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.

WHAT baseball needs most of

most colorful figure in the

the inimitable Bambino is Jerome

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.

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!

The holdout siege of the major

Foxx of the Athletics, ended
abruptly today when the big first
baseman came to salary terms for
1934 with Connie Mack at a
short and amicable conference.
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

COMMENTS
m M
It is a settled pollry of the
Portland sport writers at this
stage of the season to deplore
the total lack of baseball talent
In the Beaver training camp,
the purpose being to convince
Tom Turner and whoever else
may have anything to say about
it, that some top notch players
in various positions are badly
needed. 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.

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

were passing wildly, neither show
lag any consistent offense. The
Mill City boys took 61 shots at
the basket, converting 11 field
goals, while St. Paul converted
10 out of 45.
Both quints showed consider
able nervousness, throwing the
ball out of bounds a good share
of the time. Mill City made three
foul shots out of 14 chances, and
St. Paul made but one out of
five. Scoring was pretty well di
vided among the members of both

St. Paul led 4-2 at the end of
the first quarter, but Mill City
found the basket in the second

City had the ball most of the
time.
Parrish Junior high school lost
to Stayton in a slow preliminary.
17-16. Stay ton's man-to-man de
fense kept the Salem lads too far
from the basket. Chiles, center for
Parrish, had a chance to tie things
up with a foul shot in the last few
seconds, but the ball bounced high
and fell outside the rim
