and Saturday Nights,

ketball team stood at the top
of the northern division of the
Pacific Coast conference today
at the beginning of the second
weeks of the regular season
Washington attained that emi
nence by virtue of two straight
victories over Idaho Friday and
Saturday, while Washington
State and Oregon were splitting
a pair at Eugene.
The season turns from warm
to hot this week as Washington

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. Idaho, admit
tedly the weakest team In the
northern circuit, gave the Hus
kies bad scare Friday and lost
the game by a 38 to 28 score
only after its top scorer, lanky
Ray Turner, left the contest on
personal fouls.
. The same thing happened in
slightly slower tempo Saturday.
Although Idaho never was in
the lead after the first five
minutes, the visitors were mak
ing a battle of it until Ted
Thompson, who had five field
goals to his credit, was waved
to the showers on personals
With Thompson out of the game.
Idaho sagged to lose by a 40
to S3 decision.
At Eugene, Oregon staged a
brilliant comeback in the last
IS minutes of play to win Sat
urday night, 48 to 38. Washing
ton State had taken the Friday
decision, 61-49.

the game, lost out In the final
three minutes to end a nine-
game winning streak.
The Astoriana face another
severe test Tuesday, Journeying
to play Westport, state class B
champions, who are always
tough at home.
Last week's censored weather

games, and allowed Milwaukle
to take a commanding position
in the No Name league. The
Maroons nosed out Oregon City.
31-29, and Abany, 34-33, in the
only loop games of the week.

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.
BEAVERS TO GET
BABE RUTH RECOVERING
RAPIDLY IN HOSPITAL
New York, Jan. 12 (IP)
Babe Ruth spent the weekend in
the hospital although earlier
plans were to release the former
Yankee home run hitter last
Friday.
His wife, however, says the
Babe is "getting along nicely."
He was taken to the hospital
Jan. 2 for treatment of a nerv
ous condition resulting largely
from an auto accident in which
he escaped injury.
