the Spartans broke even. In the

the Axemen thundered to an ea
63-42 conquest ."
Salem has improved consider
ably since then, however, and can
be expected to give the' touted
visitors a real argumenftonight
The Viks would like nothing bet

highly ranked Axemen.
There is no hope for a Salem
championship in, the Big Six Lea

ready. But Eugene still retains a
chance for the title, along with
Corvallis and Albany, and the

Army Induction Faces
Yankees' Billy Martin
BERKELEY,' CaliL (JP) The day Jerry Coleman left for Ma
rine duty in 1952 he gave his glove to scrappy Billy Martin with
these words: "Use it Billy, and make me proud of it?,
Thursday by the action of a draft board the situation fs re
versed. Coleman is out of the
service after many months as a
Marine flier in Korea and Martin
is going in for the second time.
Billy, the New York Yankee sec
ond baseman who broke the back
of the Brooklyn Dodgers in the
1953 World Series, served six
months in the ' Army in the
winter of 1950-51, and was dis
charged for hardship reasons.
But last month after the birth
of his daughter he was reclas
sified 1-A.
He appealed, listing five depend
ents. His draft board this week
turned him down, however, and
he probably will report for induc
tion in the March quota a month
before the baseball season starts.
That leaves second base open
again to Coleman.
Martin said he wasn't certain
whether he would again appeal his
reclassification. He has the right
to' if at least one member of
his draft-board voted for him. How
ever, the board did not disclose
its vote.
"I don't plan on doing anything
right now, Martin said, adding
he was puzzled at the board's ac
tion. "I've got five dependents now
and they let me out of the Army
because I had four dependents at
that ime."
Billy listed- as dependents his es
tranged wife, Lois; his daughter,
Kelly Ann; a sister, Joan, 13, his
mother, Mrs. Jack Downey and
his step father.
"IH go happily," Martin told
newsmen, "if they can figure out
some way to support my depend
ents." CHURCH LEAGUE

Aim of Oregon
OSC Plays Cougats,
UO Battles Huskies
By The Associated Press
The two Oregon entries in the
Northern Division basketball
race play on Washington soil this
weekend, Oregon's Webfoots op
posing the Washington 1 Huskies
at Seattle and the Oregon State
Beavers slated against the Wash
ington State Cougars at Pullman
both Friday and Saturday nights.
Coach Slats Gill's Oregon Stat
ers go into the weekend boasting
full game lead over Oregon,
which in turn has only a half-
game bulge over third place Ida
ho in the hot race. j
Oregon won two over Washing
ton in their first games at Eu
gene this season, and Oregon
State measured WSC twice at
Corvallis. But both j Oregon
teams are apt to find the Wash
ingtonians much tougher to han
dle on their own courts. ,
Particularly so in the case of
Oregon, as Tippy Dye's Huskies
have been improving greatly and
have won four of their last five
games, including one over Ore
gon Stae at Corvallis last week.
Oregon hasn t beat the Hus
kies at Seattle since 1947, and
since then Washington I has reg
istered 13 straight home wins
over Webfoot teams. I
Coach Bill Borcher's Webfoots
will be shooting for a T series
sweep at Seattle, for they play
Oregon State in a final pair next
week. Oregon will seed both
games at Washington, if ; Oregon
State takes both as expected from
WSC. Otherwise the Oregons
will have no chance for the clear
cut championship in their series
with, the Beavers. j :
Idaho is idle this week-end, but
has a final game with j Washing
ton State at Pullman on Tuesday.
Then the Vandals close; out the
f ollowi ng Friday and j Saturday
with Washington at I Moscow.
The Vandals are of course hop-t
Ing to see both Washington State
and Washington come j through
with the wins this weekend, which
would give Idaho chances for the
title a big boost ! 1
