Washington Gets Only Four Field Goals, 17 Points From Gift Stripe " " By PAUL ZIMMERMAN LOS ANGELES. March MPH Washlngton's wild finish after a alow start fell two points short tonight, as the University of Southern California won the first name of the Pacific Coast con ference championship- basketball aeries 27 to 15 before 5000 per sons. The Huskies scored .only four field foals In the contest, three inthe seedttd half but their ac curate work from the charity line put them within striking distance In the ylng moments of the eon- test. Bob Galer, leading point scor er of the Pacific northwest, failed to connect with a field goal all evening and wound up with only two points to his CTedit on free throws gained in the second half. Lee Guttero. tall Trojan center, was the mainstay of the U. S. C. attack scoring 17 points. The contest opened as a list less affair, as the smooth work ins; Tfojan attack swept through and aroundTWashington's defense to build up a half time lead of 18 to 7. Ther Huskies, notorious for their sensational long shots, had f w opportunities to shoot as the tight man-for-man defense of Southern California kept them well coTered. When they did get hold of the ball they were unable " to locate the range. With the second half, however, the contest took on a rough as pect. Jack Hanover and John Wy man capitalized on half a dozen gift tosses to close up the gap. This seemed to give Capt. Hal Lee and Joe Weber the Inspira tion they needed. Weber dropped an over-hand shot from deep in the court and Capt. Lee, standing at the center line, swished a high arc throw clean through the loop to run the score up to 27 to 25. With a little more than a min ute to play the Trojans chose to play a stalling game but an out f bounds gave Washington pos session. With only seconds left the "jail was thrown In to Capt Lee. He tried another sensational shot from the center of the court hut It was shot and the final gun sounded before the ball could be recovered. Coach Hec Edmundsen's team played through the greatest share of the contest without the ser vices of Clyde Wagner, tall cen ter; who was bothered with stomach . trouble this morning and was enly able to play during the first three minutes. The second game of the ser ies will be played tomorrow night and if the Troians win this they will take the championship. It : Southern California is defeated the series will go Into a third game Monday.

Mlfcfl WHAT baseball needs most of all just now is color, and the most colorful figure in the game right now always barring the inimitable Bambino is Jerome "Dizzy" Dean of the St. Louis Car dinals. "Dizzy" is a throwback to the days of Rube Waddell, most famous of all eccentric moundsmen. Dean lacks some of Waddell's bad habits, but that is all to the good. What Dizzy has are the colorful qualities that made his goofy predecessor one B WOODBURN, March 9. Four applications for beer licenses were made at the regular meeting of the city council Tuesday night and were approved. Applicants were Becker & Son, Mike Perd, pro prietor of the Woodburn billiard parlors, Tom Renn's pool hall, and the Club restaurant, operated by Mrs. Tom Renn. The council passed a resolution providing for an application to an agreement with the county court for collection of dog licenses with in the city and also an order upon motion to have the electricity for the Woodburn neon sign turned off, as the expanse far exceeds the sum anticipated. The matter of lowering the cost of city lighting was also discussed but no definite decision was reached. The rent for the upper rooms of the city hall was raised from $3 to $8 a month. The fire department was called out twice the past week. Tuesday a blase was extinguished in the garage on the Huseman place on the highway, used by Ed Lindekin, whose car had caught fire and was considerably damaged. Thursday the department answered a call to the home of Will Goodwin on Bradley street, where the roof was slightly damaged by fire. Use of Library Gaining, Report Increased use of the library facilities in spite of growing classroom libraries at Salem high school Is noted in the re port of Alta Kershner. librarian, for February 1934. Last month 3323 books and 'magazines were borrowed as compared: with 3026 for February, 1933. Miss Kershner's report showed circulation figures of 25 8 S for the Parrish Junior high school library and of 1315 at Leslie Jun ior high school. Fines assessed at Salem high totaled 36.95 during the past month while those at Leslie were $1.20 and at Parrish, 15.00. Story on Holtz?

He tells the world how good he is in no un certain terms and the funny part of it is that he is telling the truth. For Dean is certainly one of the greatest Dingers now performing under the Big Tent, and there are not a few baseball men who main tain that he is the best of 'em all better even than Carl Hubbell and Lefty Grove. Dean hasn't had the best of sup port from the Cardinals, and he has been badly overworked for the past Medford is Mad; Beats Lithiah Five MEDFORD, Ore., March S.-UP -Fighting mad because seven re gulars had been disqualified, the Medford high basketball team flashed a 26 to 24 overtime vic tory over Ashland high here to night. Seven regulars were ousted for painting an Ashland barn recent ly, but luckily the second and third strong players were not in the escapade. A crowd of 2000 people yelled themselves hoarse as the Pear- pickers crept np on 'ielr tradi tional rivals after trailing 16 to 8 at the half. The game was rough at times. The score was tied In the last minute of play when Van Dyke, a substitute forward, caged a one handed shot from the sideline for Medford. Early In the overtime period Van Dyke dropped in an other sensational shot to give Medford a two point lead. Ash land missed a free throw in the Galinskl, White and Ettinger scored at the start of the second half and the lead see-sawed un til near the end. Hoxie, Ashland forward, played a brilliant game. A third game will be played next Friday night on a neutral floor to decide the championship of southern Oregon and the state tournament entrant for the dis trict. Ashland won a previous game. Oregon Chemical Society to Meet In Salem Today Adolph Ziefle, .. dean of the school of pharmacy at Oregon State college, will address the meeting of the Oregon chapter of the American Chemical society which will be held here today. "Why We Need a New Pure Food Law." will be the title of Dean Zietle's talk.' Any one In terested In the subject Is invited to attend the meeting which will be held at Willamette university beginning at 7:30 o'clock. A din ner will be held for the society at the Argo hotel just before the meeting. - The Tugwell and Copeland bill which la - now under discussion and formation In the . United States senate would supersede the present pure food and drug act which has been In force since 190$. The present law has shown Itself to be unable to handle mis leading radio and magazine ad vertising. The new bill is Intend ed to cope with many of the pres ent evils, and to be flexible enough to stop any new Ideas from preying on the public couple of seasons, but nevertheless he has succeeded in chalking up re markable winning records, besides leading the league in strikeout to tals. There is no telling how many games the Dizzy one would be able to win if they gave him enough rest between starts, and if his team was a strong pennant contender. The irrepressible Dean is on record that he expects to win thirty games next season, and maybe he will at that. This guy is liable to accomplish anything he says! OwnUht. Hit. KItk fMtant KmdlcU. Im.

According to Mack, it did not take more than two minutes of conversation to settle their dif ferences. ' Neither the veteran manager of the Athletics nor his prize slugging pupils would dis close the final terms. It was authoritatively learned, however. Foxx came to terms for not less than $18,000 and possibly as much as $20,000. Jlmmie ac cepted a one-year contract with no bonus clauses. MIAMI.

Cal., March . -flVIncorporation papers for the American Professional Football league, which plans to franchise eight or ten Pacific coast cities to engage in a regular series of pro fessional football, were filed with the secretary of state here today. Dirctors of tho company are R. E. Whittlesey and Matthew H. Gallagher of Los,Angeles and Jo seph O'Connor of San Francisco. The league's principal place of business is at Los Angeles.

It happened two years ago when the Beavers stepped out and won a pennant. So there is nothing especially sig nificant about the present pan ning that Tom and bis new-old manager, Walter McCredie, are taking. Nevertheless the lack of a catcher of proven class AA ability and knowledge, especially with a camp full of rookie pitcher who may have to carry a considerable portion of the load, really does look serious. Such a catcher may be picked up later, but he ought to be there right now, "helping the young strong-arms along. We may get to calling Bull dog Jackson. "Poor," not that he isn't really a swell fellow and a good sport aside from the necessity of nursing along that crowd hate, but because be is "always with ns." Tuesday night he officiated at the wres tling show; next Tuesday night he will wrestle. His opponent is Stan Crawley. The main attraction is the first appearance here of Ken Hollis, newcomer who is declared by those who have seen him perform in Portland to be the class of the circuit at present. He meets Cow boy Heinz in the main event, the spot originally reserved for Robin Reed. Joe Kirk and Jack Curtiss will provide the opening activity. UHIDEO LEFTY VENTURA, Calif., March 9-;P) -Elmer Crampton, young Hills dale, Mich., southpaw pitcher who drove an automobile overland to get a chance on the Portland club, appeared today to have gained much favor In the eyes of the Beaver baseball officials. Manager Walter McCredie and Roy Mack, business manager of the club, gave the rookie a lot of attention in the long workout aft er the local spectators had shout ed loud and long: "Bring out that southpaw." The Beavers meet the Ventura Merchants In a practice game to morrow and then split np the club, sending the regulars north for a game with the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday while the reserves clash with the Merchants again.
