Washington Redskin Owner Walks Out
Of Professional Grid League Session
By JERRY LISKA
CHICAGO, Jan. 11 Ml The
abrupt adjournment of the Na
tional Football league's annual
meeting has focused the dim

light on baseball.

PAUL HAINES
BETTING ROLLS ON
With the closure of every
horse and dog race track in the
United States, the boys who like
to play it the
hard way are
reported to be
laying the old
lettuce on the
line by wager
ing on the out
come of the bas
ketball tilts put
on at Madison
Square Garden
in New York.
Every effort
is being made to
hold the betting
HAINES
down, wnn a
fiiimshne behind
every pillar,
hut still it rolls on. This seems
to bear out our contention that
if the American public wants to
bet, it's going to bet no matter
what the odds against it.
As far as that's concerned, all
ens has to do is aet a blanket, a
wail and a pair of educated cubes
to have a rare old time with the
moola. The galloping bones will
do the trick or, if you feel more
inclined to the pasteboards, a
fast game of stud, draw or "21"
will be eminently satisfactory.
If you feel yourself to be a
fairly larga operator, the fasci
nating game ot roulette supplies
the answer, and so on down the
line. There are probably more
gambling devices and games in
the good old USA than there are
alphabetical government agen
cies and, brother, that's a lot in
any bookies' book.
The ban on racing was largely
concerned with rectifying the ab
senteeism problem in essential
war plants to our way ot tninifr
ing, and officials were not so
greatly worried over the fact
that the American people were
claying the races hot and heavy,
This, of course, entered into
the picture, but more as a back
ground to the main issue than as
the foremost factor. Now that the
tracks are no longer available,
people are seeking other ways to
lay the geetis on the line, and
we'll lay six, two and even they

Marines Set
For Navy cat
Tilt Saturday
Saturday night the sports fans
of Klamath Falls will be given
an opportunity to witness the
second basketball game of
home-and-home series between
the Willamette Navvcats and
the Leatherneck caeers from the
Marine Barracks. Civilians may
attend the game free of charge if
they are accompanied by a ma
rine, with the fracas getting un
derway ai a p. m.
The marines, paced by "Rod"
Gilbert, were 41 to 36 victors in
the first tilt played at Salem last
Saturday. Marine Coach Les Is-
rael has built up a strong zone
defense around Gilbert in an ef.
fort to again stop the 'Cats. Duke
irouer, Willamette mentor, is
expected to use a man for man
aetense against the Leatherneck
five to offset the height advant
age enjoyed Dy tne marines.
The marine caeers will he eiv.
en a lift with the return of Leon
ard Burkland, high scoring for
ward, and Israel believes that
the return of Burkland to the
roster will add 10 markers to the
Leatherneck score. A former
North Park college, Chicago,
eager, the flashy Burkland led
the marine quintet in scoring
honors until he was held to eight
Points by towering Ken ' Huvs,
Webfoot center, at Eugene three
weeks ago.

By
ball moguls adopted a wait-and-o
nnlirv which the major
league baseball league's can't
match.
The baseball season begins
some six months ahead of the
football season, a fact painfully
evident to baseball owners who
have little time to mull over the
proposed national work draft
and 4-F crackdown before they
meet in New York February 3.
No official explanation for the
sudden adjournment of a four
dav session scheduled to last
through Saturday was given by
the football league representa
tives. But they agreed' to assem
ble again in New York for the
first week of April for their an
nual player draft and schedule
making.
It was apparent, however, that
the delegates realized they pick
ed a most inopnortunc time to
hold the first draft meeting ever
scheduled in January. In previ
ous years it was held in April.
This year's meeting date had
been scheduled long before War
Mobilizcr Byrnes put the finger
on 4-F athletes and President
Roosevelt recommended a na
tional work draft.
. One of the league coaches who
asked anonymity, probably ex
pressed the attitude of all con
cerned, save Marshall, in this
way:
"It's a wise move. We are Just
like the rest of the public
don't know a thing about what
part Uncle Sam wants us to play
in helping to win the war. Until
the government's wishes and de
sires are announced. I plan to
sign up every able- bodied play
er I can find in the best interests
of my team and professional
football's future.
TTou can always quit and n
Washington tells us to, we will."

Count on Kiser
Trainees
Friday Eve
row night against the Univer
sity of Idaho.
Idaho, plus the rest of the
northern division, had high
hopes of pinning a defeat on the
division leaders' civilian-freshmen
lineup, but Capt. Eric Barr,
commander of the V-12 program
on the Washington campus sud
denly set aside the ruling that
trainees could play only on al'
ternate Fridays.
The freshmen squad would
have been no pushover for the
Vandals. The youngsters were
able to hold their own in the
Astoria hoop jamboree and have
shown flashes of real ability,
Availability of the trainees,
however, will be a double bless
ing to Washington's Hoc Ed
mundson, allowing him to use
his trainees, powerfully but
warked by the civilians. The
Huskies and Vandals meet again
Saturday niglit.
Oregon, with a record of three
wins in four starts, meets twice
beaten but potentially powerful
Oregon State Saturday.

half and 43-20 at the end of the

serious attempts at the noon ana

Pelicans
Drill Hard
For Ashland
Klamath Will Bo At Full
Strength For Opening Fray
Of Conference Cage Season
In preparation for their open
ing of tho conference cage sen
son with Ashland Friday and
Saturday night, the Klnmuth
Pelicans went at it in earnest
Wednesday in a fast scrimmage
session.
Bill Alexander looked good in
setting up scoring plays and in
screening maneuvor s, while
Clarence Bussinan did some nice
work under the basket. For the
cage series with the Grizzlies,
Coach Marble Cook will carry
11 boys including Bob Perkins,
Jim Norccn, Jerry Thome, Jim
Palmer, Jim Pope, Joe Zarosln
ski, Bob Redkey, Bud Blohn,
Larry White, Bussmim and Alex
ander. Perkins was absent from Wed
nesday's practice and Cook tried
using Norcen and White al
guards, Thome at center, and
Palmer and Pope at the forward
positions. This combination
proved effective and operated
smoothly on the fast break of
fense employed by the K-inen.
The Pelicans will leave Fri
day noon for their two-game ser
ies with the Grizzlies and Cook
will start his regular five with
Perkins and Norccn at guards,
Thome at the key-hole slot, and
Palmer and Perkins at forwards.
Up until now. it has been the
case with the Klamath five that
one boy would be hot nnd tho
rest a trifle cool with this heat
alternating among tho boys
throughout the game. If the
Pelican cagers can all catch afire
at one time against the defend
ing state champs, they may bring
two Ashland scalps back to
Klamath Union high school.
Mrs. Crosby Said

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 11 (VP)
Some improvement in the con
dition of Mrs. Bing Crosby, who
was rushed to a hospital yester
day with a threat of pneumonia,

Larry Crosby, Bing's brother.
Larry said she was still un
conscious at times, and that
during conscious periods she
complained o f pains i n her
chest and arms. He added that
some fluid had been pumped
from her lungs. Mrs. Crosby
was reported to have been
placed in an oxygen "tent for a
time last night.
