So the P.C.C. kicked In with $50,000 for the Red Cross from the Rosa Bowl profits!

Island By Jack Cuddy United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Jan. 4 (U.R) Eastern basketball enthusiasts are still agog over the goofy game at Madison Square Carden Satur day night u. which rordham abandoned Its usual defensive tac tics and pitted "firehouse" against "firehouse" methods to up set Rhode Island State 84 to 75. The Carden's record cage i ' crowd of 18,304 developed balata necks from watching the torrent of shots at both ends of the court, as a half-dozen Carden scoring marks were bettered, Today the experts are arguing all over the east about me sigm ficance of this upset if any, Some say .Fordham's triumph Droves that the object of basket ball la to outscore the other team, regardless of defense. Others maintain that Fordham's superior defense prevented Rhode Island from scoring as much as the Fordhamltes in a fast-running game. The latter school of thought, which supports the bookish game against the blitz type, points out that the Rhode Island team had averaged 92 points per game, be fore tangling with the Fordham Rams. In fact, the Rhode Island ers defeated Ft Williams by the addlng-machine figure of 124 to 39. And because of Fordham's apparent abandoned but instinc tive defense, Rhode Island was unable to maintain its average of 92 Saturday night. It was re stricted to a mere 73. However, supporters of the "firehouse" game Insist that Fordham's unexpected all-out surprised the Rhode Islanders and put them on the defensive, thus permitting Fordham to monopolize the ball, do more shooting, and make more bas kets. We do not know which theory is correct. We do know, how ever, that last season Coach Ed Kelleher of Fordham concentrat ed on defense against the Rhode Islanders' perpetual-motion play. and lost to Coach Frank Keaney'a team In an extra per iod. Kelleher kept his two tallest Fordham men in the back court where they could do no scoring. Meanwhile his two smallest men forward tried to fight five husky Staters under the boards. Be cause Kelleher was expected to use the same system Saturday night, his team was a 6-5 under dog. We were sorry to see Rhode Island lose, because Coach Keaney la one of our favorite characters. This pudgy, middle aged mentor tr as refreshing as a mlntfulep when he rises at a basketOall luncheon and, in slap stick fashion, lves the "needle" to other coaches present for tak ing the hoop game too seriously, and for being "just too, too technical." "Basketball Is' ust a game which was invented so that the boys could have fun playing It." Keaney says. "I just send them out there to have fun win or lose. If anybody beats us so what? I just pivot and go home. I can always eat my supper." Does Keaney aver read books on the technique of basketball? "Sure I do," ha chuckles. "I read them all, even the books by Holman and Bee. But we al ways do the opposite from what those books tell us. If they say float, we don't float. That's why the other coaches call me "un sound.' "I'm always willing to give the other fellow one basket if we can get two In exchange. I tell the boys to go out there and run around and shoot and have fun. We don't expect to win every game. But as long as the boys and I have a good time I figure we're playing the right kind of basketball." On Man Trtbun. Want Ada. v BuiiM run I LAND CEMENT CO.

Boarding plane for Wash ington last night, the Georgia football star expressed himself In unequivocal terms on the uncertain status of his wife's film career. 'I Intend to be the bread winner in my family," he said. Mrs. Sinkwlch Is not making movie If I have anything to do about it." Sinkwlch said he would re turn Thursday to complete ar rangements for his own appear ance in a picture produced by Columbia studios but that hi wife, Adeline, would not accept a proffered screen role. Hi assertion seemed to out an end to the aeries of conflict ing statements about hi wife and the movies. Mrs. Sinkwlch and her sister. Dorothy Weatherly, were given a screen test at Universal stu dios and were offered a part In an Abbott and Costello film. She said Frankle lost his temper when he saw newspaper public ity photographs showing her in a scanty costume and that she'd have to refuse. Later she said that she was returning with Frankle to accept the part. Frankle has no confidence In his own dramatic talents either. "Most of the football players who have made movies to cash In on college fame were not much good a actors," he said. 'and I don't think I'm any bet ter. But It's a chance to make myself a nice nest egg before I go Into the marines." Sinkwlch appears before the Walter Camp Memorial club at Washington today to receive the Walter Camp memorial cup. Hamilton, Bermuda. Jan. 4.

FLU HiTSTTGER With less than a week remain ing before they open defense of their district 4 basketball cham pionship, sickness has struck the Medford high Tigers. Captain Don Fawcett and DarreH Monteith, regular for wards, were confined to their homes today with the flu. Al Weir, regular guard and Jack Kresse, reserve forward and guard, were sick withe the flu the latter part of last week, and while they are in school now they are still feeling the effects of the disease. The Tigers inaugurate the dis trict ra2 at Roseburg next Fri day and Saturday nights and Coach Lome Arnold Is far from happy over the physical condi tion of his quintet. A Detroit undertaker contrib uted an aluminum coffin to the local salvage drive, and in Dead wood, S. D., the wrought-iron gate of a cemetery went to the same purpose.

The Eskimo-made fur parka Jacket has caught the fancy of newcomers of both sexes In the Territory so much o that the streets of Alaskan cities are gaudier with bright furs than they have been at any time since the gold rushes. In fact, the craze for the Eskimo jacket has been carried almost to the point where your satorial taste, if not your actual financial standing, is judged pretty largely by the quality and trim of your parka. The most sought-after parkas are those made of soft, spotted reindeer fawnskin, while the rarest and most expensive are those made of the steel-gray Arc tic marmot skins, or sik-sik-puks as the Eskimos call them. Con noisseurs of parkas also put a great deal of store in the black-and-white geometrical designs in the hem and cuff trim of the garments. The trim most In favor is made by the Point Hope Eskimos and .old or traded by the yard to other tribes. For the most part, the Point Hope trim follows snowflake patterns. Uf course, all this has boomed the business of Eskimo seam stresses, and as a result many a tribal dame is sitting up late by the seal-oil lamp of her under- BREWING COMPANY 4, 1943 .i i i i i i mii in ii i ii in H .. ground igloo this winter stretch ing the pelt of seal, squirrel, fawns, sik-sik-puks and arctic rabbits Into garments for white sourdoughs and chechakos. But the supply of skins has proven limited, and in consequence the canny Eskimos, knowing some thing of supply and demand, have raised their prices well over 100 per cent. A jacket that last year would have brought a mere $30 will this winter bring around $100, cash on the line. . Army personnel and civilian defense workers badger airplane pilots to buy parka jackets for them in the Eskimo village they visit, and the pilot In turn bad ger the Eskimos to turn out more and gaudier jackets. Traders throughout the north are kicking themselves for not having fore seen the fad. The Bureau of In dian Affairs is berating Itself for not seeing to lt there were more skins on hand In the vlllagea. Belles in a score of Alaskan cities are unhappy because other belles have prettier parkas than they. But the Eskimos themselves are not at all unhappy. They are sitting pretty and they know it. and they are going to make the most of the situation.

Under tht tltla "Oregon's Mental Hospital Are Dis grace," a broadside giving much startling information about the Oregon mental institutions nas been received by Mrs. Justin Smith, public information chair man of the Jackson County League of Women Voter. The broadside was prepared oy tne Stats league and additional copies are being sent for the local league memDennip. Statistics quoted from the U. S. oublio health survey of 1940 reveal that standards tor me Oregon Institutions are much below the national average. Oregon provide one nurse and attendant for every 16.3 patient, while the national average 1 9.3. One doctor for every 330 patients is provided in the Oregon hospital, while one per 248 patients 1 the U. S. average and one for every ISO 1 the American Psychiatric association standard. Parsimony Cited A comparison of expenditures show that Oregon spends much less for salaries, provisions and maintenance than other similar institutions, the figure in some case being les than half the national averages. The survey state also that "the lack of skilled personel Is striking. Other facts brought out In the broadside are to the effect that $100,000 per year in fees paid by voluntary patients and their relative doe not go directly to the hospital for it mainten ance, but goes into the general fund of the state of Oregon; that the Salem institution has facili ties for but 2,100 patients and the average population Is 2,700; out of every 1,000 patients ad mitted to Oregon state hospitals more die than In the average mental Institution; there i no professionally trained case worker In either the Salem or the Pendleton hospitals.
