Of Beating Idaho
In Title Contests
' Furene. Ore.. March 6 HPi
With seats lor the Impending Ore
gon-Washington State basketball
series already as scarce as hens'
teeth, both teams have started
intensive preparations for the
northern division championship
series to be held at Pullman and
Eugene.
Coach John Warren's Oregon
underdog victors over Oregon
State last Saturday are feeling
encouraged over their prospects
pf defeating the WSC Cougars,
who tied them by defeating Idaho
twice last weekend.
According to agreement of the
graduate managers, the opening
game of the series will be at Pull
man next Saturday night. The
second game and the third one,
if necessary will be played the
following Friday and Saturday
at Eugene. - 1 - '
Because the coast playoffs with
the southern division winner have
been cancelled by UCLA, the win
ner of the WSC-Oregon series will
automatically represent the coast
. in the western Intercollegiate
tourney. "
Do It Hard Way
Although Warren's Webfeet
were one of the ore-season favori
tes to win the northern division
title, they chose to do it tne nara
way. They suffered defeats at
crucial times, so that two play
offs were necessary to decide the
championship.
If there is to be a favorite for
the forthcoming series, it win oe
the Couears. who have their
snnhnmore "ace in the hole" in
fhn nerson of Vince Hansen, out
Ktjindliiff star, who broke the
northern division scoring record
with a total of 253 oolnts, com-
nnred with Gale Bishop's 1943
record of 224 points in a 16-game
season. " .
While the Oregon team will be
stressing everything involving of
fense and defense against the
starters, they most surely will be
giving a lot of attention to Han
sen, who will have to be tied down
if the Oregon squad Is to come
through with a series victory.

she Just made herself a million

"How's that?"
"She, Just established herself as
the sure-fire successor to Sonja
Henie. She's only 16 now: but
she's the hottest thing on Ice."
The scores hadn t been an

won the North American Ladles'
Figure-Skating championship.

and certainty as she zoomed
through a difficult, daring pattern
that Included many whirling leaps
and dizzy spins.
Why was the old-timer so sure
that Barbara Ann would succeed
Sonta. the "Goldon Gal?"
Because she s a better skater
right now than Sonja ever was,"
he stated emphatically, "although
naturally she hasn t got sonia s
showmanship yet. However, she

the Bend sUb-statiori: lit. Cmdr. -
Biehler stated that the outstand
ing performance in the procure-'
ment of men qualified to take
radar technicial training by pass
ing the Eddy Test, was the prin
cipal reason for Bend's winning

Vive Recruited
During the month the Central

serve a great deal of praise for

Racing Industry
Still Holds Hope
New York, March 6 lPi The
thoroughbred racing industry be
gan waiting today lor the occas
ion when a "ray of hope" from
the office of war mobilizer James
F. Byrnes will brighten into a
"green light" for the resumption
oi racing.
There were intimations that it
might come even before the fall
of Germany. Maj. Thomas H.
McCreery, head of the Horsemen's
Protective Benevolent association,
said he had been assured that
limited racing would be permitted
"as soon as war conditions in
Europe are sufficiently improved
to warrant It."
McCreery, reporting a lengthy
conference with Maj. Gen. Lucius
D. Clay, a deputy Jn Byrnes' of
fice, provided the industry with
the first definite word that the
administration would consider
plans for reopening the tracks
before the war was over.
"Gen. Clay assured us that
when Justice Byrues considers
that war conditions . permit, he
will call in representatives of the
horsemen, the owners, the breed
ers, and the racing associations
for consultation in a plan for rac
ing," McCreery said.

4 Tax Measures
Go Into Hopper
Salem, Ore., March 6 U A
series of four important bills,
sponsored by the taxation and rev
enue committee, was up for house
consideration today. They would
set up the machinery to provide
$14,000,000 for schools of the state
during the next blennium.
The bills, drawn at the sugges
tion of Sen. Dean Walker, chair
man of the senate ways and means
committee, were due for "speed
up" action merited by their im
portance.
First of the series was HB 145--levying
a five-mill property tax
outside of the six per cent limita
tion, to raise an estimated $10,000,-
000 during two years for the build
ing program of the state board of
higher education.
The next, HB 146, would allow
$8,000,000 (instead of $5,000,000)
to go to the schools from the In
come tax surpluses.
Would Tax Clgarets
HB 417 would levy a two cent
cigaret tax, estimated to raise
$4,000,000 in two years, for
schools. . -
The last of the group provides
for a special election to be called
on June 22, 1945, to submit the
first three to the voters of the
state.
The bills are designed to raise
money which members of the po
tent ways and means committee
say can be raised in no other way.
