top half of a double main event
wrestling program, Belcastro is
really peeved at the ebony tough

and figures to get even tonight
at any cost.
Jones demanded an exorbitant

cided he would be unable to put
on the match. But Belcastro
wanted the go so badly he was
willing to give Jones most of his
purse to arrange the battle.

BASEBALL VOTED
BY BIG LEAGUES
Chicago, Dec. 13 U.R Al-
bert B. (Happy) Chandler, assur
ed of his position as the most
powerful figure in organized
baseball was determined today
to remove the tarnish which has
accumulated on the commission
er's name since he took the job
last April.
"I believe a few mlsundcr
standings were straightened out
at the Joint meeting, ' Chandler
said, "and I'm on the dead level
to make the commissioner re
spected throughout the nation."
Minors Rebuffed
Chandler's newly-gained con
fidence stemmed from the joint
session of the National and
American leagues yesterday. The
16 club-owners closed out their
annual winter meetings by re
buffing the minor leagues and
supporting the congenial Ken
tucklan on every controversial
question.
Happy emerged from his
first real test as a powerful fig
ure. His votes decided two issues.
Including unlimited night base
ball. And the owners, In full re
spect of his Judgment, backed
him to the hilt against minor
league proposals which the com
missioner had termed "obnox
ious," "illegal" and "unfair" dur
ing the minors' meetings at Co-
umbus, Ohio, last week.
Player Bonus Tabled
On other legislation, the ma
ors backed Chandler by voting
to:
1. Keep the $30,000 promotion
fund in the hands of the commis
sioner and the promotion com
mittee. (The minors had asked
that it be divorced from Chand
ler's office.)
2. Table for future action the
minors' proposal to outlaw bon
uses to players at the time for
signing. (Chandler was against
It and the owners reipected his
Judgment although the bill was
scheduled to be passed.)
3. Extend the major-minor
league agreement, baseball's con
stitution, until January 12, 1947
The owners also voted the cus
tomary $20,000 to the American
Legion baseball program, and
ruled that no high school player
can be signed until after gradua
tion or until one year's absence
from school.
National Hockey
League Tightens
By United Preit
The National Hockey league
race, a tight four-team affair
since the season started was

night which moved Detroit Into
second place and tied Boston
with Chicago for third place.
Detroit was only two points
one game in back of Montreal
and the third-place teams were
one point behind the Red Wings.
Other teams were idle.

FOR Tl GAMES
Eugene Axemen, with five
games under their belts, will go
against an untested Medford
high team here Friday and Sat
urday nights on the Medford
high school court. District six
winners last year, Eugene has
been picked to repeat this sea
son and boast a fine club made
up of basketball veterans.
Coach Al Simpson of the
Medford Black Tornado said
this morning that his team
didn't look too sharp after only
eight days of practice. The boys
are not In peak physical condi
tion yet, which might mean the
difference between winning and
losing the opening series, Simp
son said.
Jim Cave, first string guard,
Is bothered with shin splints
and was to have gone to a doc
tor today. Simpson said it was
doubtful If Cave would be In the
starting lineup Friday night
Don Waldron, lanky reserve,
will be out for a week with Ill
ness. Can Koicn, wno sutterea
a fractured ankle the first day
of practice, will not be ready to
go until after first of the year.
Simpson said the team went
through a hard practice last
night but will be given only a
light workout tonight. Game
time is 8 p. m. with a 7 o'clock
preliminary.
FORT WORTfTOPEN
10 START FRIDAY
Fort Worth, Tex., Dec. 13
(U.R) Golfdom's golden boys,
the play-for-pay professionals of
the winter tournaments, were
here today for the $10,000 Fort
Worth open and the question the
tourney will answer was this:
What effect will Byron Nel
son's long layoff from tourna
ment competition have on his
game?
Golf's greatest money winner
of all time has been taking
things easy for weeks at his
farm home near Denton, Tex.,
north of here while other top
flight golfers have been keeping
their games tuned with constant
competition.
Nelson's last tournament was
at Tacoma, Wash., three months
ago. Since then he has played
less than 27 holes of practice
golf.
tven so, Nelson will be co-
favored with little Ben Hogan,
his one-time fellow Fort Worth
caddy, in the 72-hole medal play
tourney starting tomorrow.

Colleges Are Permitted To
'Interview' Athletic Stars
San Francisco, Dee. 13 (U.R)
The Pacific coast conference re
laxed its rigid sports code today
to permit college representatives
to "Interview" prospective ath
letes, and ruled freshmen eligi
ble for the 1946 football season.
Conference faculty represen
tatives, in revising the "Ather-
ton code" that has guided coast
college athletes for six years,
placed the penalty for prosylet
ing upon the schools rather than
upon the athletes, as in the past.
Frosh Rule Waived
Since the code was established
In 1940, many athletes had been
barred from competition at various-
Pacific coast conference
universities because they had
been "contacted" by alumni or
by the college Itself. "Contact
ing," under the old rule, includ
ed even discussions with alumni
of a particular school.
The faculty representatives,
concluding their three-day meet
ing here, pointed out that any
violations of the code indicating
outright prosyletlng still would
be rigidly enforced, however.
Waiver of the freshman rule
was retained until June 30, 1947,
permitting first-year men to
compete throughout the 1946
football campaigns.
Transfer students who have
been in service also were de
clared immediately eligible for
sports competition at any uni
versity they attend but once
enronea cannot transfer again
without loss of a year's eligi
bility. Other Developments
Other developments of the
conference meeting:
(1) There will be no PCC
track and field meet this spring,
but north-south basketball play
offs will be resumed. Finals will
be held in California this year.
(2) The 10-man restriction on
basketball traveling squads was
lifted.
(3) Victor Schmidt, Los An
geles, acting conference com
missioner, was retained through
August, 1946. Referee Thomas
Fitzpatrick was made full-time
assistant to the commissioner for
a one-year term.
(4) R. H. Nottelmann, Cali
fornia, was elected president of

DIRECT ELECTION of U. S. Senators and
the legislative right of Initiative Referendum Recall
are tools of a democracy held by all Oregonians.
It was not always so.
Oregon's representatives to the U. S. Senate at one
time were selected by the State legislature. The Grange
aided In changing this to direct vote of the people . . .
Initiative, Referendum and Recall are legislative rights
belonging to all Oregonians largely through concerted
efforts of the Oregon State Grange.
Projects of this nature are as vital a part of Grange
cavities is better agriculture itself. That is why 28,000
progressive farmers belong to the Oregon State Grange
why membership continues to grow why the Grange is
a dominant force for social progress.
