Stanford's giants put up a
puncture-proof defense tonight
to master Colorado's high scor
ing mountain boys, 46 to 35, and
win the western N. C. A. A. bas
ketball championship before 0,
000 spectators.
Denver, March 21.
Towering Bob Cruenlg. most
dangerous scorer In A.A.U. bas
ketball, powered the Denver
American Legion team to the
national championship tonight
by routing Phillips 60 Oilers of
Oklahoma. 45 to 32.
Legion has been tha "hot"
team of the 35th national tour
nament, but few expected their
hot shooting streak would carry
them to such an explosive tri
umph over the powerful Oilers
from Bartlesville.
Denver won because It had
such - a marvelous scorer as
Gruenig, the grasshopper-like
veteran center from Chicago,
and a defensive player of such
talents as Jack McCracken,
poker-faced guard for Oklahoma
who tonight completed play In
his 13th national tournament.
Gruenig was unstoppable,
pouring eight field goals through
the netting, chiefly with his un
canny hook shot, and tacking on
four tree throws for a great
night's work of 20 points. At
the same time the best the op
posing center, John Frelberger
from Arkansas, could do was
two lonesome baskets.

Many Problems Confront
Frosh Status Among

By Call Fowler
Portland, Ore., March 21
(AP) What's to be done about
Atherton?
Perhaps nobody wants to
know the answer to that ques
tion more than Edwin Atherton,
Pacific coast conference athletic
commissioner, and Atherton said
today he Intended to pop the
question at the conference facul
ty meeting opening Sunday,
The faculty representatives of
the 10 schools, comprising In ef
fect a supreme court on athletic
policy, will have to wrestle with
co-related problems while figur
ing out an answer for Atherton.
For Instance, if schedules are
curtailed or cancelled, and
should it be decided not to con
tinue football if the army's ban
on crowds of more than 5,000 Is
not relaxed, the conference na
bobs will have to decide whether
to continue the annual 320,000
appropriation for Atherton and
his office.
Atherton receives 510,000 a
year, and an additional 510,000
to operate his office. His present
contract terminates Dec. 31
1942.
"I'm going to ask the faculty
representatives to clarify my po
sition and its future," Atherton
said. "I'm not worried about
this year particularly, but I cer
tainly would like to know what
the future holds, so I can plan
accordingly.
Atherton will be sitting In
with the faculty representatives,
meeting In one group, and look
ing In on the graduate managers
and athletic directors, meeting
in another group, starting to
morrow afternoon.
Among matters to be discus
sed, and possibly settled. Inas
much as this meeting is supposed
to button up the unfinished bus
Iness of last December's meeting

otherwise would have been put

2. Whether to split the con
