NO GRATITUDE
a singular incident occurred
Sunday afternoon at Moore park
when a 13-year-old boy and a
five-point buck
deer had a bit of
an altercation.
Buddy Mc
Kay, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Cecil
McKay, recently
of Phoenix,
riz., and now
of Klamath
"Ja lis, was
welching the an
imals In the zoo
at the p a r k in
llje company of
his Barents
when he noticed this particular
deer had its horns caught in the
wire fence and surrounding
brush.
! Being a kind youngster, ai
well an adTenturous ont. Bud
dy climbed the fence and after
considerable effort freed the
deer. The deer showed no appre
ciation for this act, however, and
proceeded to butt Buddy to the
ground where the youngster dis
played unusual resourcefulness
by grabbing the bull by the
herns, so to speak, in an attempt
tfc bulldog his opponent.
J The elder McKay, taking in
the situation, also climbed the
fence and -came to. Buddy's res
cue, holding the deer until his
son was able to make his escape.
The enraged deer still showed
considerable animosity to his
benefactors and McKay was
loathe to let go his hold for fear
the animal might turn on him,
Hut two marines present soon
Had the "situation well in hand."
Qne leatherneck tied his belt
ajound the deer's horns, enabling
apl the participants to take their
lipave with no further trouble,
i The quick thinking marine res
Aitd his belt and the party of
spectators left, with the deer still
irked and challenging one and
(11 to honorable battle.

until Friday and Saturday, when
it meets twicctrimmcd Iciaho.
Del Smith of Oregon took scor
ing honors last nigtit with 16
points while the Cougar defense
was concentrating on his team
mate, Bob Hamilton. No other
Oregonian got more than five
points, but Mort Joslin of WSC,
who tallied 15, had help from G.
Hamilton, who scored 12.
Washington State went in
front early in the game after
Oregon had enjoyed a brief 7-4
advantage, and remained in front
for the rest of the route, leading
24-19 at halftimc.
A late Oregon rally cut the
lead to one point, 35-34, late in
the game, but Joslin swished
three quick goals to carry the
Cougars out of danger.
While these clubs were bat
tling, word came from Seattle
that Washington, which operates
with civilians and navy trainees,
would not be able to use the
trainees on alternate Friday
nights. This means the service
men, including high scoring Don
McMillan, will be out of action
in the first Idaho game.

New Arrival at Barrack:
Holds World's Half-Mile
Roller Skating Record
A recent arrival at the Marine
Barracks is PFC Jack V. Cum
mings, the world's fastest man
on wheels. Cummings holds the
half-mile roller skating record,
having traversed a banked track
in Cleveland in 1.17:7.
That mark was- set in May,
1939,and still stands. - The old
record was less than two seconds
slower, 1.19:4.,,
Before the war Cummings was
a professional skater and travel
led with a troup which was
coached bv Set. Lcs Israel, also
of the Marine Barracks. The two
men met in a California hospital
not long ago for the first time in
several years, and neither had
known that the other was in the
Marine corps.
Cummings started making a
career of speed and fancy skat
ing in 1931, when he and a part
ner worked up a trick act that

4-F Studded Player Ranks
Major lisut At Matting;
Rule Changes to Be Talked
By JERRY LISKA
CHICAGO, Jsn, 9 (Pi The
first major sports pow-wow since
President Roosevelt's suggestion
fnr niitnnil work dratt. the
National football league opened
a four-day session today intent
on priming for what lt hopes will
be a fourth wartime season.
Foremost tonic will be the
manpower question, although ot
ficials of the 11-club circuit are
expected to spar in typical fash
ion over proposed rule changes,
drafting of new players, sched
ules and new franchises. They
may even hmuddle over the $25,-000-per
year contract of Commis
sioner Elmer Layden, now enter.
ing the final year or nis nve-sea-
son term.
Rut nnderlvinc all discussions
will be the momentous question
of whether the league's 4-F stud
ded player ranks will hold up
under a sharpened work-or-flght
edict recommended by the pres
ident.
Some observers believe pro
football is in better shape than
baseball to meet the projected
manpower clamp-down for the
simnln reason that it oDcrates on
a one-day-a-week basis and its
players can spend the rest of I
their time at essential jobs. In I
fact, many pros have been doing
that for the past two seasons.
Be that as it may, any appre- j
ciable reduction in the league's ;
4-F's would start a red light
flickering on the 1945 season.
Four representative clubs have
reported about 70 per cent ot
their 1944 players were 4-F.
There were around 310 players
who performed last season
which indicates that perhaps as
many as 200 4-F's are wearing
the cash-and-carry colors.
Among 21 recommended rule
changes is a revolutionary sug
gestion that the try for extra
point be abolished and tied
games be settled by a "sudden
death" overtime.

performed on a floating dock in

Right now, Cummings is scout
ing the barracks for a partner,
and he hopes to be able to put on
shows here. The partner should
be able to skate fairly well al

pounds, and have a good sense of
balance, Cummings can teach
him the rest of the routine.

Mexican halfback on Marquette's

told him, and was flabbergasted

Balmy Basketball
r3 y:Hr,i
NEW YORK, Jan. 9 (P) This
corner won't attempt to say
who s right or wrong in the cur
rent argument about profession'
al baseballers playing college
basketball, but when It results
in tossing harsh names at a good
guy like Dan Ferris, the whole
thing makes us mad . Dan has
been taking unfair raps for years
merely because AAU business Is
transacted through his office . . .
He thoroughly agrees with the
AAU theory thai a professional
athlete can't also be an amateur,
but he didn't put the finger on
the Hamline basketball team be
cause of that , . . When someone
started asking questions. Ferris
gave them the answers right out
of the AAU rule book and he
couldn't change the rules it he
wanted to . . . When you come
right down to it, the ruling that
the cagers involved are ine'lgible
for AAU competition won't mean
a thing to 99 per cent of them
because they won't ever want to
enter an AAU event.
WAS HE KIDDING?
At the recent Blue-Gray foot
ball jamboree in Montgomery,
Ala., someone asked Charley
Trlppl, the former Georgia star
now with the. army's third air
force, about his plans for post
war athletics . . . Trippi, who has
two years of college eligibility
left, didn't even bat an eye as
he replied: "I'm going to play
