Favored Over Klamath
Cook Confident K-Men Will Upset
Medford In First Fracas Tonight
The Pelican starting lineup
for Friday night's clash with
the fierce Black Tornado from
Medford is still indefinite.
Coach Marble Cook has been
working all week to find a suit
able combination to throw at
the Medford five, but has not
yet made up his mind which it
will be,

HAINES
. PHEXIES SAY NO
College presidents, who bear
all the responsibility for intercol
legiate athletics, are not very
strong lor loot
ball, ; according
to a sports poll
conducted by
Esquire maga
zine. The Esquire
poll surveyed
campus heads
throughout the
country and
found that 52.39
per cent of them
do not hope to
see football
pome back after
the war on the same scale that it
enjoyed before Pearl Harbor. In
virtually all the questions in the
poll in which the value of foot
ball was the issue, the college
bluenoses varied with the popu
lar views of the public, and on
the negative side.
Wa assume the reason for this
attitude on the part of the col
leas heads - is essentially jeal
ousy. For instance, football
coaches are usually paid higher
salaries than other faculty mem
bers. --
On the question, "Do you be
lieve that there is any lustiuca-
tion for the salaries of football
coaches being higher than the
pay of other faculty members,"
the presidents voted 78.26 per
cent no." The vote of the public
was 67.69 per cent "yes."
It is natural to assume that the
prexies have no desire to cut
their own throats, so to speak,
and thus their vote was over
whelmingly "nay." But to our
way of thinking, a good grid
mentor is a mighty scarce article,
while chemistry professors, and
the like, grow on trees and may
be had for the picking.
For example, it is not every
day you run across a Knute
Rockne or a "Pop" Warner,
while you may run into Profes
sor Higglebottom almost every
day. We mean to cast no asper
sions on the good prexies, but are
merely trying to make our point
clear.:
So, if we were forced to make
a choice between a good college
prof and a good football coach,
we are afraid the prof would be
out in the cold, cold rain. Good
football coaches are too hard to
find!

Oklahoma Buckaroo
Takes First Money
In National Rodeo
DENVER, Jan. 19 UP) Vic
Schwarz, a husky buckaroo from
Lawton, Okla., rode off with
: first money last night in the Na
tional Western Livestock show
rodeo after he polished off a
bundle of twisting horseflesh
named T-Joe in the saddle bronc
riding event.
An added sparkle' was given
the night performances of the
bronc busters since several were
rated high up in the National
Rodeo Association of America
tabulations tonight.
Night results included:
Raddle bronc riding Schwarr,
Bill Linderman, Red Lodge,
Mont., and Jack Wade, Halkirk,
Alberta, Canada.
1M Tim wrtrlr of TV-an Mason
has been so outstanding of late,
however, that it has settled
down to a dogfight between the
two lads for the starting assign
ment.
rim Pnnn nnH Jim Palmer
will definitely get the nod from
Cook for the forward berths,
but the backcourt positions are
in doubt with a race developing
among Jim Noreen, Larry
white and bob ferKins ior me
two guard slots.
Whichever combination starts
Ilia hall nnmo will have to ulBV
the best basketball of its life to
bounce the Medford quint, as
the Tornado has picked up ve
locity with every fray and now
perches securely on the lop
rnnit nf the Southern Oregon
conference ladder.
The Klamath cage squaa nas
looked the best it has all year
this past week, however, and

TUCSON. Ariz.. Jan. 19 (P)
The red hot putter of Johnny
Revolta waved a danger signal
for favorites Byron Nelson, To
ledo. O.; and Sam Snead, Hot
Springs, Va., at the start today
of the $5000 Tucson golf Open.
The curly-haired Evanslon,
111., pro veteran whipped over
the 18-hole El Rio (The River)
County club course yesterday
with a 65 five under par to
share in the pro-amateur prize.
Johnny's putter, which be
comes a magic wand on occa
sion, worked to perfection as
he sank seven putts of more
than 10 feet. ' ,
He was closely pressed for
top honors by a trio of play-
lor-pay goners wno snot Hb.
iney were Denny Shute, Akron,
O., veteran, and two Detroiters
Sam Byrd and Claude Harmon.

tho Leatherneck cagcrs will

The Skyniasters are expected
to arrive tonight from Vnllcjo,
Calif., and boast nn impressive
record. They have won 14 tilts
and dropped five to date, with
nil games being plnvcd In the
classy San Francisco league.
The five frays the Skvinasters
lost were by less than five
points and they will be out to
revenge themselves for the 14-
12 defeat they suffered nt the
hands of the marine grid eleven
last fall at Vallejo.
Oakie rates as high-scorer for
the Skymnsters and had previ
ous cage experience nt St. -Ambrose
college at Iowa. Running
him a close second is Harmon,
former star for Bcloit college,
Wisconsin.
Coach Les Israel has been
drilling the Leathernecks stren
uously in preparation for this
tilt and will probably start
Burkland'and Mills at the for
ward berths, "Red" Gilbert in
the keyhole slot; and Meath
and Domitrovitch at the guard
positions.

Mr. Stoneface Meets Kiser
In Headline Event Tonight
Mr. Stoneface is in town! The
dreaded masked menace is all
set to crunch craniums with
Pacific Coast Champ Jack Kiser
in the headline event tonight at
the Klamath bicep bin.
The boys of Bashed-beak
boulevard will really lay it on
the line in Gladiator's gully to
night, with three, count 'cm,
three, red-hot crunch classics
on tap. Promoter Mack Lillard,
tho great white father of Cauli
flower row, has secured the
services of the six top light
heavy musclers in the Pacific
northwest for tonight's clam
bake, featured by the tussle be
tween the "Grey Mask", and
Joltin' Jack.
Pete Belcastro, the popular
Weed assassin, is booked to
slug it out with Gloomy Gust
Johnson, junior heavyweight
king of the Pacific coast, in the
semi-windup battle in a match
that will be second only to the
main event for thrills and spills.
In the opening scuffle, Tough
Tony Ross takes on clever Milt
Olsen in another bout that
should ring the bell. So to
night's performance will be a
four-star show for Klamath
rassllng fans with every fracas
a sure crowd-pleaser.
Kiser is bound and deter
mined to flop the hooded hood
lum in the main set-to and thus
reveal the true identity of the
veiled villain. Mr. Stoneface is
noncommittal, as usual, but will
do doubt rely on his wicked
head butts to subdue tho ail
American boy.
When it comes to rassling,
however, Jack knows all the
answers' without reading the
book and will give the "Mask"
as, much, and perhaps more,
than he bargains for.
Referee Wally Moss will call
the first two gladiators together
In the Klamath arena at 8:30
p. m. and from then on it's
every man for himself when
the bicep boys start mixing it
up before a jam-packed house.

Husky Squad Said to Be
In Bad Basketball Slump;
Web foots Meet Cougars
By The Associated Press
Gloom oozed today from the
University of Washington, but
news that tho unbeaten, pennant-holding
Huskies were in a
basketball slump was accepted
with an infinitismnl grain of
salt by the rest of the northern
division, Pacific Coast confer
ence teams.
This sadness dripped from
word out of tho Washington pa
vilion that the Huskies were
off form in practice.
But Washington has no con
ference engagements this week

Mrs. Fritzie

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 19 (P)
The Fightin' Zivics of Pittsburgh
contributed another bit .of box
ing news today and Pennsyl
vania's first lady fight promoter.
Dark-haired,' attrae 1 1 v e Mrs.
Fritzie Zivic, wife of the ox-welterweight
champion, has been is
sued a license to promote fights.
She expects to hold ' her first
bout February 5.
In addition, 30-ycar-old Helen
Zlvic will take over management
of Fritzic's "stable" of fighters,
now numbering five.
This Mrs. Zivie says, won't
give her too much trouble as she
already manages three exuber
ant Zivic heirs and an 11-room
house without help.
"I don't know much about pro
moting," she admits, "and I
won't do any of the matchmak
ing. I guess I'll just be treasurer
of tho outfit."
"Sure, sure," chimes in the
voluble Cpl. Fritzie, homo on
furlough from his San Antonio,
Tex., base. "Helen will-be the
promoter and handle the money
and me, too."
too often has turned today's
slump Into tomorrow's rompago
to get the rest of tho leaguo ex
cited now.
Down In Oregon the traveling
Washington State Cougars and
the Wcbfoots of Oregon U. kept
their eyes and minds strictly on
the two-game series opening to
night at Eugene.
WSC Is the only team to trip
Oregon so far In tho league
chase. A victory for the Cougars
tonight would put them back on
even terms with Oregon State,
which trimmed thorn twice
earlier In tho week. Each would
havo two victories and threo
defeats and share third place.
But a double Oregon victory
would strengthen the Wcbfoot
cause to the point that a loss
for the unbeaten Huskies In one
of their Tuesday-Wednesday
tussles with OSC at Corvollls
would shove Oregon into first
place.
The seriousness of that Wash
ington slump will get a test to
night in a Seattle gama against
the independent Alptno Dairy
five and tomorrow night at Bel
linghom against Western Wash
ington College of Education.

Zurita Must
Fight Soon;
Or Else
Br FRANK FRAWLEK
LOS ANGELES. Jan. 10 1T)
Juan Zurlln Is a well-behiivcd,
peace-loving native ol Mexico
City, but he'd like to fight some
body before or on February 27.
If Juan, who is the NBA's
lightweight boxing champion,
does not defend Ills crown by
that date, he's out In the cold,
and he doesn't envision that sit
uation with any relish.
Zurita was to have boxed n
Los Angeles negro, John Tho
mas, on February 27. Tho bout
was all set (or Los Angeles nt
$U top. Thomas used to have
quite a following here. He won
31 straight fights and then
bumped into Willie Joyce and
Sluggor While, tho one-eyed hu
man dynamo. That marked the
end of his ascendancy. Last
week the army called up Tho
mas. Tho promoters of the bout be
gan to look around fur a replace
ment for Thomas. They thought
of Bob Montgomery, recognized
In New York as the tllleholdcr.
But Montgomery, who Is In an
Arizona army camp, has been In
active for five months and could
not get into shapa by next
month.
Manuel Ortiz, they reasoned,
would be n good attraction.
Mnulln' Manual holds tho NBA
bantam title, but ha could make
126 to 13HJ by Zurita. The catch
there is that the NBA wouldn't
sanction a match between Its
lightweight and bantam kings.
Joyce, Gary, Ind., negro,
seems to be the answer. He was
going great guns here a year or
so ago until Henry Armstrong
broke his Jaw.
It seems, however, that an
other promoter, Joe Lynch, holds
an exclusive contract hero for
Zurlta's services. Tho state ath
letic commission has ruled Hint
rival promoters must antlsly
Lynch's contract brforo they
held tho Zurltn-Thomns fight.
Now, Lynch Intends to talk Zu
rlta's manager, George Parnas
sus, Into meeting Joyce, who Is
accorded a pretty good ennnco to
beat the tllleholdcr.
Anyhow, Zurita would bo glad
to meet anybody over the ID
round dlstnnco by February 27.
Anybody want to fight?
