lic Opinion, more familiarly
known as the Gallup Poll, was
cleared today of charges that
political motives Influenced its
predictions In the 1044 presi
dential campaign. The verdict

ASHLAND QUINTET
PELICANS, 45 TO 33
Ashland, Jan, 13. Showing
the class which carried them to
the state basketball champion'
ship last March, Ashland High
school's quintet outfought and
out scored Klamath Falls Fell-
cans here Friday night to score
a 45-33 victory. Except for a
close first period in which the
lead changed hands four times,
Ashland had definite command
of the game and Klamath never
had a chance.
Outclassed after that first
quarter, Klamath was the vic
tim of Ashland speed and de
ception - as the Grizzlies out
smarted their southern Oregon
conference, foe time after time.
Jay Samuelson and Jimmie
Jandreau, carrying the brunt
of the Grizzly attack, broke
through a loose Pelican defense
for easy lay-In shots. Had Ash
land's shooting eye been as good
as their offense ana aieeirse,
Klamath would have taken an
Unmerciful lacing.
Although Samuelson and
Jandreau were the spark plugs
of Ashland's attack, equal credit
belongs to John Reedy, Dommie
Provost and "Puss" O'Harra who
helped to set up the many plays
which baffled Klamath Falls.
The Pelicans scored the first
basket before the game was a
minute old but Ashland came
right back to tie It up. The lead
see-sawed with Klamath on the
top side of a narrow 13-12 bar-
gin at the end of the first quar
ter. In the second stanza Ash
land's power began to click and
the Grizzlies were enjoying a
20-14. bulge when the teams went
to the dressing rooms at the half
way mark.
It was the third quarter In
which Klamath really hit their
downfall with Ashland collect
ing 13 points before Klamath
could score. End of the period
favored Ashland 34 to 23. Klam
ath collected 10 points In the last
quarter while Ashland was
amassing 11.
In the preliminary game Ash
land Junior High whipped
Grants Pass frosh 32 to 18 in
a southern Oregon Junior high
conference tilt.
FOE SOUGHTTOR
Promoter Mack Llllard said
today he is looking for an oppon
ent to meet the Gray Mask In
the main event at Medford Arm
ory next Thursday night. Llllard
had planed to put the winner of
last night's Pete Bolesastro-Gust
Johnson match In With the Mask
but the bout ended In a draw.
Both want the match so Llllard
is is at a loss as to what to do.
Belcastro displayed a lot of his
former speed in gaining the draw
with Johnson and holds the up
per hand, LUlarJ said.
Jack Klser, coast light heavy
weight wrestling champion, will
be back on the card and Milt
Olson and Terrible Tony Ross
are scheduled to appear on the
program, according to the pro
moter.

WHERE YOU CAN
HELP
Colonel Fred G. Sberrill, Chief of the
Central Procurement Agency, says: MTo
turn to tie "West Coast industry to help
apply in this very critical situation a
largo oUupe of the urgently needed
hoard ind dimension lumber required
for boxing and crating to ship munition!
and food supplies overseas,"
IMMEDIATE ACTION must be taken
by every available man and woman
NOW. Do this:
1. Contact your local U. S.N Employment
office, Sixth and Fir Streets, In Medford,
and ask for assignment to .the logging
camp or mill of your choice, or apply for
Immediate employment direct.
2. Contact by telephone or In person all
the mills or camps In your vicinity to find
out the kind of help needod and
whether or not you can help meet thii
emergency.
TTOS IS A TOUGH TIME OF YEAR
FOR LOGGING- but remember, lt't
a tough time of year for the boyt at
the front toot Don't let 'em down!
MORE SHELLS-MORE
BOXES-MORE LUMBER
NEEDED NOW!
This is no time to let up . . . nor to
dream of the postwar world. Our boys
are fighting and dying in the bitterest
struggle of all time. They need more
ammunition. They need more lumber
for boxes and crates to ship that amrnu
' nition to the fighting front NOW is the
time to face the plain, unvarnished
facts -and ACT. Lumber needs total
over 9 billion board feet for the first
three months of 1913. At the present
rate of production, only 7i billion feet
will be manufactured.
Hiere is the worst bottleneck? It's
in manpower! Lack of manpower in
sawmills and logging camps. In many
cases unskilled help can be used. It is
up to every man and woman in this
critical wood-producing area to get into
the fight. WILL YOV HELP "PASS

Pacific coast baseball . league
directors today adopted their
fourth wartime schedule for the
1945 season, adding two weeks
to the 1944 slate In a 183-game
schedule to be played on 154
days between March 31 and
September 23.
The club owners, concluding a
two-day session, issued a recom
mendation backing League Presi
dent Clarence (Pants) Rowland,
former head of the Los Angeles
Angels, as a nominee to succeed
the late Kenesaw Landls as base
ball czar.
The directors failed to reach
an agreement on a proposed
$50,000 pot for players in the
four-team post-season governor's
cup playoff, hitting a snag when
they discovered clubs would
have to pay players' salaries as
well.
The league will sponsor tw6
all star games between north and
south teams for the benefit of
athletic service funds; promote
war bond days in all parks: and
play service teams and at defense
plants on off days. No change
was made in ticket prices.
Opening games, one week
earlier 'than in 1844, will find
Hollywood at Sacramento. Port
land at Oakland, San Francisco

Washington, Jan. 13 (U.R)
Night baseball will not be pro

order curtailing non-essential
uses of electricity to save coal,
an informed war production
board source told the United

The order, which WPB Chair
man J. A. Krug will issue some
time before February 1, will not
apply to -use of lighting for any
outdoor recreational activities,
the official said.
The news was welcomed by
baseball men, some of whom

electricity uses as a coal conser
vation measure, may eventually
have been extended to night
baseball.

O There are, of course, many
"hard to get" items in men's
clothing and accessories. We
have been fortunate in our market
connections and been able thus far
to supply most of the needs of our
southern Oregon patron We
feel, here at Uta's, that EVERYONE
should have an equal opportunity to
secure the scarce items needed
and that is why ALL merchandise at
this store is ON THE COUNTERS
and ON THE RACKS. There's no
merchandise under the counters or
set aside for so-called "privileged"
customers. We don't consider such
a policy fair and we're not going to
indulge in it at Utz's. So, if items
are scarce and we have them It will
be a case of "first come, first
served". Our old customers and new
will agree with us that this Is the
best and fairest policy.
