Net Loss Is Net Gain Hi, Fellers! tJSGUPERIAW TonlRht'i hoop tmttle between Ashland and the Pelicans also marks the more or less informal opening of Klamath's drive to obtain used athletic equipment to be used in the army camps in Washington and Oregon, r , Frank Ramsey, who is local chairman of the equipment drive, has been giving us the inside dope on athletic-minded, equipment lacking service men.

Stephenson of the First National Bank of Portland, i This committee will take used sports, equipment in any condi tion, repair it and dole it out to the local army boys.

Some tough splits were turned into spares with Virgil Tuter picking the 6-7, Bill Sayre get ting , the 5-6, Red Bussman brought in the 6-10-7 and Wil bur Telford getting the 5-10.

Battle Tops Pair of Wins Would Give Husky Fireballers Neat ' Working Margin for Title Northern division basketball teams will go into action on two fronts tonight and tomorrow night, with - closest attention focused on the Washington-Oregon contests in the Huskies' pa vilion at Seattle. Already out in frontv. by a half-game, a pair of victories would give Hec- Edmundson's fireballers a neat working mar gin in the conference race. The Huskies took two contests from Oregon on the Webfoot's floor, but only after the tightest type of struggles. j Oregon State, still very much in the struggle, goes to Moscow to engage tne win-hungry Uni versity of Idaho Vandals on the same nights. Don Durdan, spark plug of the Pacific Coast con ference champions, has been left behind in the college in firmary with a case of cnicken pox. Washington . State, only : half a game behind the Huskies and that because the Cougars have played fewer games, will be idle over the weekend but will play Oregon State Monday and Tues day at Pullman. Durdan, ac cording to latest reports, will miss tnose contests also. The outcome ol these games well may make the Washington Washington State series next Friday and Saturday at Seattle the really crucial struggle in the northern division race. At Seattle, action on Edmund- son s complaint that Roger Wiley, towering Oregon center, has been guilty of illegal de fense tactics, will not be taken until game time. Application of the 10-man rule also will be de cided just before the whistle. BASKETBALL EAST Long Island U. 6'J. Txas state 68. . SOUTH Washington and Lee 48. Hamndev flvrlnev 25.

When in Medford Stay at HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern Joe and Anne Earley Proprietors PAGE SIX Doctor Cunningham Sees Four-Minute Mile Soon One-Time 'King of Mifers' Looks Over ' Crop of Milers; Impressed by Haegg MT. VERNON, la., Jan. 29 whoso sinewy legs carried him any other runner, believes that the four-minute mile will be ac complished in the "not too distant future." The one-time "king of tho milers," now director of athlotlcs at Cornell college, said today that "some fast man among those coming up now will shario four minutes." Glenn missed the ultimate goal of all miters, but his 4:04.4 mark in a special race at Dart-' mouth in 1038 is the lowest in track history. It was not recog nized, however, as a world mark because he was paced during the race on r special indoor board track. Cunningham, discussing the present crop of milers, said he is impressed by tho records re ported on Guilder Hacgg, tho 24-year-old Swedish fireman whose 4:04.6 mark recently was accepted as the world outdoor record. Although he thinks Gilbert Dodds, the Boston theologian, is erratic, ' probably because ot psychological reasons, Cunning ham said Dodds' 4:13 race In the Sugar bowl competition was fast for this time of the year. "Maybe he can yet uncork the stem-windor," Glenn added. The "stem-winder" is largely a matter of psychology in Cun ningham's opinion. , "The first . man who runs a four-minute mile will have to believe he can do it," he de clared. . . The right ingredients are speed, endurance, pace-judge ment and intestinal fortitude, together with the psychological conviction of the runner that that is the day on which he can break the tape in record time," Cunningham explained. "There cannot be too much jockeying for position In the four-minute . performance. But it will be a competitive race. A man will have to be crowded to make it." Although retired from active competition, the former Kansas flyer continues as regular a routine of training as circum stances permit. During tho cross-country' sea son Glenn legged it over the roads with the Cornell harriers. There isn't another 4:04.4 mile in those famous legs, but the college boys still have to hustle to keep up with them. ' Medford Star Athlete Killed In North Africa MEDFORD, Jan. 29 ffl News of the death of Lieut. Robert B.

Dr. Glenn Cunningham,' over the mils rputo fastnr than Willie Pep Goes After Allie Stolz Willie Spots Srolx Six Pounds os He Trios for Fifty-Ninth Straight Win NEW YORK, Jan. 29 IP) Willie Pep goes aftor his 59th straight ring victory at Madison Square Garden tonight, and a goodly number of the 17,000 fans who are expected to witness tho bid think tlicro won't be quite enough pep for the Job. Tho Hartford youngstor, hold er of the Now York version of tho world featherweight title, will bo spatting Allie Stolz up to six pounds,' and among tho llttlo fellows that's qulto a bit, particularly if the bigger of the llttlo fellows has something called class. Which Stolz, on occasion, has in large quantity. The drawing force of the 10 round brawl has the Jacob's beachcombers scratching their noggins in puzzlement. Pep, al though winning handily in tak ing the title from tho vencrablo Chalky Wright in Pep's last ap pearance in the garden, was no ball of fire from an entertain ment standpoint, and Stolz also was no bargain in his Inst garden appearance. The explanation seems to be that it looks llko anybody's fight. So even docs the fight look on paper, in fact, that the bookies havo mode it 5 to 6 and take your choice. Pep, although his title is not at stake, has that long victory string to maintain, but ho will not be the only man in the ring who Is risking something, Stolz, if anything, Is risking even more. He's risking tho chnnco to stay up there with the top ranking lightweights. The Newark youngstor has thrown away two big chances to climb to the top of the light weight heap. If he loses now, to. a featherweight, ho might as well start getting his legs in shape. It will be a long climb up toward the top again. flOHTi By Tht Asaoolatad Prssa PIllUUKtPIIIA-Frankla Sala. lit, Phila delphia, knocknj out Jimmy Willis, lt, Wilmington, UH. (t).
