Seattle Favored over Idaho
State in Playoff Contest
By BILL McFARLAND
. . Seattle, CJJD Seattle Univer
sity ruled a heavy favorite
today to whip Idaho State In
their elimination game here to
morrow night for berth in the
Wei tern Regional NCAA Bas
ketball play-offs at CorvaUii.
The Idaho State-Seattle win
ner meeta Pacific Coait Confer-
n c e champion Washington
March 13 and the Santa Clara
Hardin Simmons victor takes on
Wyoming In the other semi
final game at Corvallia. The
regional champion enters the na
tional playoffs at Kansas City
next week. ,
SeatUe, an "at-large" entry,
will shoot its fabulous O'Brien
twins All-American John and
brother Eddie, at the Rocky
Mountain champions.
The O'Briens are the differ
ence between the two clubs.
Stopping them will be the task
ef Idaho State, whose claim
ie fame lies in its defense. The
' Bengals have held opposition
to an average ef 97 point a
game. Seattle has averaged IT
per contest
"That defense could give us
trouble," says Seattle Coach Al
Brightman, who adds "we're not
looking past Idaho State to
Washington."
Idaho State Coach Steve
Belko said on his arrival here
with his squad, "I might have an
answer for those look-alike sen
sations from South Amboy, New
Jersey.
"But you don't think for a
minute I'm going to tell anyone
in Seattle about It do you?"
Belko added.
One thing is certain, Seat
tle won't rely on Its defense,
because It doesn't have one.
The Chieftains are runner
and shooters.
They'll attempt to wear down
the boys from the high country
with a racehorse offense. They've
been successful against 27 of 30
opponents with that strategy
this year.
The Chiefs work on an Inside
and outside theory. Five-foot-nine
inch John O'Brien will be
in the pivot firing his accurate
hook shots and leaping layirj.
If Idaho State sags on him de
fensively, then "outside Eddie"
unlimbers from long range and
he's really deadly.
Idaho State will put its cham
pionship hopes on a pair of
sophomores Lee Roh, who was
scoring chamlon in his confer
ence, and Dick Bauer, a 6-6
backboard expert.
As Belko stressed his defense
at today's get acquainted work
out in the University of Wash
ington pavilion, aite of the
games, he said "we know Seattle
can be beaten. Don't count us
out yet"

By GATLE TALBOT
..Phoenix, Arts. WV The new
look Chicago White Sox, having
been carefully stuck together by
Manager Paul Richards in the
seclusion of El Centro, Calif.,
are to be officially unveiled In
a game against their crosstown
rivals, the Chicago Cubs, at
nearby Mesa tomorrow.
Thereafter for 11 straight days
the club which has been tabbed
by many experts as a contender
for the American League pen
nant is to receive a steady test
ing from the Cubs, the New York
Giants and the Cleveland In
dians, all of whom are looking
forward with much pleasure to
taking a whack at the team
which hogged the winter's pub
licity. The Giants, in particular, are
laying for the Sox because Rich
ards at first announced he wasn't
bringing all his regulars for the
two games here next week. Pre
sident Horace Stoneham of the
Giants got that straightened out
In a hurry, but the memory lin
gers on.
- Preston Ward continues to
work hard at converting him
self from a first baseman into
a center fielder for the Cabs,
rsnd Manager Phil Cavarretta
feels fairly confident the ex
periment will prove a success.
"All he's got to do now is learn
to catch the ones hit straight at
him and over his head," Phil
OE3OE3OE0
said. "We're hitting about 200 a
day at him and he loves it. That a
the big thing his spirit."
Giants officials, miffed at a
somewhat garbled report that
a Cubs spokesman had said his
team would knock the Giants
out of the first division, ap
pointed this reporter to inquire
if the boys at Mesa would be
interested in wagering a few
ults of clothes. The reply was
no.
The impression here is that the
Cubs cannot hope to improve on
their fifth-place finish of last
year unless they come up with
a catcher who can hold runners
on base. By coincidence, ine
Giants have just such a catcher
in Sal Yvars, and he is available.

The husky Chicago outfielder,
tied with Ralph Kiner for home
run honors with ST last year,
concedes his race with Kiner
caused a decline in his hitting.
Actually, he slumped from a
850 mid-June batting average
to a final figure of .270.
"Without realising it antll
It was toe late," he aald yes
terday at Mesa, Arts., "I al
lowed myself -to become a
pressure victim last seasoa.
In my desire to wia the heme
ran crown, I was swinging for
the seats almost every time
I stepped to the plate.
"This year therell be no more
switching bats or shifting
stances. I'll settle for my natural
swing. I learned my lesson and
it won't happen again' .
Last season was the fifth con
secutive year in which the 33-year-old
flychaser hit at least
30 home runs. He compiled his
highest average,- .279. in 1049
when he drove out SI circuit
wallops.
Meanwhile, Wally Westlake,
another veteran outfielder, had
other ideas.

trail with the Cleveland In
dians after poor year. Is aim

of Manager Al Lopez and get

the left field fence at Tucson,

Take a healthier out,"
Lopes told him. "Be vicious.
I don't care if you fall down
because you swing so hard.
Use your strength."
If 'his comeback succeeds.
Westlake Is sure of a regular
Job in right field, Lopez says,
for "he's an excellent outfielder,
can run well and his arm la
strong."
Elsewhere, Mickey Mantle.
who turned 21 last Oct. 20, has
come of age in more than one
way. The fleet-fotted center-
fielder will bat in the cleanup
spot for the world Champion
New York Yankees in the early
exhibition games and may start
the season in that position if
he comes through.
"There are only two men
oa the club who can hit
fourth," Manager Casey Sten
gel declared. "So it has to be
either, one or the other.

Mantle was the American

last season at .311 but he atruck
out 111 times, a Yankee record
He also hit 23 homers during his

Dykes Burned Up at New
'No Rhubarb' Rule in Amerk
By JACK HAND
West Pslm Beach, Fla. W)
Jimmy Dykes is burning about
the new Amerlcsn league ruling
that says sn umpire's Judgment
mnst not be questioned by a
player, manager or coach.
The manager of the Philadel
phia A's ended his brief armis
tice with the umps after reading
the new rule from the office of
Will Harridge, American league
president
"We're going to have to edu
cate the public to pay more at
tention," aald Dykes with a
straight face. "Mickey Mantle
and those other boys don't mean
a thing any more. It'a only the
umpires the people psy to see.
Now they're putting the four
umpires on a pedestal.
"If they want i-olorleas
games. It's oksy with me. I'm
warning my players the first
to get tossed out of a game
for questioning an umpire's
Judgment will get a fine from
me. If that's the way they
want It, they can have it"
Dykes loosened this blsst ss
he re-read the rules In the A's
club house.
The rule on umps read like
this:
"Effective with the opening of
the American League season, any
decision involving the accuracy
of an umpire s judgment msy not
be questioned by a manager,
player or coach.
"No mar.ager, player er
coach shall be permitted to
leave the bench or his position
on the field to question an um
pire's decision an calling of
balls and strikes or the so
called half strike. ,
"For violation ef this rule, a
manager, player or coach will
be removed from the game."
General Manager Art Ehlers
of the As backed up Dykes'
blsst.
"They wsnt to take all the
color out of baseball," said Eh
lers. "What do they want the
players to do, sit around like
mummlesT Next thing they'll
hsve the electric eye or the
photo that they use at race
tracks."
If the umpires do get the
quiet treatment from Dykes.
they won't be sure they're in the
right ball park.

Portland The 10S3 Oregon
state Softball tournament will
be conducted August 22-28 at
a site to be selected later, it was
decided at a meeting of the
Oregon State Softball association
at the Multnomah hotel here
Sunday.
MiU City hosted the 1052
tournament, and there is
chance that the 1933 tourney will
go to that city, too.
The regional tournament will
be held at Pendleton this year,
and the national tourney at
Miami, Florida, September 19-
24.
State softball officers elected
yesterday were Ralph Guynes,
president; Frank Doane, vice
president; Spike Franz, director
at large; Jim Dimit of Salem,
secretary-tressurer; and Ken

A young man after purchas
ing a knife with a email com
pass in the handle, stepped out
on the street which he had al
ways thought ran about due
north and south and tested the
new acquisition.
To his amazement the com
pass needle pointed fully 20 de
grees east of the street direction.'
He at once reported to the sales
man that the compass did not
work correctly. The salesman.
somewhat surprised, ventured
the explanation.
"The trouble is the street is
20 degrees off of true north and
south."
Both men were mistaken. The
compass was all right and so
was the street. But true north
is not necessarily determined by
the direction of the compass
needle. This needle indicates
magnetic north, which in the
United States varies from 24 de
grees east of true north in north
western Washington to 23 de
grees west in northeastern
Maine. It indicates true north
only along a line running rough'
ly through Michigan, Indiana,
Kentucky, and South Carolina.

correction can be obtained from
any civil engineer in your community,
Is the North Star, or Polaris,
then the indicator of true north?
Like the compass, it can be so
used if its deviations are prop
erly considered. Only for a mo
ment twice a day is Polaris due
north. It seems dally to trace a
little circle in the sky which at
present is slightly less than one
degree (twice the width of the
full moon) from the point that
is true north during an entire
Z4 hours.
Shakespeare made his Julius
Caesar aay, "I am constant as
the northern star, of whose true
fixed and resting quality there
is not fellow in the firmament." I
But this great poet was no, an 1
unerring astronomer. Polaris
was oft about four degrees from
the "true resting" point in
Shakespeare's time and 15 de
grees off when his Caesar was
supposed to have been speaking
There were several fainter stars
that seemed to be more "resting"

pole of the earth. We cannot
take sightings on this terrestrial
pole, but we can see the place
in the aky toward which the
poie points. This place, the ce
lestial pole. Is the center of the
circle which Polaria and other
stars seem to trace dally, due to
the rotation of the earth on its

From a very dark place direct
an open camera in general to
ward Polaris and leave it for a
few hours. Polaris and other
nearby stars will trace partial
circles around the celestial pole.
A few years ago telescopic
star Polarissima was almost
exactly at the celestial pole, the
true north point. .
