would do to the northern divi

Into a virtual deadlock for the
lead with the season over half
gone! And If the Ducks do dump
the fluskies twice, which Is cer
tainly possible, and Idaho knocks
off Washington State Saturday

leadership! Should Washington
State fail to beat Idaho Satur
day the Cougars, Gale -Bishop

chase with six losses. We've said
It before and It's certainly worth
resting: This year's Is the hot

never before have the Vandals
had so much sentimental sup

To 'Go Slow' In
Unloading Slant
NEW YORK. Jan. 31 - (A) -
Salesman Sam Breadon, the most
sought after man in baseball, ar
rived in town today for the sched
uled meetings carrying a St. Louis
Cardinal; roster loaded down with
25 pitchers but announced he
planned ; to "go a little slow" in
unloading his samples.
"Some of: those pitchers I
wouldn't sell for any price," said
the president of the Cardinals,
declining; to name any names, but
Obviously referring to a tosser
like Johnny Beaszley, who went
off to war fresh from a brilliant
world series triumphs.
Asked about stories that out
fielder Johnny Hopp was on the
block, Breadon stated, "Nobody
on the club is for sale." He-admitted,
however, some could be
had for the right price.
There : were reports that the
Boston Braves and New York
Giants had an inside line to a
couple of pitchers, an Infielder
and an outfielder on the Red Bird
list.
With Frank Crepi, Lou Klein,
and Emil Verban, all regulars,
back at second base, the Cards
could well afford to deal fbr one.
The outfielder array that included
Enos Slaughter, Harry Walker,
Terry Moore, Ervin Dusak, Buster
Adams, Hopp and probably Stan
Musial in mid-season also pro
vided excellent trading bait.

FREDDY COCHRANE
Champ fares Marty Servo
Welter Champ
Puts Up Title
NEW YORK, Jan. .11 -oipj-The
defrosting of wartime-iced box
ing championships gets under way
in Madison Square Garden IOt
morrow night when Freddie (the
red) Cochrane puts his world
welterweight title on the line
against rough, tough baby-faced
Marty Servo over the 15-round
route.
The first honest-to-gosh world
championship clouting in just
about four years has Gus Fan and
his missus pouring the money into
promoter Mike Jacobs' cash reg
isters. With an advance sale al
ready hitting the $50,000 mark.
Mike wouldn't be at all surprised
or disappointed jf 15,000 cus
tomers show up and ring the
bell at $80,000 or over.
Oddly enough, although Coch
rane has been out of the navy a
year and has had nine fights since
being separated from Uncle Sam,
and Baby-face Marty has been
to the post only twice since leav
ing the coast guard a couple of
months ago, the charitable bet
ting gentlemen can't see Fred
die with field glasses. Along the
40th street betting mart they're
laying 13 to 5 that the champion
is bounced off the throne in his
very first defense since he took
the 147-pound title from Frivo
lous Fritzie In July, 1941.
The price is so lop-sided that
Freddie and his manager, Willie
Gilzenberg, hae put up $2,500
against $0,500 that Cochrane still
will be doing business at the
same old championship stand
when the fighting ends tomorrow.
