Vanport Five Knocks
Over 'Cat Club, 44-39
PORTLAND. Feb. 14-(Special)-Vanport College's basketball club
came through with an upset here tonight as they downed Willamette's
Bearcats, 44-39.
The Van ports were forced to come from behind to rack up the
win after trailing at the halfway
point, 24-20. A bucket by Center
Dale Warburg with tVi minutes
left to play gave the winners a
lead which they never relinquish
ed. The Willamettes pushed to their
four-point intermission margin af
ter a slow and unexciting first
half and inside the initial four
minutes of the second period,
boosted their advantage to 32-24.
At that Juncture the loss of For
ward Bob Johnson on fouls took
the wind out of the 'Cat sails and
they began to fade. With 10 min
utes left the Vanports caught up
at 34-34 and after the lead
changed hands a couple of times,
Warburg's basket put the "Vans"
on top for good.
Pi voter Jim Johnson's 11 mark
ers was the 'Cats' best individual
effort.
The Willarnette crew returns
to Portland Tiiflday night to meet
Portland university.

nal '48 pact, the big pitcher who
lost the heart-breaking one-hitter
to Brooklyn in last fall's world
series said he and the club had
compromised by halving the cut.
Inasmuch as he won only seven
games for the Yanks last season,
Bevens felt that he deserved a
slice in his $18,000 salary, but not
such a big one as $5000 worth.
Bevens won 16 games for the
Bombers in 1946 and 13 in 1945.
An armailment proved his down
fall last'season.
Bill will depart for the Yankees
training camp in St. Petersburg,
Fla., late this month. He has been
employed by the Sicks' Brewing
Co. during the winter and has
been officiating basketball games
as a means of keeping his weight
down. He expects to report to
camp weighing 240 pounds, about
15 over his normal weight.
