PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1942 "Bear Stories" Grow In Pasadena; Frank Sinkwich Said Injured SUFFERS ANKLE Little Doubt That Ail-American Back Will Play Tickets Sell Slowly. , Br Lo H. Petersen 'United Press Sport Editor Pasadena, Cal Dee. 24 U.R Tha annual pre-gama bear ato riet began coming out of this lackadaisical Rosa Bowl city to day and one of them vitally In terested the Georgia football team. Its star All-America backfleld fr ace, Frankie Sinkwich, was hob- ' bling around on two bad ankles -'- and everyone from tha Georgia water boy to Coach Wally Butts feared the worst, although Sink wich tried to put them at rest. "I'll play if I have to use crutches," he said, indicating that even that assistance would not be necessary. : He twisted his right ankle during an offensive forward passing drill yesterday and had to be helped from the field. He injured his left ankle a week ago today as the team went through its final drill before boarding the train at Athena, Ga, for Pasadena. UCLA Unconcerned To the west, tome 35 miles away, the University of Califor nia at Los Angeles didn't seem concerned over reports of Sink wich't Injury. They figured it was just another on of those stories that tha opposing team brings to throw opponent off guard. . "We still are drilling to atop . Sinkwich," Coach Babe Horrell aald. "If he doesn't show up, we can switch our plans. Butts said he would keep Birutwicn out of future drills un til tha trainers said he was ready. Then appeared little doubt that ha would be ready when tha whistle blows at 2:30 p. m. a week from tomorrow. But Sinkwich or no Sinkwich. tha populace appeared little In terested In tha game. Ticket aales, restricted under Office of Defense Transportation recom mendation to resident of the vicinity, were alow and prospect were that tha crowd would be something like 10,000 short of the 83,000 Rose Bowl capacity. There may be a nlckuo In de mand because Pasadena, with It 0,000 citizens, waa becoming Georgia-conscious. There were Georgia banners 11 over town. The townsfolk gathered to sea Sinkwich and hie mates, but whether they would shell out the necessary cash to tee them play the Bruins was aomethlnk else. New York, Dec. 24. (U.B President Ford Trick of the National league said today there was no likelihood of any of the National league clubs training In Florida in 1943 in line with the general move to curtail war time transportation problems. Frlck added that aa far as he could see there waa no need for postponing the opening of the major league season. "There is no way of knowing, of course," he said, "what may develop In the next few weeks but now as I see It, the season should and will open on time." As far as could be determined, only the Cincinnati Reds re mained committed to training In Florida.
