Colorado Colo-rado meets St. John's in Madison Square Garden Dec. 30, and again the "Garden" throng will get a look at Bob Doll, who was voted the most valuable player of a national na-tional WuBiamenl there in 1040.

With Doll and Leason McCloud, 1941 Big Seven conference scoring champion. Cox will have- perhaps the most ' potent forward court scoring combination in the Big Seven. Bob Hirchner, lanky junior, probably will start with McCloud and Doll in the forecourt, and George Yamburg and Martin Trotsky, Barney Oldham or Paul Schmidt at guard. Trotsky still is undecided whether to play. Three ilettermen. although now in school, have not reported for the squad because of other actlvlr ties. They are Warren Putman, Dean Strain and Dick Shakeshift, all sopohomores last year, who will not be missed too much by Cox.. Among the new material, Hor ace tiuggins, six-root iour-incn Coffeyville, Kas., junior college transfer, is the most promising. He and Doll should be an even match at the worst for Wyom ing's center duo Nilo Komenlch and Jim Weir. Other sophomores are Don Putman, Heath Nuckolls, all-stater from Pueblo; Bill Milll- ken. Eureka, Kas.; Jack Stirling, from South Denver high school; and Lee Robbins, Greeley.

What appeared to be one of baseball's greatest seasons became a definite question mark . with declaration of war and as officials of the two leagues opened their annual winter meetings baseball's part in the emergency was the uppermost thought. Before the three day session is concluded some sort of "war plan" gover? ning the enlistment of drafting into military service of players to be enacted. s - ?

Dec 9 (U.ri-r will be business as usual in sports during ,the war so long as the government agrees. That was the unanimous reaction reac-tion obtained by the United Press today in a nation-wide survey of leaders in all sporting circles, although al-though a certain amount of curtailment cur-tailment is regarded as inevitable, officials and promoters to a man are prepared to carry on for the duration. Held As Usual-While Usual-While making it plain all their actions hinge on government approval, ap-proval, sponsors of the impending bowl football games, boxing matches and race meetings said their events will be held as scheduled. sched-uled. Baseball and professional football men, who have concluded their 1941 seasons, said adjustments adjust-ments will be made for 1942 but that "they remained confident that America, like England and Russia, would retain sports war or not. Most opinions were carefully phrased with "ifs" the biggest of them centering on a probable new draft law which would reclassify many ath!tes now exempt from service under the selective service act because of age or dependents. Baseball would be hardest hit under such circumstances, with, football and boxing also 'suffering. Here are thumb-nail summaries by sports: BASEBALL A revised draft law would be the biggest problem, but the sport survived all but a few weeks of World war I oper ating through 1917 and until September Sep-tember of 1918. Commissioner Kenesaw M. Land is said "it is too early yet to form opinions" but American League President William Harridge stated "while the nation's welfare is our first consideration, I am sure baseball will carry on as it always has." BOXING Mike Jacobs, the nation's leading promoter, will retain re-tain his present, heavy schedule of bouts as long as the fighters remain re-main available. He said "I stand ready to do anything I'm asked, whether it is to promote bouts for the army and navy or to work in any other manner. COLLEGE FOOTBALL -Hal Reynolds, chairman of the Tournament Tour-nament of Roses committee, said "we desire to cooperate with the government as we did in 1918 and 1919 when we scheduled service teams and we believe we will be expected to carry on with our entire New .Year's day football Uirogram." Abe Goldberg, presi dent ot tne sugar dowi committee, commit-tee, said the New Orleans game will be played under current conditions. con-ditions. GOLF Joe Dey, secretary of the U. S. G. A., said a meeting planned for Jan. 9 will determine the fate of golf. v We'll do whatever what-ever the country wants," Dey added. PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL Only three games remain on the ..941 schedule and probably won't be affected. VlftW s BROTHER, FDR TROUBLE-FREE, TMtS-SAVIMa ROUUN JOY FOR.
