10,000 Sports Editors Cooperate
In Campaign to Fight Paralysis
NEW YORK, Dec. 18 Draft- worst years in history. Since
ing of 10,000 high school coaches
and college athletic directors in
the 1941-42 "Fight Infantile Par
alysis" campaign is underway.
Grantland Rice, chairman of
the sports council of the commit

scholastic and collegiate leaders
to join the war against the dread
ful disease. Each was asked to
dedicate one sports event this
winter to the "Fight Infantile
Paralysis" campaign.
"Never before," said Rice in
his plea, "has the need for aid
in the fjght against infantile
paralysis been greater. Epide
mics raged throughout our na
tion this year indeed, we have
just come through the three
1939, more thin 26,000 of our
youth have been struck down
many of them athletes."
Pointing out that the sports
world has played a generous role
in previous birthday celebration
campaigns. Rife said that this
year s must be the greatest char
ity drive in sports history.
"Of course, I fully realize
many appeals are directed at you
by various war relief societies
these days," Rice wrote. "Al
though we must not let these
pleas go unanswered, we should
not forget the first line of our
national defense is the health of
our children. Regardless of any
thing else, it is up to us to 'help
the youngster around our own
corner."' :

Greatest Match Game Bowler
Beginners often Insist that a
straight ball is easier to control
and gives more accuracy.
"Baseball pitchers don't fool
around with fancy stuff when
they're in a hole," they say.
"They pour in that fast one."
If a straight ball was as ef
fective as a hook, the argument
might hold. But it is not.
Practically all outstanding
bowlers use the hook because of
its high strike percentage.
Studying the diagram of a set
of pins, you readily see why a.
hook nas me advantage of an ex
tra pin falling. The ball comes
into the pocket at practically
right angle.
A hook aives tha howler a
wider pocket at which to shoot.
fewer splits result.
A hook is not a riltfimlt in
control as beginners suspect. It
is a matter of knowing how
much your ball will break on a
particular alley.
A straight ball that is on the
head pin has a high split poten
tial. A hook ball, on the other
hand, gives a lot more pin ac
tion, or "wood." Often a hit
that is somewhat off line will
bring an unexpected number of
pins.
After developing a smooth ap
proach and delivery, the novice
should practice the hook as a
means to better, more enjoyable
bowling.

Washington State Cagers Look
As Potent As 1941 Champions
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This Is the
first of a series of stories on
northern division Pacific coast
conference basketball prospects.)
By GAIL FOWLER
PULLMAN, Deo. 18, (AP)
Washington State college's Cou
gars, the team they'll all be
shooting at In the northern di
vision Pacific coast conference
basketball chase this winter, is
going to be another shooting
team, so don't forget to duck.
The Cougars, who won the
western Intercollegiate basket
ball championship this spring,
and who lost to Wisconsin In
the one-game playoff for tho
national cage title, look just
about a potent as they did last
season.
They've lost some valuable
men, but they still have Cap
tain Kirk Gebert of Longview
to spark 'em, and In pre-season
games thus far, Gebert has done
just that. He's small but able
and will enrry the brunt of the
Cotignrs' fast-broaklng offense,
being the chief ball handler on
practically every play.
Chuck Dosskey of Vancouvor
shapes up as the other guard,
but he's getting a terrific bat
tle from another Longview lad,
Scott Witt.
Gall Bishop, six foot three
inch center from Sumas, is a
sophomore who seems to have
taken over the tlpoff post left
vacant by graduation of the
lunky Llndeman. Jim Zimmer
man from Yakima, playing his
third year, may still get the
job, though.
Mary GUberg, lanky forward
from Lewis and Clark, Spo
kane, was last season'H out
standing sophomore. He's a
dead shot, an excellent one
hander from tha sides or the
center slot, and has a very fast
break.
Then there's Bob Sheridan,
an Atherton purges from Ore
gon, who may earn a starting
call.
Another prospect is Johnny
Hooper, following in the foot
steps of his older brothers,
Pete and Frank, who has a won
derful setshot in practice, but
who hasn't been tested under
fire. Hes a little slow but
Coach Jack Frlel is remedying
this. Hooper consistently pots
20 longles out of 23 in prac
tice.
The Cougars won the north
ern division and coast confer
ence playoff before taking the
western crown and losing in the
national finals last winter. This
year Frlel says he principally
"fears" Oregon State and Wash
ington. (Tomorrow: Oregon State.)
