Elected Head

CHICAGO, Nov. 28 (JP) Har
old (Red) Grange, who hasn't
been out of touch with football
since his hey-day as the "Gallop
ing Ghost" of the University of
Illinois gridiron, had another
football job today, and with it he
envisioned a possible "gridiron
world series" for the postwar
era. .
Grange yesterday was elected
president of the newly-organized
United States Football league.
Today he was making plans for
the day -when champions of the
various play-for-pay leagues can
get together in post-season
games to determine the world
champion.
. "I see no reason why there
cannot be two, three or even
four leagues over the country of
major caliber, and I feel confi
dent such a post-season series
would: be a big boon to the
game," he said in an interview.
"You can see what it has done
for baseball. - It would do the
same, for us."
Eight cities including Honoluluwere-
granted franchises
in the United States league yes
terday, and four more are ex
pected to be added before the
1945 season. Grange said. They
are: Chicago, Baltimore, Phila
delphia, Washington, New York,
AKron u., ana Boston.
Chiloquin Scheduled
For Triple-Header
. There was an error in the
story that appeared in the Herald
and News on Monday regarding
the triple-header basketball cir
cus that will be played tonight
starting at 6:30 p. m. on the high
school court. Chiloquin, and
not Coquille as was previously
stated, will participate in these
games.
The ! practice card calls for
Chiloquin, Henley and Merrill
to play against a large Klamath
hoop squad in that order. These
frays will give Coach Marble
Cook a good line on each of his
boys and what he can do under
pressure. This three-game ser
ies will be a big factor in select
ing ine iH44-4a .pelican basket
ball squad.
National Junior Tourney Talked
By RUSS NEWLAND
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 28 (!P)
Golfers special!
The men who make golf a
business proposition and I am
referring now to the profession
als, especially the members of
the professional Golfers associa
tion, foresee a tremendous boom
in the sport in postwar days . . .
They are preparing for it, too,
not only from the standpoint of
sale of equipment, tutoring of
new players and the construction
of courses, but in a long range
way.
Without having official ca
pacity in one proposition, the
PGA nevertheless is quietly lay
ing the foundation for a new
tournament that undoubtedly
will meet with widespread ap
proval . . This is something
within the province of the U. S.
Golf association but the fathers
of that group have been driving
with the brakes on for years
in other words they seem to be
unduly cautious in matters which
vitally affect the future of links
sport . . . They hesitate to make
a move until they have studied
the proposition from all angles,
appraised it from top to bottom
and up again and gone into in
numerable conferences.
Now we get down to the Im
portant part of this discussion
and it Is necessary to bring in
Fred Corcoran of Boston, who

have been run any better," he
said, "they sure took care of
us boys."
Sammy was not inclined to
be too enthusiastic over the
wet weather that prevailed up
until the final day of the Open,
however. "It was mighty wet
out there," he said, shaking his,
head.
Snead also confessed that he
wasn't yet really on his game
after his two-year layoff while in
the navy. It is very seldom that
a major golf tournament is
taken now with a score as high
as Samuel's was in this one, but
the wet weather, which slowed
up the greens immensely, and
tne admitted tact tnat the Fort
land course is a tough one. were
big factors.

NEW YORK. Nov. 28 (A)
Harold Newhouser, brilliant De
troit lefthanded pitcher, today
was named the most valuable
player in the American league in
1944 by a four vote margin over
teammate Paul (Dizzy) Trout in
the annual balloting of a 24-man
committee of the baseball Writ
ers' association.
The 23-ycar-old native of De
troit, who won 29 games for the
Bengals in one of the most
thrilling pennant races in base
ball historv, received 236 votes
to 232 for Trout.
Vernon (Junior) Stephens of
the pennant-winning St. Louis
Browns, whose 105 KBl's led the
circuit, finished third with 193
points. Far back were Second
Baseman George Stirmveiss,
sparkplug of the New York Yan
kees, loop leader in runs, hits
and stolen bases, with 129 points
one more than Dick Wakefield
who led the Tiger offense with
a .359 batting mark in 78 games,
after joining the club July 13.
Lou Boudrcau of Cleveland,
whose .327 mark made him the
first manager to lead the junior
circuit in batting, placed sixth
with 84, followed by Bobby
Doerr, Boston's .325 hitter, 75;
Stan Spence of Washington, 56;
and Nelson Potter, the Browns
19 game winner, 52. The Red
Sox s Bob Johnson rounded out
the first ten with 51 points.
