Coasting along:
- Early basketball results indi
cate St. Mary's and California
are the collegiate teams to watch
in the San Francisco Bay region.
while southern California prob
ably will grab the coast confer
ence southern division without
too much trouble . . . Stanford,
after several years of prosperity,
had a very unsuccessful trip to
New Orleans . . . seems most
schools make tours only when
they have poor teams ... no
body should be touring this year,
anyway.
So the P.C.C. kicked In with
$50,000 for the Red Cross from
the Rosa Bowl profits! Doesn't
look like much compared with
the 163,000 turned over to the
Shrine hospital and war relief
by the East-West game, whose
gross take Is about $200,000 un
der that of the Rose Bowl. . . .
Lt. Byron Bennett, recently
decorated for heroism after a
flying fortress raid In Europe,
was senior track manager at
California two years ago. . . .
One of our operatives claims
that Babe Holllnbery would like
nothing better than a crack at
the California Football Post
under post-war conditions and
providing, of course, that Stub
Allison either has retired to live
oo his income or has departed
to other pasture . . . we can't
see the Babe leaving the security
of Washington State for the
bowing, scraping, and general
uneasiness at Berkeley ...
After being introduced to Bob
Xennedy of Washington State, a
Missouri member of the West
Shrine team said to friend:
"How could a baby-face guy
like that be an All-America full
back?" The Mlssourlan learned the

East Ga-Ga Over Fordham's
84-75 Upset of Rd. 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."

OF WIFE HALTED
BY GEORGIA ACE
Hollywood, Jan. 4 (U.R)
Frankle Sinkwlch, who has any
husband' doubta about hrs
wife's prospects for career,
Intends to be the sole bread
winner in his family and has
no sympathy with whatever film
ambitions Mrs. Sinkwlch may
have.
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.

PARKA PAD KEEPS
ESKIMOS BUSY IN
ALASKA VILLAGES
Anchorage, Alaska (U.B
"Park your parka." That's the
stock Invitation to hang up your
coat in Alaska this winter.
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

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.

Disgraceful Parsimony.

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.
Public Apathy

conditions at the hospitals are
due as much to general public
apathy as to failure of the legis
