Bruins Win
Southern
Hoop Crown
San Francisco, Feb. 27 (U.R)
The UCLA Bruins, fresh from
a pair of northern California tri
umphs over the week-end, held
the southern division crown of
the Pacific Coast conference bas
ketball race for the second year
In a row today.
The exultant Bruins went
home yesterday after defeating
California, 46 to 44, Friday
night, and edging Mnndford 62
to 57 Saturday. At the same
time, their northern opponents
helped out their cause by beat
ing their closest rivals, the USC
Trojans.
Trojans Lose Two
The Trojans lost to Stanford,
60 to 57, Friday, and to Cali
fornia, 60 to 58. the next night.
The next southern division
games for UCLA will be this
week-end's "civil war" series
with USC, but they will not
change the Bruins' three-game
bulge in the standings. It is the
second championship in a row
for Bruin Coach John W. Oden,
who came to Westwood in 1948.
Neari Scoring Title
The series between UCLA and
USC will tell whether (JSC's for
ward, Bill Sharman, will be able
to break the PCL scoring record
of 232 points set 10 years ago by
Stanford's Hank Luisetti. Shar
man has looped in 204 points to
date and needs only 29 points to
go. So far. he has averaged bet
ter than 20 points a game this
season.
A "civil war" series in north
ern California will see Stanford
trying to climb out of the divi
sion cellar. California holds a
one-game lead over the Indians,
but the Bears conceivably could
relinquish it this week-end.

Badgers full of fire. There will
be a 6:45 p.m. opener between

Medford lost a hard one 37
to 34 to conference champion
Grants Pass Saturday. The Black

crimp into the two-platoon plans

Jack Kramer Burns
Over Transfer From
-Red Sox to Giants
New York, Feb. 27 ;U.PJ
Pitcher Jack Kramer, burning
over his transfer from the Red
Sox to the Giants, fired a blister
ing broadside at ex-Manager Joe
McCarthy today, who he claimed
prevented him from going to the
champion Yankees.
"That McCarthy is the most
ornery man I know," fumed the
handsome 32-year-old right-hander
over the telephone from his
New Orleans home. "I know for
a fact that Yankees offered sev
eral players for me a few. weeks
ago but McCarthy said nothing
doing.
Personal Grudge
"Ht railroaded me out of the
American league only because
he had a personal grudge against
me. McCarthy's just plain vindi
cative. When you re winning,
he's' all for. you; when you're
not going so well, he avoids you
like you got a disease.
"He knew I had a sore arm
last year but he didn't care. He
conveniently forgot all about the
18 games I won for him in 1948."
Kramer, who had a lackluster
six-and-eight record with the
Red Sox last year, was waived
out of the American league yes
terday and sold to the Giants
for a reported S25.000. The deal,
"in the works" for some time,
paralleled the 1945 "gentlemen's
agreement" of American league
owners, who allowed Pitcher
Hank Borowy to be waived from
the Yankees to the Cubs.

hurler paused a second and
sighed,
