(AP Wirephoto) Bearcats Tighten Hold on Loop Lead in Wildcat Win Willamette university's gang of sophomore cagers posted their seventh win of the Northwest conference season at the expense of the Linfield Wildcats at Mc Minnville Friday night, 59 to 57. The triumph entrenched Coach Johnny Lewis' Bearcats a full two and a half games in the first place position. Willamette was given an as sist by the College of Idaho who turned back the Pacific Badgers at Caldwell, 51 to 43. Lewis and Clark appeared par ticularly potent as they slaugh tered the Whitman Missionaries at Walla Walla, 62 to 36 in the first of a two game series. The Bearcat win was not without its anxious moments, particularly in the late stages of the tilt, when the Wild cats pulled up within three points as they put on a des perate bid under both back boards in a final drive. But the steadiness of the Willamette sophomores stood them in good stead as they calm- kitA aatcheA y FRED ZIMMERMAN, Capitol Journal Sports Editor A Good Selection Contracting Bill Beard for a catching assignment wih the Salem Senators is a good move as most fans will agree. Relieved of the managerial chores, which doubtless interferred with his work at the plate last year, Bill should boost his hitting per centage several points during the approachnig season A con scientious worker and well versed in the receiver's job, Bill should be a big help in handling the pitchers, who, as a rule, are none too experienced in Western International compe tlon. Bill's selection had the enthusiastic Bill at the player Llska, the submarine pitcher who succeeded Bill at the player helm. And while Beard has accepted a minor role In baseball, he has not given up his ambition to become a full time mana ger. Probably Bill's chief weakness was his failure to get tough with the men under him when they needed a good talk ing to. Certainly nobody could ask for a more considerate boss. More Lives Than a Cat It Is possible that the issue of who is to operate the Salem -Senators won't be determined until the night the first ball is tossed next April?. One would suspect as much judging by the on again, off. again dickering that has been in pro gress during the past several months. The local group of business and professional "men who entered into the picture when the plan of general public ownership fell lat, state they have the money with which to operate and have pre sented a proposal to the owners which they believe is fair. Absence of George Norgan, principal owner of the parent. Portland club. ., is now blamed for a lack of response to the latest move in the game of checkers. Fan Interest Centered What is of more importance and interest to the fans, who after all must determine financial success of the venture, is whether a winning combination will be placed on the field. Ownership, of course is important. But a losing team, regard less of who holds the franchise, won't pay off in this community in a financial way. Through all of the dickering, Business Manager George Emigh has been working hard to secure the necessary players. He believes he has secured the foundation for a good infield and if he succeeds in his ambition to gain possession of a half dozen top notch pitchers, the club will be set for a good season. Bearcat Backers Wake Up Next Wednesday at the Roosevelt hotel in Portland, the Portland Bearcat club will meet to discuss prospects and possibilities for stronger athletic clubs at Willamette uni versity. An Invitation, a three color job compiled by Fred Arpke, secretary of the Portland group, is being widely cir culated.

Irish Billy of New York a 4-1 underdog, won a split 10-round decision over the speedy Havana Keed" before 11,812 at Madi son Square Garden last night. The statuesque, brown-haired son of an East Side saloon-keeper surprised the fans by carry ing the fight to Gavilan in every round. His tactics were unex pected, for his punch and his speed had been rated inferior to those of brown-skinned Gavilan who already has fought cham pion Robinson twice once for the title. Graham's solid left jabs to the face and his right smashes to the body gave him a close but def inited margin of victory.

But don't mention deep sea fishing to the little man whose courage and ability won the New York baseball writers' award as the most valuable player of 1949. "I'll do my fishing off a pier," the Scooter insisted. "First of all, I get seasick. Second, I'm scared of that deep water." Three years in the navy didn't ever cure him of chronic sea sickness, Rizzuto saif. Even a picture of the "Mighty Mo" can make his stomach do barrel rolls. 'Even on a big ship I had my troubles," he explained, his brown eyes pathetic with the memories. "But I'll tell you why no body can lure me on a boat for deep sea fishing anymore," Phil continued. "A few years ago when the Yanks were training in St. Petersburg we had a pitcher named Herb Karpel. One day he asked me to go out with him and I de fied my stomach and went along." The two Yankees hired a boat with an outboard motor and coasted out into the Gulf about six or seven miles, trawl ing and making a good haul. "Then the motor stopped," Phil recalled. "I grabbed the starting rope and gave It a pull and the rope flew out of my hands and fell overboard." There was a mad scramble to try to get it back, but a wave carried the rope away. We had only one paddle and there was an offshore wind, so we couldn't do anything that way," Rizzuto added. "Then it clouded over and started to rain: there were no boats in sight and we only had one paddle and nothing to bail with The waves looked as big as Yankee stadium and, I'll tell you, I was scared.' Phil and Karpel sat there In that storm-tossed little boat for two hours before one of them Phil doesn't remember who came up with a bright idea. They took their shoe la ces and braided them together and made a pull rope for the motor and got it started. Idle Viks Check Records, Find Gilson's Average Top Coach Harold Hauk'i Viking cagers sat back over the week end during their idle time and opened the scoring books to look over the summary of their nine teen games played thus far.

Oregon's scoring was paced by Guard Mel Krause with 10. Forward Will Urban tallied and was the key figure in floor play. Assistant Coach Don Kirsch handled the Ducks in the ab sence of Coach John Warren, ill with pneumonia. In other division action, the University of Idaho Vandals stole the ball, then stole the ball game last night as they provided the other Northern division's upset. The Vandals eked out a 51-50 victory over the division-leading Washington State cillege Cou gars, performing their larceny in the last 10 seconds under the nose of the timer's poised final gun. In a non-conference fray at Seattle, the second-place Uni versity of Washington Huskies wound up 20 points behind the Ball-hogging Wyoming Cowboys of the Skyline six, dropping a 49-29 decision despite parading 17 players into the contest.

'Satch' Waivers Asked in Move to Release Hurler Cleveland, Feb. 11 (U.R) Slow-moving Satchcll Paige drew his walking papers from Cleveland today plus its plaudits for a job "well done." In a move that seemed to spell the end of the big league road for the ancient Negro pitcher, the Indians announced they have asked waivers on the gangling Paige for the pur pose of giving him his uncon ditional release. Before cutting h 1 m loose, however, General Manager Hank Greenberg said: "He did the job asked of him In bringing us six victo ries toward the pennant in 1948. We want to release him now so he can make his own plans for the coming season." Paige, the colorful, shuffl ing right-hander who stub bornly clung to the question able claim that he was only 43 years old, indicated he will return to Negro baseball where he won fame and for tune and whence he came to Cleveland in July of 1948. The gangling, sleepy-looking Paige, of scant help to the Indians last year, was a tre mendous drawing card never theless with his bizarre "hesi tation" pitch, his double and triple wind- ups. Crowds flocked to see him in every city of the circuit, the climax coming last Aug. 20 when 78, 342 fans largest throng ever to witness a night game crammed Comiskey Park to see him subdue the White Sox, 1 to 0. He won four and lost seven last season. Enfilade, dam of a C. V.
