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.

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.
