Oregon State's 1942 northern di
vision champions, using beauti
fully executed block plays effect
ively, virtually knocked the Ore
gon Webfoots out of the cham
pionship basketball race here at
McArthur court Saturday night
with a convincing 41-31 victory.
The triumph evened the score
in the annual four-game series,
both teams splitting series here
and in Corvallls. Oregon posted
a mildly surprising 42-3S victory
at Corvallls Friday night.
Oregon's defeat takes some ot
the spice, out of the coming Wash
ington State series, closing the lo
cal collegiate season here next
week-end.
Anderson Leads Early' Attack . .
rland Anderson, . blond
thatched sophomore from Silver
ton, gave the Beavers the lead in
the first 30 seconds of play when
he connected with two freethrows
and added a fielder on a clcee-in
hook shot a minute later. Fresh
man Tommy Holman pushed one
in from behind the key and Ore
gon State held a 6-0 advantage
with only two and one-half min
utes gone.
Roger Wiley tipped in Rolph
Fuhrman's missed freethrow 15
seconds later for Oregon's first
score, but Anderson faked around
Wiley and scored. After UV4
minutes, with OSC leading 13-6,
Coach Howard Hobson substituted
an entire new lineup, changing
from a badly outplayed man-for-man
defense to a zone.
Glen Warren tallied soon after
ward, but it was the last Beaver
field goal against the zone until
Don Durdan tallied on a nice fake
and hook shot 1n the final minute
of the period. In building up a
17-10 halftime lead, Oregon State's
zone held the Webfoots to two
field goals during an eight-minute
period, and only four during
the half.
OSC Makes 30 Passes
Slats Gill must have ordered
his Orangemen to play conserva
tively with a seven-point lead at
the start of the second half, and
the Beavers tossed the ball around
with 30 exchanges for 7S seconds
before Don Cecil missed a shot.
Little Stan Williamson, freshman
from Astoria, scored a freethrow
and then drove the length of the
floor to sag the hemp with a push

shot to narrow the margin to 17
3.
It was then that Bill Taitt,
sparkling freshman from Portland,
paced a hard-driving Beaver at
tack that gradually- built up a
commanding 16-polnt, 40-24. lead
with three minutes of playing
time remaining. The Oregons
went back to their man-for-man
defense three minutes before, but
OSC added six points td its lead
during that interval
Oregon, definitely off their
game and missing miserably from
the field and freethrow line, bat'
tied to the final minute' to keep
alive their title hopes.
Durdan, playing -his last hoop
contest against the Oregons (thank
goodness, someone said) was the
key man on the hard-charging
block plays early in the garni
an attack that apparently broke
Oregon s hopes and hearts.
The officiating was poorly han
dled, Emil Piluso giving his worst
performance in the local pavilion.
The questionable whistle-tooting
probably had no bearing on tne
eventual outcome of the contest
because the fouls and violations
called hit both teams.

SAN MATEO, Cal., Feb. 20. (P)
Horse racing opened at Bay
Meadows today fn a war-tempered
setting, part of the 6,750 fans ar
riving by street cars, horse-drawn
vehicles, bicycles and on foot.
Street cars were crowded from
early morning with riders scram
bling for seats and standing room
as vigorously as customers at a
bargain counter sale in the depart
ment stores.
At San Mateo, hundreds of fans
waited for horse-drawn accomo
dations provided by Bay Meadows
to haul them to the track, a mile
and three-quarters distant.
William P. Kyne, general man
ager of Bay Meadows, said the
crowd was approximately one

Galloping Gil Dodds, the chunky
Boston theological student, thun
dered to a 4:08.8 victory in the
Baxter Mile at the New York A.
C. games at Madison Square Gar
den tonight to wipe out two pre
vious disappointing performances.
A pre-season favorite to become
America's Indoor mile king, the
Deacon sprinted Into an early
lead before 15,000 cheering fans
and then ran four opponents Into
the boards to finish 15 yards
ahead of Dartmouth's Don Bum-ham.
Frank Dixon of N. Y. U.. win
ner of last week's Boston A. A.
mile, placed third and Earl Mit
chell, the slim Hooster boy from
Indiana, who won the Wanamaker
mile, was a far fifth behind the
New York A. C.'s Jim Rafferty.
The victory moved Dodds into
three-way tie with Mitchell and
Dixon for the Indoor mile title
which Les MacMltchell abandoned
when he entered the navy. Each
now holds one Important victory,
with the national A. A. U. Cham;
plonshlps to decide the winner.
Little Greg Rice did it again
scoring his 59th consecutive vic
tory as he won the Toussalnt two-
mile run in 8:58.5, fastest time ot
the season.
The little mechanical man from
Notre Dame uncorked a final lap
sprint that left Oliver' Hunter of
Notre Dame, the second man, 20
yards back, with Roy Phillips ot
Tufts a far third.
Rhode Island State's team of Ed
Dahl, Jim Cole, Joe Hall and
Fred Crowell captured the first
of the mile relays In 3:24.9. Col
gate took second honors and Holy
Cross was third,
Hugh Short, Georgetown's
great quarter-roller, bowed out of
Inter-collegiate competition by
taking the Buermeyer 500-yard
run for his third straight victory
over the boards this season in 58
seconds. The time was nine-tenths
of a second oft the world record
set by Colgate's Al Dlebolt last

Portland Buys
Hardy, Burgher
PORTLAND. Feb. 0 flJ.R
Wllllam H. Klepper, general
manager of the Portland base
ball club of the Pacific Coast
league, announced tonight he
had added five more players to
the club roster for the 1943
season;
Fay Thomas, veteran right
handed pitcher, was picked up
as a free agent after taking last
year off when Los Angeles re
leased him to Tulsa of the Tex
as league, where he refused to
report.
Bob Hardy, southpaw pitcher
for Beaumont of the Texas
league last year; George Vlco,
first baseman from the Pied
mont league; William Burgher,
rookie catcher from Ontario,
Ore.; and a southpaw pitcher
named Wyatt from the West
Texas league also were pur
chased. '
Hardy was a former baseball
pitcher and basketball player
under Howard Hobson at the
University of Oregon, and play
ed on the National Basketball
Oregon's national basketball
team In 1939. Burgher played
part time with the Eugene Ath

last year.

gon ace. In the 50-yard race he
again defeated Nelson and won In
24 seconds, which coaches and
swimmers agreed was a new con
ference mark, although the previ
ous record waa not available at
the moment
The Oregonians opened with a
medley relay victory, easily taking
the decision from the Washington
trio.
But Husky Bob Trager broke in
with a first place in the 220-yard
free-style, with Dick Smith, Ore
gon, second and Clem Aklna,
Washington third.
Powlinson'a 50-yard free-style
win, with a second place finish'
for Oregon's Nelson and a third
place tor Jim Denning of Wash
ington, cut the Oregon scoring
edge from 8 points to 6.
The Huskies went ahead with
first and second places In the div
ing tor George Athans and Frank
Asbury. George Prowell, Oregon
back-stroker, gamely competed as
the Duck diver, and picked up a
valuable one point for third place.
Oregon's diving squad had been
riddled by losses to the service and
by Injury.
That one point could have
turned the tide tor the visitors,
however, had they won the relay
which the Huskies managed to
take to save the water verdict
