It was the second dunking of the year at the hands ' of Eddie Fitxpatrick's underlings, and it was even more decisive than the 48-43 one sustained alx weeks ago in Portland. A final 10-minute drive turned what bad been a nip-and-tuck ball game into a rout. The Pilots, though lacking the replacements of the local collegians, sailed down the home stretch under full steam. They not only drove the 'Cats off the floor offensively, but were de fensively good enough to bat bet ter than 50 per cent of Bearcat shots back down Bearcat throats. Carlin Scores 12 Forward Carlin, little Roy Har rington and lanky Bob Baughman led the last half assault that saw the Pilots take the short end of a 22-20 halftime score, pass the 'Cats at 28-26 with five minutes of the second canto gone, and spurt on through for an easy win. Carlin flipped home four two pointers in the rush, three of 'em over-the-head two-handers, and that gave him scoring honors with a total of 12. Lacking anything in the way of a consistent drive, the Bearcats got off to a slow start and were down, 9-1, with six minutes played. At that Juncture Eberly and White took over to bring the count up to 9-9 with 11 minutes gone. Baughman hit a cripple and a charity flip to give the Pilots a three-point, 12-9 edge, but big Ralph Farmer entered the fray for the Bearcats to start them off on their only surge of the game. In the ensuing nine minutes the lead changed no less than nine times, once each minute, as both quints let loose with court storm ing antics. Three whirling dervish buckets by Farmer and a pair of rebound tlp-lns by Eberly featured the Willamette side, while Scott, Carlin and Harrington were the hoop harrasaers for the Pilots. Eb erly's rebound and gift shot off Scott's Infraction put the local collegians to the fore at the half. Scott, hump-shouldered Pilot guard, displayed the neatest bit of ball-handling seen locally this year, while little Roy Harrington, his running mate, turned loose more speed afoot than had been witnessed here before this season. But it was lanky Baughman and his unstoppable swing shots from in close that was Willamette's un doing. It was the first of four games for the Bearcats this week. They take on the Ghosts here tonight, play the Oregonians in Astoria Friday night and come back here to meet the Oregonians Saturday night.

Wash.. Jan. 1.(JP) -The lengthy WTaahington State college Cougars pulled Into a tie with the Oregon State college Beavers for the lead in the north ern division coast conference bas ketball race tonight by downing the Oregonians 47 to 40. The halftime score was WSC 19. Oregon State 18. The game left them each with three vic tories and one loss. The second game ot the series, which will put one or the other undisputedly at the top of the hepa, will be played here tomor row night. Tonight's game was a battle royal from the start, and a battle of giants as well. Washington State, headed by towering Paul Lindeman, 6 feet and 7 inches tall, was paced point for point and height for height by the Beavers, who had six men who were 6 feet, 4 inches. Until the closing minutes of the game, the longest lead either squad could muster, was a 17-14 edge held by WSC at the end of the first 15 minutes. The score was tied three times and the Bea vers held one-point leads three times before WSC finally forged ahead Just after the halfway mark in the second period. Jack Jennings, veteran WSC center, put Oregon ahead 24-23 in the second period when he tipped a rebound back into the Oregon State basket. He achieved the distinction thus of sppearing on both lineups. Hunter of Oregon State opened the scoring and was followed sec onds later by Olson of WSC who caged a push shot. Olson started the Cougars on the road again in the second half and then put the game on ice when, with Oregon State leading 37-36, he caged a push shot, and followed a free throw by his fel low guard, Butts, with two more field goals, giving WSC a six point lead that was never cut down. A total of 40 personal fouls were called and seven men, five from Oregon, went to the showers because of them. Romano was the only man in the Qregon starting lineup who hadn t fouled out at the final gun. Ghosts Grab Win In Last Seconds MT.

(AP) Pinky George of Des Moines, Iowa, a little guy barely bigger than the cigar he's always smoking, is known to the fight-writing fraternity as the only boxer without a muscle ever to compete in the ring. Pinky fought as a flyweight around 1926. He cam paigned all over the United States looking for a fighter he could beat. After looking for two years in vain, he quit to become a promoter and manager. He vowed that some day he'd'eome up with a winner, in or close to the cham pionship bracket and a heavy weight to boot. After 12 years, it's Pinky's turn to howl. He finally has hit the jackpot with Less Savold, a big blond Norwegian walloper, late of Decorah, Iowa, and St. Paul, who made such an Impression on "Uncle Mike" Jacobs, the promo ter, in his Madison Square Gar den debut last week that there's talk of feeding him to Joe Louis, come September. There are 60 less pounds and Bobby Chick Pins Klamath Villain Bobby Chick, with plenty of assistance from Referee Ernie Piluso, administered Wild Pete Belcastro. the Klamath Falls heathen, his first local rasslin de feat at the armory last night. Haymakers to the chin gave Chick the third and deciding fall, They were hung on Belcastro when Piluso had his arms wrapped around him. Belcastro took the opening fall with a surfboard and Chick the second with a Boston crab. Sgt. Kenneson, Gold Hill ruf fian, took Ben Sherman into camp in the semifinal, winning the first and deciding falls via Boston crabs. Sherman won the middle fall with flying tackles. Herb Parks took the opener from Joe Lyman in two straight.

Although this 23-year-old husky has been fight ing since he was 6 (his first ap pearance was at a county fair), he'd never thought of the ring aa as steady career until he signed up with George. In fact, twice he quit in disgust. As a youngster, he knocked around St. Paul for a while, learn ing considerable about boxing from old Mike Gibbons, and then went to California with his fam ily, where he took a job on the docks to keep going. "The pay wasn't much," Lee explains, "but when the ships were in they let us go aboard and eat free. I used to knock off ev ery couple of hours and have a snack. Guess I was eating eight or nine meals a day. Savold ate himself right up to 253 pounds. Finally he returned to Sa. Paul and took a job as a bartender, which also was no help to his out-sized waistline. He had an occasional fight on the side. Women Ask Formula When Lee's contract with his first manager ran out a year ago, Pinky signed him up. The first move was to have a little less of Savold around. Pinky accom plished this by diet and exercise. He shaved Lee down to 182. Ever since, however. Pinky has been bothered by letters from women complaining their hips are get ting too large, and could Mr. George please do something about it. With less weight to carry around, Lee punches much hard er, as big Jim Robinson, his three-round victim of last week, will testify. In his boxing stance and ring movements, you can see a lot of the old Mike Gibbons' "phantom" stuff. Savold won 12 of 13 fights, ten by knockouts, under Pinky's piloting. New York fans and writers went for him like they haven't gone for a fight er since Billy Conn arrived. Now Uncle Mike Is trying to line up a fight for Savold In March with Tony Galento, Max Baer, Bob Pastor,- Conn or Lou Nova. "If he makes a good Impres sion." said Jacobs, "well think about Louis for a September bout." Ex-UO Player not Hit in Decision EUGENE, Jan. 1 C.-P)-The de cision of baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis did not affect Bob Hardy, Ford Mul len and Gale Smith, former uni versity of Oregon baseball play ers, now signed with the Detroit Tigers of the American league. Detroit's farm system was se verely jolted by Landis' decision. Hardy, a pitcher, played with Beaumont in the Texas league last year, while Mullen, a second baseman, and Smith, a first base man, were with Lake Charles la the Evangeline league.

In a seven-point declaration. Landis ruled that in every future instance of a secret player trans fer or similar covert practice he would impose a fine of $500 on the club and outlaw the partici pating officials, as well as de claring the player involved a free-agent. In addition, Landis warned that a fine ot $1000 would be assess ed from a club making any agree ment "found to misrepresent or untruthful report any material fact." Officials executing such a certificate, Landis ruled, also will be placed on the ineligible list. Landis' new rulings followed his sensational decision against the Detroit Tigers' farm system a decision which granted free ag ency to 91 players, including Ma jor Leaguers Benny McCoy, Ti gers' rookie second baseman, val ued at $40,000, and Roy Cullen bine, an outfielder bearing a $10, 000 price tag.
