Briefs McKeever Highest CT mm I mm M f ml j eJVllVlIlwU ' ried CHICAGO, Jan. 26 av-Youihful I Ed McKeever. football's nomad who ! has coached at five different schools i in a dozen years, declared todav i that his three-year contract as new ! skipper of the Chicago Rockets i makes me the highest paid coach in professional football." i "What is more." he beamed, "the i money covering the three years is j in the bank." i McKeever s statement, made in ! San Francisco, indicates he will be drawing upwards of S25.000 per sea son and probably more irom the Rockets' new backers, who so far have not been revealed. The Detroit Lions' new owners recently were reported to have of fered Frank Leahy $35,000 annuallv ! .. to win him from Notre Dame, which he refused. The 37-year-old Texas Tech grad uate, who resigned from the Univer sity of San Francisco after leading the school to its best season in his tory with seven wins and three losses, becomes the third pilot of the hapless Rockets which have been a financial bust in their two years of operation. Lujack On Paper CHICAGO, Jan. 26 P Johnny Lujack, Notre Dame quarterback who was voted the "athlete of the year- In 1947, signed a four-year contract with the Chicago Bears Saturday at a reported S18.000 an nual salary.

'Gator Man Plans Show Tuffy Truesdale and his alligator foe and companion, Rodney, will appear here Friday nlfeht as an added attraction to the weekly wrestling show at the armorv. Truesdale. a Floridian and 'gator specialist, will give an educational talk on the ousiness of handling the big lizards commercially capturing them for zoos, and the like then will attempt to show how Its done. If he can flip Rodney on his back, the Job is done, because a 'gator is more or less hors de combat when he is up-ended. Rodney Is not a trained perform er. Truesdale says its Impossible to educate an alligator like you would a dog or horse, and he will resent being mauled around even though Truesdale is his handler. Since he has been on his nation wide tour, Truesdale has had to get replacements In the 'gator depart ment several times because the beasts are subject to a variety of ills, particularly in cold climates, and frequently go to their own par ticular Valhalla by way of pneu monia. 1 AUTHORIZED FRACTIONAL HORSEPOWER GENERAL ELECTRIC MOTORS l4-V3-V2-34H.P. AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY KLAMATH MACHINE 8 Locomotive Works Spring & Elm Burt Shotton Offers Advice About Infield Ex-Brook Manager Expects Dodgers To Win Flag Early NEW YORK. Jan. 26 iNEAl Up from his Barlow, Fla., home to be given the credit lie so richly de serves by the New York baseball writers, Burt Shotton solved the St miky - Robinson problem for Messrs. Rickey and Durocher. All they have to do is listen to the veteran who led the Dodgers to the National league pennant and. with no pitching to speak of, carried the vaunted Yankees to the seventh game of the world series. President Rickey, you know, has indicated that he would like to see Jackie Robinson at second base, his "natural'" position. After the world series, the Mahatma re marked that the Brooks had the best second baseman in baseball, but had to play him at first. Farm Director Shotton solves the I problem by simply declaring that I one doesn't exist. j The kindly gentleman denies that I Robinson still had fielding flaws at first base at the season's end. , KNOWS WAY AROUND "Robby had become a fine field- i inp first Haeninn ' h itvticrpri j "Of course, I'm just a guy on the outside looking in. 'idcd ?, Durochfr' 1 ?on ,h' 'Ms lke P""" ! a"d John CRn " ,he j at ,,rit oase' "They tell me 'you should see Robinson at second base.' but they forget that such a change would mean benching a great competition 1,ke Eddie ,?,ank'r; so1 ca,l t !C an' over-all benefit through such a move " iL T' . , .. pie anything when he said Robin son's true test would come in tills his second year. That's true of eery sophomore. The pitchers are much better acquainted with them. Last season was a tough one for Jackie,'' explained Shotton. There was a lot of pressure on the boy. He was fully aware of the ex traordinary situation, and he react ed admirably. He has wonderful natural ability that was fully brought out because of his willing ness to listen to those people who j had his best interests at heart. HUMAN ELEMENT "The big danger would be the hu man inclination to stop listening to those people, to say to himself: 'I've met my test. Now I'm a suc cess. Now I'm on my own.' "If that were to happen, all the good of last year would be lost. "From what I know of the boy, however. I'd say he's Intelligent enough to follow the right course." Burt Shotton praised Durocher, but rather put The Lip on the spot with. "If he gets half the breaks I got, he'll wrap up the pennant by July," and "I don't like to say this, with Giant representatives here, but I'm afraid they'll have to wait until we get through winning pen nants." That certainly is giving the new Leo Durocher his assignment. Late Cage Scores High School ' Hillsboro 61, Sherwood 38. Astoria 43, The Dalles 34. Myrtle Point 39, North Bend 29.
