GRADE SCHOOL CAOERS
Junior varsity basketball
games for Mcdford grade schools
Tuesday will see Lincoln play
ing at Roosevelt and Washing
ton at Jackson with opening
whistle scheduled for 4:15 p.m.
Eagles Book
Grants Pass
EhrIc Point, Feb. 6 Conference-leading
Grants Pass high
will be seen in action on the
Eagle Point high floor Tuesday
at 8:15 p. m. when the youths
coached by Shirley Callaghan
try to get back into the South
ern Oregon conference battle
with an all-important victory.
The Eagles currently are lead
ing the J-D-J conference with
an undefeated record but after
two opening SOL victories they
have had a little the worse of
the argument so far.
Giants Pass with its superior
height and size, not to mention
ability to floor two teams of rela
tively equal strength, probably
will be favorites tomorrow on
the Eagles floor.
However, Eagle Point has
shown it can be a tough custo
mer in view of its J-D-J record
and early Southern Oregon con
ference victories and undoubt
edly will give the Cavemen a
tough evening. Grants Pass is
undefeated in District 4 and
Southern Oregon conference con
tests. A prelim at 8:45 p. m, will
precede the varsity game.
House Of David Team
Uses Fishing Boat
To Keep Alaska Date
Ketchikan. Alaska. Feb. 8
(U.RI The House of David bas
ketball team could look on an
other "first" today as the
bearded squad was forced to use
a fishing boat to get to Mctnlak
alta. Alaska, for a scheduled ex
hibition basketball game.
The squad has been stranded
here since last Wednesday be
cause of snow-grounded airplanes.
ure of 204, also a record, in
spite of the fact that one Nation
al league club, Chicago, doesn't
play night ball at all.
Three Day Games
Owner Fred Saigh of the Car
dinals has virtually wiped out
weekday afternoon baseball
his town with only three such
games scheduled, all apparently
at the insistence of visiting club
owners who refused to go for
night games on these days when
their teams leave for another
city.
The breakdown of 77 Cardin
al home games reveals in add!
tion to the 54 night games, one
holiday doublcheadcr, 11 single
Sunday games and one Sabbatli
double bill, just five out of 12
Saturday afternoon dates (the
other seven being at night), and
those three lonesome little week
day games.
Those novelty occasions In St.
Louis will be on Aonl 20 witn
Pittsburgh, on May 3 with
Brooklyn and then not again un
til August 28 also with Brook
lyn.
Keeping Pace
All but two other National
league clubs are keeping pace
with the after-dark trend. The
Braves will play 37 night games,
the Phillies 30, the Pirates 25,
the Reds 24, and the Dodgers
21. The Giants are holding the
line against the "Inflation" stick
ing to 14 or Just two games with
each visiting club while the
Cubs, of course, have none at all.
The Washington Senators, with
43, and the St. Louis Browns,
with 38, head the American
league's night-ball partisans.
The Nationals will waste no
lime throwing the switch with
the Cardinals opener against
Pittsburgh on April IB,
Twin Bills Vary
The remainder of the opening
day card has Boston at New
York, Brooklyn at Philadelphia
and Chicago at Cincinnati.
Each team has 12 Sunday and
Saturday dates but the number
of scheduled double headers var
ies from tho Reds' 11 to Brook
lyn's one. The lone Dodger
double dale Is on Memorial day
and President Branch Rickey's
policy Is to play a morning-afternoon
double header and
charge two admissions.
The Braves and Reds like the
Cardinals also will experiment
with the Snturday-night-gainc
fad, Boston has scheduled five
such affairs and Cincinnati, two.

Harper Wins
Tucson Open;
Snead Second
Tucson, Ariz., Feb. 6 (U.R)
Chandler Harper, with his first
major victory in his poke after
16 years of trying, was talking
today about quitting the pro golf
tourney trail but maybe it was
Just talk.
"Now that I've finally won
one, I'm thinking seriously of
quitting the tournaments," said
Harper after picking up $2,000
first prize money in the Tucson
open with a 72-holc score of 267,
a total of 13 strokes under par.
Harper's statement was greeted
with laughter by hlnmmln bam-
my Snead. the West Virginia
star who finished In second place
with 269. Sammy reminded Har
per he's been saying the same
thing for 15 years.
Claims To Fame
Harper, 36 years old, had as
his previous claims to fame
world record of 18 holes of 58
set in 1941, a first place in the
1942 Miami four-ball along with
Herman Kaiser, and a loss to
Johnny Revolta In a first place
playoff in the 1938 St. Peters
burg open.
Harper bogeyed four holes and
blrdicd four on his out nine yes
terday. He blrdicd the final three
holes, however, for a two-under-
par 68, and top money.
Manuel dc la Torre, Chicago,
held the lead for three days and
started his final round two
strokes ahead of the field, but
went to pieces on the last 18
and shot a 73.

Bear Versus Dusette
Causing Excitement
Billy Fox will bring hii 450-
pound bear to town Thursday
night and the bruin's fight to the
finish match with Georges Dus
ette at the armory, is causing
no little stir among wrestling
followers. The animal Is said to
be much bigger (100 pounds, in
fact) than Leo Welch's bear
which was here several months
ago and also is said to be con
siderably meaner.
Fox, well known here as a fast
and clever wrestler, obtained the
bear about a year ago in Canada
and has devoted most of that
time to teaching him the art of
wrestling. Fox has offered Du
sette a bonus of $100 if he is able
to roll the animals shoulders to
the mat for a one count, a feat
which has been accomplished
only twice.
Fox will have his hands full
in the one hour opening match
when he takes on Jack Lipscomb,
Chandler Upholds
Signing of Petti
New York, Feb. 6 (U.R) The
Pittsburgh Pirates' right to sign
18-year-old Pitcher Paul Pettit
for a bonus of $100,000 was up
held today by Baseball Commis
sioner A. B. Chandler.
"There was no evasion of the
rules by the Pirates," Chandler
said. He added that the Pirates
were free to sign the young
southpaw because his class had
graduated from high school.
The signing had been chal
lenged because Pettit, a high
school phenomenon, was under
contract as an "actor and ath
lete" to Frederick Stephani of
Hollywood, Cal. It was with
Stephani that the Pirates had to
negotiate to obtain the young
pitcher.

The Great Atlas, who found
out today that he Is to occupy
the middle spot on the card, pro
tested bitterly to being billed

lard told him it would be that
or nothing. He meets Karl Gray
in another one-hour tussle.
