parks
. To retain their exceedingly
slim mathematical chance for
the northern division, Pacific
Coast conference casaba cham
pionship, the Oregon State
Beavers must defeat Oregon at
Eugene tonight. A loss not only
pretty definitely puts them out
of all contention and the Washing-
A 4"M..i-a v T-n file
leaves them with a fight on their
hands with Oregon for second
place. .
: Should the Beavers win,
they'd enter next week's four
came series with Idaho and
WSC with eiht won and four
lost and would need to sweep
In order to rain a tie with the
' win Saturday's 'clash with
Idaho.
Should the Ducks dump the
Beavers, making it three of four
t for the year, the Staters would
leave on their perilous four-game
Inland Empire trip with seven
won and seven lost going into the
Washington series at Seattle next
weekend.
The title can be assured this
week, before next week's con
cluding six games. If Oregon
State loses to Oregon tonight
and Washington State wins
from Idaho Saturday night, the
title belongs to the Cougars no
matter what happens in next
weeks' game.
Remaining conference schedule:
OSG at Eugene tonight; Idaho at
Pullman Saturday; OSC at Mos
cow larch 3 and 4; OSC at Pull
man and Oregon at Seattle March
T and 8.
First for Froth?
No records are at hand to sub
stantiate the statement, but I
rather believe the sizzling Salems
Tuesday night became the first
high school hoop team ever to
whip a John Warren coached
University of Oregon Frosh club.
As I say, proof isn't readily ob
tainable, but I can't recall any de
feat sustained by the Duckling
dunkers at the hands of a prep
school club in the past six sea
sons that Warren has been coach
ing them.
That the win was far from any
fluke is emphasized byWarren's
Ownprediction, made your cor
respondent five minutes before the
game started, that Salem would
win.
"Those two little forwards
(Simmons and Salstrom) are
jast too good at putting the ball
in the basket," said Honest
John.
The Salem kids won despite
eight and weight handicaps that
irt
made their struggle for back
board control doubly tough, and
despite the fact the varsity five
went the whole route while nu
merous substitutions served to
keep the Ducklings fresh for the
terrific pace.
Maybe the Salstrom-Simmons-Irish-Bower-Coons
combination
won't win the 1941 state prep
title, as this observer predicted
a month ago; maybe they'll get
knocked over by the powerful
Pelicans from Klamath Falls in
the semifinals; maybe, even, they
won't get over their first game.
Nevertheless, I stll think it
'' one of the best high school
1 combinations I ever saw, and I
have a feeling It'll take an epi-
demic of. the measles or the flu
.. to stop It, rather than K. Falls
- or any other high school team in
the state.
Fear vs. Speed,
Wally Johansen, former Oregon
great who is now sports editor of
the . Astortan-Budget, attributes
Astoria's 34-point loss to Salem to
"paralyzing fear' . . . Nope, Wally,
twasn't-that . . It was the same
thing that used to happen to Ore
gon - opponents when v Messrs.
Johansen and Anet were outrun
ning 'em ... I'd call it "paralyz
ing speed."

Clash in
'Salem Night'
The star rookie' forward line
of the Portland Buckaroos will
dash out on the ice at the Coli
seum in Portland tonight as the
Bucks pay honor to the capital
city with a "Salem night" pro
gram. Their opponents will be the re
cent sensation of the league, the
Vancouver Lions, who cut loose
with a winning streak that put
them right on the heels of the
leading Spokane Bombers. Game
time is 8:30 p. m.
Through special arrangement
with Owner Bobby Rowe of the
Bucks, The Oregon Statesman is
printing an exchange coupon

The Mighty Mite has decided the
time has come to make the change
to the slower job.
On the forward line Manager
Rowe will start the prize forwards
Fergus Grieve, Ching Dheere
and Wolf Beaulieu. Alternating
will be the veterans Lou Holmes,
Eddie Oulette and Jim McFaddan
With Martin on defense will be

To Meet Northern Champ
As Originally Set
PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 26 (AP) The conflict between
examination and basketball dates has been settled so that Stan
ford casabamen can engage in the Pacific coast conference play
off in March, Coach Everett Dean said tonight.
The Indians, winners of the southern division crown, were at
first fearful that they'd be unable to meet the winner of the
northern division championship because examinations would
cover the March 14, 15 and 17 dates for the games, which will
be played on the court ox tne nor
thern victor.
"All players have received
permission from their profes
sors to postpone their final ex
aminations for the quarter,"
Dean said.
Stanford still has two more
games to be played with Califor
nia this weekend, but even a dou
ble victory for the Golden Bears
would not take the southern divi
sion leadership from the Indians.
Winner of the northern divi
sion race is yet to be determined.
Washington State now is in the
lead.
Dean said that should Stanford
win the conference title, the post
ponement of examinations would
permit the players to go to Kan
sas City, Mo., for the NCAA
championship March 20, 21 and
29.

Mazerian Gets

Mat Decision
Screaming women and fist-

lem's armory arena Wednesday
night in protest of Referee Tex
Hater's decision in favor of
Meanie Mike Mazerian, Ar
menian blacksmith, over Walter
Sneeze Achiu, popular Chinese
grappler. ,
The decision, giving Mazerian
the third and deciding fall in top
main event mix, was a hairline
one that Achiu, himself, thought
was unjust Hager ruled Achiu's
shoulders were pinned for the
necessary three seconds when the
veteran Chinese wasn't even
aware a count was in progress.
Mazerian, whom an uproarous
crowd baited all the way, took
the first fall with an arm para
lyzer, while Achiu came back to
win the second in 18 seconds with
flying tackles.
Silent Rattan, deaf mute, de
feated Elton Owen in the second
main event of the three-star show,
using a flying full-Nelson for the
deciding fall.
Tex Hager took a handicap af
fair from big George Kitzmiller
in the opening session. Kitzmiller,
who was to have thrown Hager
twice inside 30 minutes, instead
found himself pinned.

Expects to Receive Army Nod
In June; Won't Volunteer .
CHICAGO, Feb. 26 (AP) Big Hank Greenberg, the De
troit Tigers' slugging outfielder, made it clear today that hell be
there when the bugle blows.
"I been making statements about this army business all the
way from here to Honolulu," he said after climbing off a train
from Los Angeles today.
"What there to ssyT rm in
class one. Ill be ready to go
whenever they call me." He
said he looked for a call about
next July.
A selective service board offi
cial in Detroit disclosed yesterday
that Greenberg had suggested he
be placed in class two, where he
would have had a six months de
ferment on the ground that his
"years of earning power" were
limited.
Asked about his report Green
berg exploded:
"If yoall read those Ques
tionnaires youll see that they're
supposed to be confidential.
But every time they call up that
guy In Detroit he Issues some
kind of new statement"
A reporter asked if there were
any chances of his volunteering
now so that his army training
would not cut into two baseball
seasons. "No sir," he said with a
grin. "Ill go when they collar
me."
