Commissioner Ordered 'Em to Fight 5 Roy Sandberg, U of Washington Associated Students Athletic News service department tender writes to tell this is "Hec" Ed mundson's 24th year as skipper of the Husky hoopers. Hec's tenure starting in 1920 when he took over from "Stub" Allison, now coach ing California's Golden Bear footballers. Edmundson will have double duties this season since he has two varsity teams a "service" team made up of navy and marine students who will play only in the home games and a "travelling" team consisting of exactly what makes up the other Northern division quints, 4-Fs, 17-yearolds, etc. ... In other words, the Huskies should be terrific at home, so-so on the road . . . Re the Oregon and Oregon State prospects this win ter, Duke Trotter, whose WU Navycats have played 'em both says he sees not much difference between the Duck and Beaver hoop suiters . . . Another basketball bunch up for recognition is the Camp Adair Trailblazers, studded with "formers" and "ex's". After a lively scrimmage with Oregon State the other day, Beaver Coach Slats Gill was heard to comment: "They are the best club we've met this season. I wish we had their material.' . . . The Trailblazers and Willamette may get together later on this season . . . Harry Levy, member of the sanctioning Salem boxing commission heaved a sigh of relief when the Ross-Wagner scrap was over Tuesday night, for Harry and others was sure the overanxious grapplers would toss Marquis of Queensbury out th' window and turn to rough-and-tumble brawling. In fact Harry hopped up on the ring apron just before the battle and reminded Referee Packy McFarland to "make 'em fight without the bar-room stuff." . . . Packy was busy breaking the boys up the few times they clinched, but only once did he have to "tut tut" on the rough stuff, in the second round when Wagner couldn't resist Ross' "wide-open" tummy and gave Tony the knee to same. Outside that one time the musclers really fought . . . Too bad it couldn't have lasted longer . . . Talkative Georgie filled his dressing room with moans, groans, threats and sighs after it was all over, among which we heard, "T'hell with that stuff take them gloves and throw 'em away! From now on I'm sticking to rassling. Good oF Texas style rassling fer me from now on! Cripes, I can still see those lights goin' around. That so-and-so sure can hit!" Basketball Scores Whitman 32.
