MAY PLACE FIRST
(Continued from Page One)
Washington high schools of Portland
are expected to furnish La Qrande
tho keenest competition with Pen-,
dleton, Mac-Hi and Ontario due to
mako a strong showing for Eastern
Oregon.
Of the three last named teams, On
tario has the best chances for first
places, duo to the ability of Baker
to hurl the dlseus close to 119 feet
and Prahl's pole vaulting, which set
a new Eastern Oregon record of 11
feet, 6 Inches, which happens to tie '
tho state meet record. If ' those two
boys perform at Corvallis as they did 1
in La Grande, Ontario may take home
about 10 points. ...
Murks Not So Strong
Pendleton's chances ' for a first
place ore slim, unless It comes from
tho prowess of Wilbur Kidder, hur
dler, high Jumper and weight man.
Ho enters four events and Is strong
111 an and it is not unh&ciy that ho
emerge victor in one at least. He
was tho only Buckaroo who could
win a first place In tho Eastern Ore
gon meet. . . ; .
McLoughlln's best bot Is Miller,
who was barely nosed out by Beery
last Saturday in tho 100-yard dash,
and who finished a few yards behind
Beery in the 220. Miller also broad
Jumps over 21 feet, and that may
brings points. Hufford, quarter mllcr,
wilt faco throe or four men who, arc
rt'nnlug tho 440 In close to record
time, and will be fortunate if he

also strong enough to bear watching,
with such splinters as Miller and
Markham running.

Radio Commission
Asked to Say "No"
WASHINGTON, May 7 (P) The
radio commission was called upon
yesterday by Senator Dill to refuse
a license to the Radio Corporation of
America as a result of tho supremo
court's refusal to review a decision
holding tho corporation had violated
tho ontl -monopoly law by its tube
clause -contriict. t
Tho Washington Democrat, who
was co-author of the radio law, said
it "directs" the radio commission to
refuso to grant a license "to an op
pllcant who Is guilty of establishing
a monopoly or attempting a monop
oly." "If there bo doubt os to tho power
of congress to mako such a law." the
senator said, "let tho commission
refuse to grant one license for the
purpose of making it a test case In
the courts.
"The commission can extend other
licenses while that case Is being tried.
By such a plan the commission will
bo obeying tho law and the com
munication service established by the
Radio corporation will not be disturbed."

LONDON. May 7 iy Religious
sculptures nearly 4.000 years old have
been brought to London by C. Leon
ard Woolley from Ur of the Chaldes.
They include Inscriptions and tab
let which throw new light on the
history and re lis Ion of people who
lived about 2,000 B, C.
Sculptures of tho time of Abra
ham, about 3.000 to 1.800 B. C. rep
resent tho worship of God by the
cemmon people. They were found in
little chapels built along the public
streets of Ur.
WASHINGTON (A) How much
metals stretch when heated to high
temperatures is being tested by a
specially-devised apparatus at the
bureau of standards.
The piece of metal to be tested
Is fastened so that levers exert a
strong pull upon It. Then a small
electric furnace heats the metal to
the desired temperature.
Experimenters can dctennlne Just
how much the metal has stretched
by sighting through a small door in
tho sido of tho furnace. They use
an optical measuring telescope which
measures a stretch as small as two
tcn-thousandaths of an Inch. Metals
aro tasted at temperatures ranging
up to 1600 degrees Fahrenheit.

t Sport Slants :
By Alan .1. Gould
(Associated Press Sports Editor)
Nothing being more welcome these
spring days than an argument, the
following letter from Ira Mtnnihln
of Hadlock, Wash., oom.es at an op
portune time:
"We had an argument at school
concerning well known athletes. Two
of my teachers, being University of
Illinois graduates, contended Red
Grange along with Jack Dempsey
and Babe Ruth were the best known.
I agreed with them on the latter
two, but said that Red Grange was
virtually unheard of today. I would
like to know which three athletes
New Dowrulraft

FOR MODEL A FORD IS HERE
More speed and less pis.
Burgess Battery
& Electric Station
Opposite La Grande tiroerrr
havo received the most newspaper
space in the last seven years."
RCTH, JONES, DEMPSEY
The answer is a lot easier than
it may, seem, there being no ques
tion in this observer's mind that
the three most publicized figures
of sport for the boom period of
1923-30 are Babe Ruth, Bobby Jones
and Jack Dempsey.
Nationally, 1 do not think there
is any question of Ruth's leader
ship, whether it is figured in agate
lines, mileage or bushel baskets.
The greater international fame of
Jones and Dempsey, in sports which
carry a much more universal appeal
than baseball, puts these two per
formers well up to the Babe's level.
To confirm our views on this
matter we polled a group who make
it. their business to scan, prepare
and direct the flow of The Associated
Press news report. Their opinions
put Ruth and Jones in a tie, close
ly followed by Dempsey, with Helen
Wills Moody and Knute Rockne
next.
Ruth has an edge over most of
his rivals by reason of being in ac
tion daily lor better than half the
year. He can play up to 154 games
a season. His showmanship at all
times begets an amazing amount of
newspaper space. No other ball
player ranks even close to the Babe
in this respect, and the list in
cludes Cobb, Mack, Hornsby and
McGraw.
Jones and Dempsey have much
fewer opportunities to crash the
public prints Nevertheless they have
caught and held the public interest
over a long stretch of time. Demp
sey, although he lost the world's
championship in 1926, outdistanced
his rival, Gene Tunney, when it
came to public attention.
HARDLY SIXTH
Red Grange, sensational as wore
his exploits for three college years
of football, hardly would rank In
tho first six when it comes to
aggregate mention in the public
prints over the seven year period
under consideration here. More
over, Grange's activities were re
stricted to a few weeks each fall.
Helen Wills, Knute Rockne, Big
Bill Tilden and Gene Tunney pos
sibly all would rank above Grange
in total wordago over the span of
1923 to 1930. - Rockne, in his me
teoric lifetime, furnished, the most
magnetic personality in football
history by a wide margin.
Tilden, roaming all over the
world In pursuit of tennis honors,
gained moro publicity than any
other figure In his specialty, Includ
ing Queen Helen.-
Grange, in his sophomore year at
Illinois in 1923, received hardly any
moro publicity than did Yaleto Al
taic Booth in the 1929 football cam
paign. Army's Red Cagle was very
much In tho gridiron spotlight for
four years. These football figures,
however, pass swiftly from the
scene when their college days are
over so far as the real headlines
aro concerned.
The question of supremacy among
the all around athletes won't be
settled this year until they have it
out in the decathlon championship
at the National A. A. U. meet In
Lincoln. July 4, but the Olympic .
prospects are bright enough with I
performers such as Jim Bausch of
Kansas, Buster Charles of Haskell,
Bamev Berllne-er of PnniiRvlunriio nnH
Jim Stewart of Southern California
available for 1932.
Bausch, whose exploits have been
moro conspicuous heretofore on the
gridiron, sprang a sensation by beat
ing Charles, tho Indian, os well as
tho American decathlon record, at
tho Kansas relays. It required a re
count among the timers for the final
event, the 1500-meter run, to give
Bausch the verdict and relegate Lo,
the poor Indian, to second place.
Tho ideal decathlon performance
would bo a combination of the best
features of Bausch and Charles. The
Jayhawfcor excels in the field events.
whereas tho Indian specializes in the
runs and Jumps.
ucritnger nas the ability to break
the world's record of something over
8000 points if he can strike a day
wnen no isn c slumping m one or
two features of the ten-event grind.
Big Barney fell off in the polo vault
and 1500-meter run at the Penn l'C-
lays, In addition to which tho tim
ers forgot to clock him in the 100
meters and made a conservative uuesa
at his performance.
Three of the four sprinters who
won the 440-yard "football relay" at ,
Des Moines for the University of ;
Texas will play against Harvard at
Cambridge in October. They are El
kins, regular quarterback; Stafford,'
an all-Southwest conference half J .
back; and Craig, second-string half-'
back. In addition, my Texas scout -advises,
the Longhorns have an all-
conference fullback, Ernie Koy, and'
a sensational sophomore quarterback, ',
Bohne Hilliard,; who ran the varsity
ragged In scrimmage last year. .

Joe McCarthy may be pardoned
for tho suspicion that his baseball :
fortunes are being followed by a '
first-class Jinx.
Marse Joe felt tt was perhaps all
for the best when he left Chicago '
for New York after a seasin In which ;
his Cubs were riddled by injuries
and even death, the team beaten
out for the pennant and his Job j
finally taken away from him. j
"Things could hardly havo been :
worse," mused Joe, who thereupon t
took hold of .the Yankees with un- I
disguised relief and proceeded to !
send them off in the American :
league derby at a rapid pace. j
Maybe it was all a dream or a i
decoy, but Marse Joe suddenly dis- '
covered his outfielders collapsing in '
piatoon lormation. injuries to Babe 1
Ruth, Dusty Cooke, Myrll Hong and ;
Sam Byrd came along so fast that on
one afternoon McCarthy was obliged
to put a second baseman in right i
field and a pitcher in left field. j
As if that' wasn't enough to make
him gray-headed. McCarthy was on !
the third base coaching lines when !
Lou Gehrig hit a home run against 1
Washington that went to waste be- j
