Schelderelter, FOR SEASON, 187 Huskies Win, 25 to 19, in Slow Game Beavers Hot On Free Throws. SEATTLE, March 7. (AP) The University of Washington Huskies put a double cinch around the cham pionship of the northern division of the Pacific Coast conference hereto night by taking their second straight game of the series, 25 to 19, from the Oregon State College basketball team. At half time the score was: Wash ington 13; Oregon State 11. The game tonight lacked the fire and brilliance of the one tn which the Huskies snatched the title from the threatening Oregon State Beavers last night. Slightly leas than 6,000 persona saw tonight's after-climax, while 10,000 witnessed the champion ship battle. Let down from the strain of the title play, both teams played raggedly In spots and none of the shooting aces found the cage with the regu larity of the first struggle. Wally Palm berg, Beaver forward, waa off form, but got seven points making hla northern division scoring record for the season 167, a mark 11 better than the record of 17fl Bobby Oaler of Washington established two years ago. Washington held Oregon State to five field goals, although the Beavers were hot enough on free throws, scoring 18 out of 17. Taking a 9 to 9 lead at the start of the game, the Huskies held the edge sll the way, never by a wider margin. Five Beaver free throws rattled thru the hoop, cutting down the lead.

CARNERA WIN O'ER ON HOLLY FIELD The crack of bats ushers in the first practice session for the Medford Rguea baseball team at 10:30 today, when aspirant for the squad line up at the senior high school ath letic field on South Holly street for a preliminary warm-up. According to Ous Arnle, who 1 temporarily managing the club, pros pect are for a better and faster club than was put in the field last year. Last week the Weed base ball club Inquired regarding the possibility of forming an lnter-state league with Klamath Falls, Grants Pass, Medford. Yreka, Weed and Dunsraulr, and the feasabiltty of this arrangement will be discussed today. Orants Pass will also have her share of preliminary baseball warm ing up when the Merchants take their Initial work-out thla morning. Thursday night of last week the Merchants held a meeting at which Andrew McCarthy waa named their head for 1936. Kenneth Williams, former big leaguer now living In the Climate City, will again manage the players, and It was voted that the whole association would bend Its efforts toward promoting a high school nine. No word has been officially re ceived from Ashland regarding the formation of a team there this year, but It waa understood from various Ashland baseball enthusiasts that the Lit hla City would probably not enter a team thla year. It la ex pected that Poke Nlnlnger, presi dent of the Southern Oregon Base ball league will call a meeting of league managers and heads In the near future. A controversy Is raging In the local camp as to where the game Is to be played in this city this year. The fairgrounds, where baseball haa been played for several years, presents a poor Infield and a poorer outfield, although the seating arrangements are good. The high school field, with a but little better Infield, but a much better outfield, may be treated with clay and games held there. No definite decisions will be made until later in the week, It was said. Spring Prill At Paaa ORANTS PASS. Ore., March 7.
