Newspaper Page TextHUGH McELHENNT -This, that, etc.: Item no doubt existing in the minds of Idaho's Vandals as they make ready for their four-games-in-five-nights excursion through the- Willamette vaiiey; rtever in history has an Idaho team . won more than two of the four games. A similar fate this trip would Just about ruin Vandal hopes of overtaking Washington in the race for the title. . . Interesting statistical item on Bill Sweeney as a baseball manager comes from the Pacific Coast League's service bureau Chief Dave Rowe In his 14 years as a PCL skipper. Sweeney has won 1178 and lost 1179, only one game from being an even .500 average. Remem bering some of the smelleroos Sweeney has had to manage in the past, 'tis a wonder his win ning percentage is as good as. it is. . . . Incidentally, the new Seattle mgr. holds the all time Coast League fielding record as a first base man. He fielded .997 in 1938 for the mark, and then tied it in 1939. . . . Our sortie of last Sunday on Armory crowds, downtown traffic hazards, city gendarmes, etc didn't go unnoticed, it seems. We now have at hand Mr. Newbry's book, "Motor Vehicle Laws of Oregon for 1951-52," same presented by the village police dept. Wonder if that could be called throwing the book at us? (We're still riding the bus, boys). . . . Word now getting around tells that Jack Rainwater and Georgie Masters, former fisticuff era who have kept in touch with the fight game off and on, are now attempting to line up regular amateur boxing shows for the Armory. Rainwater was once one of the top middle weights in. the Northwest, and Masters helped handle the Abney boys when they were fighting here. ... Setup for ISC A A Basketball Playoffs Seems to be i number of folks who don't understand how the NCAA basketball quarterfinals playoff at Corvallls March 21-22 can send its winner into the national finals at Seattle the week following- "Where will the semifinals be held?" they'd like to know. As briefly as possible, here is the way the playoffs are to be set up: There will be four quarterfinals sites Corvallis, Raleigh, N. C, Chicago and Kansas City, Mo. The Southeastern and Southern Con ference champions will qualify at Raleigh, along with two other teams, picked at large from those areas. Champions of the Big Ten and Ivy League, with two teams picked at large, will meet at Chi cago. The Big Seven, Missouri Valley, Southeast Conference and Border Conference winners will play it off in the Kansas City tourney. The Coast Conference winners will play it off in the Kansas City tourney. The Coast Conference, the Mountain States Conference and two teams picked at large from the area west of the Mississippi River are to collide at Corvallis. Playing; on a single elimination basis, there will be a tourna ment champion fer each of the twe-night playoffs at those four sites. The four champions, all undefeated, will then go to Seattle. The first night f the Seattle meet could be called the "semi finals" in that winners of the two games will advance to the final championship came the second night. Calls fesfy "of WeeliSnd Clashes VJUh (Pioneers; Series Sweep Aim of CTSJ Fully realizing that this is the week that could mean their fourth straight Northwest Conference basketball title, or the one that could mean a second place finish behind the Lewis & Clark Pioneers, Wil lamette U's Bearcats are now ready for the Friday - Saturday romps with the front-running Portland- Vandal Vet Seattle V Eye 'At Large Berth It's hard to tell just what teams will come up with the "at large" bids. As mentioned here before, Seattle U and Its Johnny O'Brien cannot be overlooked as a possibility at Corvallis. Neither can Port land U's Pilots, for that matter. We know that Seattle U has its sights set on the quarterfinals at Corvallis, and that Porland U is interested to no small extent. As for the various conference champions, Kentucky Is rated aa the current favorite at Raleigh, Illinois at Chicago, St. Louis U. Oklahoma A&M and Texas Christian at Kansas City, and Washington, Utah and Brigham Young at Corvallis. All are going on the assumption that those teams are able to win their re spective ways to the tournament sites of course. They've still a long road to travel in most cases. But at least this gives you an idea of just how the NCAA playoffs are set up for late in March. ... Fresh out of eligibility and no doubt homesick for the sunny clime from which he came, Hugh McElhenny is no longer regis tered at the U of Washington. He left Seattle and Is now enrolled at Pepperdlno College in Los Angeles. A Californian In the begin ning;, youll recall that McElhenny transferred from Compton Jun ior College to the Huskies. Now he goes back to a school that Isn't any bigger than Compton. . . . Incidentally, McElhenny may be shifted to an end position as a pro footballer with the San Fran cisco 49'ers, the team that drafted him. Coach Buck Shaw has been heard to mention that he might change the A 11-American fullback over to a wingman. Gale's 22 Sparks Win lanipneiis poivns mews Club for Share of Lead Campbell's Insulators, paced by ex-University of Oregon star Laddie Gale's 22 markers, Wednesday gained a tie for the lead in the City Basketball League chase as they handed Salem News Agency its first defeat by a 54-43 count. The outcome left both clubs with 10-1 records. i " " DeMoss Leaps First Hurdle n - a f ; 1 V t R :, 1 it ' - Captain Sam Jenkins, veteran C-S senior guard will lead the Idaho Vandals into their weekend cage series at Oregon Friday night The Vandals, clinging to the heels. of the leading- Washington Huskies, play the Oregon quint Friday aid Saturday nights at Eugene, and then Oregon State Monday and Tuesday nights at Corvallis. Jenkins, from Denver, Colo., even at 6-3 is one of the smaller members of the blr Idaho team. Basketball Scores Other games saw Wolgamott's Service Station remain close be hind the pacesetters via a 54-18 victory over Cribbs, and Cannery Local 670 get a 39-35 verdict over Keizer Merchants. The Campbell-Salem News mix was a thriller, with the Insulators coming from behind in the second half for the win. Halftime count favored the Newsmen 21-19. It was Gale's torrid pointmaking in the closing minutes that brought Campbells through for the tri umph. Claude Nordhill led the Newsmen's scoring with 12 points. Hill led the Walgamott win with 11 points and Brandon's 12 was a big item in the Cannery victory.

Coach Johnny Lewis herds his supercharged band into Portland Friday night for the first game, The second, and final of the an nual L-Clark series, is booked for the WU gym Saturday night. The Pioneers, now out in front of the race with nine wins and but one loss, are now Vi games up on the Bearcats and their 6-1 record. Two wins for the Cats would put them over the big hump in their bid for a fourth consecutive cham pionship. But even one loss could be the ruination of that same bid. So it will be a determined Bear cat team that wades into the work at hand this weekend. In their only other clash thus far this sea son Willamette turned on the heat and blasted the Pioneers by a whopping 103 to 62 counts. The Pioneers didn't belong on the same floor with the rampaging Lewis quint that nigvt, and the lanky Bearcat mentor is in high hopes that his charges will be in a simi lar basket-hitting mood this week end. A final practice session for the Methodists is on the slate for to day. They'll likely open with Ted Loder, Dick Mase, Doug Logue, Lou Scrivens and Daryl Girod in the Friday nighter. Following the Lewis it Clark games the Bearcats have February 15-16 games with Whitman here, a February 18 clash with College of Idaho here, a February 22 game with Linfield here, and another at Linfield February 23, and then a finale with Pacific at Forest Grove February 29.
