EVENT OF
DRAWS INTEREST
Tomorrow night's wrestling
struggle between Gust Johnson
and the Gray Mask is drawing
considerable attention from
local mat enthusiasts, according
to Promoter Mack Llllard who
has signed the pair to appear in
the top main event of his weekly
Medford Armory program.
Johnson, who asked for the
bout, was given preference over
Ernie Piluso of Portland, also
seeking the contest, because of
bis incredible showing here for
the past several weeks. Johnson
has lost but one match, later
squaring accounts, and two
weeks ago held Pete Belcastro
to a draw. Belcastro and the
Mask went to draw last week.
Tony Ross will be out to even
" things with Jack Riser when
they come together In the semi
windup. They met recently in a
match that bad customers stana
lng in their chairs before the
bout was awarded to Kiser on a
foul because Ross refused to re
linquish a choke hold.
Piluso, who was defeated In his
last appearance here, agreed to
Lillard's proposition that he
start at the bottom to earn a shot
at the Mask. He will collide with
Milt Olson In the three round
opener which will go to the mat
t 8:30.
Prospect high's basketball
quintet chalked up their second
win over Butte Falls last night
when they edged. out the Log
gers 17 to 15 in an overtime pe
riod. It was a nip and tuck
game all the way with halftlme

ular playing period ending IS

Of Wartime Sports Picture
By Jack Cuddy
United Press Correspondent
New York, Jan. 24. (U.B
The wartime sports situation at
tained new heights of confusion
today, due to the following
hodgepodge of fact, report and
rumor:
(1) President Ford Frlck of
National league disclosed that
major league club owners will
decide at their New York meet
ing, Feb. 3, whether club owners
will be able to open the 1945
season, under existing condi
tions. (2) A well-informed Washing
ton source tipped us that Col.
Larry MacPhall may be appoint
ed national sports coordinator
on Feb. 10, when he obtains
inactive army status, although
he docs not want the job.
(3) A certain New York rack

(4) A person who Is closely
acquainted with both President
Roosevelt and Jimmy Byrnes,
director of war mobilization,
insists that these two gentlemen
desire professional sports to con

both are dead set against partici

made at the Feb. 3 meeting ac
centuates the gravity of the
major league situation. It was
their first intimation from any

CM. MINEAR IS
BACK FROM DUTY
IN PACIFIC AREA
Captain Robert C. Mlnear,
son of Mrs. Jessie M. Minear of
Route 1, arrived In Medford
early Sunday morning from
overseas service and will enjoy
a 21-day furlough with his fam
ily and friends.
Capt. Minear has completed
34 months in the southwest Pa
cific area. He was among the
first American troops to land
at Port Moresby, New Guinea,
and participated in four major
campaigns in and around this
area. In October he sailed with
Gen. Kreuger's 6th army into
the Philippines, landing on
Leyte Island,
Capt. Minear entered active
military service in June, 1941,
immediately after being com
missioned a second lieutenant
at Oregon State College of
which he is a graduate in the
Engineers' Department.
He was met in San Francisco
by his wife who, with their son
Philip, have been making their
home with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Robert C. Maris, of Smith
River, Calif., during Capt.
Minear's absence.
After a short visit here they
went to visit, their son whom
Capt. Minear has never seen and
will return later for a longer
time with relatives and friends
here.
Upon the expiration of his
furlough Capt. Minear will re
port to the Santa Barbara Re
habilitation center from which
place he will receive his re
assignment. Mail bag: A letter from Pri
vate Buck, still in the Marianas.
He enclosed a 10 yen note which
he said had been taken from a
dead Jap December 7th. "You
asked me what the boys like to
hear about. The main thing is
any hint we can get about when
we are to be allowed to go home.
That is discussed from the time
we get up until hours after
we've gone to bed. My own time
out here will be up In 130V4

if you please, but we can never
hear too much about those we
know in theatres of operation.
Families writing to their boys
should write as much as they
can about the dog; or horses, if
they have them. All the boys are
afraid things will be changed
when they get back. They don't
like to thing about that. They
are afraid they won't fit In. And
there's no such thing as enough
letters. Especially those about
home and members of the fam
ily. They like to know every
little detail. I know I do. Also
they like to hear about the fac
tory or plant or store or mill
where they worked before they
went Into the service.
"Our Christmas this year
wasn't so hot. For most of us it
was the third Christmas out
here. Our Christmas dinner was
good yet the men just came in
and ate like it was any other
meal, get through it as quickly
as they could and went back to
their tents. There was no sitting
around the table and talking as
there should have been."
So goes the last letter from
Private Buck. He mentioned one
other thing. He says the favorite
radio singer of all the boys Is
a Lena Machado; that they can
never hear, too many songs sung
by her. I am not familiar with
this singer of Hawaiian songs
but I mean to become so. If she
pleases the GI's, I'm sure she's
worth' hearing,
