"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.
Cubs And Sox Seek
New Training Spots
Chicago, Dec. 24. flJ.B The
Chicago Cubs and tha Chicago
White Sox today began to look
for new spring training grounds
somewhere In the midwest In
preparation for the 1843 aeason.
The clubs, which announced
last night that they had aban
doned their California spring
training program, were the
eighth and ninth teams respec
tively to look for sites nearer
home at the request of Joseph
Eastman, director of defense
transportation.

Points, Hank Herman 8
Fop Winners Piche Stars
A surprisingly well -condi
tioned gang of former Medford
high cagers, led by Walter Kresse
and Hank Herman, hung a 31 to
19 defeat on the collective chins
of the current Tiger quintet at
the gym last night to prove they
have slipped little. If at all, from
the form they displayed In their
own prep days.
Kresse, a star on Bengal teams
two and three years ago, canned
five field bucket for 10 points.
And Herman, captain of last
season's Tigers, accumulated
eight markers. Setting up most,
of these baskets waa Bill Plche,
star of three years back, whose
floor work sparkled throughout.
The Lorne Arnold team, al
though alway trailing, stayed
In the battle until the fourth
quarter, when an alumni (urge
carried the grade away from the
preppers.
The high schoolers trailed by
only four point, at 18 to 22,
when the fourth period opened.
But two rapid baskets by Kresse
widened the gap to 18 to 29, and
that wa the turning point. The
alumni held the Tigers to a sin
gle tally In the final eight min
utes, while scoring nine, them
selves. Captain Don Fawcett of the
Tigers led hi club with (even
point and was the only player
who managed to (core with any
degree of consistency.
Next Thursday the Tigers will
scrimmage the Southern Oregon
College of Education freshmen In
Ashland.
