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. '
. , It seems the army makes no provision for such equipment,
thouizh the . navy and marine- : "
units havo their own funds.
Sportsmen in Portland, recogniz
ing' this fact, started the Service
Men's Athletic Equipment fund
to furnish the army boys in
Washington and Oregon with the
wherewithal to
indulee their fa-
vorite sDort.

hew equipment for the men.
Money orders should be made
out to Service Men's Athletic
Equipment Fund, C. B. Kilgore,

BOWtlNG
Classic league bowlers Wed
nesday night were hitting them
high and low, so this account is
blow by blow. Southwell Ac
countants rolled 3029 pins for
season high 3 game series and
took high single game with 1033.
Individual scores for the eve
ning were taken by Frank Dris
coll with a 3 game total of 608,
George Brown was next with
604 and Ott Ellis rolled 592 for
third. Single high game was
taken by Frank Driscoll with
236, Harry Bray next with . 215
and Wyn Southwell and George
Brown rolling 214.
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.
Bill Martin probably got the
most kick out of picking up his
favorite 5 pin split. This pin is
directly in the middle of the
alley, nice going Bill.
Doctor Rugh was bowling with
us Wednesday night, evidently
getting in .shape for his Friday

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.

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. '

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.
