. f - II i 1. 4 i - f i zzr - I J. . , 1 " . '- , J Question still comes up: Now that Seattle U has chosen to enter ! the NCAA cage playoffs instead of the NIT. is there a real possibility that Johnny O St Co. will tangle with Bob Houbregs 'Co, otherwise known s- the Washington Huskies? Ans: It Washington wins the FCC title, and if Seattle U gets by --the Huskies and Chief tain will open -s the NCAA j tournament at Corvallis in the 7:30 o'clock game Friday, March 13. That would be the one that the enure jNortnwes would like to sit in on, and should the two teams get together, at Corvallis a goodly portion of the Seattle - sports public - will be pounding at the Gill Coliseum, gates. - Interest in such a game is at so great a peak in the Puget Sound metropolis that it ' would surely Jam the 50,000 capacity Husky football stadium. . And since there is now the strong pos sibility that the Huskies and Chieftains will play each other, envy the-guy who has a ticket to see it. He's actually in possession of what good many Seattle folks WmiM Hill 9 ffnlH niimst ... Which brings to light the following "epitaph" we clipped from a Seattle paper some . time ago: They beried him under the willow tree, where the gentle zephyrs . softly blow; he told the boys at than Johnny 0 . . Seattle U had a or NIT playoffs, and selected the real impetus was provided by the two years been trying to get their neighboring Huskies on the same floor with them, and calculated their selection of the NCAA as the only method. . . Believe us, that game if ever played will in the Seattle area stir up as much whoop-de-doo as did the adoption of the 18th Amendment. . . Luby's Schedule Adopted, Jto Be Released Tuesday .Senators Boss Hugh Leby's WI League baseball schedule has been officially adopted and will be released for publication come Tuesday. . Hash pat la ever a solid month of toil en the little gem that would give an income tax expert a fit or two, for satisfying It cities spread all ever the wide expanse of the Northwest was anything bat easy. ' The Senators will have 73 home games and 71 on the road. Both the Memorial Day and Fourth . Waters Field, the former with Tri-City and the latter with Victoria. I Last home game is to be played August 30, long before Labor Day and the start of the State Fair, a disastrous obstacle encountered by the Senators ox last semester. vWere not at liberty to print the schedule until Tuesday, but I can tell that Calgary opens the season here April 24, plays four I games and then moves on while Edmonton comes in for three games. ' Each team in the league will make season with the exception of Braves sHav here four different times over the route. i First half play is to end July started the very next day. . . Houbregs to Face SetonHall Ace in Garden u i Speaking of such auspicious basketball get-togethers as ' weald be the Honbregs-0Brien meeting, another to look forward I to would be the March 28 Madison Square Garden date for the ' -East" and "West" All-Star teams. Hoabregs of Washington and ' Watt Dukes, the -11 Seton Hall great are to be on opposite sides In that one. Oregon a Chet Noe Lefty Carl Gunnarson, onetime Senators signed his eighth straight WiL. contract the other day. He's to.be with Vancouver next season, as both team trainer and No. 1 resident of the Capilano bull pen. Carl is now trainer for the Van couver ice hockey team. . . Big fat rumor makes the rounds that Richie Myers, 1951s "Mr. Shortstop" of the WIL has been sold by Sacramento to the Cleveland Indians on the strength of a recom mendation by Joe Gordon. Must be merely a rumor, for such a sale wouldn't be so hush-hushed. Besides, Gordon is now a scout for I the Detroit Tigers, not the Cleveland. .. . Another new record for the Senators with the start of spring I training- at CaJistaga, for Trainer Pete Chtnn, the popular Itttlo Chinese lad from Oakland, CaL. will be there waiting te start his third straight season with the Salems. Ne ether tape and arnica chief has had raeh a lengthy tenure with the Senators. . They've yet to accomplish the feat, but Gordy Kunke and his : Dallas Dragons feel that if they produce at their top level in the District B-A tournament starting next weekend at MeMinnville, they can win the ticket to the state tournament this year. The Willamette . Valley League champs, a well balanced club with no real outstanding star, arent up against what might be called "top drawer" compe tition In the No. 8-A playoffs, which has been their fate in recent years. Consequently the Dragons are going all out to make the grade this time, and have a good chance of succeeding. . . Junior Billiard Tourney Datedr A pocket billiards tournament for boys ef senior and. junior high school age has been announced by Tom Wood, operator of the B&B Bowl, 085 Portland Road. The ' tourney is open to all of that age and a aigmrp deadline has been set for March 7. The tournament is to be round robin, with each entrant to play at least two matches. Contests are to be played after school during week days or on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Competent adulta will referee the .matches and rules of play will be in ; accordance, ' with the Biliard Congress -of-America which is now endorsing junior tournament play."
