NEW YORK, Jan. 14—Two men and an institution went the way of all war time flesh the other day. They were, more or less in the order named, Joe Louis, Mike Jacobs and the prize fight business. This sharp readjustment of the American sports scene was etched against a military background over at Ft. Jay on Governor's Island when one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time signed a contract with a new manager, Uncle Sam. From time to time Louis may come back to fight but he will be fighting for various service agencies, not for himself. Jacobs will continue to stage whatever fights he can because he has a contract to do so with Madison Square Garden; but without Louis as a dependable standby. a sure-fire gate attraction, it won't be the same.

" FOR SOME TIME NOW the existing vitality of the prize fight business has been geared to Louis and his unprecedented activity. How it will be affected without Louis, except on special service and profitless ogcasions, remains to be seen. The prospects are bleak. Even Jacobs admits this. “As a matter of fact it is for the best” said the promoter—the most successful promoter the business has ever known, by the way. Not as spectacular or colorful as the late Tex Rickard but tops in all other respects. “If I wasn’t committed to the Garden to produce a number of shows a year I'd get out right now,” said Jacobs. “I was glad to see Louis get in the Army and I don’t care how many of my other figh As a matter of fact that's where they belong, those who don’t have dependents. The big job is to win the war and win it as quickly as we can. I'm . hot going to kid myself that prize fights are important in these times and any other promoter who thinks otherwise about his particular sport is crazy.”

2 = =» MR. JACOBS’ ATTITUDE toward war time sports in general is scarcely optimistic. He doesn’t say in so many words but he gives you the distinct impression that leaders who prattle about “civilian morale” are slightly on the counterfeit side. “This would be a hell of a country if we had to have dghts and ball games and races to get us all worked up about winning a war, now Idn't it?” It pained us but we to nod in the affirmative. was no surprise to any one who has been studying Louis for the several years that he conducted himself with mannerly bearing and dignity. This was no lark or gesture, it was serious business. And when some one asked, “How vou going to like the army?” and he replied, “I'm going to love it,” he meant every word,

8 & = LOUIS HAS CHANGED quite a bit since the afternoon we saw him in June '35 when he was making his first start around here. This was when he was getting ready to meet Primo Carnera. And yet fundamentally he hasn't changed at all. Like Dempséy and Ruth of other days, he has simply developed certain little refinements which make it easier for him to get along in company and carry his end of a conversation, In those earlier days he was

hitehing post. It was a waste of time to talk with him. Some of us thought him surly. When he'd come in for what was joeularly called a press conference he usually had a batch of comic pages in his pow He'd stretch out on a cot and read the comies and answer in grunts and nods and one-word sentences. He liked to train and fight but he didn’t like o tak. This was embarrassment but some of us didn’t recognize it at the time. That's why we put him down as surly.

= ” = BUT THE YEARS CHANGED HIM. He acquired a certain assurance, lost his crowd shyness, became articulate; at least he made a try at answering questions and usually it was a good try. Like the classic remark he made last week. ... “I ain't fighting fr nothing; I'm fighting for my country.”

Little Texan Captures Big

Coast Tourney

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14 (U. P). —Ben Hogan, a jockey-sized Texan who yields to no man until the last putt is down, started the 1942 golf circuit where he finished in 1941— at the top—with a hard-earned victory in the $10,000 Los Angeles Open. He won the tournament on the 18th hole in a playoff match with Big Jimmy Thomson, long-driving professional from Del Monte, Cal. Thomson almost won the tourney on Monday in the final round, but the little man from Dublin, Tex, still had to be reckoned with. Hogan birdied on the 18th to tie Thomson's 282 for the four rounds of play and thereby dimmed the big Californian’s chances for first money of $3500—for the time being, any-

way. In the 18-hole playoff yestérday, it was the same combination — the last hole and Hogan's birdie—that permanently eclipsed Thomson's hopes. Missed $1800 Putt

Thomson was on the green, but 12 feet away when Hogan executed a brilliant chip shot which rolled within eight inches of the cup. The score was even, and the pressure on. Thomson putted—an $1800 shot— and the ball rolled toward the pin. It never reached the cup and stopped two inches from the rim. Hogan sank his for a birdie. Hogan's share of tournament gold was $3500 and 25 per cent of the proceeds of yesterday's extra round, making the total prize about $4100. That is a good start for any year, especially for Hogan, who came out atop the professional heap last year without winning a major tournament. Thomson won $1700, plus another 25 per cent of the gate, for a total of $2300. More than 4000 spectators crowded about the contestants yesterday and saw Hogan birdie the first two holes for a two-stroke lead over his rival. He picked up another on Thomson at the fourth, but hooked a drive on the fifth for a bogie. Thomson cracked one of his hefty drives and over the green on the same hole or he might have cut Hogan's lead more than one point. Bogies on Sixth Both took bogies on the difficult sixth, and Thomson picked up another stroke on the seventh with another tremendous drive. They parred the eighth, but Hogan got a birdie on the ninth and the score going out was 36 for Hogan and 38 for Thomson. A bogie for Hogan and a birdie for Thomson evened the score by the 14th, and the match was all square to the 18th, when Hogan's performance proved better under re. The playoff was the second in the history of the Los Angeles Open, first and richest fixture on the winter golf circuit. In 1935, Vie Ghezszi beat Johnny Revolta in an extra round.

Hogan Moves On To Oakland Club

OAKLAND, Cal, Jan. 14 (U.P). —Ben Hogan, the habitual high money golf winner, is favored te capture the $5000 Oakland Open which opens tomorrow at the Sequoyak Country Club.

Boom Football

At Wisconsin

Times Special MADISON, Wis, Jan. 14—The University of Wisconsin Athletic Board has approved a comprehensive six-point program of reorganization for Wisconsin football coaching personnel for 1942, The plan, recommended to the Athletic Board by Harry Stuhldreher, Badger athletic director and football coach, provides not only for greater concentration of coaching efforts but also for an expansion of competition in the gridiron sport on the Wisconsin campus. The six-point reorganization plan follows: 1. . The appointment of Robert Reagan, former varsity line coach, to the chairmanship of all freshman athletics and head coach of freshman football. 2. The appointment of Frank Jordan, former varsity backfield coach, as Reagan's aide in both positions. 3. George Fox will add the tutoring of the tackles to his end coaching position. 4.

CAMP UPTON, N., Y., Jan, 14 (U.P.)—Here, in the land of barracks and tents, Joe Louis joins the Army today. The million-dollar mauler enters a camp far different from those in which he spent much of the last eight years as he begins a 48-hour ordeal that will make him a fullfledged private. Discipline descends upon the Dusky Dynamiter the minute he passes the sentries at the post entrance after a 7T0-mile drive out Long Island from Midtown Manhattan. There he leaves his world heavyweight crown and becomes Joe Louis Barrow. There he leaves his entourage of reporters, cameramen and handlers, including Uncle Mike Jacobs.

No team can play Indiana basketball and win all season, then expect to win in the tournaments too. Hammond Tech, the boys of Lou Birkett who fought to a state crown in 1940, added its eighth triumph in the teeth of East Chicago Roosevelt, one of the tougher assignments in the Northwest. Tech won, 38-27, to keep a firm hold on its spot among the top ten teams in Indiana.

Hot Dogs Fall

The spurting Frankfort Hot Dogs slipped on their comeback trail last night, falling to Lebanon, 30-24, after taking two previous scalps— Lafayette and Marion. Lebanon led all the way until the end of the third quarter when Frankfort took a brief 23-22 lead, but Lebanon blanked the Hot Dogs in the final session and rallied to win. Two contests tonight compel interest. Anderson, hypo-ed by four victories in the last five starts, squares off at Orawfordsville. Archie Chadd’s Indians are beginning to look like past Anderson wonderfives, after sinking Richmond and Connersville last week-end. Lafayette, unbeaten until the Frankfort game last Friday, fires at Muncie Central tonight. The Broncos recovered from their first setback sufficiently to knock off Indianapolis Shortridge the following night, 46-25.

There's nothing like high test to wake up a cold, sleepy motor. And Phillips 66 Poly Gas is loaded with high test aplenty!

But your comeback may well be: “That's what you say.”

Right! What this greater gasoline will do in your car is more important, and far more convincing, than anything we say about it. So try a tankful and find out the fast-starting facts for yourself.

BWF™ Remember, the Orange and Black 66 Shield is High Test Headquarters for car owners . . . because Phillips is the WORLD'S LARGEST PRODUCER of natural high test gasoline.
