Loop! &DLWBT Coug Lady luck must have been looking the other way for Hap by Howard Maple at the base ball drawing in Tacoma this week.; Word now comes from that fair city to the extent that three blanks were placed in the hat along with the names of the 21 indisposed. Wenatchee and Yakima players to even the drawing to six plucks per re maining club, and Mister Ma ple's Senators drew two of the dean, white inserts. The club owners and busi ness managers agreed that they ' would be fortunatelf half a dozen of the athletes return to the West ern Internationa) this season, but even at that, with good ball play ers so hard to get these days, it's a shame Miss Fortune turned her back on the Happy one. r Of coarse campaigners like Bill Johnson and Reese can't be sneexed at, but had Happy Boward had his lucky drawers at the scene of the player pull ing party, we might have come tip with Bonetti, Bliss, McCon nell, Lien and the two Bills that would have been drawing to a pair and coming up with six aces. What a potent powerhouse 'Our Senators' could boast of with those six, pins Charlie Petersen, Eddie Adams, Frankie Dierixz, Freddie Lanifero- and the little Jersey giant, ex-Skipper Bunny Griffiths. Proficien cy plus through the middle and 'flanked on both sides with plenty of power! It's all pipe-dream, but what a ball club that would make! Netc Vancouver Out Our friend L. H. Gregory, ex ponent of 'Greg's Gossip,' points out that the possibility of Van couver, Wash., entering the league in one of the spots vacated will probably never happen. Greg looked up an organized baseball rule that says, "Territorial pro tection shall cover the entire city limits of each city in which fran chises are granted and operated, and ten miles in all directions from said city." The new would-be entry is sit uated within the boundaries of the Portland Beaver's territorial - rights, and a waiver is needed from the Schefters, Beaver bosses, before any organized ball can be played in the city across the Co- , lumbia. And if attendance records at the Vaughn street park in Portland during the past, few years . are any indication, Vancouver will never have a Western Internation al entry as long as the Schefters rule the Portland roost. Too many - Portland baseball fans travel to Salem now to suit the Schefter boys.

The Oregon State center hooked in nine field goals and three free throws, meanwhile holding Ray Turner, high-scoring Idaho center, to nine points. Turner's scoring, however, brought him within 25 points of the division scoring record. He has three games to play, one against Oregon State tomorrow night, NORTHERN DIVISION STANDINGS W L 10 5 9 6 9 6 5 9 3 10 Pet.

A presidential appeal board, without any pressure whatever from the kid American league champion, ordered Williams re classified from 1-A and deferred from selective service under a 3-A rating. Williams, who batted .406 last season, complied with draft board routine and was ready to leave for an army camp. But the local board was convinced his support was needed by his mother living in San Diego and reported its opinion to Wash ington. A presidential appeal board in cluding Lewis B. Hershey, na tional selective service director, decided the slim slugger should be deferred. Meanwhile, Williams, who spends his winters fishing and hunting In the Minnesota north woods, said he had signed with the Red Sox. He didn't say how much he gets but the local gos sip was that Ted would receive around $30,000.

Wins in Final Quarter of Hectic Game Before a packed gym full of howling and roaring fans, 1500 of 'em, kids and grown-ups alike, the Parrish Pioneers staged a grand last quarter rally to sweep to victory in the final 'civil war basketball clash with the Leslie Missionaries, 28 to 27, last night on the loser's pavilion and became the City Intramural champs. From the opening whistle to the final gong the game had every bit of action possible from the sweating and hopeful junior high school athletes. Long looping howitzers, fast lay-ins, snatches, mad scram bles, desperate dives all were prominent in the wild and hec tic game which brought the In " tramural crown to rest on the Parrish Pioneer. Bud Smith drew first blood in the riotous game with a lay-in after the opening tip-off. The play went Slater to Clark to Smith. Little Loren Helmhout, despite his miniature size, a giant of the Par rish offense, tied it up a minute later with a neat one-handed cast from the side. Mickey Tamiyasu ran the Pioneers into the lead with his bucket from the foul line after a full court dribble. Slater came through with a beauty after a mad scramble under the Parrish bas ket to knot the count, but lightning thrusts by Brandle and Helmhout gave the winners a 9-6 quarter lead. Tamiyasu ran it to 11-6 and it looked like the big Pioneers were headed for the races. But Earl Clark found the range with his long loopers late in the second heat, and aided by a lay-in by Michael just before the half time whistle, knotted the raging game once more, 13-13. The Missionaries took over the scoring lead in the third quarter on baskets by Slater, Michael and Clark. Counters from flips by Helmhout, Farlow and Garland were not enoag and Leslie led going into the final heat, 22-19. Ed Brandle and Eldon Farlow evened the count with six min utes to go, and Owen Garland shoved the Pioneers into a lead they never relinquished despite valiant efforts on- the parts of Eugene Lowe and two more tre mendous tosses by Clark. With 45 seconds left and behind 28 to 27, Clark missed his gift toss on a foul by Brandle, but they didn't give up. As the rip- roaring game ended, the Leslies were fighting like wild for pos session of the ball, being held by the stalling victors.

The only chance for 'Washington or Wash ington State to tie for th title would be for Idaho to defeat Ore gon State, the leader. After see-sawing In the first four minutes of the game, Washington led aU the way in dragging WSC out of its first place tie with Oregon State in to a deadlock for second. From a-7-6 lead at the four minute mark, Washington staged a 10-point scoring spree that proved the margin of victory, run ning the count to 17-6. After its scoreless seven minutes, Washing ton State turned the tables to blank Washington for six minutes in closing the gap to 17-11. Washington widened it again to 24-14 before it sifted down to a 24-18 half-time count Washington stretched it to a 10 point lead again early in the sec ond half and at one point led, 46 32. The visiting Cougars, defend ing champions, poured a bit more octane into their gasoline and tried to out -run Washington's Huskies, closing the gap to 46 40 before the Huskies pulled away for their 10-point victory.
