The Teachers held a 7 to IS lead at the end of the first period but the Frosh had cut it down to 10 to 8 by halftime. The Freshmen took over the lead-4 in the third quarter which ended in their factor, 14 to 13. Hauk Ieads S coring Hauk, Teacher guard, led scor ing with nine points.

Bat tennis we got and in the iej atmosphere of Portland's Ice Coliseum, which In tar from being a coliseum although It is plenty icy. Somehow we asso ciate tennis with springtime and flowers, hot summer days and cold drinks. The drinks were cold and so were oor feet and the tennis, though staged by the world's best professionals, wasn't of the hottest.

For the tennis there is the usual thing to say, prepared for us by our committee of experts, Mr. John Creech and Mr. Pete Hagemann, one-time doubles champs of the city of Salem and environs.

The way he smacks a tennis ball on service Is as Professor William Lyon Phelps would say, some stuff. Loose jointed, uncoordinated Lester Stoeffen and short, lethargic George Lott are still tops as a doubles combination and beat Mr. Vines and Mr. Berkeley Bell, the drawling Georgian, handily. Later Mr. Vines (it's always mister in tennis, mister) showed that when it comes to singles be bows to nobody. Stoeffen bows to nobody either but falls over himself and trips over stray balls. We have never seen tall Les ter Stoeffen when he really had his mind on his business. Last year when the same troup plus its biggest asset, William Til den, jr., played in Portland, Stoeffen was very ill. This ap pearance, he had just been married a week or two and his blond wife, Hollywood product, was smiling at him from a ring side box. It'd take your mind off the game, too. For any promoter the t crowd that braved winter's best efforts to see a summer sport on the ice would have been disappointing. Only the hardiest of those sum mer Perennials, the tennis fans, ventured forth. The Coliseum's banked tiers presented a mottled appearance with here a customer and there a customer and every once in a while somebody like us that got in free. Last year it was almost the same weather and the pros drew a full house. The rea son, as we see it, was that among those not present was Bill Tilden. Tilden-, although an old man and about to retire, Is still the only excuse for professional tennis. He has color, even if he does over work it sometimes. If Tilden had been with this troup (he travels with another division of his pro fessionals) there would probably have been a crowd big enough to warm up even the cold - hearted Coliseum.

Linfield Willamette C. P. S Albany Pacific Forced by snow and ice on the Columbia river highway to take the long way round "Spec" Keene and his Bearcat basketball squad left yesterday for LaGrande and Walla Walla via the Wapanitia cutoff and The Dalles-California highway. The Bearcats, if they arrive safely at LaGrande,. will play a game tonight with Bob Quinn's Eastern Oregon Normal school quint before moving on to Walla Walla for a dual conference series with Whitman. Whitman Undefeated Whitman, undefeated as yet in conference play, is the big hurdle that stands in the path of Willam ette's chances for a hoop crown. With Bearcat stock already low ered by virtue of one defeat from Puget Sound a defeat at the hands of the title defending Missionar ies would virtually demolish Bear cat hopes for a championship. Last year Coach Nig Borleske'a driving team took both games of the dual series from Willamette. This year's team is apparently at least as strong as the team which went through its conference sea son undefeated last year. Two losses would spell disaster for the Bearcats. With George Erickson back In the lineup and Bill Anton again functioning smoothly Keene be lieves he has at least an even treak with the veteran Missions. Outstanding players on the Mis sionary team are Geist, Miller, Reiser and Beirwaggen, all veter ans, and Clark, a high-scoring freshman. Bearcat Lineup Strong The combination that will get the bid to open against the Whit man five will probably be Nunnen kamp and Gastineau at forwards, Anton at center and Erickson and Versteeg at gurads. With the ex ception of Erickson all of them are potential scoring threats and as a team have turned in the best Bearcat games this season. Char ley Versteeg has been the most consistent player of the group and has averaged about 10 points a game. The tilts with Whitman will be the next to last series on the Bear cat schedule which ends next week with a home and home engage ment with Pacific, February 21 and 22.'

Although the fights were a half hour late in getting under way and the program was marred by lengthy intermissions between bouts, the fans who came got their money's worth from eight fast bouts. The scheduled card called for 10 bouts, but, regard less, a good time was had by all except the promoters, Abdie and Kelly, who were rumored 1200 in the hole as a result of their venture. Main Event Missing One of the double main event bouts did not show and the other was presented as the second fight for three rounds instead of five. In that Jack Fruit of the Mult nomah club won a decision over Joe Bonn of Gervais, both weigh ing 160 pounds. In what became the main event. Frank Sidney of the Portland Boxing school gained a technical knockout over Jimmy Fairly of the state training school in the second round after a slashing battle. Both weighed 145 puonds. One of the best fights was one which was not even on the card. Doug Jones, slight Salem lad, ac cepted the challenge from the ring of Jerry Curtch, Portland, and won the decision after a fast three rounds. Results of other fights: 90 pounds Roy Oswalt, train ing school, gained a decision from Gus Sricker, P. B.
