Peb. 21 (AP) With their eyes on a new Pacific coast basketball consecutive victory record, the undefeated Washington Huskies aimed for a sweep of a two game series with Idaho here starting tonight. The Huskies to date have won 10 straight. Should they win tonight they will tie their own record of 11 straight, made In 1932. A victory also on Saturday night will move the record to 12 games. The 1032 record was established after the Huskies lost four of their first five games. Then they went on to win the championship. Idaho gave Washington many try ing moments In their recent Seattle series and playing on the home floor should give the vandals added im petus this week-end. They lost fhelr first game to Washington only after bitter first half struggle, ana although losing the second, forced Washington to use 1U "Iron man" first string five for the distance. The only -other northern division contest this week-end finds Oregon and Oregon State clashing at Eugene Saturday night. Team standings: Northern Division. Opp. W. L. PO.

The game Is called for 8:30 o'clock, with an Interesting preliminary be tween the Blue Raiders and the CCC headquarters detachment five, to start an hour earlier. Roseburg Is said to possess a slight but tall aggregation this year, with sharp-shooters In every position. The Tigers thumped them 33-0 In foot ball last year, and the Indians will be primed for revenge. The outcome will have no bearing on the southern Oregon league race, but Is expected to serve as a yardstick of the com parative strength of the two districts. The double bill Is the first of Its kind presented this yoar, and high school authorities are anticipating a good turn-out. - FROSH AND ROOKS IN FINAL TILT SATURDAY CORVALLIS, Ore..

The speaker was Mrs. Floretta D. Mc- Cu ten eon of Pueblo, Colo., the great est of women bowlers and the teacher of thousands of women every year, She bad Just watched five sightless young men. of ages averaging 32, bowl at a match against a team of full sighted opponents In the annual sports tournament of the New York guild for the Jewish Blind. Led by Christian Wurla of Olendale, Long Islana, who scored 143, the blind boys mads shots which had the big gallery behind them cheering as a college football crowd yells for a varsity eleven. Guided By Rail With the aid of an Iron railing at the left of the approach to the foul line on the alley, Captain Herbert Holmes and his team Christian Wurla, Dominic DeJohn, Joseph Ma lor and Louis Brlller advanced with a rapid run-up to delivery. The rail ing gave them their sense of direction. On the first ball of each frame they rolled for strikes, and they succeeded In getting strikes on an amazing number of occasions. As the 16-pound ball crashed through the pins, they listened with keen preceptlon which Is theirs. In variably, If a strike resulted, they could tell by the sound. Often they could tell how many pins remained. From his perch behind the pins, the pin-boy called the numbers- of ,ihe pins remaining. With that as a guide, they shifted their direction on the second ball to "pick up the spare," as the bowlers say. As Captain Holmes stepped to the foul-line for his second ball In one frame, the pin-boy called, "Number 101" That meant the one at the ex treme right of the alley remained standing. Holmes, shifting direction ever, so slightly, took his stance, de livered the ball and hit the 10-pln cleanly with the Impact that Is evi-: dence of a well rolled ball. On an-! other occasion, the spectators gasped as they saw Louis Brlller negotiate the difficult "5-6 split." j "Spot Bowling's Best' j "Without coaching, and despite the great handicap they face, these boys have picked up the fundamentals of . bowling in a remarkable way," said Mrs. McCutcheon, who Is the nation's acknowledged leading woman bowler, with ten perfect games of 300 to her credit. "In one way. they excel most sighted bowlers. One of the dlfflcul- j ties I have tn teaching bowling Is to ' convince the average person to be a 'spot bowler' rather than a "pin bowl- j er.' In other words, the way to bowl is to learn how to put your ball on i the same spot on the alley time after I time and a, pay no attention to the pins as the release Is made. The prin ciple la the same as that of a golfer who Is told to 'keep his head down,' rather than looking up at his object ive. "These sightless boys are 'spot bowlers to the ultimate degree be cause they cannot see the pins. They must learn through experimenting the proper spot at which to release the ball. They have accomplished this with amazing success. Their delivery, even with the necessity of grasping the Iron railing at the left as they approach the line, la well-nlght per fect. They should be a real inspira tion to . those of us who worry about minor troubles from day to day. They are real champions."

In prac tice sessions this week Faber has had Parker Hess and Billy Hoxle, ex-Ashland stars, working out against his men, using Medford plays. Across the chest of Hess Is a banner bearing the terse description "Lewis" while Hoxle 's bosom Is emblazoned with the placard "VanDyke." The publicity Is flattering, but unless Lewis and VanDyke are both off their usual form, will do little harm. Lewis and Van Dyke have about divided honors In the scoring for the locals this year, with Lewli hot for one game and VanDyke going on a scoring spree the next. The ex planation Isn't Just that the two stars hare on and otr nights with regularity, but If you'll notice, they feed to each other 'beautifully. If Sam Is on, then Lewis con fines most of his efforts to potting the ball to him. and vice-versa, with the result that the combina tion Is almost unstoppable. Since early In the season Coach Bower man of Medford has drilled his charges on new formations to be displayed only against Ashland, and these will be unvelledfconlght. Sev eral of them are going to be sur prising. On Saturday night the fans will have a double bill for their money, when the Blue Raiders and the De tachment CCC team tangle to settle an old dispute. Several weeks ago they played their first game, the final gun ending It In a draw. They played an over-time period, and the score was still knotted. Another overtime period saw the same thing, so they finally called the thing off, to be settled later. With that game aa the prelimi nary and the Medford -Roseburg fray as the entree, basketball fans are promised lots of action. Another feud that Is becom ing famous Is the one between the Girls' Community club of Medford and the Sams Valley ladles team. They have met three times, with the Soms Valley damsels now leading by a 3-1 count. In the three encounters, there hasn't been much differ ence either In scoring or play ing ability. Now the only thing the two squnds think about Is playing, and heating, each other. Some time ago we observed that the first fighter ever to contend for the world's boxing crown from this country was Tom Molineaux, Negro, who fought Tom Crlbb in England and lost the fight and the chance for the title 'when he stumbled a&alnst the ring post and broke his skull, back in the 80's. Now it develops that John Henry Lewis, the colored scrapper of the present day. la a great, great grand son of Molineaux. Lewis has been digging around in the archives of ring history and his own family geneology. snd announced the fact a short time ago. 1 Be correctly corseted in an Artist Model by Btheiwvn B Hoffmann Whiskey Is not always a luxury.
