Iag EfgKt.v THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON IGH CLIMBER By DICK STRITB Hobby Ifobson'g pitchers and catchers reported Tuesday, and Tex Oliver bcld a preliminary meeting of football prospects Monday and started official prac tice Tuesday can spring be far oway? Yes, it certainly can. Spring Can be very far away in spite of the sun shining while I'm giving this mill the one-two. Why say fellow, the toughest part of the basketball season hasn t even started, so don't sell Old Man Casaba short. Starting as early as Thursday night the hoop wars really begin to hum. Six county independent nuinlrls stage a playoff at Spring field high Thursday, Iriday and Saturday. Then next Tuesday jiight the "A" and "B" high school oil-stars of the county tangle with the first and second University of Oregon freshmen clubs in a Finn ish fund benefit, with a game be tween the Junior Rubes and the Duckling "John Day Rangers" tossed in for good measure. Wednesday in Portland the I Riibenslein Oregonians and the McKee Bakers of Springfield open four-day campaigns for "A" and "B" division slate A. A. U. cham pionships, respectively. Thursday is the opening of the annual Lane county "B" league basketball tournament at Mi-Arthur court, an event rated the top athletic con test o the year- by our country cousins and many Eugene rest dents as well. Although no official announce ment has been made, the district "B" plavoff will probably be held at Junction City high the follow ing Friday and Saturday. Then comes it, the state championship tournament with University high more of a cinch to represent this district than Oregon State to an nex the northern division crown. i .

The eounlv "B" contenders arc rated considerably weaker than last sea eon, but several quintets have shown great improvement during the past few weeks. While Pleas ant Hill remains the outstanding contender, don't sell Oakridge short. The Warriors have the Sa lem habit, winning the state "B" title last season after finishing no better than runner-up in the county playoff. Uni high might surprise critics. The Tide was rated pre-scason favorite in the district 7, but act ually Ray llendrickson's aggrega tion has less individual talent than potential material on any of the other five league squads. The campus mentor has done a fine coaching Job and displayed a team against Eugene high last week that measured up to the club that was a definite threat at Salem last year. f Associated Press) Bobby Lindh, sophomore for ward, increased his lead in the northern division. Pacific coast conference basketball scoring race as the Washington Huskies de feated the Washington State Cou gars 53-52 Tuesday night to split their two-game Pullman series and definitely eliminate W. S. C. from the running. Lindh scored 11 points to bring his total to date to 157. His near est competitors are Burl Olson of Washington Stale, who has 123 and John Dick of Oregon, who has 120. Lindh set a new scoring record for sophomore players at the Uni versity of Washington by his sharpshooting. The previous rec ord of 146 points was set by John ny Fuller during the season of 1931. With the Huskies having but two games remaining, Lindh has little chance of hitting the Ore gon division record of 191 set by Laddie Gale of Oregon In 1938. The Huskies won on a freethrow by Bob Dorr, substitute forward, in the last half minute of play af ter Capt. Bill McDonald had pulled them into a 52-52 tie with a pot-shot from the sidelines with only a minute left to play. the victory gave the Husk es an even break, with the Cougars in the infra-state schedule of four games for the season.

Mount Angel, 38 to Demaref, Penna Tie In Texas Tourney HOUSTON, Texas, Feb. 21. (P) Jolly Jimmy Demaret, impervious to pressure, sallies forth this after noon to do right by the home folks. He had done a handsome job of coming through for them by tying lony Penna, Dayton, Ohio, profes sional, for tho Western open lead at 293 and was the favorite for the 18-hole playoff. Penna posted his 146-74-73293' to take a lead he never knew he could reach and the word went out to Demaret and Sammy Snead of Shawnee-on-the-Delaware. Coming to No. 17, they knew they could shoot par golf on the next two holes and tie Penna. Snead folded and bogeyed No. 17, winding up In third place with 143-70-75294. Demaret calmly purred ' each hole and reported llic day's finest score, 35-3671, identical with River Oaks' par. He paired it with his morning 76 to give him 146-76-71293. The winner of today's tilt pock ets $1,000; the runnerup $750 of the $5,000 in prize money. Snead won $500.

Additional Sports PAGE 12 Eugene high bowed out of the district 7 league basketball race Tuesday night by dropping a heart-breaking 20-19 decision to its intra-city rivals, St. Mary's high. The exit was anything but graceful because twice in the last five seconds the Axemen had op portunities to lie and win the game. It was a close batlle from the opening minute despite a six-poin lead for the Axemen in the first five minutes of play, with the score being knotted three times and the advantage changing on six other occasions. But. the big thrills came in the final 90 seconds after Ray Blatchley's basket on a free ball under the hoop cut the Saint lead to one point. Gaels Stall Unsuccessfully In the final stages the Galloping Gaels tried a stalling game with little success. Al Kuppenbender refused to try for one freethrow in the last minute in order to al low the Saints to keep command of the ball. But in the last 30 seconds Noel Dion chose to try for a free shot and missed, the Axemen taking command, but Dion took a free ball and missed a set up that would have salted the game for St. Mary's. Then in the last five seconds Dion fouled Bruce Frye. The regular guard, who played as a sub Tuesday, barely missed the shot and Loren Skirvm cross ed the foul lane to attempt to curl in the winning basket. The ball rolled around the rim and out. The game ended before either team could advance with the ball. Stonewall" Zilkowski gave St. Mary's first blood with a free throw, but Blatchley's gifter knot ted the score. Bob Deller, Duane Marshall and Harold Hagg scored to give Eugene a 7-1 lead in the fust five minutes. Although the Saints failed to score from the field they trailed by only a 7-5 margin al the end of the opening period. Score Tied at 12-A11 Hagg opened the second period with his second one-hander from behind the key, but Kuppenbender collected St. Mary's first field goal after 10 minutes of play to cut the margin to 9-7.
