BRAND OF BASKETBALL MUCH POORER
INC0AS1 CONFERENCE DUE T0WAR

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 19-CUP)
The effects Of the war did strange
things 10 Pacific Coast football last
fall, most noticeable Of which was
z decided drop in the caliber of
the teams, and it now appears that
basketball, at least in the Southern
Division of the coast conference,
has been nit much harder.
Football attendance, in general,
held up surprisingly well, mostly
because of ticket sales in Los An
geles, but crowds at basketball
games have dropped off al least so
per cent in comparison with 194l
And the games the fans are seeing
aren't deserving Of large audiences.
For example. the California
Southern California series used to
pack the Berkeley schools gym to
the rafterS, even when one or both
OF the teams were Second-rate. The
gym holds over 1000 when they
played last Saturday, about $500

lamentable lack of interest on the
Part Of the students and paying
public.

2 TEAMS READY
FOR COMPETITION
IN LEAGUE HERE

Plans for organization of at least
a nine team basketball team for
service and non-service teams in
Imperial Valley were near compile
ton Tuesday.
Coach Lou Birnbaum of El Centre
high school. who is pushing organi-
cation of the loop to replace high
school basketball here, said that
league play will probably start in
the near future.
A team from MeXicali asked for
entrance into the league Monday
afternoon in a conference with
Birnbaum. Prior to that an eighth
team from the Marine Camp Dun
lap, near INLAND, had petitioned
entrance.
Calexico high school, which is the
only squad not prohibited from
travelling to athletic events by
school board order, has agreed to
enter the league. Plans now call
for the school to play the service
teams and Mexicai in the Calexico
gym but to play the Ell Centre
high and Junior college teams in
El Centro.
Here are the squads expected to
enter competition:
FL Centro Marine Fliers; Camp
Dunlap Marines; Camp Seeley Sol

school teams; an Ell Centric junior
college team; CaleXico high school;

Ray Dumont, president of the
National Semi-Pro Congress, has
come up with new idea which
should win a world of commenda-
ton.
He is organizing groups of base
balls famous old-timers into a Ma
tional Association.
Each member of the Association
will be given a membership card
and from time to time will be sent
bulletins tipping him off as to how
he might be able to build up the
game in his own particular sec
ton of the country.
Babe Ruth, the Great Mainbino,
IS doing q job right now which will
help the game as much as anything
else.
He's selling war bonds.
The New York Giants will be the
team to watch next year in the
National League. In spite of the
fact that they have lost five men
70 the armed forces, they will be
able to scrape up quite adequate
team.
Managed by Mel OFT, the Polo
Grounders may easily be the sur
prise team OF the year.

UNCERTAIN OF CHOICE
Meanwhile Willie Ritchie. one of

who won the lightweight title from
Ad Wolgast in 1912, and lost it TO
Freddie Welsh in a questionable
decision in London in 1914, was
raising his son to be a lawyer It
seems that young Steffen has an
uncle who is a lawyer, and who
could make a place for him. That's
why the Kid went to UCLA last
year.
Steffen said AS soon as we fin

SAFETY EDUCATION in CLASS
ROOMS

Since more children are walking
greater distances to and from school
in rural areas, due to government
restrictions on school bus use, there
must be daily emphasis on safety ed
ucation in classrooms if traffic deaths
and injuries involving children are
to be kept down, according to Mr..
l.. E. Kolmer, General Manager OF
the Automobile Club of Maryland.
"The recent order of the Office OF
Defense Transportation that school
officials are to furnish school bus
service in many cases only for stu
dents who would have to walk two
miles to a school, or more than a
mile and half to a school bus trunk
route, means that many children will
be exposed to traffic hazards" Mr..
Kolmer declares. Gwen though there
may be fewer passenger cars on rur-
al highways, commercial trucks,
Army vehicles and essential private
cars still makeup heavy traffic vol
umes on many roads during the
hours children are going to and from
school,"
