By the. Associated Press)
It's the Beavers of Oregon State,
college vs. the Trojans of Southern
California again for the Pacific bas
ketball title, after a two-year lapse.
The Oregon Webfeet performed the
neighborly deed of trouncing Wash
ington In Seattle last night. 35 to 30.
The Beavers eased Into the northern
division title berth, last held tw,
years ago, by defeating Idaho at
Moscow, 35 to 27.
The standings this morning:
To
Won Lost Play
Oregon State 13 3 1
Washington - 11 fi 0
Consequently the Oregon State col
lege campus at Corvallis was a Joyous
place today, with Impromptu rallies
till going on and a hilarious welcome
planned for Capt, George Hibbard
and has mates on tehlr return from
the Idaho country.
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. Surprised they
dropped the first game, 31 to 30, but
came back to win the second, 37 to
38, handily. Then In a bitter decid
ing battle, Oregon Btate won out 34
to 19 In a game still remembered
at Corvallis.

.MONMOUTH QUINTi
WINS, 44-41, FROM
L
Sons Stage Unavailing Rally
Howell Unable to" Get
Going, Is Sent Out on
Fouls Scott Shines
Fighting desperately In the last few
minutes to overcome & 40-37 advan
tage held by Monmouth, the Ashland
Normal basketball five last night
failed by only three polnU of tlelng
the score, and bowed In defeat to
the deadly accuracy of the Wolf
sharpshooters, 44-41. 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.

First Problem of New Man
ager in Developing Win

Rest of Team in Shape
By RI SSEL J. NEWLAND
Associated Press Snorts Writer
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27. (AP)
San Francisco's Seals hope to come
out of a baseball slump this season
under the guiding genius of one ol
the , most popular players ever de
veloped In this city Frank "Lefty"
O'Doul.
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.
Bert Cole, veteran left hander," and
Hal Stitzel, who twirled for Lob
Angeles a few seasons ago, were
slcned as free agents.
Tills quartet wtll join holdovers
Sam Gibson, Jimmy Zlnn, Wyn Bal

O'Doul believes the seals will be a
strong contending club.
Catching would show Improvement
with first stringer Larry Woodall re- I
celvlng able assistance from Joe
Becker, outcast from the St. Louis
Cardinals' chain store system.
Increased performance is looked
for from Vincent Monza, recruit last

O'Doul to Play.
O'Doul Intends to stay in harness.
In the outfield he win have with
him Joe Dl MaRRio, sold to the
Yankees for future delivery: and
el ther Joe Marty or Ted Norbert.
the latter a big right hander down
from the Yankees. Ellas Funk, fly

much Improvement to the Infield.

scattered about Florida welcomed
into their circle today the one and
only Babe Ruth, tne portly gentle
man who has had hem tearing out
their hair and groaning aloud at
various world aeries times In his 30
years as an American leaguer.
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"
