S Tno Statesman. Salem, Oregon. Tuesday. Fohniary II. 1947 Sorties: Those who wondered what Hal Lee. a former V of Washington All-Ameriean as a player was doing officiating the Husky series with Oregon State night like to know that northern division eoaehes have waived the rule which prohibited any offi cial to work in any game in which his alma mater was participating. In other words the coaches a rent a bit petty and harbor a high re gard for the integrity of their whistle-tooters .... Yes. the t 4 DICK WE.NNER Hamilton now playing for the Portland pro Indians is the same Bob Hamilton who captained Oregon's Webfoots last year and for three seasons was the best "money player" In the northern division. He's doing well with the pay-for-play boys too .... Fright ened native. George Emigh. He's scaired stiff that Portland will keep both Duane Crawford and Dick YVenner all season, leaving our townies without a first-sarker and outfielder who know their way around the YVIL .... Stop to think of it. if Portland doesn't begin takinr on Triple-A ball players soon they'll have A LI, the Senator hopes In Beaver uniforms. The long-awaited "help" from the Yankees reached the Bevos over the weekend, but after scan ning the list it's hard to think that the Portlands got anything but what everyone figured they'd get all along, a handful of so-so journeymen who definitely are definitely are not of Triple-A eall ber. Not even the best one had a good record in the Class-A Texas league last season, so why should anyone believe he. let alone others, will help the Beavers? Mr. Norgan had best begin turning loose some purchasing power, and pronto .... It hasn't Mr. Snell's official seal, but this could be 1 called "Title Week" locally. To night it's Frankie Hart and Pete Belcastro at the armory- for the mat title.' tomorrow night It's Snooks Lacey and Tony Roberts for the Northwest feather bauble, the Vikings are hot on the trail of the Big-6 toga in games with Albany tonight and Springfield Friday night. Don Wilson's Molal lans try the Sandy quint tonight for the Willamette Valley loop erown. Oregon State can just about sew up the northern divi sion flag with two wins over Ida- 1 ho at Corvallis well. Isn't that anough? .... Aiken Impregsire Gent In answer to an argument which heated up the Elks club the other, night. Shortstop Johnny O'Ncil . VOI LD have returned to .the Portland Beavers from Philadel phia had the Bevos not been beat en to the punch by the Seattle Rainier. But the main thing is. O'Neil would not have refused to play for the Portlands. Such an argument! .... Fog-horn voiced Jim Aiken has made one real buddy at Oregon already. He Is Col. Bill Hayward. the venerable track coach. The manner In which Aiken introduced himself to the L"s athletic department members so convinced Col. Bill that he Judged: "I think I'm going to like that fellow a lot." Aiken left no Impression with the members that he wasn't "the football coach here" and was thoroughly convin cing In that the grid department "will be handled by me." . . . . The new Duck skipper has been no less than a smash hit in his personal appearance tour to date, and through his assurances that Oregon will have a fighting and hustling football team, delivered with a voice which seems to ex plode from a deep cavern, he's making friends right and left. And should the Oregons blossom out with a club steeped in team spirit and the will to win next autumn. It will be Aiken's fault. The former Nevada man. as im pressive as they come, advocates both strenuously .... Bill Set for Battle He has a rough chore ahead of him. for arguing with "Loqua cious Larry" MacPhail, classed by some as champion wordsman of them all. isn't an enviable task. But Villager Bill Bevens left for New York Sunday a confident baseball pitcher. He Is convinced his side of the holdout argument will stand up against any of the MacPhail proposals and. when he departed Sunday, vowed he would nun his guns all the way. Faced with the possibility that he may wind up as exhibit A in a swap io another American league club. Bill hopes it will be with the Red Sox or Detroit Tigers if such is to be his fate. Should no terms be reached and no deal Is made for the 16-game winner of 46. "Bev" will likely head for home. But since he took with him some new duds he Intends "wearing In Puerto Rico." perhaps Bill feels he has the vocal ammunition to outshoot MacPhail. We should know by the end of the week.

Hart, Belcastro in Title Brawl Tonight The crunch collision the mat customers have been waiting for the past weeks --Fireball Frankie Hart vs. punch-happy Pete Belcastro- - featnres Matchmaker Elton Owen's week ly card tonight at the Ferry Street Garden. And this time the two gladiators who panick ed the premises the last time they got together in a blood spattered brawl will be deciding who will wear the Coast Junior heavyweight title belt tomorrow morning. The Weed, Cal. wal loper, whose main forte is park ing his fists most anywhere on an opponent, was forced Into to night's natural by Owen when Belcastro spent three weeks docking- another scrap with Hart.

And since Eugene is idle in league play, a win for Harold Hauk's club will shove it back atop the Big-6 race all alone. On the other hand, a loss will practically ruin titular chances for either the Viks or Bulldogs. Coach Loren Mort's unbeaten Jayvees, up to 18 straight follow ing a two-point conquest of a City league quint last week, will attempt to make it 19 in tonight's I prelim with Bob Buchanan's Al j bany Junior Varsity, itself not at ; all used to losing ball games this season. The main Item confronting the Villa varsity tonight will be the stopping of Paul Heins. crack Bulldog guard who repeatedly leads the Albany scoring parade.
