[ 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

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

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.

Anchorage last night. Fifteen var
sity natators, Manager Roy
Brown, and Coach Jack Hewitt at
tended the dinner.
Two honorary captains, Charlie
“Red” Foster and Paul Lafferty,

stroke; and Wally I-Iug, sprinter,
were the recipients of the coveted

stroke and medley relay; Robert
Hart, backstroke; Richard Moor

served in the capacity of honorary
captains. Paul was also far out ir

points. Salem high and the O. S.
C. rooks provided competition for
the yearlings.
To Bob Needham goes the honor
of being high-point man in the
varsity O. S. C. victories with 18
points to his credit. Francis
Oglesby rgnd Ferd Fletcher tallied
12 counters each, while Brooke,
Foster, and Lafferty accounted for
10 apiece. Nigh and Sherman
amassed 8 and 5 points, respec
tively.
“Red” Foster functioned as
toastmaster at the banquet and
j the handsome titian-haired lad
j dominated the gathering with his
! masterful command of the English
j language. Speeches were in order
and every member present re
i sponded with a flow of rhetoric.

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.
