The season turns from warm to hot this week as Washington State takes on Oregon State in two games at Corvallis Monday and Tuesday and then goes home to fight out Its back-lot crap with Idaho in a single game Saturday. Washington and Oregon tangle in a two-game series at Seattle Friday and Saturday. Last week's games, beyond extending Washington's unbrok en winning streak to 10 games including pre-season frays proved very little about where the pennant will wave come the middle of March.

STROKE LEAD IN OPEN TOURNEY By Robert Myers Los Angeles, Jan. 12 (IP) It was Harry Cooper against the field today in the final round of the $10,000 Los Angeles open and the last crack at the biggest purse on California's winter tournament trail. The veteran of 39 went Into the finale with a two stroke lead over his brother pros, who were inclined to believe that he wouldn't have it when the cur tain came down tonight. Billed out of Minneapolis, Cooper had rounds of 69-71-70 210 for the par 72 of Hillcrest country club's tree lined, well trapped course. He bolstered his position yesterday after starting out on even terms with the tour nament favorite, Benny Hogan, America's top money winning pro and low scorer in 1941. Hogan shot a creditable 72 to go with his previous 70-70 for a 54 hole score of 212. Cooper's fellow professionals were definitely not pulling against him. But off the record, as far as their names were con cerned, they feared the pressure and last round Jitters would get him. The pressure undoubtedly was on "Lighthorse Harry" but ha captured this tournament in 1926 and repeated his triumph in 1937. He might hang on to the finish.
