Vikings to Play State
Frosh On Tuesday Night
The annual basketball game
between the Oregon State Frosh
and Salem high Vikings Tues
day night is expected to provide
the Haukmen with a respite
from the rugged Big Six series
and high school competition.
The Staters, who undoubtedly
will be tough to beat, will offer
the Viks no crucial hurdle so far
as league standings are concern
ed. The game comes on the heels
of a victory for Coach Harold
Hauk's crew over Astoria which
evened the 50-year-old series at
25 games apiece. The Viks won,
44-32.
Dempsey Voted Greatest
Fighter of Half Century
By GAYLE TALBOT
New York, Jan. 30 (P) "This
is the greatest thing that ever
happened to me. I hope I'm
worthy of It."
Those were the first words
that popped from Jack Demp
ey when he was told he had
been voted the greatest prize
lighter of the past 50 years in a
nationwide poll of sportswriters
and sportscastcrs conducted by
the Associated Press.
The old Manassa Mauler
plainly meant what he said. He
was pretty well flabbergasted.
"There have been so many
great fighters," he protested.
"I don't know how the boys
can be sure I was the best.
But if they think I was, it
makes me mighty happy."
The vote, he was assured, had
been more than decisive. Of the
393 experts who participated in
the poll, 251 had voted the
straight Dempsey ticket. Only

Demaret Says Lady Luck
Aided His Phoenix Win
Phoenix, Aril., Jan. 30 (U.R)
Jaunty Jimmy Demaret, the
most flamboyant of golf's tour
ing .professionals, said today
"Lady Luck" helped him win
the $10,000 Ben Hogan Open. .
Demaret collected $2,000 first
place money yesterday after he
carded his' fourth straight sub
par round for a 269 total, one
stroke off Bobby Locke's tour
nament record set in 1D48 on
the Phoenix Country club
course. The colorful Ojai, Calif.,
professional also won the event
last year In a playoff with Ben
Hogan, namesake of this year's
event.
Hogan finished far down
among the winners, coming in
with a 283 total which gave
him 16.66. Ben started off
Doug Rogers and Captain
Daryl Girod led the Salem
team with eight points, but
they were closely chased by
Jim Rock, Dave Chamberlain
and Layton Gilson, each of
whom collected seven.
The Vikings were never in
danger throughout the contest,
leading 18-8, 31-19 and 35-23 at
the end of the first three periods.
The early margins built up by
the Vikings carried them
through the second half of the
game Saturday night without
effort.
Joe Louis, the great Negro
champion who retired a year
ago after an 11-year reign, gave
Jack anything resembling a
race. The Brown Bomber drew
104 votes.
"It's difficult to compare
fighters," Dempsey observed.
"It's hard for me even to pick
the best man I fought. I sup
pose I should say Gene Tun
ney, because he won my title
from me, but I'm not sure.
"Firpo had a great punch. I
didn't even know he had knock
ed me out of the ring until I
came to on my stool between
rounds. I thought I had been
knocked out. Bill Brennan was
a good man, too, and so were
Willie Meehan and Tommy Gib
bons. It's hard to pick the best.
"Of course, when I was cham
pion, I thought I could whip any
20 soandsos they tossed into
the ring with me. If a, fighter
doesn t feel that way he can't be
champion."

Bearcats Look Forward To
Second PU Game after Loss
Mid-year examinations will
hold the attention of Coach
Johnny Lewis' Bearcats this
week as they look ahead to a
return joust with the Pacific
university Badgers, next Satur
day night at Forest Grove.
It was apparent the 'Cats had
something other than basketball
on their minds last Saturday
evening when they were on the
short end of a 64 to 48 score. The
loss shoved them down into
tie with Pacific for first place
in Northwest conference compe
tion.
In view of restricted play
ing conditions in Pacific's
gymnasium, Willamette will
have its work cut out when
it meets the Badgers there. An
over-hanging balcony makes
it tough on the uninitiated.

Claim Evashevski
Signed for WSC
Coaching Spot
Seattle, Jan. 30 WV-An un
impeachable source said last
nitrht that Washington State
college has signed Forrest Eva
shevski, Michigan State college
assistant, as its head football
coach.
The same source, who declin
ed use of his name, said Evashev
ski was given a five-year con
tract calling for more than $10,
000 a year.
At Pullman, however, Bob
Brumblay, WSC athletic direc
tor, denied the report. He said
no one has been signed and
"negotiations for the head foot
ball coach are still going on."
And at East Lansing, Mich.,
Evashevski's only comment
was: "I haven't signed any
thing lately but my son's re
port card."
The Michigan State assistant
gained fame in college football
as blocking back and field gen
eral for Tommy Harmon at the
University of Michigan.
In hiring Evashevski, WSC
would take a lead from Oregon
State college which only last fall
lured Kip Taylor from a Michi
gan State post.
