? PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1943 AS USUAL ON PACIFIC COAST IN ENSUING YEAR Coast League to Operate Despite Ban on Night Call Football Also Planned. Br l H. Petersen United Press Sporti Editor San Francisco, Jan. 7 (U.PJ Although operating under cur tailed schedules, It will be sports as usual on the Pacific cout thli year. The Pacific Coast league, one of baseball'! three class AA cir cuits, will operate despite the ban on night ball; basketball, semi-pro hockey and all the other Indoor sports already are underway and plans are being made tor college football next fall. Circumstances may alter the outlook, but if the war effort makes no further inroads on sports the west coast's 1943 pro gram will be the same as last year. Racing Suffer Thus far, horse racing Is the only sport which has suffered since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Three tracks Santa Anita, Tanforan and Hollywood Park failed to open, but the latter may have a meeting boRinning in May. There definitely will be no more racing at Santa Anita and Tan foran for the duration. So far. Bay Meadows has been the only major track to operate as usual. The banning of night games probably will take all the profit out of baseball and some changes are being made to the league can operate. The sched ule, usually the longest of any league in the nation, will be shortened and the player limit probably cut from 23 to 20. Final plans will be worked out next month. Because the transportation problem is more acute here than In the east, the southern clubs may make only one northern trip to Portland and S e a 1 1 1 e instead of the usual two. ... Basketball never has been the drawing card In the far west that It Is In the east and mid west, "but college officials don't expeot much of a drop In at tendance, particularly in the population centers. They point out that the decrease in football attendance on the Pacific coast last season was less than any other section of the country. Bowl Crowd Cited That the people of this sec tion still want their sports was demonstrated by the more than 83,000 who turned out for the Rose Bowl footbt.ll game be tween Georgia and UCLA on New Years' day, the 89,000 who saw the East-West charity game t San Francisco, and the crowd of more than 9,000 who spent $14,778 Tuesday night to see Henry Armstrong fight Jimmy VcDanlels. So tar as football Is concern ed, the Pacific Coast confer ence expects to operate as usual. But, if necessary, the confer ence could be split Into two groups to conserve transporta tion facilities. In one group would be Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State, Montana and Idaho, while in the other there would be Stan ford, California, Southern Cali fornia and UCLA. I f V - Hi t a, if I K t & it m Bob Newland High Scorer Bill LtAbUtb PLAN TO DO TRAINING IN IE TERRITORY BOB NEWLAND University of Oregon, Eugene, Jan. 7 (Spl.) Bub Newland, former Medford high school athletic star, will be a starter on the University of Oregon basket ball team when the Webfoots start the northern division hoop race on the Inland Empire trip next week. Newland has been the leading scorer of the Oregon team in nine pre-season games with 71 points, or an average of 8.9 a game. He has deadly two handed long shot that makes him a constant threat on offense. Newland Is also a good dribbler, very fast and good on defense. Coach Howard Hobson rates the versatile southern Oregon athlete a contestant for northern division scoring and all-star honors. Newland earned his letter as a sophomore last year, despite the fact he was on the sick list most of the season. He was high scorer of the freshman team two years ago, and also earned his numerals in track and base ball. Last year he earned a varsity letter in track and was one of the best high jumpers in the northern division. Playing with Newland on the first string will be Captain Don Kirsch at the other guard post, either Freshman Roger Wiley or Letterman Wally Borrevik at center, and Warren Taylor, Rolph Fuhrman or Bob Wren, all lettermen, forwards. First home games on the Web foot slate are January 22 and 23 when Oregon meets the Uni versity of Washington In what are traditionally two hectic racehorse affairs. NO DEFERMENTS FOR BASEBALLERY Washington, Jan. 7 (U.R) Baseball playing Is not essential to winning the war and no occu pational draft deferments will be granted to players even If they are stars who might bring the pennant to their clubs, War Man power Commission Chairman Paul V. McNutt ruled today. McNutt, in an explanation of baseball's status under the man power program, said that sports and kindred professions such as acting are useful as morale builders, but not essential. The usefulness of the sport Is a separate question from the essentiality of the Individuals who play It," he said.
