Pilots -Bearcats Clash: Tom 0?mff. r ' 1 - r V- i ERNIE ROSTOCK 1,563 down, 35 to go, 200 minutes to go get 'em in, and Hank Luisetti's brilliant record compiled while Hank was hooping 'em for Stanford's Reds during the 1935-38-37-38 seasons will trek the track of the gone-but-not-forgottens. Which means, briefly, that Ernie Rostock, Eastern Ore gon College of Education's 6-foot 1-inch basketball specialist, has only 35 p o i n t s to pot in five more games to insert his name above Luisetti's as the nation's all-time collegiate high-scorer. That adds up to an average. of exactly seven per contest left, and if Ernie's past three and a half years of hot hooping mean any thing at all, it's a safe bet -no, a cinch that the one-man gang will' emerge at the end of the sea son wearing Luisetti's crown. In Ernie's first year out at EOCE, he averaged nine points a game, increased it to 14 his sec ond year, and ran that to 19.1 last season. Thus far this semester the La Grande looper has hooped for an 18 per game average, which, if kept up, will make the ex-Stanford star's record second-best with considerable to spare. Shooting from any position, coming in or going away, set shots f r hook shots, Ernie's specialty seems to be a right-handed toss with a peculiar wrist flip. His coach. Bob Quinn, says he plays guard, but fans say that he plays a side-position on offense and har ries the daylights out of oppo nents. If they concentrate on him too much, that leaves another eastern Oregon player unguarded, and if they leave just one man on him well, an 18 point per game average speaks in a loud, clear voice to any would-be guard or guards. The Harlem Globetrotters., that basketball bucketing brigade of dark and "dusty tactical" hoop ers, will have to really look to their laurels next Friday night when they tangle with the strong Seattle Motors quint at Tacoma. The Seattle outfit, leading candi date for the fast Seattle city loop and often involved in AAU tour . naments, boasts some of the great est graduates of Northwest college basketball. For a change, the Trotters will actually be "looking up to their opponents, who will not only, out - distance-into-the ozone the dusky boys, but who, with their collective coast confer ence competition backgrounds, will be well read in the art of us ing elbows, hips, and holding tac tics, a practice the Trotters are so adept at. Such former stars of northwest courts as "Big Dick" Taylor, one time Everett high school whiz and later a , Stanford iniyersity ,big; "Jumping John" Dick of Univer sity of Oregon fame; "Moose" Schlicting, ex-Husky hooper; George Ziegenfuss, "the smooth est performer the Huskies have had in years"; and Bill Chase, an ex-Cougar great, make up the Se attle roster. O From rags to riches and maybe back to rags again soon could be the idiom applied to the status of Washington State's Cougars, (bas ketball kind) in the present wide- nnm chase for the championship of the upper division dunkers. Up setting all the dope in the bucket by tieing two losses to the Hus ky's tail in last week's series, the Cougars can now take a longer look up the title road, while the Huskies, hot favorites last week, and 1 victorious over Idaho last night, whom they play again to night, have lost a lot of the prea tige they had a week ago. The Cougars, with a seven to four average, risk title chances in a clash with Idaho next Saturday. The Huskies, also toting a seven and four percentage and sharing the loop lead with WSC, can take a breath after tonight's second Idaho game. Oregon and Oregon State wind up their season's hos tilities with each other in two clashes this weekend F r i d a y night at Corvallis and Saturday night at Eugene. SHOULD the Beavers defeather the Ducks In ..both those games, and SHOULD the Huskies smack Idaho again tonight, and SHOULD the Cou gars make it number nine on the chin for the Vandals Saturday night, the upper division stand ings would be as tied up as Mus solini's nefarious navy, with Bea vers, Cougars, and Huskies all ruling the roost Tn tVtm lni7r division. - southern scribes have Stanford's skyscrap ers sized and fitted for ruler robes, although the Indians ex press was ambushed by those ter rible Trojans Saturday night, af ter the Reds romped over Sam Barry's basketeers Friday night Vikings Go to Milwaukie in Quest of 7th Haukmen Expect no Easy Time; Salem Won 1st Game, 40-32 Salem high's No-Name league leading Vikings travel to Milwau kie tonight, where they meet Coach McKeel's Maroons in hopes of grasping their seventh straight league victory. The capital eity preps, who recently dropped an ont-of- league battle with the Tillamook Cheese makers, expect no easy time with the Maroon hoopers; who feU to the Vikin attack 44 to 32 in an earlier meeting, bat who stayed nip and tack with the Haukmen until the fi nal stretch. The Maroons are headed by little Dale Meany, spark-plug guard, who netted ten points in the previous Vik engagement. Wayne Sawyer and Bob Gribble, a pair of forwards, also teamed to cause the Viks front court worry, as did Center Don Deamster. A new combination has broken Into the fast-improving Vik fold since the Initial Ma roon fracas, however. Wally Gemmell Is now free from eligi bility worries, and has been playing- some banc-up ball for . Hank's hoopers. G o r d y Mc Morris, Improving with every Came played, is doing; a fine Job of filling the large vacancy in the Vik machine left by last year's all-state Eddie Salstrom. It was Gordy, in a relief role, along with Dutch Simmons and Don Cutler, who pat the Mil waukie crew away in the fleet ing minutes of the first game. The four mentioned, along with dutch-man Bad Coons, form the starting five for tonight's set-to.

The halftime score was Wash ington 19, Idaho 17. Washington had to come from behind in the last five minutes of the game to take the victory from the cellar-dwell -lng Vandals and then won mostly by the superior reserve strength which gave the Husky first line a breathing spell for the final dash. With the score tied at 30-30, Idaho's ace and center, Ray Tur ner, fouled out halfway through the second half. Despite the loss the Vandals edged up to a 35-34 lead with five minutes to go, when the Washington starters re turned' to the floor and walked off with the victory. I jr unfile weir louieu speea, uie Chuck Gilmur, a towering ath lete who was really a tower of strength around the backboards, was the highlight of the Husky drive. He flipped through seven field goals and four free-tosses for 18 points, to lead the scoring scramble by a country mile. Most of his field goals were tip ins from the boards. Turner, generally Idaho's scoring ace, forsook bis role of sharpshooter In an effort to stop Gilmur and as a result foaled oat of the game trying to check the backboard ace. Cliff Benson, sophomore guard playing his first varsity season, was Idaho's leading man with 10 points. The victory gave Washington seven conference wins against four defeats, and a tie for the lead with Washington State.

Cox Hear Ye All Whistle Tootin' Hoop Refs Here's Succor LAWRENCE, Kas, Feb. 9-QPhU you're a basketball official and feel low after having a mess of boos blown in your face, let Dr. Phog Allen, the caustic Kansan, fix you up with this pre scription: " - -i 'S V:- "Just tell 'em it's impossible to do a good job out there on that race track, . "Basketball today Is just a pell-mell, slam-bang scramble." asys t he Kansas nnlverslty coach. "It makes good officiat ing Impossible. Good officials Just can't get the Job done be cause they arent allowed to ride motorcycles on the floor." Teel better? Let the doctor go farther: - - - , : The game today Is terrible affair from the players' viewpoint It's Just a race, a collision and a shot before a crowd yelling its heads off mostly at the referee." He believes the cleverness Is gone and blames it on the rule makers. ''-' ' - They eliminated the center Jump something Doc Allen never will get over. This turned the sport Into race-horse scurry and a lot of panting and sweating. Why isn't the jump put back in? The same was too alow for the spectators in the good eld days," he fumes. The crowds 'go for speed, the aaore banging around, the better. They like to see the baS change hands at least a. hundred times ee they think the beys are laying down. The crowd simply loses sight of the finesse that is so conspicu ous by Its absence." : But Phog, your Jayhawk team is coe of the hottest fire wagons in the Big Six this, season. ' We mnst play that way be cause we have to if we didnt the rest of 'em would through the cracks." , . Gvil War on Again at Vik Villa Tonight Parrish and Leslie junior high schools, those arch-rivals of Sa lem's Intramural league, come to gether again tonight in another clash of their "big little game" series on the Salem high school floor at ,8 p. m. Coach Gurnee Flesher's Les lie's, under the leadership of Earl Clark, high-scoring guard and hero of the first Leslie-Parrish game, when he potted a one hander from mid-court with sec onds to play to win the game for the Missionaries, are currently riding high on top of the stand ings with an unbeaten record. Frank Brown's Parrish quint, who would like nothing better than to topple the loop's number one team, ride close behind the Les lies in second place, their lone loss coming on the heels of Clark's howitzer. Heretofore, neither the Pio neer court nor the Leslie maple auditorium could adequately seat the large crowds that usually turn out for the tradi tional tilts. This particular fra cas was originally intended for the Parrish floor, but has been moved to the high school gym to accommodate the expected fans. Starting lineups for the north- enders will be Loren Helmhout and Mickey Tamiyasu at for wards; Ed Brandle, center; El don Farlow and either Owen Gar land" or Bob Mentzer, guards. The smooth-working league leaders will probably open with Deb McLoughlin and Bud Smith or Howard McCaulley up front: Jack Slater, center; Eugene Lowe and Clark, guards. A pair of sophomore games are on deck for noon today at the high school, when the Greens tangle with the Eeds, and the Giants clash with the Yankees in other Intramural loop contests.
