The first week of the new year was one of the bleakest In sport wartime history and Indications tonight were that the end of the bad news for the industry is not yet In sight. Three things combined to make this week anything but hopeful for the future of war time sports. All horse, harness and dog tracks closed In com pliance with a government re quest; President Roosevelt and War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes began a cam paign to get 4-F's Into war work and restrictions were suggested for convention -gatherings. . A hopeful development of the week, however, was Byrnes' statement that he was hot con sidering any action against base ball and football such as he took against animal racing. The 4-F proposal was of Im mediate concern to sports lead ers, but in the long run the con vention restrictions may mean as much unless the transporta tion crisis eases before the spring training season for base ball opens in March.

Both had 36-hole totals of 140, two strokes under par. With only a few top players still out on the rolling green fairways and knocking through the woods of the Riviera Coun try club ' course, Mangrum's early lead had seemed secure. The pressure was on McSpa den as he came to the 18th, with practically all of the 19th an nual Los Angeles open's 3,000 spectators watching him. This didn't bother him as he calmly lined up his shot and holed out to climb onto the ton rung with Mangrum. McSpaden is defend ing champion.

Nad Liebman Medford High's fast stepping basketball quint continued on their merry way Saturday night at the expense of Eureka high school, 39-26. . It was the eighth strlight win for the Tornado, while the in vading Loggers suffered their first setback in seven starts. Little Dick Fawcett kept up his scoring pace punishing the hoop for 13 markers, 11 of them coming in the last half, where they were needed most. Jay Wll lard's Loggers made a close game of it for three quarters, but lacked the necessary punch to close the huge gap' the Tor nado built up, scoring only 13 points to the home team's 20 the last half. Using all men in uniform, Al Simpson, Medford coach, work ed the firehorse fast break to perfection, numerous baskets coming on fast breaking plays that found the Loggers far down the floor and away from the basket. Eureka's five men who played the whole game were visibly tired as the last period started, and their continual long shots were having trouble find ing the hemp. Fawcett's 13 points lead the scoring parade with Jerry Ross close on his heels with 9. Cliff Mitchell, Logger long shot ex pert, found the hoop for 12 points, to lead his squad in that department. In the opening game the Med ford "B" squad outlasted the Eureka second team, 44-31 with Earl Stelle, Tornado forward, swishing 12 points. Lineups: Medford Pos. Eureka Hayes 4 J Knudsen 5 Waton f.
