Missoula Doesn't Want Loop Spot MISSOULA, Mont. WV-Missoula nrobably will sav "no" to an in vitation to join the newly organ ized Northwest Baseball League in 1955, a Missoula businessman and sports leader indicated Wednesday.- ' i : i ff -.- i But Nick Mariana told the Mis soula Rotary Club both this city and Butts should be ready to enter the Class B circuit, successor to the defunct Western- International League, in 1956. . In the meantime, Mariana said, the Northwest loop probably will have to operate with six teams. ' Arthur Pohlman of Wenatchee, Ttr.-u nr ,1... . T ; dent, said Tuesday the league has lined up seven cities and invited Missoula to become the eiahth member- after -Tacoma, Wash., interests decided against sponsor ing an entry. ' Mariana said he feels there is . not sufficient time between now and the opening of the 1955 sea ion for Missoula to line up a team and major league affiliations, pre pare a park and complete other arrangements. Cities which Pohlman said have "met all requirements" to join the league are Salem and Eugene, Ore., Yakima, Tri-City, Wenatchee and Spokane, Wash., and Lewiston, Idaho. League organization will be com pleted at a meeting at Yakima Jan. 8. Rich Golf Trail Opens For Pros; LOS ANGELES W The na lon's professional golf stars hit the richest tournament trail of all Thursday when they fire away in the 125,000 Los Angeles Open, the first of 15 events with purses amounting to $250,000. The quarter million is $17,000 more" than the pros aimed at last year and the Los Angeles attrac tion is one of the choicest targets along the' schedule that winds up the winter tour with the Masters at Augusta, Ga.. April 7. .... All of the country's best known players are here, with the excep tion of Ben Hogan and Sam Snead, who. play infrequently in tourna ments. National Open champion Ed Fur gol; veteran Dutch Harrison, the 1954 Vardon Cup winner; Bob Tosti,' the leading money winner; Lloyd Mangrum, and all the oth er prominent pros are entered. Fred Wamplcr of Indianapolis won the 1954 L. A. Open with a 72-hole total of 2(1. As sideshow attractions, a pro celebrity round was slated Wednes day for a $2,500 nurse for the pros, and the women's PGA will com pete at 54 holes for. an extra 55, 000 purse. Most of the leading women pros are entered.' BASKETBALL PRO BASKETBALL By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Wednesday's Results Milwaukee 97, Fort Wayne 92 Philadelphia 10S, Minneapolis 85 Rochester 103, New York 85 One of the marvels of the ani mal world is now some warm blooded animals can dive to deep, where pressure are so great, re main submerged so long, and then sunace so usu . . . Man does well to dive 100 feet where the pressure is 45 pounds to the square inch tnree atmos pheres, as pressures are reckon edand remain there two minutes. In "-fact, a quick surfacing may give him the "bends", or caisson sickness,- an Illness brought on by the pressure forcing nitrogen from the air he breaths into the blood and tissues. Sudden death may re sult. Yet warm-blooded animals with a lung capacity scarcely .that of a man's can dive much deeper, remain under water longer, and return to the surface more swiftly without suffering ill effects. . .-. , The young of the seal has been known to dive 240 feet that's over 10 atmospheres. . .Adult seals feed ing on a particular type of fish must descend over several hundred feet beyond that figure but just how far has not yet been ascer tained. . BUT DEEP as the seals may go, whales descend much farther. For them, amazing records have ben established, mostly accidental. For example, three sperm whales, ap parently in search of food, have become entangled in submarine ca bles and perished: One- at 1,500 feet, another at 1,600 feet, and most astonishing, a 45-foot whale met his end. entangled in the ca ble which he severed, at a depth of 3,240 feetl That's more than 98 atmospheres, where the pressure sleep as you've dreamed of sleeping!

Aside from the phenomenal depths attained, these aquatic mammals can remain submerged for long periods. The elephant seal has been timed at 12 minutes; the common harbor seal at 15; the Alaska fur seal at 24. But whale'i records, again, are more imores live: the fin whale remained sub merged for 30 minutes; the blue whale for 49; the sperm for 75; the Greenland right whale for M; the bottlenose for 12M that's two hours. '- n.f. ' IN COMPARISON of submersion periods, terrestrial-aquatic mant els are much shorter but even their time is much better than man's; the otter has been timed at four minutes perhaps far short of his maximum; the musk- rat at 12: the beaver at 15. For safety, these animals are all equipped with automatic valves in both ears and nose which close when they submerge and , open when they surface. But this does not explain the mystery of Jiow these animate particularly the whales and seals can retain their breath so long, how they can resist the enormous oressures, then come uo so quick ly vet avoid the "bends." The answer is not larfsr in capacity: proportionately speaking, the seal has no larger lungs than man, in fact, the whale's lungs are relatively smaller. (Besides a great lung develooment would hin der an animal from diving). WHAT THEN! In the first nlace, man only renews from 15-20 per cent of his air when breathing; the whale renews up to 90 per. cent! with' it, tne wnale exTa-nc more oxygen and stores it in his blood and muscles. Besides, he can overdraw the oxvgen from his muscles and blood to a much great er extent than man. And, he seems able to absorb more carbon dioxide without ill effects. Next, the nulse rate goes wav rlown. In seals it may drop as drastically as 93 13 per cent from 150 heartbeats a minute to only 10 and remain that low dur ing the whole dive. With it. -of course, the animal's metabolism droos severely.. - Finally, these animals can with stand tremendous pressures' on their lungs and their lungs are capable of tremendous compres sions. In the whale it has been estimated that at 600 feet, his lungs are comm-essed to less than 135 of their normal capacity and as we have seen; whales go down much farther than 600 feet! To make this compression nos- ible. and to avoid the "bends." both whales and seals expel most of tne air irom tneir rungs, leaving comparatively little nitrogen to be forced into the blood and tissues-!- at least, the amount w so small that the pressurized nitrogen has little dangerous effect. Northwest Conference Sets Basketball Action By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Northwest Conference bas ketball race opens this weekend with all conference teams going into action.
