Credit to Dili-ks No credit should be token from Capt. Bill Berg and coach Billy Rein hart of the Oregon Ducks for their victory over Washington. Prom the outset, they were out to win, taking an early lead, out In front at the half, IB to IB, and piling up an un beatable lead In the first minutes of tho second period before 3,500 wild eyed Husky fans. But Washington supporters today called it an "upset," pointing out It was only Oregon's third basetbkall victory over Washington In the last eight years, with the Huskies mean while defeating the Ducks 36 times. The Oregoners played a "perfect game" to win last night, they -plained. Beavers In Form At Moscow, Captain Hibbard, OUff Tolen, and Wally palmberg also play ed an unbeatable game against Ida ho. The coast title series at Corvallis will bring back bad memories to the Southern California Trojans, al though they have lost only one southern division game this year, while Oregon state bowed three times in the northern division. Another game also remains to be played at Eugene with Oregon, Saturday night. Two years ago, a strong Trojan team came north.

Then In a bitter decid ing battle, Oregon Btate won out 34 to 19 In a game still remembered at Corvallis. ONE LAST CHANCE SPOKANE, Wash., Feb. 37. (AP) Ted "King Kong" Cox, Lodl.

Perhaps nod would be a better word than bow, for the game was so fast In those last few minutes that one would hardly have time to bow. In a complete reversal of form over the night before, the northern quint missed only three field goal offerings in the first half, to chalk up the most impressive scoring record to be registered In southern Oregon In years. Sent In by Coach Hobson in the first half in an attempt to stem the avalanche, Scott, substitute forward,' almost saved the day by scoring 13 points, high for his team. He swished shots In from all angles and became tlie hero of the evening. 1 Osborne, tiny Monmouth guard,' gave one of the greatest exhibitions i of floor work ever seen In Ashland, and continually broke up the SONS' advances. Ystad, with 14 points, was high man for both teams, and seem ingly unstoppabable on his long shots.) Howell, giant BON a center, was re tired from tho game on personal fouls after having made only one Joint, on a free throw. In striking contract to the 18 markers to his credit the even ing before. The big star was suffer ing from the flu and simply couldn't get started. There were fewer personal fouls called last night than Monday, and ' the game was faster and cleaner, but the desperate rally of the Hobsonltes i In the last few minutes found play ers of both teams on the floor con- i stantly, as both squads fought wildly 1 for possession of the ball. A large crowd, Including many from this city, 1 witnessed the struggle. The game last night was the last In southern Oregon for the Ashland quint before their departure for Den ver to attend the A. A. U. champion ship tournament. There Is still some money necessary tu cover the expenses of tho trip, only 172 having been real ized from the first Monmouth game. According to Coach Hobson, Mcd ford fans have contributed more to ward sending the team to the moun tain city than has Ashiano, with 9335 having been realleed from the gi.;ue played In this city, that between the Union Oilers of Portland and the SONS at the high school gym last week. Klamath Fulls contributed 9300 to the SONS -Olters game In their city, and t e city council of Ashland has subscribed 9300 to the cause. The remaining money will probably be raised by subscriptions, tt was learned. Summary: Monmouth BONS Ystad (14) . F.

Released by the New York Giants recently to become manager of the club he broke In with In 1917, O'Doul finds his first and probably his only problem will be to muster a winning pitching staff. Otherwise the 'team shapes up as fit and ready for the forthcoming flag scramble. Hermann's Loss Hurt. When the Cincinnati Reds drafted Leroy Hermann last fall they took the best pitcher on the club, one difficult to replace. In hopes of fill ing Hermann's shoes, Prosldent Char ley Graham took over the contracts of Floyd Newktrk and Jim Dens more, who come by deal from the New York Yankees. Newklrk Is a three fingered , right-hander. Dens more wns with Hollywood last year.

The glee came with the acquisition by the Boston Braves of the great est drawing card In baseball's history, and no one questions that regardless of his 40 yeajs. the Bambino ta still the greatest turnstile lure of them all. Tne trepidation came with the real ization that now they've got to face him for a large part of 154 games a year instead, of a few new and then in annual post-seaton duels. The Babe may not be good enough to hit with the Yankees in the American league anymore, but to the National leaguers he's shellshocked time and again, he's a hitter and always will be. Bill McKechnle, whom Ruth will assist In the management of the Braves, and Bill Terry, manager of the Giants, were '"Jckled to death" about the whole thing.
