A victory for Oregon State would have made three for them In the four games, but Washington proved Its right to the crown by breaking even In the season's aeries. Washing ton's only two losses this season were at tha hands of the Beavers. It was a wild battle from the start, with both tcoma tenso and over-antous. resulting In rough body checking at times and numerous fouls. Washington led all the way except for the first point, scored on a free throw by MacDonald. rugged O. S. C. guard. Captain Hal Lee put the Hus kies ahead with a long field goal, and sank four more from the center of the floor before the evening was PULLMAN, Wash, Feb. 17.

Shortly after tha opening of the game Coach Jack Prlel revamped his Cougar combination, taking out Bob Houston, center, changing Huntley McPhee from forward to center and sending In Steve McNeil at forward The combination proved effective and ran the count from a to 4. to 22 to 8 at half-tlma with a dazzling pace and During the second half the teams battled on von terms with each scor ing 31 polnU, but the wide gap was too much for the vlsltora to cut down.

The game waa the reverse or last night's tut, won by Oregon ao to nu Willie Jones, center, caged nine points with Ron Gemmell, forward, adding eight to prove Oregon's beat beta. Sixteen points behind aa me aecono half opened, Oregon made a desperate comeback attempt with Robertson, Oemmell and Miller connecting.

Willie Jonea made eight of his polnta in the last 1(1 mlnutea, The Husklea ran the count to 23 12. but Kidder and Taylor collected five quick polnta before the half was over to leave O. S. C. only five behind at the rest period.

Tha prospect high school took two games from tha Ashland Junior high Friday night on the prospect court.

In both games, Ashland held a slight lead throughout tha first half, but failed to check the come-back of tha Prospect lada In the second halt. The Prospect seconds took tha first game by a score of 17 to 15. The Prospect first string took their game 29 to 17. Aahland scored only five polnta In the second half.

The Tiger Cubs lost an exciting game to the St. Mnry's AHStars, 33 to 21 From the opening whistle until the final gun It was anyone'a game. From the standpoint of defense tha Tigers held the edge, but Klamath hit the basket just at the critical moment. Inability of Medford to throw fouls waa costly. In the third quarter the Tigers came from behind a lead of 9 to B. sustained by the -Pellcana and kept shooting at the basket. Thev con nected with two ringers and tied the score. Klamath broke Into tha lead by converting a free throw and the sinking of the ball In tha hoop for two polnta more. With two minutes left In the game. Cant.

In addition, he fired two sparring partnera, Harold Mavs and Arthur Huttlck. both of whom made the trip to Italy with the chamDlon last aummer to prepare him for hla successful title defense against Paulino Uzcudun In Rome. From the manner In which a lignt heavvwelght named George Maniey, from Denver, has been slapping Car nera's nose at will, with left Jabs, it anneara that the training routine from now on will call for more men of the Loughran type, smart boxera, and fast. Neither Huttlck nor Maya answers that description. In the meantime Loughran la training easily at Palm Beach amid scenes of creat peace and content- I ment.

During tha long baseball trail, ea- peclally aa the yeara crept upon him and aging lege creaked under him, Faber retired under fire, Dut tne times were proportionately few In the 669 major league games In which he pitched and he always came back for mora, usually to rise to the heights again. Thla time, .however, there will be no more. If he haa any plana for the future he failed to disclose them. He had hoped for a coaching Job when his pitching chores-were finished, but so far there apparently la none for .him. Like Eppa Rlxey. another old timer whose retirement after 21 1 yeara or major league wanare pre ceded Faber's by Just a day, he said the dally grind had "gotten too tough" for him. In the 20 yeara 8pent with the Whits Sox, Faber won 252 games and lost 210. He pitched in one world serlea. 1917, almost single handedly winning the world'a championship for toe White Sox that year by beat ing tha New York Olants three tlmea in nine dava.
