They're All Tough
Reminded that he had now played all members of the North
west conference and asked what club was the stronger, Coach
Johnny Lewis replied, "They're all tough." That answer should
. have been anticipated because few coaches will go out on a
limb so far as to indicate, even
any particular outfit is weaker than the others. . That would
be inviting trouble. But, regardless of the lack of willingness
on the part of Lewis to be placed on a hot spot, the Northwest
conference season has been one wherein one .week's favorite
has been knocked off the next by a club that , had been rele
gated to the also ran classification. "It's a screwy, situation
and a man has to be slightly teched in the head to coach such
a sport," commented Johnny.
Bearcats Still On Top
Although playing one less game than the other five mem
bers of the Northwest circuit, Willamette is leading by
approximately two full games. Pacific, which was con
sidered the strongest sort of threat to Bearcat prestige,
has skidded into fifth position as the result of a disastrous
road trip across the mountains. College of Idaho has as
sumed the role of runnerup, with Lewis and Clark in third
place, a half game ahead of Whitman. With Willamette
playing four of its remaining five conference games at
home, it would seem they should protect their edge, but
most anything can happen in a season that bas provided
as many upsets as this one.
Pilots Strong Outfit
The University of Portland Pilot basketball squad is a potent
outfit, one that would stack up favorably in Pacific Coast con
ference competition. Coach Mush Torson had his men working
to their best advantage of the season Tuesday night as they
cooned Willamette, 81 to 57. The score didn't constitute a
record, for Stewart Chevrolet recently topped the Bearcats by
a count of 87 to 51. Experience counts for a lot in basketball
and the Pilots demonstrated they had it against Willamette.
Marv Goodman Handicapped
In spite of having to nurse a back injury that has the
medics bothered to some extent, Marv Goodman, ex-Willamette
athlete, is doing an excellent job of coaching at
Canby high school. Goodman recently spent five days in
a Portland hospital while doctors looked him over In an
effort to determine the reason for a numbness in his back.
The difficulty seems to be tied in with a chipped disc on a
vertebrae. He was taped up tighter than a base drum
Tuesday night in order to be present for the regular bas
ketball game.
It Can Be Done
Something new in relations between Oregon and Oregon
State developed recently when the swimming and wrestling
clubs of the Beaver institution teamed up with the Webfoot
tank squad in chartering a bus for a trip into the Inland Em
pire for a series of matches. No doubt a considerable saving
was effected in travel expense ... It seems the seating capacity
of Gill pavilion Is not the 10,000 plus announced for the big
hoop palace prior to its opening. However, they can jam in
more than 9000 individuals around the playing court, which
is quite an improvement over the old gym. Largest crowd to
date was the 8824 turnout for the second tilt with the University
of Washington, February . j
Bob Payne, sophomore for
ward, paced the scoring for
both teams. He added 17
points to the Beaver cause, 13
in the nip-and-tuck first half.
Bob Pritchett led Idaho wiih
14 tallies.

OSC 27-23.

Rook Rally Brings 36-28
Setback
Corvallis, Feb. 16 A heated
third quarter rally by the Ore
gon State Rooks proved disas
trous for Salem high's Vikings
here Wednesday night. The
Rooks defeated the capital city
prepsters 36-28 in the prelim
inary to the OSC-Idaho Pacific
Coast conference clash.
For the first two periods, the
Viks managed to hold their own
with the huge Rooks. At the
first quarter stop, the OSC year
lings led 11-9, and at halftime
had the Salems down 17-14.
The Vikings, still very much
in the ball game as the second
half opened, muffed their
chances in the third stanza. The
OSC yearlings piled up 15 points
to Salem's 4 in that period, to
move out front 32-18.
Salem came back strongly,
outscoring the Rooks 10-4 in
the fourth period, but the
third quarter Rook surge had
been too severe to overcome.
No player on either team had
a big night as far as scoring is
concerned. Bob Adrian, Rook
center, led the point-producing
parade with a dozen counters,
six of them on free throws. No

DiMaggio Predicts Five
Team Race in A League
By HAL WOOD
(United Press Sports Writer)
San Francisco, Feb. 18 (U.R)
loltin' Jo DiMaggio, the pride of
San Francisco's North Beach
and the $100,000 New York Yan
kee outfielder, predicted today
that the 1950 American league
pennant race would be a five
team affair.
"The club we'll have to beat
will be the Boston Red Sox,"
said the sun-tanned DiMaggio,
but there II be a lot of com
petition from the Detroit Tig
ers, Cleveland Indians and
Philadelphia Athletics."
DiMaggio, claiming he was in
his best physical condition since
he entered the major leagues
as a Yank in 1936, also pre
dicted that he would be able to
play a full schedule this year.
"In all my baseball years
I've never felt in as good
condition as 1 am this year,"
he said. "I've played a lot
of golf; my legs are as in as
good condition as any rookie's,
and I haven't an ailment thai
you could possibly think of.
Only thing left on the agenda
Is a couple of more visits to
the dentist before I report for
spring practice."
DiMaggio said he would leave
here by air the latter part of the
month for the Florida training
camps of the Yanks.
"And I expect to be able to
go into the outfield the first day
of the American league cam
paign and stay there for a
change," he said.
in 14 years since he first went
up to the big time from the San
Francisco Seals, DiMaggio's
name has graced the opening
day lineup only twice. And
only once in 1942 was he able
to play a full schedule. That
year he got in 153 games. The
other seasons it always was a
bad leg, tonsils or some other
Illness.
DiMaggio tipped the scales at
202 pounds today, but hoped to
get up to 208 by the time the
season opens.
"I gain weight with exer
cise," he said, "and that's why
I've taken up golf. I hope
to be able to play more golf
between now and the open
ing of spring practice. .Then

on the course, and Mom sets

In the short while he has been!
playing golf, DiMaggio hasn't
been any shining example of
perfection. His best round has
been 103 on tough Sharp Park
golf course on the edge of San
Francisco. He has been playing
regularly with his brother, Dom,
of the Red Sox, who isn't much
better than Joe.
There is a lot of grey hair
creeping into what was once
Joe's patent-leather black head-i
piece, but the all-time star is of
the opinion that he might still
have a lot of baseball left in
the majors.
"No one can tell,' be said.
1 may have only two or three
years left and 1 may be good
for five or six. It all depends
upon the way you feel, and
right now I feel as good as I
did the first day I stepped
en a baseball field."
DiMaggio is 35 years old, but
believes he has as much speed;
as good a throwing arm, and
keen an eye at the bat as he
ever had.
Getting back to the' pennant
race, he said:
"Those Red Sox, Just like a
lot of the rest of us, aren't get
ting any younger. And it is
hard to believe that they all
would put together good hitting
years again in 1950 like they
did last year. Their double-
play combination at center will
be slowing down, too.
'But they have great pitch
ing; and this young Maurice Mc-
Dermott is going to be another
Lefty Grove.
"As for ourselves, we'll be
in the race again. Casey
Stengel did a wonderful job of
Juggling around a bunch of
cripples last year. We all
hope to be in better physical
condition this season.
"With ail due credit to Phil
Rizutto and Joe Page one of the
men who made us tick last year
was Jerry Coleman at second.
Ho stepped in there and filled
m with surprising hitting
strength when nobody thought
he could do it.
"There are a lot of our fel
lows who aren't getting any
younger, either but we have
a great bunch of youngsters on
the team, too, like Coleman,
who is only 25."

High School Mat Champ

What's it like to be a champ?
"It's a lot of fun."
Those weren't the words of:

"I'm seared I'll lose when I

brown haired lad when asked
what it felt like before enter
teg the event.
"I think my record does hold
a little advantage over the other
fellows as the opponents are a
little cautious sometimes," re
plied Schwietz. Thus far Vic has
decisioned all but one opponent
this year. One match was won
by a pin.
