LIPSCOMB SEEN TARGET
il. GANG FIGHT TONIGHT
Jack (Buck) Lipscomb, who !
probably the most hated muscle
mangier ever to set foot In a
wrestling ring, will probably be
th target of the other five In
the gang fight which Inaugur
ates the 1946 wrestling season
at Medford armory tonight, be
ginning at 8:30. The jaw smash
ing and bone crushing artists
will have to reckon with Pete
Bolcastro and Earl Malone
while taking care of Lipscomb.
A trio of smoothies, Angelo
Martlnelll, the Buckeye beauty;
Hnrb Parks, Canadian cham
pion; and Gust Johnson, ex
eoent Junior heavyweight king,
will be dishing out a lot of pun
ishment to the "meanie" Bggre
gntion while the roughnecks at
tempt to annihilate each otncr.
The match marks Malone's
return to southern Oregon mat
wars following a trek to his na
tive midwest. The burly gent

will be for three rounds or one I

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.

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

Trenton, N. J., Jan. 9 U.R)
Lightweight Champion Ike
Williams claimed the distinc

boxer ever to "knock the
stuffing" out of an opponent
and his boxing glove at the
same time.
The Incident of the wrecked
glove highlighted Williams 10
round decision last night over
Charley Smith of Newark,
N. J., In the first round Wil
liams pummcled Smith so vig
orously that the padding came
out of one of his gloves, which
were brand new before the
bout.
Another glove was submit
ted but Connie McCarthy,
manager of the National Box
ing Association lightweight
titleholder, protested. He said
that it was of a different type
and weight than the one on
Williams' other hand. The
bout was delayed nearly 15
minutes until a complete new
set of gloves could be obtained
for both fighters.

SAID THREAT TO
COLLEGE SPORTS
St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 9 (U.R)
Leaders of the National Colle
giate Athletic Association, In the
midst of plans for a record sports
season, were balked today by
the stern accusation of "over
emphasis" from one of the na
tion's foremost educators.
Dr. Arthur Holly Compton,
chancellor of Washington uni
versity here, dropped a mild
bombshell In the midst of the
N.C.A.A. '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.

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

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

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.
