PAUL HAINES
By
HOT DOGI
Through the splendid coopera
tion of the Marine Barracks, a
ball game has
oeen scheduled
for Saturday
night at the
Klamath Union
high school gym
nasium between
Shannon's, a top
independ ent
club from Port
land, and the
Leathern eck
quintet from the
Barracks. As we
mentioned yes- hatnfs
terday, all pro- HAINES
ceeds from this game will go to
the national infantile paralysis
fund.
We are truly grateful to
Arnold Gralapp, superinten
dent of scnoois, Stanley Wood
ruff, Drincipal of KUHS, Joe
Peak, director of athletics. Ma
jor Clvde C. Roberts, execu
tive oiiicer at the Barracks,
Capt. William R. Ourand, post
athUtic officer, and Col.
George Van Orden, command
ing officer at the Barracks.
Without the aid of these men
it would have been almost im
possible to stage this game for
the benefit of the crippled
youngsters of the United States.
We too feel grateful to the mem
bers of the Shannon ball club
for making the trek from Port
land so that some little boy or
girl may walk again.
Our goal Saturday night is
$10001 We are informed that
no basketball name in Klam
ath Falls has ever brought in
that amount. But heck, fel
lows, there's a first time for
everything. We cannot help
but feel that the goal will be
reached in so fine an athletic
contest for so humane a cause.
. We think it significant that
the American people are in the
midst of a campaign to benefit
humanity when so many are bent
upon destroying it. From now
on, it's up to you folks, we're
counting on you!

NYU Grid Chant Is Now New

NEW YORK "Hubba-Hub-

liarly adapted to New Guinea
dialect, can be traced to New
York university, where football
players used it. Capt. Bob Con
nolly, Violet end of 1937-38-39,
brought the chant to New Guin
ea. A guerrilla skirmish fol
lowed. Shouting "Hubba-Hub-ba,"
the men put the Nips to
rout. Much impressed native car
riers returned to their villages,
and now the collegiate war cry
of NYU has become a chant of
the jungle.

The K-men travel to Grants
Pass this weekend to take on the
cellarite Cavemen in an attempt
to gain their second conference
victory. The Cavemen nave uecn
dumped by both Ashland and
Medford and will face the Peli
cans on the maple for the first
time this year Friday night.
Jerry Thome, lanky Klamath
pivotman, will not be able to pa
trol the keyhole slot for the K
men in this series, but will be
ready to start practice next
week. With the loss of Bob Per
kins, Cook has worked out a
combination of Jim Palmer and
Jim Pope at forwards, Buz Buss
man at the center position, and
Jim Noreen and Larry White at
the guard slots.
Bud Biehn and Don Noel
showed up well Tuesday with
Noel hawking the onion consist
ently and Biehn looped in some
nice counters from outside the
keyhole. Ringstead worked his
way loose for a couple of nice
lay-ins and, all in all, the Peli
cans looked like a different ball
club than the one that took the
floor against the rough Medford
Black Tornado. I
The K-men are virtually out of ,
the running as far as the confer- i
ence is concerned, but Cook has j
his eye on the district tourna
ment coming up at Ashland and
is grooming his boys with it in
mind.
The Pelicans could still finish
second in the loop by dumping
the Cavemen and then bouncing
the Grizzlies when they play a
return series here soon. Medford
seems destined to cop the bunt
ing, but the K-men will be in
there scrambling, you can bet on
that..

Redmond Cagers
By 55-43 Count
Tuesday night at the Prine-

therneck cagers from the Marine
Barracks downed the Redmond
army air base quintet 55 to 43.
It was a rough ball game with
a total of 39 personal fouls called
and the marines could not gath

smallness of the floor.
Mills led the Leatherneck at
tack, accounting for 13 points
and Nyra and Lewis collected 15

IT MAY BE ALTITUDE,
BUT CLASS TELLS
MEXICO CITY Perhaps
there is something in the claim
of the management of the Hip-
odrome de las Americas, which
points to the track's elevation of
7500 feet and says it makes
horses run like 2-year-olds. Gen
eral Manager Bruno Paglial
could point to Annapolis Blue,
7-year-old spn of tilue Larxspur
Speed Boat by Man o' War,
taken from yearling sales for
$13,000. Annapolis Blue didn't
stand training, spent four sea
sons at stud. Bred to some
mares in Mexico last year, An
napolis Blue was then put in
training. Making his first trip
to the post he defeated a field
of maidens by five lengths in
59 seconds flat. Perhaps, how
ever, the altitude hadn't as much
to do with his victory as the
weak caliber of his opposition
and the fact that class will tell.

missioners still on the board.
Terms of two other members ex
pired last week.
"I have invited the commis
sioners and the state sports
council's directors to meet with
me here Sunday afternoon to
further explore where we are
going," Wallgren said.
"I explained to the sportsmen
yesterday that if the present
commission accepts my view
point on our mutual responsibili
ties, and if it is agreed that the
appointment of a director re
sponsible to me as governor shall
be made by me, then I will have
no particular objection to retain
ing the present commission set
up. ,
"The thing is I don't know
these men. I have no doubt they
are fine men trying to do a good
job. But I want to feel assured
they see things the way I do."
The governor said he has a
federal wildlife official in mind
for appointment as director.
"I know he'd go day and night
building our game resources,"
he said. .
The governor's meeting with
sportsmen yesterday had the ef
fect of stopping letters he Had
dictated requesting resignations
of game commission members,
he added.

Draft Plans to Be Presented
To Major League Moguls Soon
By JIMMY JORDAN ' -
CHICAGO, Jan. 24 (P) The
question of conditions . under
which, baseball will enter a
fourth wartime, season 12 weeks
hence may be bound up in a
atraight-from-the-shpuldcr report
on plans of selective service to
be presented major league mo
guls at New York on February
3.. .
Ford Frickl National ' league
president, has the report. He
obtained it. Monday during dis
cussions with Lewis B. Hershey,
director of selective service, at
a conference m Washington.
Frick sought to determine
just how far-reaching a recent
war department directive may
be in regard to review of all
professional athletes now classi
fied 4-F, or with medical dis
charges, before they are reject
ed for military service. Frick
has given no intimation of the
contents of the report, but he
said in New York:
"I asked Gen." Hershey just
what information we desired

and ho responded frankly and

punches.. He told us exactly
what we could expect under
the current rulings.- That was
all we wanted to know." . . .
Frick said the joint meeting
of major league club owners
February 3 would be given a
full report on the discussions.
Leslie M. O'Connor, secretary
to ' the late Kcncsaw Mountain
