Spurs War Workers, Byrnes
Told Majors Plan Sea
son. Chicago, Feb. S (U.R)
Thirty of the nation's leading
steel executives, wnose compan
ies employ more than 250,000
war workers, proposed to War
Mobilization Director James F.
Byrnes today that "major sport
ing events, such as baseball, foot
ball and boxing, should be allow
ed to continue not only as an aid
but as a great stimulus to war
production."
A special 10-man committee,
representing the 30 major steel
and fabricating Industries, met
today and sent a letter to Byrnes
asking for an appointment with
him to plead their cause and the
cause of wartime sports all for
the benefits of increased output
of vital war commodities.
They believe that if major
sports were banned, or sharply
curtailed, war workers would
seek less desirable recreation,
thereby causing a hike In absen
teeism and a drop in production.

doubt that the scandal had failed
to affect the school's spirit.
Officially, none of the fresh
men are as yet members of the
college, since their term of en
rollment begins Monday. How
ever, the opposing Midshipmen
granted special dispensation be

TORNADO SWAMPS
BEND HIGH 51-20
FOR SECOND WIN
Medford high school's Black
Tornado swept a two-game
series with Bend high over the
Desert sduad 50 to 20 Friday
night and swamping the visitors
57 to 7 last night.
In the first game, Friday
night, Medford Jumped right off
to a running start and at the
end of the first quarter had run
up a 14-4 score. In the second
period, Bend outscored the Ti
gers, tallying 12 points while
holding Medford to nine, leav
ing the score 23 to 16 for Med
ford at the half.
But with that one spurt, Bend
had shot its bolt and it was all
Medford fsom then on. At the
end of the third quarter the
score stood 4-20 and Bend was
unable to locate the hoop again
in the last period.
High man for the game was
Larry Hayes, forward, with 14
points. Moore, guard, paced the
Bend squad with eight tallies.
Both coaches substituted freely,
and Medford's reserves played
a good portion of the last half.
In the second game of the
series, last night, Bend showed
the effects of three week-ends
on the road. Their play was
slow and there was considerable
fumbling.
Unable to penetrate the
man-to-man defense of the
Tigers, Bend scored only one
free throw in the first quarters,
while Medford was ramming
home 14 counters.
It was equally bad In the sec
ond period which ended 30-3.
At the end of the third stanza
Medford led 45 to 5. Again the
Tiger reserves saw considerable
action, playing all of the fourth
period and nearly all of the sec
ond. In both contests Bend showed
an inability to get their shifting
zone defense set before the fast
breaking Tigers were on top of
them, and in the play off the
backboard, the Tigers were in
almost perpetual control of the
ball.
Scoring honors were evenly
divided among the Tigers in the
second game, with Larry Hayes,
Jerry Ross, Bob Watson and
Earle Stelle each racking up 10
counters.. Hayes was outstand
ing on free throws, making four
out of five attempts in the eve
ning. Both teams, however, missed
many opportunities to score on
free throws as the Tigers had 12
free tries and Bend 16.
In the preliminary games, the
Medford high juniors defeated
Medford junior high 25 to 19
Friday night, and stopped Gold
Hill 41 to 23 last night, leading
all the way in both contests.

A. F. OF L BALKS AT
E
T
London, Feb. 3 (U.R) The
entire future development of the
world-wide trade union move
ment, is expected to be Influ
enced by what action is taken on
a proposed dynamic internation
al labor federation at the world
conference of trade unions,
which begins here Tuesday.
Two opposing factors among
delegates of some 45 allied and
neutral nations on the question
of an International Federation
are represented by a "conserva
tive group powered by Ameri
can Federation of Labor leaders
and an "International"' body
made up of Russian trade union
ists and delegates from such or
ganizations as the old Interna
tional Federation of trade unions.
A strong delegation of 35 men
and women from the Russian
Trade Union Movement already
has made it plain they have
clear-cut ideas on how such an
International Federation should
be constituted.
The AFL delegation, which
participated in the International
Federation of Trade Unions
Council, will be conspicuously
absent from the conference Tues
day. The body has steadfastly
refused to send representatives
because 1) Soviet Russia is par
ticipating m the conference; 2)
the Congress of Industrial Or
ganizations, its arch rival, will
be present; and 3) certain hostile
Roman Catholic trade unions
have been invited.

OREGON DEFEATS
WILIS IS STAR
Seattle, Feb. 3 (U.R) The
University of Oregon tightened
its grip on first place in the
northern division of the Pacific
Coast Conference tonight by
coasting to an easy victory over
the University of Washington,
S8-48, before a near capacity
crowd of 7,000 fans.
The defeat dampened the
Huskies hopes for unscrambling
the Conference standings, which
were brightened after their vic
tory over Oregon last night, 59
56. The Webfoots .stacked up an
11-0 lead in the opening minutes
before the faltering Huskies
could score. Oregon held a com
fortable lead. Unmenaced except
when Washington spurted to
within six points of the winners
late in the second half.
Dick Wllkins was Oregon's
main threat, his s c o r e of 19
points topoed only by Don Mc
Millan of "Washington with 20.
The ragged, rough playing wasJ
climaxed when Bill Vanden
burgh of Washington and Ken
Hayes of Oregon were benched
in the last minute for fisticuffs.

point lead. With one-and-a-half
minutes to go, Bill Carbaugh

dals stalled until the final gun.
