of tha ill feeling that developed this fall. The freshman rule which requires a year's residence be fore an athlete is eligible for varsity competition probably will become a war casualty. With tha draft of IS and 19 year old boy and the service calls of older students in the army and navy reserve units, it appear unlikely that college will have sufficient manpower to carry on their Intercollegiate aports program next year unless first year men are used. TIGERSLEFTOFF T Medford's Black Tornado failed to land a single player on Klamath Falls' all-opponents grid team as selected by Coach Frank Ramsey, but placed two men on the second eleven Ray Case beer, center, and Clayton Ander son, guard. Ramsey's first team Included four players from Vancouver high, two from Grant, one each from Eureka, Redding and Bend and two from Grants Pass Chet Lathrop, end, and Clyde Blev ins, guard.

Defense Transporta tion Director Joseph B. Eastman ruled today. Seeking to hold holiday travel to a minimum, Eastman said he had wired sponsors of the Rose and Sugar Bowls that if they provide the competing teams with ticket for sale in their home communities, it would be counter to requests he has made that their sale be allowed only in towns where the games are scheduled. "We must discourage enthus iasts, alumni and team followers from making these trips this season," Eastman telegraphed Robert M. McCurdy, president of the Tournament of Roses. "I hope that travel from Georgia may be limited to es sential people," he said. A copy of the telegram was sent to the University of Georgia. New York.

LUGGAGE ARMY L0CXER8 BURK'S 314 E. Main " ' :Y' : ' ':':v' 'Goofy? Tourney Under Way For Interim Heavy Diadem By Jack Cuddy United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Dec. 8 (U.R) Promoter Mike Jacobs Is conduct ing a tournament for the goofy "interim heavyweight cham pionship," and it will serve hlm-right if that mysterious screw ball from California, Lou Nova, happens to win it. Jacobs, abetted by the New York Boxing commission and apparently also by the National Boxing association, is trying to determine the best of a bad lot of heavies to foist him upon the public as "champion," while Sgt. Joe Louis 1 helping Unci Sam against the Axis. To aid the war effort, our citizens will accept fish instead of beef on meatless Tuesday, and they'll use substitutes for rubber, etc., but we doubt if they'll accept an ersatz heavy weight king in place of Louis. Particularly when the makeshift champ must come from among Nova, Taml Maurlello and Jim my Bivlnenoe three remaining gladiotors in the tourney. It is our opinion that Jacobs and the fistic fathers are fooling ro one but themselves when they talk grandiloquently of duration champions. They believe that such verbiage, used in publicity, will help the gates. We doubt it. Although the average fight tan 1 somewhat of a sucker, he' not. such a hoddy-doddy as to fall for that tripe. All of the flamboyant blurbs at tha dis posal of Jacobs' ballyhoo artist can not blow away the lingering aroma of that recent "tourna ment" bout between Blvln and Lee Savold, for example. Anyway, Lou Nova, the belt ing buffoon from Los Angeles, tangles with young Taml Mauri ello of the Bronx in the second tournament bout at the garden Friday night. We hope Nova wins, and then goes on to lick Bivins, the sawed-off Cleveland Negro, in the final for the "title." It would be Just retribu tion, if you know your Nova. We have nothing personal against Nova. He is good to his wife and kiddles. He worked his ! way through high school and a bit of college. Moreover, he garnered his limited fighting abilities with -a hodge-podge of new-fangled blarney that facul ty Increased his box office value. We mean that stuff about the yogi, cosmic punch, dynamic stance, etc. Our chief criticism of the Jest ing Jolter is that he Is the ulti mate in in-and-outers. He works himself and the fans up to ter rific letdowns. Using that other California clown, Maxle Baer, as an Important atepplng stone on two occasions Nova climbed to important heights.

Nova was a 3-1 favorite against fat Tony. But the yogi man came storm ing back, after a year's lay-off and four fast victories won him a title shot at Louis. Well sir. Nova certainly sold the boxing writers and public a bill of goods that time with his dy namic stance.

DAYS FOR DODGERS, IS SCHEFFELS CLAIM By Paul Schsffel United Press Correspondent New York, Dec. 8 (U.R) Notes from the off-season base ball scoreboard: Steve O'Neill, new manager of the Detroit Tigers, faces one of the toughest Job in baseball for 1943 when he attempts to re build his squad into an American league contender ... The Ben gal have already lost 31 players to the service with more likely to leave, but O'Neill, who pilot ed Beaumont to the top. of the Texas league standings last sea son, feel optimistic about his Job especially when he talks of Rookie Outfielder Dick Wake field . . . Wakefield, paid a healthy sum to sign with Detroit two years ago, will hit with the top six men In the league, ac cording to O'Neill.
