Rp'ss-W agner Punching Party Set for Armory Ring Tonight s titer M,MMM Boo, open yer eyes: And speaking of basketball officials, this marks the 19th season as a Coast conference whistle footer for Emil Piluso, the Sapper stylist regarded as:No.M in the north west's striped-shirt clan , . Mustachioed i Emil started riding herd on the hooD - suiters in a - !" - Seattle church league back in 1922, and since has worked hundreds of games from jun ior high school grudge battles to national AAU tournaments. . . . Says he's had too many of each kind to name the toughest or most screwiest tilt he's ever had. His conception "They're all toughs." V." Has a theory on the boo' business also. Opines he:"4I figure a 90 per cent per- feet called game is perfect the way they play basketball now adays. That gives 10 per cent to the customers to boo or we'll say 10 boos a game. If they don't get 10 boos a game let 'em kick for their money back on the way out. Anyway, as long as they don't boo the figures of f the check, let 'em boo!" . . . (Ditto, Mr. P) . Piluso will as usual be quite busy this winter since he has 20 Northern division games scheduled along with his "side" stuff, the'latter in instance the NDPCC tourney at Astoria this week j it , it end Vuu all Ul aic uic . Oregon-Oregon State, Washington those 'easy ones oh, me." . . . Speaking of that Astoria 'preview, it'll be an all-interstate affair both the Oregon teams against tbe Washington teams. Idaho, fifth NDPCC member will not be vepresented . Oregon opens against Wash ington for 20 minutes Friday night after which Oregon State takes up the Webfoot score and Washington State the Husky score. Then the Beavers and Cougars finish out the first game ... In game No. 2 of the nightly doubleheader, Oregon starts out with Washington State and then the Beavers again step in after 20 minutes to take over the Webfoot score while the Huskies do likewise with the Cou gar count i . . The four teams do it all over again Saturday night, but in no case will Oregon play against Oregon State or Washington gainst Washington State ... Replica of 1916 OSC-WU Hoop Clash The scoreless first 10 minutes of the Oregon State-Willamette mix Friday reminded Les Sparks of another OC-WU hoop party, this one back in 1816 when "Matty" Mathews mentored the Methodists and How Ray was both player and coach for the Staters . .-. After bearing", up and down the. local court the first half the Staters were in front S to 7. Bad enough for a basketball score right thero, but so stout were the defenses of both teams that neither could make more than a single field goal apiece the second half and Orgon State won 10 to 9! . . . Wunner what Sparks compared with Saturday Bights 'Cat-Music- Maker 'Tubx?' Mebbe"tersst Stand" or the "Commandos Strike at 8 p. m." . . ' . Phew! Was it ever a roughie! ; . . While on' basketball don't forget the two biggies for village courts this week the Viks against a potent Springfield quint at the Villa Thursday night, the Navycats against probably the best basketball team in the northwest, Albina's Hellshippers at the university Fri day night . . In case you don't already know,, at least three well known athletes hereabouts, now hoop lor the . Hellships Urgel "Slim" Wintermute, the ex -Oregon "Alleycat" All-American; Roy Helser, the one and same who portsided for the Senators nine after he three-sported at Linfield, and Claude "Skeets" O'Connell, the former Monmouth Normal cage star who in '42 hit so well while out fielding for the Senators until he broke a finger and had to quit. . . . If Duke Trotter's V-12'ers -are going to snap out of their all- shoot no-score lethargy they'd better do it Friday night, for in the Albinans they're playing the best . . . Incidentally, Albina beat the Gail Bishop & Co. Fort Lewis Reception Center outfit Sunday 51-44.

The clouting bee between the two anxious heavy light-heavies comes as a result of those three j rasslin rumpusses. After each, first one and then the other .squawked loud and long "I was ; robbed." So Matchmaker Don' Owen, who never overlooks the best bets in the who-meets-who angle of the mat game, hatched a plan wherein the unfriendly pair would fight It oat to a fin ish to once and for all settle their beefing.

Ross, who has been diligently training for the titanic will out weigh Wagner eight pounds. The village battler scales 1S8 to Warner's professed 180.

If I don't knock him out I'll outpoint him. With a fair and square referee In there I cant miss." Jack "Bash 'Em" Lipscomb, the super-meanie of the mat, heads the two grappling bouts which precede the Wagner-Ross titanic. Lipscomb, who was well on his way to a- title tiff with Wagner until he ran across Bulldog Jack son, tackles Ivan Jones, the be muscled athletic instructor of Portland's YMCA and a shiDyard.
