Sportie sorties: Dr. R. Franklin Thompson Is still a right popular
?uy. The former Willamette U vice-president and athletics booster
(he excelled in both jobs) who is now the big boss at College of
Puget Sound, Tacoma, had but to walk into the gym the other night
where CPS was to play U of British Columbia to see and hear the
CPS student section unloose a spontaneous burst of cheering. Not
for the hoop quints, mind you, but for Dr. Thompson himself. "Such
popularity must be deserved," as Dan Walton reports it in his
Tacoma News-Tribune . . , News that prewar WIL standouts such
os Pitcher Ray Medeghini, the Tacoma righthander; Howie Johnson,
the Yakima sidewheeler; Walt
HliM and Bill Reere, the Yakima
mfielderi, have joined Sad Sam
Gibson's Bremerton roster Isn't
.nly a warning to other WIL'ers
that the Bremerton will be tough.
Ball fans can be assured of some
pert c!as B baseballing with gents U
Hue mow penorcning in we sum
mer evenings . . . Come to think
f it, we've been a.ked many times
if we think the caliber of baseball
in the league next summer will be
$ good as it was before the war
iarkened the parks. We think it
will be every bit as good and
(erhaps better. The managerial
staff Marks up on the okeh side
and interent in the league by
"farming" Coast clubs is better
ihan ever before. Those PCL'ers,
anxious to develop hirelings for
their own nine, will option some R. FRANKLIN THOMPSON
fair to middlin' ballgamers to the WIL for sure. Too, the fact that
many of the summer's class B gamers will have had three or four
.years of experience in tough GI leagues will tend to up the caliber
of the players. Hiking the salary limit from $2400 to $3000 per month
vill help al.o . . . Yes, we for one are convinced the type of baseball
iffttred in the WIL next summer will be quite digestible . . .
VantlaU Hr$t (and Lat ) Champ in 1923 '
When Hid Idaho' Vandal last ride the crest of the northern
division cage wave? That, one of manly questions bobbing up since
ihe- Vandals are suddenly in the thick of this winter's derby and
hae practically every basket bug rootin' and tootin' for 'em to
ome through with the flag, is answered by the official northern
division cage record. The Vandals copped the pennant in the 1922 23
-eason, the very first year the Coast conference was split into
loithein and kouthern divisions.
The Idahoan actually finished that year, in a tie with Washington
ifter each had won five and lost three. But -in a playoff game the
Vandals won. Since then the potato staters wound up second once
(1929), third five times, fourth three times and last 13 times, the
latter including every 1940 season other than 1944 when the Vandals
wound up fourth. Such a record would automatically place them
nnd'r the underdogs at least.
Rex Kimmtll, an Idaho man in the days of that lone champion
ship, and now still an Idaho man
-tale attorney general's office, can
remember well the glorious 1922
23 Vandal seasoo. After that play
off win over Washington, the Van
lals were faced with playing a
very gotd California Bear quint
or the Coast championship.
Col Ran Into lit Zone
California, "an eastern trip for
rtattonl honors already arranged,
'ook lightly it- series with the
Vandals and pulled into Moscow
'or nothing more than "tuneup
;ames to break the monotony pf
'.he eastern trip.'' according to
kimmel! Dave McMillan was then
ihe Id.iho coach (Hex lelicves
vlrMillan i Mil! coaching In the
Kg 10 Hfter leaving Idaho many
vei k), und he had an ace, j
.i u ix ui.li k our, up ins Kii'ctr iijr ,
the Dears.
McMillan came out with a zone
iefense against the Bears, the first
ime the zone was introduced in
he west. The cocky Bears were
baffled, could do no more than
.hoot over the zone from nea
the center of the flor and were
defeated. It was the same story
ihe m-xt night, Idaho winning and
.ending the Bears back to Berk
eley, not on their eastern excur
sion? A pair of Vandal players on
that championship team were the
Kojc brothers. Al and Rich. Al
ua the. team's standout, says Rex.
Brother Hih is now the basket-

ern division.
Her an Idaho Grad
Another item offered by Kim
mell tells that although Idaho and
I Washington State, being only nine
miles apart, have the most bitter
rivalry, there isn't much love lost
between the Vandals and Wash
ington Huskies. Reason? Hec Ed
mundson, Washington's gum-chewing
boss, once played basketball
for Idaho.
So now we come down to the
current chase with Idaho smack
in the thick of it. California has
already won the southern division,
and wouldn't it be nice though if
the Vandals kicked through with
another repeater of their 1923 do-
inH'.
Only this time it will be at
Berkeley if it happens. It's the
sough's turn to play host.

tonight at the Villa with an eight
o'clock game with the second-division
Springfield Millers. Jayvees

The Vikings hold a victory over
Springfield this season, a 38-27
count administered at Springfield
last month.
Although the Harold Hauk hust
lers are ticketed as also-rans for
the No Name pennant, a win to

Eugene will finish the Vikings in
a tie with the Spartans for second
place. Should Corvallis nip the
leading Axemen, however, the
Vikings face a finish in third

Hot to go with more topnotch

Vikings will likely start out with
Al Bellinger and Jack Fltzmaurice

The Millers came heralded as a

points in their last two ball games
with Bend and Eugene.

night will pit Joe Kahut, Woodburn, against Johnny Butler, 180,
Los Angeles, in the Oregon farmer's first ring test since his knockout
by Gus Lesnevich Jan. 11. Sharing top billing is another 10-rounder
with Tommy Moyer, Portland

Oregon high school cage teams
square off tonight in crucial pro
state - tourney games. Lebanon,
heading for the district 7 cham
pionship, meets second-place Al
bany.' A win for the district lead
ers will give the Warriors virtual
assurance of holding top spot.
Baker and LaGrande meet both
tonight and tomorrow night in
district 1. They shared honors in
two previous encounters. The
winner will oppose Ontario,
which won its way into the dis
trict play-off with a 32-27 vic
tory over Vale.
It isn't a factor in tourney se
lections, strictly speaking, but if
Myrtle Point - - now leading dis
trict 5 - - can overcome rapidly
improving North Bend, it will be
a heavy favorite to cop the title
in the March 1-2 district tourna
ment. The Dalles captured its series
with Hood River and will meet
the winner of a Hermiston-Mac
hi-Pendleton playoff which gets
under way Monday at Hermiston,
in the district 2 title selection.
Tuesday, Rainier meets Verno
nia. A win over the district 14
cellar team would give Rainier
the trip to the state tournament.
Defeat would put Rainier and St.
Helens in a tie.
Astoria is in a favored position
in district 10 with two wins over
Seaside and one over Tillamook.
The worst the Fishermen can get
is a tie. Washington high of Port
land, defending state champ, con
tinued to top the city loop, two
games ahead of Commerce.

State Beavers face1 what is ex
pected to be two of their tough
est basketball tasks of the sea
son here Friday and Saturday
nights when they tangle with the
Gale Bishop-paced Washington
State Cougars in a pair of north
ern division cage crucials. The
Cougars are definitely out of the
league pennant race, but are pro
bably the most dangerous quint
in the conference now that Bishop
has found his shooting eye again.
The Beavers, now tied with
Idaho at the top of the standings,
must win both games if they hope
to retain a good chance to cop
the flag. They will be weakened
considerably by the continued
loss of 6-foot -inch Glenn War
ren, out with injuries suffered in
an auto wreck. The Beavers did
beat, Washington in two games
minus his services, however.
Coach Slats Gill has been
