Panthers Victors
Over Lava Bears
!n Close Battle
H-vr.-iiiu's power-packed Panth
' iTL, s eam without a home court.
ar.xd notice here last night that
'J.-y would definitely be In the
race for the 1944-45 basketball
championship of Central Oregon
by defeating the Lava Bears 27 to
24 without the services of two of
their stars, Haggman and Hof
stetter, at present on the hospital
squad.
With these two players in ac
tion, the Redmond team that play
ed here last night would probably
be 15 points better than Bend in
any game, it was the consensus
of the fans.
Sparked by Holmstrom, McDon
ald and Harmon, with Weigand
and King giving able assistance,
the Panthers took an early lead
over Bend, and at the start of the
final quarter were out ahead 25
to 15. Redmond was still going
strong and it looked like the Bears
were in for one of their worst
beatings of the season. But in
the final quartet the Bears be
latedly hit their strike, held the
Panthers to two free throws and
rolled up nine points. The Bears'
show of life In that final period
resulted In pandemonium in the
packed gymnasium and when the
final gun sounded there were few
fans in their seats. -
Jewell Uses Gun
Timekeeper R. E. Jewell resort
ed to the gun in the opening
quarter, when the noise of rival
cheering sections drowned the
sound of the buzzer. It was the
first time this year that a gun
had to be used to signal the end
of the quarters.
Bend's defeat was largely due to
the Panthers' passing attack and
their ability to break Into the
Bend defense zone. Holmstrom
lead the Redmond passing surges,
and his underhanded tosses- some
of them traveling Inches above
the floor, fooled the Bears. Ron
nie McDonald was high point
winner for Redmond, and he tied
with Hawes and Wirtz of Bend
for high point honors of the even
ing, each getting eight.
The Bears last night again
turned in a poor showing In con
verting free throws. Four out of
20 was the Bears' total for the
evening. Twenty fouls were also
charged against Bend, and the
Panthers converted nine, more
than enough to cinch the game.
Redmond Boys Cool
Not only did the Panthers teach
the Bears a few points about ball
handling, but they gave a fine
demonstration of something the
Bend boys need coolness under
fire. Never once did tne pantncrs
lose their pattern of coolness.
The Bears, however, were fre
quently up in the air, and the
Panthers took full advantage ot
the slips.
The Panthers lived up to all
advance notices, despite the con
tention of Coach Chick Pedon that
his boys were being "overplayed"
In Bend. Coach Pcden sought the
underdoe role for his squad, but
lost this dubious honor to the
frequently beaten Bears.
Redmond has been without a
home court since Its gymnasium
was destroyed by fire last spring,
and Coach Pedens noys practice
In an adjacent county, on the
Powell Butte court.
In the preliminary game last
night, Coach Everett (Jettman's
Cubs defeated the Redmond Kit
tens 17 to 5, In a contest featured
by close checking.
Bears to Travel
Bend will be away from home
again this weekend, in Medfora,
and. some fans point out, may
have the honor of playing In the

Today's Sport Parade
By Jack Cuddy
(United Praia Stafl Correspondent)
New York, Jan. 31 Ui A guess
ing game with two questions, but
as yet not even one answer, puts
baseball's 16 major league bosses
on the spot as "quiz kids" this
week-end and a few million fans
are awaiting what they will have
to say.
They want to know first wheth
er the tycoons will see fit to
name a new high commissioner to
succeed the late Judge Kenesaw
M. Landis, and II so who will it
be?
The high guys of the diamond
with a long reputation for con
servatism never want to be rushed
into anything, but the extreme
urgency of the problems now con
fronting baseball may bring them
to the selection of a commissioner,
although In normal times the post
probably would go unfilled for at
least another six months.
The setting for the meetings
will have all of the local color of
a political convention on a small
scale. There ts a definite bloc of
owners in both leagues which
wants National League President
Ford Frlck for the Job, but his
known supporters will need to
rally two or three more votes to
assure his election.
That there will be a "smoke
filled room" with persuasive ef
forts to swing borderline execu
tives on to the band wagon ap
pears certain, although if Frick
falls short of the necessary 12
votes, It Is conceivable that a com
promise candidate might emerge.
More likely, however, If such a
situation arises, It will mean a
tabling of the matter until a can
didate arrives upon the scene who
can rally the support necessary
lor election.
A factor In Frlck's favor ap
peal's to bo the revelation that
the recently drafted major league
agreement, which sets the pattern
for the election of a commissioner,
takes from the high office much
of the power that Landis wielded.
the agreement, which is expect
ed to be ratified Friday without
debate, provides the club owners
with veto power over all league
legislative matters. Thus, they
could put into the books rules
which the commissioner might not
sanction or which perhaps he
might oppose bitterly.
l nat clause might soften the op
position of some of the more no
table conservatives to Frick, who
has been a liberal, though not al
ways forceful executive as head
of the National league.
Owners, who often insisted that
Landis had "too much power" de
manded the veto clause when the
10-man committee was named to
draw up the agreement. Landis
had the final say-so at all times
and particularly in matters which
pertained to farm system baseball
he incurred the displeasure of
many of the magnates.
Although what campaigning no
has done for the job has been in
a quiet and indirect manner.
Frick seems to be sure of the sup
port ot tne owners in his own
league, with only Warren Giles
of the Cincinnati Reds a known
dissenter.
In the American league, Clark
Griffith of the Washington Sena
tors, Tom Yawkey of the Boston
Red Sox and both Col. Larry Mac
phail and Edward Barrow, rep
resenting the new and old re
gimes of the New York Yankees
have endorsed his candidacy. Don
ald Barnes of the St. Louis Browns
also was reported In line at one
time, although he has been non
commltal since the mid -winter
baseball meetings.
Oregon Quintet
To Face Huskies
Eugene, Ore., Jan. 31 (Ul When
the University of Oregon collides
with the Washington Huskies in
Seattle Friday and Saturday, the
Webfeet will need to win at least
one of the contests in the two
game series if they are to main
tain their lead.
Oregon goes to Seattle with the
realization that no northern di
vision team has beaten the Hus
kies on their home floor during
the last two seasons, when Wash
ington is backed up by a stellar
group of naval trainees.
Steps Up Tempo
Oregon coach John Warren has
been trying to step up the drive
and scoring tempo of the practice
sessions this week, so that his
team will be used to type of run-,
ning game the Huskies are used
to.
Three freshmen are almost cer
tain to bo in the starting lineup
Friday. Forwards Del Smith and
Dick Wilkins and guard Jim Bar

College Athletic
Scandal Stirs All
Of Sports World
By Carl Lundqulst
(United Preu Buff Correapondent)
New York, Jan. 31 (in Nation
wide repercussions to the most
sensational college athletic scan
dal in history brought prompt as
surance today from a quick-acting
grand jury that every phase of
bribery and gambling involving
basketball players in the metro
politan area would be Investigated
thoroughly.
The grand jury completed a 12
hour investigation late last night
of the bribery deal in which five
Brooklyn College players were
promised $3,000 to throw a game
and announced It would report its
findings to Kings (Brooklyn)
county Judge Samuel S. Leibowitz
at 10 a.m. (EWT) today.
Leibowitz, a devoted sports fan,
ordered the grand jury to check
not only Into the Brooklyn College
scandal, but to investigate reports
that other teams in the metro
politan area had been approached
by professional gamblers.
Asks For Board
"I am charging you also to con
duct a broad, exploratory, thor
ough and' conclusive investigation
witmn tne scope of jour author
ity," he said.
College athletic authorities
throughout the nation, shocked at
the revelation that the unprece
dented wave of gambling had re
sulted in a scandal as sensational
as the baseball "Black Sox" sell
out of 1919, were emphatic In
their belief that the sport would
be restored quickly to public con
fidence. .
They warned, however, that
there was an immediate need for
the establishment of a high conv
missioner or czar with enforce
ment powers which would prevent
the recurrence of such a scandal.
Metropolitan college basketball
coaches and athletics directors
pledged cooperation with the
grand jury in an emergency meet
ing last night in which they
stressed that there was no evi
dence that any other teams were
involved with professional gam
blers.
Gambling; Curbed
Ned Irish, promoter of basket
ball games at Madison Square
Garden said drastic steps were
taken at the meeting to combat
the wave of gambling and the
attendant shadow its casts upon
