H Better Headgear Urged to Protect Football Players St. Louis, Jan. 9 U.R) Dr. Floyd R. Eastwood of Purdue University, who has made na tionwide surveys of football In' juries for 14 years, today asked that the N.C.A.A. push the de velopments of more protective grid helmets. Eastwood said If football equipment manufacturers couid produce head gear which would cut down cerebral hemorrhages, cause of 44.7 per cent of all grid deaths, most of his Job would be done. Although nine football fatali ties occurred during 1943, East wood said not one of them was in college football. It was the third time In four- years that death took a holiday from col lege gridirons.

PLAYER PIRACY OF ALL-AMERICA LOOP ATTACKED Chicago, Jan. 9 (U P) George Halas, a tough, two-fisted battler who took 23 years to build the present Chicago Bear football empire, adopted a tolerant atti tude toward the challenging All America conference today ex cept on one point "player pi racy." If the All-America want to develop its own stars from col legiate gridirons and become a major league alongside the Na tional Football league that way, Halas doesn't care one way or the other. But he warned the A.A.C. It Is headed for trouble if it persists in "robbing" National League teams. During his climb to the top, Halas has poured his entire fortune into the Bears organiza tion and has crushed numerous rivals In protecting it. He is prepared to do it again. HUBBELL WILL HANDLE YANKEE FARM SYSTEM New York, Jan. 9 (U.R) The New York Giants, apparently convinced that It is cheaper to develop players via a farm sys tem than to buy them at $175, 000 a crack, put their ex-southpaw star Carl Hubbell to work for another five years today at the big Job of directing their minor league clubs. HEIN QUITS Washington, Jan. 9 CUR) Center Mel Hcln of the New York Giants had reached the end of the gridiron trail as a player today.

'i annual convention in a speech charging that "finan cial pressure' is threatening toi destroy the purpose of intercol legiate athletics. May Halt Game The N.C.A.A. council asked Compton to be guest speaker at its dinner last night and the St. Louis University head pointedly told the nation's top college coaches and sports executives that "institutions that are in earnest about education" may be compelled to stop Intercollegiate games. Compton minced no words. Asking that colleges reorganize their sports plans, he said the "financial pressure to win games has many coach and college ex ecutive strain his conscience In employing athletes and urging students to devote to the game their time and their primary in terest that should have been re served for their studies. Ivy Loop Praised "If the heavy demand for in tercollegiate games as sports spectacles interfere with a pro gram of educational athletics, the Institutions that are in earn est about education will be com pelled to stop intercollegiate games," Compton continued. He praised the Ivy league for taking the first step in the de emphasis of collegiate sports. Sport Chips Harry Chipman Mall Tribune Sport Editor Probably the greatest collec tion of basketball stars ever as sembled on one team in this ter ritory makes up1 the Ashland Elks aggregation, heavy favor ites to win the Southern Oregon independent league. The Elks hurdled their first obstacle Mon day night when they toyed with the Medford Athletic association gang, a pretty fair team in their own right, to the extent of 52 to 15. Anyone under six feet tall on th Elks club is considered a midget and they have so many talented stars that thy can substitute whole teams without seeming to make any diffrnc in thair offensive or defensive ability. They are sparked by Chuck DeAutremont, a star for Eugene high school and Southern Ore gon College of Education prior to the war, and team manager Leonard Warren, who himself can play a neat bit of basketball. Tiny Jones, former Ashland high, SOCE and Fort Stevens i star, and Barney Riggs, all-state j forward from Ashland high, lend 1 a lot of support to the club. Then there are Ardie and Charlie War ren, Gerry Gastineau, Walt Lee, Lyle Massey, and Medford's , Dick Fawcett. Gastineau starred ! for Willamette University a few year ago and hasn't forgotten any of his basketball despite a hitch in the navy.

BY M'!!"l i inwil Medford, Grants Pass To Meet In League Hoop Opener Here Friday Medford hlgh'i Black Tornado and the Grant Pas Cavemen will clash on the Medford court Friday night in the Southern Oregon basketball conference opener. Medford has been de feated only by the powerful Longview quintet in pre-season play while the Cavemen can lay claim to a mediocre record so far this season. Grants Pass was pulverized by Klamath Falls in the Rogue Val ley invitational tournament and the Pelican in turn handed a defeat to Longview. Compara tive scores of the games put Medford the slight favorite on paper although the Cavemen are are others who range close to the stratosphere and have little trouble in finding the hoop. Th Elks have a date with the Klamath Falls Marines on th Medford high maple boards com Jan. 30 with the Jackson County infantile par alysis campaign to benefit by receiving th gross gat re ceipts. Ashland's independ ents, a coach' dream in any league, will have their hands full against the leathernecks and will undoubtedly find them a lot tougher than any Southern Oregon league com petition but its our guess they will b abl to hold their own with the boy from over th hill.
