Coach Plans
'Leave' Soon
Portland, Ore., Feb. 15 U.R
Harry C. Wright, athletic direc
tor and football coach at Port
land university, said today he
would leave the school "in two
or three weeks, or as soon as I
can clear up my office as ath
letic director."
At the same time, Wright said
his staff was trying to "do its
best" for the boys wanting to
transfer In order to play inter
collegiate football.
Last week the university an
nounced suspension of intercol
legiate football because of its
high cost at a time when the
school was expanding its de
partments. Sought As Coach
Wright said two people, "both
big men in the football profes
sion" were applying for him for
two head coaching jobs, one on
the east coast and the other one
on the west coast.
While the coach said he held
no bitterness towards the univer
sity, he said "we could have
fielded a first class team by the
1951 season capable of compet
ing with such PCC giants, as
California."
"My parting with Portland,"
he added, "will bo on a friendly
basis with a cash settlement of
what's left of the three-year con
tract." Last season was Wright's
first year with the university.

Tag Fracas
On Thursday
Wrestling fans were anxious
ly awaiting Thursday night's tag
team fracas at the armory. It is
n't just an ordinary tag teamer
for it pits the Great Atlas on one
side and his arch enemy, Georges
Ousctte, on the other.
Dusette has been trying for
several months to corner the self
styled Peacock of the Ring In
the North Bartlett street battle
pit but has been unsuccessful.
The popular strong man said he
would take the tag team mix as
an alternative but emphasized
that he doesn't expect the cocky
New Yorker to spend much time
inside the ropes when that space
is occupied by Mr. Dusette.
Both are full nelson experts
and Dusette often has resented
the manner in which the Atlas
has used the hold to subdue foes.
"I'd like to see if he can do it to
me." Dusette said.
Advance ticket sales indicate
a full-up crowd will be on hand
to see the brawl. The Atlas will
be aided In his unethical grap
plingways by a past master at
that style Jack Lipscomb. Karl
Gray, who also has a personal
score to settle with the great
on, has been teamed with Du
sette. Newcomer Ame Skaaland will
display his wares for the first
time in a southern Oregon ring
when he hooks up with good
looking Pierre LaBelle in a one
hour skirmish going to the mat
at 8:30 p.m.
Graders Vie
On Thursday
Roosevelt, which has already
clinched the local grade school
varsity basketball league cham
pionship by winning four games
and losing none, will play Jack
son on the Jackson floor Thurs
day at 4:15 p.m. and Washing
ton will travel to Lincoln school.
The Roughriders captured the
grade school title last Thursday
by defeating the strong Lincoln
quintet.
Each of the four local grade
school plays eacli other twice
and therefore play six games a
season. Therefore a team that
has won four games without a
loss as Roosevelt has done can
lose the rest of Its games and
still emerge champion.
Roosevelt already has defeated
Washington twice, Lincoln twice
and Jackson once. A win for the
Teddies Thursday over Jackson
will give them an undefeated
season.
