Louisiana Stale landed its tour ney berth last night when it clinched the Southeastern confer ence championship with an easy 63 to 48 conquest of Misisssippi. DePaul with a record of 18 wins and six defeats accepted a "mem ber at large" bid. That, with Idaho State and Seat Hie previously entered, made four berths filled in the 23-man field. The tourney includes 14 conference champions and nine "members at large. Irish Perturbed Notre Dame, with a 16-4 record, was said to be "perturbed" be cause, as an "at large" entry, it would have to .play in a prelimin ary elimination round. However, the Irish were expected 1o agree despite this objection. Fordham (18-4) previously indi cated interest in a bid and was expected to accept quickly. Navy (15-4) gave no hint what it would do, but appeared in the NCAA once before, in 1947. The National Invitation Tourna ment, which yesterday half-completed its 12-team field by landing Duquesne (18-6), w a s also expect ed to announce another team today possibly Villanova (17-8). First Clean Sweep Louisiana State, gaining its first undisputed league crown, ran its conference record to 11-0 with its victory over Mississippi. The Bayou Tigers, with an overall 20-1 record, led all the way and held a 34-20 halflime margin as six-foot, nine-inch Bob Pettit, the Tigers' all-America candidate, sank 29 points to run his varsity career total to 1,003. Incidentally, LSU is the first team other than Kentucky to rule the Southeastern conference in 10 years. Kentucky was barred from the sport for a year b,y the NCAA for subsidization and eligibility vio lations. Second Clean Sweep Indiana smashed four scoring records as it blasted Purdue last night, 113 to 78. The Hoosiers, with a 14-0 league record, need only to beat Illinois on Saturday night to clinch their first undisputed league crown. Failing that, they can clinch by winning two of their other three remaining games. The Hoosiers set these scoring marks: 1, new league single-game scoring total; 2, new Bloomington Field House record; 3, new three year Indiana record of 822 points for Don Schlundt, who scored 31 last night; and 4, new 14-game league record of 357 for Schlundt. In other leading games last night: Texas Christian tied for second in the Southwest confer ence by beating Arkansas, 65 to 63; in Big Ten games Michigan State's defense downed Wisconsin, 53 to 45, Jim Bragiel's free throw gave Northwestern an 85 to 84 win over Michigan, and Iowa downed Ohio State 90 to 75, despite 26 points by State's Paul Eberg. License Sales Show Increase The annual tally of. fishing and hunting license sales released by the game commission claims 420, 000 fishing and hunting fans in v Oregon for 1952, an Increase of 32,000 over 1951. This, says the commission re port, represents 37 per cent of the State's adult population over 14 years of age or 28 per cent of the total population. The continued increase in li cense sales i has reached a point where the commission believes fishing and hunting has valid claim as the number one sport of Oregonians. Breakdown for the sales is 80, 000 combination licenses, 182,000 angling licenses, and 141,000 hunt ing licenses. Special fishing and hunting licenses sold to pioneers, disabled veterans, indigents, and the blind accounted for the other 17,000 licenses sold. An additional 24,000 angling and 1,500 hunting licenses were sold to tourists. Sales of the vacation licenses to non-residents have in creased 21 per cent in the past two years. An accurate measure of elk and deer hunting pressure is given in deer and elk tag license sales. In 1952 deer tags sold to hunters numbered 186,000 and elk tags 24.000. The S2.011.074 derived from the sale of 1952 game licenses was set aside in tne siaie game iuhu for wildlife protection and man agement work. The game com mission does not receive tax sup port or appropriations. CONSIDERATE BUFFALO, N. Y. tIP The sign adorns the wall of a barber shop here: "On Saturdays children's haircuts until 12.

TWO Lewis and Clark Moving Nearer Northwest Title PORTLAND, Feb! 24 (IB-Lewis and Clark moved closer to a North west conference basketball cham pionship last night with tin easy 89-74 victory over Collece of Idaho. The Pioneers need only one win in their two-game series with Wil lamette this weekend to clinch the 1953 championship. College of Idaho was unable to keep in the game from the open ing minute.

Owen Schedules Tag Team Match Bend wrestling fans will have a change of fare on the card schedu led for presentation Thursday eve ning at the Bend armory, when an Australian tag team match will be offered by Matchmaker Elton Owen. The Baillargeon brothers ' will headline the card, as a team, and pitted against, them will be Tony Ross and Red Vagnone, a formid able combination in any ring. Both of the brothers were on last week's Bend card. Lional Baillargeon, who is 6 feet 2 inches tall, substituted for the ailing Gino Nicolini last week, and came up with a surprise win against Buck Weaver.. Brother An tonio did almost as well, when he held the more experienced Al Szasz to a hard-fought: draw. ISoss Also Tough Ross also is big and tough, and has shown up well in previous Bend cards. Vagnone, a veteran, should team well with Ross. Big Don Kindred, who finally got revenge last week by defeating Eric Pederson in the headline event here, this, week will meet Gino Nicolini. in the one-hour pre liminary match. Kindred has be come increasingly popular wun Central Oregon wrestling fans, and at the same time has gained the respect of other top wrestlers in the Pacific Northwest through his prowess. Nicolini definitely is on.the way up and would like nothing better than to spring an upset here. He is fast and uses many holds well, specializing in the abdominal stretch and the crossbow.

DESCHWTES COUNTY, OREGON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY Sports Parade By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK, Feb. 24 (IP) The Yankees' Mickey Mantle, channel swimmer Florence Chadwick and former heavyweight king Jack Sharkey are performing at the Na tional Sportsmen's Show today but they run a rather distant second to the world's bravest woman. She is the wife of Archie Lob dell, a lad who gives throwing ex hibitions with a double-edged fiver pound axe. Mrs. Lobdell decorates the targets which vary from an apple on her head to a balloon held unconcernedly in her mouth. From 20 feet away, Archie cuts 'em in half. I won't give you any bets on how long this act will last but it is re liably reported that Mrs. Lobdell never argues with Archie. Mantle Not Broke Mantle, who still hasn't signed with the Yankees because of a $5, 000 salary difference, , is making up that sum the easy way. Mickey, a casual angler, is getting five grand this week just to stand still and let Sharkey teach 'him how to cast. The show, as usual, has every thing. You can buy anything from a . trailer drawn by an oversized tricycle to a log cabin, or from airplanes to roller skates.

Thus Pontiac has an almost irresistible appeal to people who find it wise to keep their automobile investment at a mini mumwithout sacrificing quality. It is this unique combination of goodness and price which makes Pontiac the solid 1008 tices incessantly with gun and bow while pop plays the pin ball ma chines. Some Catch Hats The show strikes an incongruous note on the third floor where there is a huge tank filled with trout. There, for a half buck, you can catch two fish. Eager anglers line the tank, shoulder to shoulder, and whip the water into a froth. The biggest catch is of hats among the spectators, while glaring from a conservation booth across the way is a sign which admonishes: Don't hunt or fish out of sea son."
