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. By
half-time, Oregon State cut . the
Huskies' edge to two points.

rors for Dude Chick, big and ver
satile wrestling ex-rodeo star, and

laea of Ken HolUs, Arkansaa muscle
mangier, have not yet served to

Chick to a quavering mass when the
two meet on Monday night's main
event wrestling show at the Armory,
The match Is hailed as a genuine
grudge battle. Chick heaved Hollis

months ago with his whirling lariat
spin, but In a return bout here,
allowed Hollis time to recover and
Hoi lis won the match.
Such sentimentality will not again
afflict Chick, he promised yesterday.

Holl Is In his spin, he will keep the
Little Rock rowdy there. "We're
going to play electric fan, with Hol

Battle With 48 Fouls
Called Teams Even for
Season.
PULLMAN, Wash.. March 7 (AP)
Oregon spurted In the second half
tonight for a 80 to 48 basketball vic
tory over Washington State College
In a wild finish to the coast confer
ence season for both teams.
Twenty-six fouls were called on
Washington State and 22 on Oregon,
to oust three players of each team
on personals. Waahlngton State held
a 15-14 edge on field goals, but 22
free throw conversions gave the Web
feet the winning margin.
The first half waa a nlp-and-tuck
battle, with the score tied four times
and the lead changing hands twice.
Oregon took a alx-polnt lead shortly
before half-time, but the Cougars
rallied to tie the count at the gun.
Oregon went on a scoring rampage
to open the second half, ringing In
four field goals before Waahlngton
State scored. Chuck Patterson, negro
guard and center, was the atar of the
Oregon offense after going In as a
substitute. He scored 13 points In
the second half for a game total of
14 and high honors.
Oregon atretched the lead to 50-35
four minutes before the end. The last
four polnta came on successive free
throws by Purdy, who toased two In

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.
