sity of Washington and University of
California again will meet for the
Pacific Coast conference basketball
championship as a result of their
victories Saturday In tho season's
finale. The Huskies took the second
and deciding game from the Wash
lngton State college Cougars, 44 to
38, at Seattle, while the Bears
squeezed through with a four-point
victory over tho Southern California
Trojans at Oakland, 26 to 22, In the
play-off game.
. The rise of both, the Huskies and
Bears has been nothing short of
spectacular. Washington won 11
games In a row to overcome the
Cougars' great lead and to finally
edge them out In the two deciding
games at Seattle last weekend. The
score of the first was 32 to 25 In
favor of the Huskies.
Hec Edmundson, Washington coach

RUSSIA GIVES CONSENT
MOSCOW, Feb. 29 (JPH-L. M. Kar

foreign affairs, has Riven Russia's
consent for limited Japanese troop ,
transportation on tho Chinese east-
era rauway in wortn wincnuria on i
condition the Japanese promised to '
respect Soviet rights and Interests
in tho aroa.
He also called again on Japan for
an explanation of a report that
Japanese troops were mossing along
the Russian frontier. He raised the
point that use of the railway "for
strategical objects would violate the !
Portsmouth treaty of 1905 that ended '
the Russo-Japanese war and asked

to Pograntchni. I
M. Karakhan charged lust week '
that the troops were expected to bo

dented this and reiterated that the (
troops were necessary for the pro-1
tectlon of Japanese subjects in the '

a "changing situation" there. I

movement of troops only from Har- j

His statement followed an assur
