Region three hoop warfare will go into the second week of action Friday with a full slate arranged for Alpine" and Nebo division teams. Provo fans are the most fortunate, with both of the local teams, Provo and B. Y. high, playing on the home floor. Spanish Fork will make its first appearance into the loop warfare, when the Dons play host to the Springville Red Devils, winners last week over the Tintic Miners. A Tiard fight is in prospect pros-pect when the two teams mux, with neiher team given the edge. The ether Nebo game will be the tought one to pick. Tintic tangles with Juab, and there seems little difference . to choose between. - Neither team appeared too impressive im-pressive in losing last week to Payson and Springville, and the game should be close all the way. The closest game in the Alpine loop will probably be the L,ehi-B. L,ehi-B. Y. high gajne on the Wildcat floor. Neither of these teams showed much of a scoring punch last week, but they both put up game fights against far stronger opponents. If either of the scoring aces, Jim Oldroyd of the Wildcats Wild-cats or E.'ale Russon of Lehi, start to hit the hoop the game might develop into a thriller. Lehi should be classed as the favorite, but the "Y" high boys are no pushover. Provo should breeze past Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove with little or no difficulty. dif-ficulty. The Vikings do not have near enough power o stop the dynamite in the Bulldog attack, and the only worry should be whether Rand Clark can top his 20 point performance of last week. In the only other game in the region, American Fork travels to Lincoln to give its Big Red outfit a workout against the Lincoln Tigers. The Cavemen showed enough en-ough stuff last week to assure themselves of a ranking of co-favorites co-favorites with the Bulldogs of Provo, and they should have no difficulty with the Tigers. With the fate of the state tournament still in doubt, the outcome of these games will be watched with keen interest, because be-cause the season record of a team, plus the preseason record wrill undoubtedly un-doubtedly play a lajge part in deciding de-ciding the mythical "state champion" cham-pion" that would undoubtedly be picked under such circumstances. All of the games will be preceded pre-ceded by sophomore games, with the main games scheduled to get under way about 8 o'clock and the first games set for seven.

Jackie (California) Wilson finally gets a chance to show his welterweight wares in a feature bout at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night. Wilson, of the army air corps at Mitchell Field, N. Y., should not be confused with Pittsburgh Jackie Wilson, a civilian who is recognized recogniz-ed as featherweight champion by the National Boxing association. Both are negroes. X X X X Sgt Wilson and his adroit manager, man-ager, Waller Melrose, have forced this featured garden showing with a campaign of accusations aimed at (1) Promoter Mike Jacobs, and (2) Young Ray Robinson, the top welterweight contender. For many' months, Wilson and Melrose have hounded both Jacobs and Robinson, decrying the injustice in-justice of Jacobs match-making which kept Sgt. Wilson out of the garden, and shouting to the world that Robinson was afraid to meet the hard-hitting man from Mitchell Mitch-ell Field. x x x x But now, because a lightweight tournament bout was washed out when Bob Montgomery of Philadelphia Phila-delphia hurt his hand in his last victory, Sgt. Wilson has been called call-ed in at the last minute to show his stuff against a middleweight opponent, rugged Jacob Lamotta of the Bronx. Jacobs and his match-maker, Nat Rogers, picked Middleweight Lamotta as Wilson's first gaVden opponent for two quite apparent reasons; (1) Lamotta gave Robinson Rob-inson a hard fight for 10 rounds, although he lost the decision, and if he makes Welterweight Wilson look like a monkey, Wilson and Melrose will be forced to cease their press campaign, and (2) if Wilson happens to show more impressively im-pressively against Lamotta than did Robinson, Messrs. Jacobs and Rogers will have a great drawing card made to order despite their reluctance to let 'him perform in the garden. X X X X In this latter connection, one must realize that both Jacobs and Rogers regard Robinson, the unbeaten un-beaten Harlem negro, as a sort of 'Sacred cow" because he Is a home-town drawing card and a great all-round fighter. Sgt. Wilson has accepted this garden chance gladly although he knows that the percentage is against him. Lamotta will outweigh out-weigh Wilson at least 10 pounds probably 157 to 145. Lamotta also is a better fighter today than when he met Robinson last October, Oc-tober, because of additional experience ex-perience that Included two victories vic-tories oyer formidable Jimmy Edgar.

Y. U., Western Di vision favorites, travel to- Lagon to meet the Utah State Farmers injthe hoop inaugural for 1943. Coach Floyd Millet regards Utah Stite as having one of the best teams in the loop, and is going to Logan prepared for any Cventu al.ity. The Cougars, once again in top shape after bouts with the flue and old man injury, rank as slight favorites on the basis of preseason showing. The Cougar mentor will probably prob-ably take his entire squad .with him, as be cannot make up his mind to do any cutting. The fel lows are so evenly matched that it is next to impossible to make a choice between four or five or them, and Millet is content to let things ride and let the player's progress decide for him. As yet, Millet is not certain of all of the starting lineup. However, How-ever, Dale Rex is a sure bet to start at center, with big Brady Walker opening at one forward. Captain Floyd Giles and Bob Orr will draw down the assignments to stopping the high geared Aggie Ag-gie forwards, with Neil Welling and Grant Richins in reserve. The pther forward spot will probably not be definitely decided until just before game time. At the present time Millet is trying to make up his mind between Joe Winters and Cy Thompson. Thompson looked extra good in a scrimamge session against Ecker Studio, but Winters has been showing up all week. There is an outside possibility that Mahlon Rasmuson may beat them both out of the starting spot, though. The rangy Aggies have one of the highest geared scoring combinations com-binations in the intermountain area, and Millet feels that his guard line, reputed to be one of the toughest defense lines in the area, will really get the acid test in this series. In Captain Verne Hoffman, and Ariel Maughn the Aggies have a couple of men who can hit the hoop from any angle, and do it consistently. The Farmers Farm-ers also boast a pair of rangy guards who have developed their shooting eye to a considerable extent, ex-tent, especially Ralph Maughn, who is a long shot artiste The Cougars will leave tomorrow tomor-row for Logan. Millet has high hopes of coming home with a double victory, and has his entire squad in top shape for the game. It will be the nintja game of the season for both teams.

Coupled with the loss of other players of lesser caliber to the services and the expected employ ment of several more in defense jobs, the absence of Reiser and DiMaggio will make for a potent leveling-off process in the first divisions of both major leagues and the Dodgers and Yankees will be hard-pressed in 1943 to retain their positions as baseball bigwigs. big-wigs. Walker May Leave The Dodgers also face the loss of veteran flychaser Dixie Walker, now employed as head of the recreation rec-reation department at the Sperry Gyroscope plant. Walker, although he has made no official statement, has intimated that he may remain at his post and not return to the club. Reiser has passed his final physical examinaion and was sworn in at Jefferson Barracks, Mo,, yesterday. Last month, Reiser Reis-er was transferred to a St. Louis draft board after he had been reclassified re-classified from 3A to 1A and it was reported he might be deferred s s HERALD , ,';'" L 0 "I ft? ?ss&yr fcsSffij Joe DiMaggio because of a double hernia.

DiMaggio, who went from baseball's base-ball's bargain basement to its highest paid playing job- in 1942, announced his retirement ''for the duration." At the same time he announced his reconciliation. Miss Arnold, former screen, starlet and radio performer, had been in Reno six weeks. She. would be eligible today to file suit for divorce.

Reiser, 21, has been the club's leading hitter -for the past two years with averages of .343 (best in the league) for 1941 and .310 last season. Should Walker quit it would leave the club with only five outfielders Luis Olmo, rookie who has never played better bet-ter than Class B; Hal Peck, rookie who lost a toe in a hunting accident acci-dent during the winter; French Bordagaray, at best only a utility man; and Joe Medwick. DiMaggio's loss will be a damaging dam-aging blow to the Yankees who have already lost such important men as First Baseman Buddy Has-sett. Has-sett. Shortstop Phil. Rizzuto. Pitch-er Pitch-er Red Ruffing and Outfielder Tommy Henrich.
