the two titans of the loop. Both
play, and Chiloquin. coached by
the Hornets will be on their
home floor and always play
little tighter when cornered.
Individual stars trying for
scoring honors will be Fred
Hess, center and captain of the
Hornets, who in virtually every
game this season has led his
team in scoring, and uaylor
Hatcher, forward for the Pan
thers who has been one of the
county's top basket-makers all
through the schedule.
Leadership in the southern
Oregon district will also be at
stake this week-end over in
Medford when the Klamath
Pelicans come to grips with the
Medford Black Tornado Friday
and Saturday nights. Both
teams are unbeaten in confer
ence Dlav.
Coach Wayne Scott will leave
with the team tomorrow mora

reservations at the Medford

of fast-break, close-checking as
do the Pels. Anderson and
Scott both learned at the knee

Scott said mat an memoers
nf his team are ready to play
and he expects a full house for
both games at Medford. He will
be satisfied with an even break

'Beai Hogan'
Campaign Is
Taking Shape
TUCSON, Arix., Jan. 30 UP)
Leading golfers of the country
swung into the $10,000 Tucson
open today with something
like a "beat Hoga-.i" camualRn
gathering momentum on the
fairway.
The slogan around the El
Rio Country club epitomized
how matters stand among fol
lowers of the winter golf cir
cuit. It was, simply "beat Hogan
and win yourself reputa
tion." Whoever can do it and
thereby cause an upset also
will be more than modestly re
warded. Hogan led 1946
money winners with $42,000.
Professional Golfers associa
tion statistics showed that the
little Hershey, Pa., master has
already collected $4,833.33 in
three western tournaments to
date in' 1947.
Hogan didn't participate in
the pro-amateur match yester
day but he managed to get in
12 holes of golf after his re
turn from a Los Angeles radio
appearance with Jimmy Dem
aret, Houston, Tex. Demarct,
who won the 1946 Tucson
open, is highly favored in the
1947 renewal of the 72-hole
event. So, too, are Lloyd Man
grum, Chicago; Ed Oliver,
Wilmington, Del., and Herman
Barrow, White Plains, N. Y.
Tennis Stars
Called Back ,
SYDNEY, Jan. 30 (IP) The
U, S. Lawn Tennis association
has recalled Gardnar Mulloy,
Bill Talbert and Tom Brown,
three members of its Davis cup
squad still in Australia, who nave
been playing in tournaments and
exhibition matches the past
month.
Some councillors of the Lawn
Tennis association of Australia,
discussing at a meeting last night
the cable, recall sent the group
by President Holcombe Ward of
the USLTA suggested that the
Americans had become involved
in "sham amateurism" by play
ing in exhibition matches or
ganized by sporting goods firms.
(The leading Australian play
ers, Dlnny Fails, conn Long,
Adrian Quist and Geoff Brown,
with whom the Americans have
played exhibitions, are all con
nected with big sporting goods
firms.)
Talbert indicated to the Asso
ciated Press that he, Mulloy and
Brown were surprised at any
suggestion they were in the
"sham amateur" business in Aus
tralia, but declined further com
ment. "Our association knows our
position," Talbert said.
Boxing Heads
Deny Angott
CHICAGO. Jan. 30 (IP) The
plans of Sammy Angott, Wash
ington, Pa., former lightweight
boxing champion, to come out of
retirement to fight Johnny Brat-
ton of Chicago, struck a snag
yesterday when the Illinois state
athletic commission refused to
sanction the proposed 10-round
bout.
The commission said, "Angott
is out of training and the bout
would contribute nothing to
Chicago boxing." Earlier yester
day promoters Irvings Schoen
wald and Jack Begun announced
that Angott would meet Bratton,
20-year-old ranking lightweight
contender. February 18 in Chi
cago stadium.
Angott, who is 32, has not
fought since losing to Beau Jack
last July. Previously, he had lost
to Ray "Sugar" Robinson and
fought a draw with Gene Bur
ton of New York.

Speed Kings Of Northwest
Hoop Circuit Undecided
SEATTLE, Jan. 30 UP) See how they run!
Basketball in the Pacific northwest this year is tailored for
speed, and a couple of the fastest fives will collide again tomor
row and Saturday nights at Corvallis, Ore., trying to decido
which should rate as speed king of the Pacific Coast conference
northern division.
They attempted to settle the issue last week and merely
managed to muddle it. Oregon State college, beaten only by
Long Island university, blew into town Friday and blew down
the University of Washington, p
58 to 37. Saturday night Wash
ington rolled over Oregon
State, 60 to 44.
Amory T. "Slats" Gill went
back to Corvallis with a ques
tion undecided. Asked 'before
the series how his club corn
Dared with previous great OSC
quintets, Coach Gill said he
didn't know, but "we should
find out in these games wim
Washington."
Oregon State still was In
front in the pennant chase after
the series, but considerably
shaken. Five victories against
the lone defeat left Gill's
Beavers ahead of Washington
State by less than a game, and
a game in front of Washington.
Oregon, well back with three
wins and live losses an ine
latter by narrow margins-7-was
regarded as the team most live
ly to succeed at the start of the
division race and is not taken
lightly by any of the circuit's
coaches. Idaho, last year's cham
pion, has dropped seven straight
and goes into its Saturday
night game with Washington
State very much the underdog.
Grid Rules
Under Study
AUSTIN. Texas. Jan. 30 UP)
The national football rules com

today preparatory to journeying

It is the first time In history
fo' the rules group- to meet in
Texas and it is being done to
honor D. X. Bible, athletic di
rector of the University of Texas,
who is rounding out 23 years as
a member.
Bible will be host to the meet
ing at Camp Mystic, his summer
home near Kerrville.
Only a few minor changes are
up for consideration. These in
clude bringing the ball- in 20
yards instead of 19 from the side
lines, a liberalized substitution
rule and restrictions on the so
called "running shift."

form of a life-sized, gi'uvn a:id

he has boon affectionately,
dubbed "Oscar."
His first HiMU'iunm-o in pub

was when the Henley Hornets
stung the Grizzlies for a win
on the A-slring but were
nudged over by the Hear II
string. This, it wim decided,
was a good omen, ai during
his second "personal appear
ance" in the Hears' den, the
Grizzlies gave the Bonanza
hoop.stcrs a tromping lit both
contests.
All this time Oscar has been
a rather bare bear, adorned
only with a green velvet rib
bon tied around his neck. An
this was considered mi insult
to his dignity, Oscar has since
been completely outfitted with
a basketball suit, denominated
as No. 1, and dressed In a
warm-up jacket, a pair of ten

while Htocking cup.
Oscar has proved an Inspira
tion both to the cheering sec

made himself generally
known and loved by all.

Minor League Czar
Opens Up On Bookies
DURHAM. N. C Jan. 30 (I') Juilgo William G. nrumhain,
having accused flvo suspended playors In Hut Kviiiigellue league
of gambling, conspiring to throw games, spending part of their
time as bookmakers mid oven fleecing a bookie, tciduy dropped
the minor leuguo baseball scandal Into the lap of his successor.
As a purling shut, the retiring prealdeiit'trenaurcr of the Na
tional Association of Professional llnseball Leagues turned over
to the new minor leuguo czar, Georgii M. Trauliunn, lengthy
report on his Investigation Into what hu tormcd the "very, very
bad" condition In the class D circuit.
The report, made to association members, . contains allegations
Hint players some of them allegedly former New Orleans book
inukurs threw g nines accord-
Ing to their bets. The report Is
frotiucntlv uunetiiiited with
statements by the players deny
ing the charges.
F.liiburutlfig on thu suspension
of the five players, which was
unuouiiccd lust week, lliiiniluim
alleges thut the results of the
Abbevillo-lloumii pluyoff series

In led fur the benefit of players
and their gambling friends."

The report quotes Fuglt to
the effect that ho hud "three

that they havo always worked
'bookie pluces'; that It Is a fact
that If the muyor hadn't closed
up these pluces In New Orleans
they would not have played
ball with Ilouma In 1040 as
they snld they could make
more money working In 'book
ies' than in playing ball,"
One of Uramham's allega
