Sport Sparks By RON G EMM ELL Salem Em, Clash Toni mewe Mowers K-S JJL w w w w w w w -Basket-all la about to reach. Its pesrir bloom all across the hoop orchard. Let's take a quick look on all fronts: 1. Northern division Ore gon state with the title almost Inched; 10 rtns to two losses and bat four more to play, oae mt EgeM this Saturday, one with Oregon at Corrallis Febrnary 2S and two at Seat tle .March 1 and 2. Oregon aad Washington State, only team still' having a chance, have foar same to plajr against each other (Including last night's), and la addition Ore g bats two with Oregon State aad two with Idaho while AVRC baa two with Washington and m with Idaho. 2. Northwest conference Col lege of Paget Sound, with me wins to one loss, appears already In. Willamette, should It win all the rest of Its conference games, vhirh Include two against Col lege of Idaho this week, two srsinsl Whitman next week and one against Linfleld, could tie CPS. . 3. tto Nanse league Tilla iuook, with only one loss, meet Oregon City and Salem at home. Salem, with only two losses, travels to Corvallis and Tillamook. Salem could tie Tillamook by winning both game, providing the 'Mooks didn't lose to Oregon City, and practically no one does. 4. WVI league: Dallas, with but one defeat, has Woodbnrn. Independence and SHverton yet to play and SHverton is the only club figured to bare a chance , with the Dragons. Chemawa, Dal las' only real competitor with two losses, has Molalla. Silver ton and Independence left, and both Molalla and SHverton may give the Indians trouble. O Staters Nearly Cinch. A "guess" summary would give Oregon State the northern division, Coat conference flag, CPS the Northwest conference pennaat, Tillamook, the No Name bunting and Dallas the WVI loop gonfalon. If Oregon State won bnt two of Us four remaining game, neither WSO nor Ore gon could lose more than one more and get as much as a tie. WUcMTfr team w night can't hope to get better than a tie if it goes on to wta .all the rest, providing the Orangemen win two of their remaining four. Should Oregon State take three of the remaining four, which the Beavers should do, either Oregon or Washington State would have to win aM remaining games. Ore gon State thns becomes, at this stage, about a 100 to 1 shot to walk on Is. As for the screwy North west conference, It would take a Philadelphia lawyer and couple of CPAs to figure it out. Willamette doesn't ply CPS, and if anyoue knows how many game CPS does pUy in the conference they're keeping It a secret. It appears, however, that the Taeoma collegians are 'In," and havr only to sit by and wait for Willamette to lose another before running np the pennant. . Salem, if it played the brand of ball it did against Astoria last Saturday night, could easily turn In defeats over both Corvallis and Tillamook and thua.gain a tie for the No Name title. Dallas doesn't figure to lose any more, although Silverton U bound to be tough for the Dragons. Therefore, Dallas is pretty definitely a cinch in the WVI circuit. Where fo, Title? Whatever you do, and we handed out the same advice about this same time last year, don't sell short the Vikings for state tournament honors. Not after last Saturday night, anyway. Those kids have it, when they make up their minds to turn it loose. And when they do there isn't a high school team in the state that can beat 'em. Like last year's state titular team, thl year's Viking edi tion isn't one of poise and pre cision, Tew In Its best mo ments. It's a rip-roaring, get-that-ball-at-any cost, wham-down-the-floor, ahoot-and-fol-low type of team, and whew the kids start going they Just naturally make things too hot for the opposition. The pivot position has been the biggest headache for Coach Hauk all season. Tall Russell Satter -ii ti alal abilitv for a amu vj great center but has been prone to wnat appears IV t lapses during the stress of tough competition. When he looks good he looks unstoppable, and when he looks bad he's awful. For about half tho Astoria game he was an ail-American; In two or three. Instances he was plain dub.

Feb. lt.-JP)-The University of Oregon's na tional championship basketball team ran up a modern scoring record for the northern division of the Pacific Coast conference tonight in defeating Washington State. 71 to 41. The victory lifted Oregon into second place a half game ahead of WSC. The Oregonians seemed to hold a charm when they heaved the ball at the bsaket, which they did practically every time they got hold of it. For minutes on end. especially in the second half, they sank every shot at tempted and final tabulations showed they fired 9 6 times and hit 3. Washington State, weary after two grueling games with Oregon State last weekend, was ragged both In passing and marksman ship. Halftiine 34 to 24 The visitors managed to make a ball game out of it during the first half although Oregon never relinquished the lead. After the defending champs had worked up a 13-3 lead in the first four min utes, Washington State battled back desperately" and managed two minutes before the end of the half, to scissors the disad vantage against them to six points, 30-2 4. Paul Llndeman and Bill Chase were chiefly respon sible. In the last 30 seconds, how ever. Matt Pavalunas and Town- send scored for Oregon and the Ducks recessed with a 10-point lead. 34-24. The second half was a stam pede. From far and near, corner or keyhole, with one hand or two the Oregon lans peppered the hoop and the iron ring seemed to hold magnetic attraction for the balL Under the blistering drive WSC wilted At the peak of the storm Oregon led. 66-3 5. Coach Howard Hobson flooded the floor with second and third string reserves. A crowd of about 4000 saw the game. The win put Oregon within 2 Vi games of the leading Oregon State Beavers.

Feb. 12-Base-i ball's playing rules committee ! finally got around to giving the ! pitchers some help at their meet i ing here today. They passed a new rule which will permit the hard pressed fllngers much more lati tude in the use of their legs on the warm-up. Sponsored by Owner Clark Grlf- fith of the Washington Senators, ; the new rule provides that the pitcher may take his position with one leg outstretched behind him and have the advantage of a fall, ; swinging stride as he goes for ward to deliver the ball. t i Previously, the nioundsman has been compelled to stand fari"r the batter, with his pivot foot in front in contact with the plate, and he gained only what mo mentum he could in swinging his free leg forward from that awk ward position. The greater free dom now permitted might have a revolutionary efect upon pitching and batting averages. Collins Opposes Rale The new rule, which was bit terly opposed by Eddie Collins, general manager of the Boston Red Sox. stipulates only that the pitcher's foot most be In contact with the rubber. His other foot is free, except that he cannot step to either side of the plate, and that he cannot raise either foot until in the act of throwing. He may, in the wording of the rule, "take one step back and one for ward." Collins fought the motion, he said, because it "will cause more cheating than ever on the part of pitchers.' He declared he would rather have voted for the return of the spit-hall. "You'll see." he prophesied. "Now that they can start front from a position like a sprinter, pitchers will be lifting that front foot off the rubber and taking what amounts to two full jumps before they turn loose the ball." Other members of the commit tee, who started overhauling the rule book from cover, to cover be fore noon and continned arguing far into the night, were unani mous in adopting the rule. Slidnight Games Out Other than the pitching amend ment, they made no changes of ery great importance, and they stepped bluntly on a suggestion by Quinn that the intentional pass be abolished or penalized by giving the batter two bases In stead of one. Pitchers will go right on Issuing free trips to first, and hereafter the catcher will not even have to make a pretense of squatting behind the plate. The rule saying it constitutes a balk if the backstop stepped oat to the side before the pitcher cnt loose was removed from the book. A new rule affecting mainly the minor leagues provides that an i Inning must not be started after 1:50 at night. At least one com munity complained last season he cause games continued after mid night and disturbed the sleep et DB TT g Morning. Fobruary 13 1940 neighbors. Neither, after this, may more than two games be played by a club in a single day. Umpires hereafter will have the nnwer to forfeit a Era me anv time they believe that a club is "palp- aDiy aeiaying or snoriening a game." They also were ordered to see that pitchers do not put resin directly on the ball. Pacific Is Upset By Whitman Five WALLA WALLA, Feb. 11JP) Whitman got out of the rut of four straight defeats tonight and turned aside the favored Pacific university Badgers 39-33 in the opener of a Northwest conference hoop series. Another tilt will be held tomorrow. A dazzling shower of field goals from all parts of the court cinched the host victory in the first half, led by Bullock and Webb. At times the Missionaries paced their opponents by as much as 15 points. Pacific rebounded in the second half, and by controlling backboard play built its score to threaten in the closing minutes under leader ship of Bob and Dick Cooney, Summerville and Ellertson. Portland U Whips Angels, 30 to 19 MT. ANGEL Portland U's Pilots went one np on Mt.
