PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 22 The
northern division of the Pacific coast
basketball conference closes its sea
son this weekend, with Washington
State college a full two games In tho
lead at present. The Cougars, how
ever, have not clinched the title by
any means. They must win at least
one of the two remaining games with
Washington, to bo played at Seattle
Friday and Saturday nights, to put
the championship on ice. Washing
ton State college hit the Oregon: trail
two weeks ago almost a certainty to
win its first northern title since 1917.
But something happened In Eugene
that gave the Cougars a severe Jolt.
Oregon, the only team In the north
to lose to Idaho and the only north
ern quintet to hold a victory over
the Cougars up to that time, checked
Washington State's mad. rush to the
title with a double victory. But the
Cougars came back to take two from
Oregon State lost Monday and Tues
day, 28 to 24 and 28 to 26, and then
breezed through a 48 to 37 victory
over Idaho, to toko a commanding
lead once more.
Washington State now holds clean
sweeps over Idaho and Oregon State.
It lost threo out of four to Oregon
ltd only three defeats to date and
won the first two games from Wash
ington, defending champion.
The Huskies drew a blank last
week for a much-needed rest. This
week they play four tough gomes.
Tonight and Tuesday night they meet
the Idaho Vandals at Moscow, and
then come home at tackle the league
leading Cougars In a pair of tilts.
Oregon and Oregon State wind up
their four-game series this weekend.
They play at Eugene Friday night
and at CorvalUs Saturday night. As
Oregon won the first two games, the
worst that BUI Relnhort could get
would be a tie with the Orangemen.
A victory in ono "of the games would
give the Webfoota third place.
Oregon, after an unausplctous start,
has finished in whirlwind fashion.
They have won their last three
games, Saturday night they just man
aged to nose out the Orangemen, 28
to 25. Oregon State led, 26 to 10.
after eight minutes of the second half
were played. Tho Orangemen had
mode 11 consecutive points since half
time, while Oregon was completely
shut out. Then tho Wobfoots retali
ated by scoring 12 points in the last
12 minutes, and they in turn held the
Staters scoreless. The final two
games should bo as iiorcely fought as
the first two.
Tho southern teams ended their
season last weok with California and
Southern California in a tie for the
title. The Bears won from Stanford,
20 to 18, but the Trojans had to bat
tle for their lives and Just managed
to edge out tho U. O. L. A. Bruins.
35 to 31. Twtce before the Bruins had
downed tho Trojans.
The Trojans and Bears meot on a
foreign court Saturday night to de
termine a champion and tho team to
meet tho northern section winner.

Basketball Not

1ml I couch.
By Forrest C. Allen
LAWRENCE, Kas., Feb. 20 OP),
What a good heart you must have to
play the strenuous indoor game of
basketball) However, I am convinced
tho game is not too strenuous for a
normal, healthy boy.
Basketball to a spectator seems
more strenuous than It actually is,
because an observer naturally fol
lows the ball, which Is the focus of
activity.
Cabot, English physician, declares
athlete's heart a myth. Ho denies
tho heart dilates arter athletic con
tests and marathon races. In such
circumstances, ho insists, tho X-ray
shows it is generally smaller than
usual. !
Hypertrophy, or enlarged heart,
does not result from muscular exer
tion, according to Cabot, no matter
how great and prolonged, when dis
eases haven't affected the organ.
"Tho cases of weak, rapid or ir
regular heart action, occurring In
adolescence or later and wrongly sup
posed to be due to athletics, are In
fact cases of nervous heart or post
Infectious weakness, accentuated of
ten by the alarm produced by a mis
taken diagnosis of heart strain, dila
tion or athlete's heart."
FOITMIEK CONCURS
Dr. James Nalsmlth, founder and
originator of basketball, has con
ducted some scientific experiments
which substantiate tho above men-
tloned statement
A squad of young men with no
previous basketball team experience
was chosen for tho test. This group
was given tho samo dally fundamen
tal drill and team play that? a group
of varsity players would rocelvo for
a period of 18 weeks.
Dally tracings of the heart by tho
X-ray. both before and after play,
revealed no Increase in tho size of
tho heart. Indeed, In some cases, the
size showed a decrease.
ACTIVITY LIMITED
A second interesting test of a dif
ferent naturo was made on four high
school teams entered In a tourna
ment, to ascertain the actual number
of minutes that the average high
school basketball player was In mo
tion during an entlro game.
A separate watch was kopt on each
of tho 20 boys In tho games. When
over a player stopped, tho watch was
stopped and tho count was resumed
again when tho player rcsiuned ac
tivity. Tho results were as follows:
1. Average tlmo elapsed for one
ten minute period of play 13 min
utes, 8 seconds.
2. Shortest tlmo of activity for any
ono player 3 minutes, 32 seconds.
3. Longest tlmo of activity for any
ono player 7 minutes, 21 seconds. .
4. Average time of activity for each
player 5 minutes, 28 seconds.
5. Percentage of average activity of

HIS LIFE
THE
of the army when
and a half years. -
or witnessed moro foot races than he
may care to admit.
It takes something unusual to dis
turb Klvlafs cool handling of figures
and other details. Something DID,
the night of the Millrose meet, as
"Klvvy" yelled excitedly:
"Four elevenl Not Waltl Four
eleven and a flfthl That's right.
Wow I"
Kivlat referred, as you may have
gathered by now, to the sensational
world record Indoor mile run by
young Gene Venzke. It seemed for
the moment that the old-time miler
was going to lose his balance and
topp)e from his balcony perch.
"Klvvy" has seen the mllers come
and go, left many of them In the
rear himself, but he saluted Venzke
for tho greatest 1760 yards even run
In these United States.
So did 13.000 other yelling track
and field enthusiasts, many of whom
wero ..somewhat stunned to realize
that a farmer's boy from Minnesota
suddenly had stepped out, set Ills
own pace all tho way and qui to un
ceremoniously wiped out tho record
of 4:12 that Nurmi and Ray, at the
peak of their two careers, Jointly es
tablished seven winters ago in the
most spectacular Indoor track season f
ever known in this country. i
Venzke did it so easily that It will
not bo surprising to see him beat
4:10. He Is Just at the tlireshold now, I
tho same age as the Nurmi of 1920 j
wno nrsc oroKo into tne Olympic
spotlight. He Is the answer to the
U. S. prayer for another mllcr cap-!
ablo of regaining the Olympic hon
ors lost worn by Peerless Mel Simp-'
pard, in 1908. -
1.500 METER HOPE
Two years ago an obscuro Univer
sity of Oregon boy, Ralph Hill, ran
an American record mllo in 4:12 1-5,
displacing Norman Taber's 16-year-old
mark or 4:12 3-6.
Ho never duplicated or bettered
this achievement, however, and Am
erican hopes now of stopping Jules
Ladoumeguo of Franco or Laurl Leh
tlnen of Finland in tho Olympic 1600
meter run must be built around
Venzke and the power-runner who
pushed him to his record, Leo Ler
mond of tho New York Athletic club.
Ray Conger, when ho gots into
shape, may also bo counted on to
step a brisk mllo or 1500 meters.'
THE HEP" AHUIVKS
It wns only a year or so ago that
Venzko was Just onoj of tho boys,
promising but that was about nil.
His entry for tho Baxter mile, classic
of tho New York A. C. games, was
refused. Ho was told, in effect, to
"go out and get a reputation before
trying to run in such fast company."
Tho N. Y. A. C, incidentally, now
has enrolled Venzko and seems quite
proud of its young membor.
