At Oakland — California vs. Washington in first playoff game for Coast conference basketball championship. Bears vs. Huskies. Take Your Choice. Milligan's Work. -By DICK NEL’BERGER J^EEP your money in your pock-! ets and don’t bet on tonight’s! basketball game at Oakland. Cali-! ■f Srott Milligan rorma ana wash- j | i n g t o n are! matched too' evenly to take! [ any chances on their respective I merits. No sport ! is more uncertain I than basketball, i and with the' championship of the Pacific Coast1 conference as the J prize of victory i mere s no telling what will happen. I On numerous occasions Hec Ed-1 mundsen and Nibs Price have met i in the past and always has the » battle between their teams been a stern one. Last year the Bears and Huskies clashed at Seattle, with the latter coming away triumph antly. California won the first game, 36 to 34, but Washington came back after that and took two straight and the title, 41 to 25, and 42 to 30. The stars of that series were a young fellow named Joe Kintana, who played for the Bears, and John Fuller, Hank Swanson, and Ned Nelson of the Huskies. All except Swanson will re-appear in tonight's game. * * * The fact that the playoff se ries will be held on the Bears’ home court at Oakland gives them a certain advantage. Not to be overlooked, however, is the fact that the Huskies are the present champions. They won’t relinquish the title without giv ing all they have in defense of it. Both Walshington and Cali formnia emerged victorious in their respective divisions as the result of late-season rallies. The Huskies were forced to fight their way out of the cellar to overcome Washington State, and California finally caught up with Southern California after a slow start. Oregon was Washington’s ally, for the Webfoots nipped the Cou gars three times to give the Seattle boys their chance. Like wise California had some valu able assistance from II. C. L. A., which made things miserable for the Trojans in Los Angeles. * * $ Funny how Hoc Edmundson and Nibs Price have dominated basket ball for so long. Hec is the Napo leon of the north, just as little Nibs I is the ruler of the south. In his j sports gossip column in The Ore- | gonian yesterday morning, .L. H. Gregory pointed out how Nibs’ wonderful basketball record con trasts with the rather dismal show T Jl! v First Campus Showing Coleman Out As Beavers’ Swat Coach Gill Takes Over Baseball Mentor’s Berth Former Head To Supervise Oregon State Donut Sport Activities OREGON STATE COLLEGE Corvallis, March 3.—(Special) — Arnory (Slats) Gill, varsity bas ketball coach, has been appointed :o succeed Ralph Coleman as men tor of the varsity baseball team. The announcement was made by the athletic council today. Coleman, who has made an en viable record while coaching the Daseball squad, will take over the luties of intramural athletic direc tor. In his new position he will lave complete charge of all intra louse programs. Gill was a college star in base iall while enrolled as a student at Dregon State. He was an all Northwest baseball player and also ivas a member of the all-coast bas ketball choice for two years. Coleman formerly played Pacific 2oast league baseball, being a Ditcher for the Portland Beaver Oucks. He is a brother of Long Ed Coleman, home-run slugger for :he Beavers last year, and now a newcomer to the roster of the Philadelphia Athletics. ng he made when he was the 3ears' football coach. “And,” Mr. Gregory explains, ‘the funny thing about it all is hat Nibs originally was hired by .he late Andy Smith to be an as sistant football coach, nothing be ng said about basketball in his :ontract.” Some outstanding basketball Dlayers graduate in the northwest his year. Washington's champions ose Ned Nelson and Captain Ralph Hairney. Washington State will be iepleted by the graduation of Hlaud Holsten and Art McLarney. Dregon State loses Kenny Fagans, Terry Thomas and Howard Merrill. Dregon's two main losses are Cap ain Winsor Calkins and Hank Le voff. However, it looks like Washing ;on will have another great team rext winter. The talented Fuller will be back, to say nothing of (Veber, Hanover, Lee and the large Pete Antoncich, who may wake up ind become quite a player. Then diere’s the possibility that Kline Swygard's weak heart will start litting on all cylinders again and le might be added to the list. * * * „ .At Pullman Huntley Gordon, leading scorer of the northern di vision for the past two seasons, will return for his last year of competition. Bobby Cross also will be back. Jack Friel is on the spot at Washington State and don’t think he isn’t. They have basketball material there and ex pect the coach to produce a win ner. A “winner” means a team that can trim Washington. Ev ery time the Huskies beat the Cougars its like waving a red flag in the faces of the front- of fice boys at Pullman. They im mediately see red and demand to know whats wrong. Oregon State will have quite a squad back next year, what with Everett Davis, Skeet O’Connell, cants Last Tillies Today BARBARA STANWYCK Saturday Only y*’ DRAMA OF iW A LOVE, THAT DARED BE REAL: -1 r_T* A New Slant on Movieland Northwest Hoop Referee Makes All-Star Choice CORVALLIS, Ore., March 3.— (Special)—Ralph Coleman, Pacific coast conference basketball offic ial, who saw every northwest team in action this year, today an nounced the selection of a north ern division all-star squad. He placed three Oregon men on his outfit—Cap Roberts, Hank Levoff and Winsor Calkins. Two Oregon State men—Ken Fagans and Ed Lew’is—were accorded berths. The squad follov/s: Forwards: Claud Holsten, Wash ington State; Ken Fagans, Oregon State; Hanover, Washington; Al ton Barrett, Idaho, and Ned Nel son, Washington.

DONUT CHATS by JOSEPH SASLAVSKY The annual intramural track meet breaks into the limelight to morrow. The event will be run off at 1:30 p. m. Fourteen houses are after the trophy to be pre sented to the victor by Bill Hay ward, mentor of the Oregon track sters. Sigma Nu, winner of the 1931 melee, and the Yeomen, run ner-up last year, are not included in the fold in the fuss tomorrow. The entrants are Alpha Tau Ome ga, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Tau Delta, Friendly hall, Kappa Sig ma, Omega hall, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Sigma Kappa, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Theta Chi. The winter hike of Phi Epsilon Kappa, professional physical edu cation fraternity, will be held this week-end. Physical education ma jors are going up the McKenzie to the Obsidian lodge over Saturday and Sunday, March 5 and 6. Ski ing and other winter sports will furnish the menu of the pastim ing occupations of the walkers. « * » Apropos of baseball, spring training, et al, it appears that the only kind of donut baseball to be played next term will be of the soft pellet variety. Unless some of the men’s tongs can "muster enough money to provide for the necessary equipment for the regu lar baseball contests, they are slated to participate in “pansy baseball.” Ed Lewis and Carl Lenchitsky scheduled to return. A11 those boys are big, so Corvallis will not suffer from the lack of height that is bound to hamper Oregon again. The Webfoots’ 1933 prospects have been re peated before, but, in a nutshell, here are the lads who will be back: Cap Roberts, who should be better than ever in his last year; Gib Olinger, who’s an up and-coming lad; Jim Watts, Cliff Potter and Jack Itobertson. Some of the freshmen looked pretty fair, but the jump from freshman to varsity is so great that they can’t be depended upon in advance. * * * One of the best basketball of ficials in the business this year was Scott Milligan, who played for Ore gon several seasons ago. Although just breaking into the Coast con ference, Scott looked like a vet eran in every game he officiated. He was cool and collected in mo ments of stress, and all the coach es were more than satisfied with his work. Incidentally, Scott isn't the only athlete in the Milligan family. His I brother, “Stew,” was the star of I University high’s football team last : autumn and also is quite a basket ball and baseball luminary. An other brother, Sid, plays football and basketball at Eugene high, and is such a good golfer that even Doc Spears commented favorably upon his ability the other day. When Eugene and University meet in athletics, there's civil war in the Milligan family, with Scott acting-as 'the ■■ referee. 1 Is This the Smile of Victory? Clarence S.

The Huskies won the flag in the northern division by virtue of an 11-game winning streak late in the season.

Golden Bear To Clash With Husky Tonite Fur Will Fly as Teams Battle at Oakland Price To Match Wits With Edimmscn for Coast Basketball Title OAKLAND, Cal., March 3.— Friday and Saturday nights here in the Oakland auditorium, two masters of the basketball court, Coach "Nibs" Price of California and Coach "Hec” Edmundsen of Washington, send their teams against each other to determine the championship of the Pacific Coast conference. Both these mentors brought their squads from behind to take their division titles. The Bears took a 26 to 22 victory over U. S. C. in an extra play-off game to cop the southern crown, while Washington took its 10th and 11th straight wins and the north ern pennant by dropping their ancient rivals, Washington Stale college. Last year these two great teams met in Seattle to decide the 1931 championship. The Huskies took the first and third games to take their first coast title in years Washington has taken the north ern section title for five years straight. The Bears have failed to take the southern title only twice since “Nibs” Price took up the hoop coaching job at Berkeley. U. S. C. won in 1928 and 1930. The California squad arc slight favorites here to take the series. Coach Price has a veteran team. Kintana and Eifert, forwards, are both dangerous men. Kintana, chosen on nearly every all-south ern and all-coast team this year, is a senior. Eifert is only a soph omore but played regularly I throughout the past season. At center is Reed, one of the leading scorers of the California section. He will have a slight lieight advantage over Johnny Ful ler, Husky center. Captain Carl Vendt and Tommy Coughlan hold down the guard posts on the Golden Bear squad. Ralph Stone, noted football end, and Crowley, at the guard posts as relief. Coach Edmunusen brought 10 men south with him. Although he would not divulge the starting lineups, it is likely that he will start Lee and Hanover at for wards, Fuller at center, and Cap tain Ralph Cairney and Nelson at the guard posts. Other members of the Husky squad making the trip were Weber, Heaman, Pete, and Mark Antoncich. j Here Is a Tip, Students! « For That Different Evening « p Lunch I ry Chow Mein and Noodles $ | at the Place the Campus Is Talking About j I MANDARIN CAFE j m GO W. 10th St. Near Willamette e l/2 PRICE SALE BRITISH SHOES at DeNeffe’e Main Store Sale Positively Ends on Saturday, March 5th Better Select Yours Without Delay I errris Cash DeNeffe’s Men’s Dress Wear Donut Track Meet To Enter Opening Competition Today List of Referees, Timers For Annual.
