Plumbers Coach Johnny Lewis' Willamette university Bearcats over powered the Oregon College of Education Wolves Tuesday night (1 to 30 as both aides of the basketball contest swept the reserve benches clean. It was Willamette's second win In as many starts and the first loss for Coach Bob Knox' squad in three appearances. Bob Johnson, big gun in the Bearcat assault, collecting IS points, although brother Jim's five baskets from the floor were tops In that department. Bob had nine chances from the foul line and made good on seven of them. Bob McK.ee and Jess Palmer, each with seven markers, were high scorers for the Wolves. Ted Johnson and Dick Allison stalwart Bearcat guards, watch ed proceedings from the spec tators' gallery, both being on the injured list. Other than the first minute of play when Harrell Smith drop ped in a two-pointer, the Wolves trailed all of the way. Jim Johnson almost immediately countered with a swing shot from the slot while Bob John son collected two gifters. A bucket by Freshman Ted Loder made it 6-2 and the parade was on. Half time found Willamette leading 23-11. A basket by Clauoe Buckley and two quickies by McKee, cut the margin to seven points short ly after action was resumed fol lowing the intermistion. The 'Cats took time out and when play was resumed Bob Johnson dropped in the first of four baskets he was to collect during the next few minutes while a bucket by Jim Johnson and a gifter by Tom Warren gave the Lewis men a 36-19 bulge. With the game apparently safe Coach Lewis started a ser ies of substitutions that brought all of his men into action. Tom Warren, the 145 pound regular guard, whose weight tags him as the smallest man on the squad, did ar, excellent Job of feeding. Hugh Bellinger, one of the several freshmen, didn't break into the scoring column but his floor work mark ed him as a comer. His brother Allan, making his initial appear ance caged two buckets, one aft er he had stolen the ball. Willamette's next eicounter will be with Pasadena Junior college Thursday night.

George M. TraiMman, the minor league commissioner, who presided over the meetings at which more than 600 club pres idents were represented, said baseball had to face the fact that inflation was a serious prob lem. Even though attendance hit an all-time high during last sea son, Trautman stressed difficul ties which plagued certain clubs and which threatened eventual ly to force them out ot business. The unfortunate Newark, N. J., club, long the prize minor league franchise of the New York Yankee dynasty, was cited as a typical example ot the most pressing of these problems television. Television is considered a by product of prosperity because so many persons in the United States now have enough money to buy sets.

There's nothing more ex hilarating than to swoop down a rink floor at a breeze-raising speed. And it takes little or no effort. Roller skating is more than ex citing exercise. For those people chained to school or office desks it develops poife, coordination and good posture. And you don't have to buy vourself a closet full of expen sive equipment. I started with a pair of skates cost: $3.9.1 and that's all you need. You can rent them at the rink. too. The average rink has a lower admis sion price than a movie, a ten ni court or a bowling alley. Roller skating Is one of the largest mars production sports in America. Roller skating is much older than baseball or football, and only a little younger than the ancient sport of golf. Some unknown Hollander back in the early part of the eighteenth century, couldn't bear the thought of missing ice skat ing in the summer, so he attached some wood spools to strips of wood, fastened them to his shoes and went bumping merrily along the roads of old Holland. Joseph Merlin, a Belgian mu sical instrument maker who lived in London in 1760, made a making the effort to attend mi nor league games in parks where they cannot see the same cali ber of play. Those circum stances literally wrecked New ark as a minor league town.

The first patented skates, in 1823, had five wheels in a single line. The middle one was larger, so the skater could make short turns. It wasn't until the use of parellel wheels on skates, and ball bearings, that roller skaters could move as freely and grace fully as Ice skaters. But now, figure and dance skating on the maple floors of rinks is as perfect and as artistic as on ice. Which brings me to what I spoke about in the first place poise, coordination, good posture. Those are the qualities necessary to skate well, and I'll tell you how to achieve them in my subsequent columns. And since, according to the Roller Skating Institute of America figures, there are over 4,000 roller skating rinks in the nation, you won't have to go far to practice what I preach! Duck Hoopers See Dismal Year University of Oregon's Web-1 foots expect a fairly dismal cam paign on the Pacific Coast con ference's Northern division bas ketball courts this year but their opponents will have to face a squad that managed a 70-point a game average in early tune ups. "What we need most is a few breaks." Coach John Warren said. "We have a high-scoring potential but lack experience." Most campus enthusiasm has been exhausted on the Ducks' football team which earned its first crack at the Dallas, Tex., Cotton Bowl and took away Sen ior Center Dick Wilkins, whose eligibility ran out last year and caused his deflection to the grid iron as a star end. Warren hasn't issued any (lowing claims for his team and plainly was disappointed by the Oregon showing against little Willamette uni versity of Salem, Ore., in an opening game. Willamette surprised the favored Web foots, 55-43. when Warren's big guns failed to function. Oregon, however, went on to defeat the University of British Columbia, 81-42, and the Clover- leafs, Canadian amateur cham pions, 86-64, to show a potential punch.

MILL CITY HOOPERS TOP Aumsville Mill City, an im pressive looking team in the re cent Marion county B league jamboree, defeated the Aums ville Rangers here Tuesday night, 34 to 28. pers. Center Roger Wiley and combination Center-Guard Bob Amacher. Amacher hasn't been able to find an opponents' bas ket, but Wiley has plunged home 52 points for a 17.3 average in the three games. "Those two boys undoubt edly will give somebody trouble during the conference season," Warren said. "Wil lamette bounced our favored squad in the first game last year and we still went on to finish high in the division. It Just takes time to get going." Aside from Wiley and Ama cher, the Webfoots expect an under-six footer, little Bob La vey, to be their sparkplug for 1949. Lavey is a two-year let terman at guard and specializes in sweeping down the court when defensemen begin hover ing around the big men. Against Willamette he turned in a 13 point performance and ran his total to 48 against UBC and the Cloverleafs. Warren says he hasn't yet found his best possible court unit. Mainly he is experiment ing with Vanport transfer Paul Sowers, Paul Cooper, Lynn Hamilton and Will Urban at for wards and with either Ken See borg or Dick Unis in the back court with Lavey.

Bobby Richards, top rung performer of the state's featherweights, a boxer who lays claim to the Oregon feather weight title, will meet Monty Montgomery, Klamath Indian, in the 10 round main event. Montgomery, who made a futile attempt to lift the crown aeveral months ago In a 15-round engagement, has taken on Charley Jost as a manager. He has been working out in Portland for his bout with Richards and observers aay ha has made considerable Improvement. Montgomery has always been popular with the fans because of his willingness to mix matters. Irish Johnny O'Day, hard hitting middleweight, and Modoe Jack, Nevada Indian, and a newcomer to local fistic circles have been assigned the six-round semi-final. Three four-rounders will complete the card. Dean and Bud Abney will square off against Al Cliff and Dick Collie, respectively. In two of the premillnary skirmishes. Hard Head Jones Butts Mat Bout Rufus Jones' noggin proved a bit tougher than the one atop the Grey Mask's neck as the pair engaged in a butting contest at the armory Tuesday night. The entertainment was classified as professional wrestling. The Mask took the initial "fall" but Jones came back to win the second and third. Whitey Wahlberg took a one fall decision over Herb Parks in one of the preliminaries. Jack O'Riley downed George Poppen heim while Rene La Bell and Stockey Kneilsen went I half hour to a no fall draw. (Br l'nlt.4 Prtaa) Warren said, "and I couldn't get back Into the game.
