Washington U.R) Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.)
asked Naval Academy offic
ials Saturday about the chanc
es of scheduling a Navy foot
ball game with the University
of Oregon at Portland in 1959
or 1960.
He said he had acted on be
half of Oregon officials and
that the University athletic
director, Leo A. Harris, was
"extremely interested" in a
game with Navy.
"As far as I can recall, the
Naval academy team has nev
er played in the Northwest,"
Neuberger wrote the Academy
officials.
"I am sure you are famil
iar with the caliber of foot
ball played by the University
of Oregon, the high prestige
the university has in the na
tion's football circles."

league lead deadlock it held
briefly last week end.
The Eagles, their fast break
working the best it has this' sea
son, squelched the Crater Com
ets '50 to 44. Phoenix, also in
top form, contributed to its own
cause with a 62 to 53 verdict
over cellarite Illinois Valley.
The Pirates and Crater were
knotted in front position after
the Friday actions.
Winning its third straight
loop conflict, after four succes
sive losses, Eagle Point had a
fairly tight battle with Crater
for three quarters. At the start
of the fourth panel the Eagles
got four consecutive goals to
make a bulge that the Comets
could not close. Phoenix, taking
advantage of free shots, was
never behind.

The Pirates, starting out with
a pair of gifters by Bill Madden,
worked to a 19 to 11 first quar

midway in the game. They made
16 out of 19 free shot tries in
the first half. Third quarter
score was 49 to 33. The tussle
saw the Pirates driving in for
