High Cindermen COUGARS CAPTUREIPILUSO, PRINCE I GR0WN BY 1 POINT Orr Gets 15 Points for High Honors Oregon Places Third; Beavers Fourth. By Gall Fowler Seattle. May 18. UP) Lee Orr, Canadian Olympic games sprinter In 1938, collected three firsts and IS points as Washing ton State college won Its eighth consecutive northern division track meet today but an unsung plate pitcher named Earl Stone emerged as the real hero. The Cougars won the meet with 43Vi points to 44V4 for the University of Washington, and It wasn't until the discus result was announced at the con clusion of the mile relay that it was learned the single point Stone earned by placing fourth in the discus was the vital one that gave the Cougars from W. S. C. the championship. Other team scores: Third, Oregon, 31 points; fourth, Idaho and Oregon State college with 18 apiece, and sixth, Montana, 5 points. One Racord Broken Orr, a hard-running 183 pounder, traveled to victory in the 440, the 220 yard dash and the ' 220-yard low hurdles dur ing the warm sunny afternoon. It remained for a dark-haired Vandal from Idaho to break the only record of the day. Phil Lle- bowltz of Idaho at the same time turned In an upset by out- legging Washington State s Dixie Garner by 20 yards to take the mile run in 4:12.2 in the meet's opening event. The old northern division was set at 4:18.4 by Garner last year. Oregon grabbed firsts In the pole vault and Javelin. Rod Han sen did 13 feet in the vault, while Boyd Brown, the thumb less pavelln f linger, sent the spear 223 feet, 6 inches, or sev en and a half Inches under his own northern division mark. Woodcock Leaps High Oregon State's Ed Woodcock placed first In the high Jump with a six feet, three Inch leap, and second In the Javelin.

The pair will collide In the one-hour main event. One of the finest exhibitions of legitimate mat work yet seen here Is expected to develop when Piiuso, former Multnomah club amateur star, pits his thun dering sonnenbergs and all around cleverness against the potent camel lock and admit tedly superior strength of Me halikis. Both men know all the answers; both are absolutely clean and both very much de sire to win. The program will not be 100 per cent scientific, however, for Bulldog Jackson and Al Ferona are slated to do their foul stuff. Jackson will go against the Black Panther, clever Negro, in the six-round, middle event, and Ferona will tackle Indian Frankie Clemens In the six round opener. Jackson's hammerlock, one of the best in the business, may prove too effective a weapon for the Panther to cope with, although the colored boy from Birmingham has a pretty fair headlock with which to combat the Jackson bone-breaker. Ferona expects to render Clemens' Indian paralyzer im potent by simply roughing the redskin Into a state of sub mission. However, few grap piers have been able to escape the paralyzer and Clemens trusts th?.t he will be able to whip It on the Italian roughie.
