Powers meets lone this eve ning and Lowell and Portland Christian clash. Met Huntington This afternoon Prospect was to meet Huntington and Fos sil to oppose Perrydale in con solation play. Powers just had too much height for the Cougars,' who nevertheless battled gamely. The Cruisers established their lead for keeps in the first quarter on the strength of free tosses. They were helped by fast break points and buckets off long passes on out of bounds play. Powers took ad vantage also of misdirected Prospect passes and Cougar violations. The coast area team went to the dressing room at half time with a 10-point 34 to 24 margin. It looked, as the sec ond half started, as if Pros pect would still make a game of it. With Craig Gardner get ting three baskets, the Cou gars cut the Cruiser edge to 35 to 31. Then Jerry Ross hit twice from the field for Pow ers and Richard Calbo once for 41 to 31. Prospect could not again muster a serious bid. Concentrate On Gardner Calbo led all scoring with 16 markers. Craig Gardner had 15. The Cruisers, having heard of Gardner's prowess, collapsed on him. That left Bob Fitch free and he got 14 points. Powers shot .411 from the field and Prospect .375. Powers had an edge of only 34 to 27 in rebounds but the ability of the Cruis ers to score off theirs paid the dividends.

Managing Mot For DiMaggio St. Petersburg, Fla. - il'Pli - Joe DiMaggio is going to do his best to help the New York Yankees this spring but he's not interested in returning to baseball as a manager. "Thanks, bill no thanks, the 46-ycar-old Hall of Famer quipped Thursday when asked whether he had any ideas about managing a major league team. "How long do managers last? I'm happy with what I'm doing." DiMaggio romped with the Yankees Thursday for the first time since he retired nine years ago. He weighed in at 195 pounds - exactly the same weight as when he played his last game - and displayed the same flawless grace which hlpcd to make him famous. DiMaggio went to the Yan kee camp for a two-week spe cial training period at t h e ence to 17 to 16 but the Cruisers went to 23 to 16 and 35 to 31 was the narrow est gap after that. Third quarter score in the game was 47 to 35. Lowell, beaten only twice now in 24 starts this season, handed Perrydale its first loss in 25 decisions. Al Mc Daniel led the way for the winners with 25. Dick Brown hit 18 for Perrydale. Portland Christian scored its 23rd win of the year. Portland used a tight man-lo-man defense and a 20 point splurge by Gary Brownlee to beat Fossil. Frank Rhea finished with 26 points, 18 in the first half, and John Swanson scored 19 Dimes Ring Card lora recent iHd bv PAL box- ers to Coos Bay.

Tipoff time at both pa- villions is 8 p.m. Both teams have an impor tant stake in the series other than victory in the annual "Civil War" competition. Each has a chance at a berth in the NCAA at-large category for post-season tournament play and each would like nothing better than to have possession of the Chancellor's Trophy. Oregon needs a sweep of the series to boost its season record to 15-11 before it can hold much hope for a repeat berth in the NCAA tourna ment while Oregon State might make it with only a split. Oregon is two up on the Beavers for the season, so needs only a split for the Chancellor's Award. Coach Steve Bclko's crew won the first two games, the first in a rugged overtime bat tle at Corvallis and the second on a hot shooting streak by Charlie Warren which pro duced 19 points in nine min utes, but then went into a six game tailspin which did not end until Washington State was beaten last Satur day night at Pullman. This is the final Oregon State competition for three of the Ducks, guards Denny Strickland, Leon Hayes and Butch Kimpton, and Strick land and Hayes are set to open against the Beavers along with an all-junior front line of Bill Simmons, Warren and Glenn Moore. Kimpton, John Mack, Ro man Jones and Wally Knecht are the most likely to see ac- NOT AT PORTLAND Portland - OJPl) - The North west AAU basketball playoffs won't be held in Portland after all.

It was Mack who came off the bench in the first scries to sink a pair of key baskets at Corvallis and also do an excellent job on defense. Oregon finally broke a long shooting slump against the Cougars, firing a hot .482, and a repetition of that kind of accuracy would be a real boost to Oregon's victory hopes.

There were so many birds around the bird bath that oven the neighbor cat didn't dare trifle with them. He crouched off at the property line, lick ing his greedy face. I believe he's learned what my days off are. Anyway, he's very's discreet on Saturdays and Sundays. We usually have baked po tatoes on Friday nights for dinner. I don't eat mine, so I can get up early Saturday morning and throw il at the cat, if need be. A cold baked potato won't hurt a healthy cat, bill I lets him know he has an enemy. 1 plan someday to stay home on my day al work and fool the cal. II will cost me a day's pay and a potato, but will be worth it. Another sign of a fa'se spring was the barrel. II was a great steel barrel, much too heavy for one man to lift. 11 was painted yellow, with block letters saying Trash. My wife said she had bought it. I told her that once it was filled, with whatever she in tended to fill it with, we'd have to rent a winch and loop a cable over the house to gel it to the sidewalk for the trash man. She said my attitude was un-cooperalive - another sign of a false spring. I noticed that two of the birds had blood-red breasts. They were strangers. 1 tried to find my binoculars for a Prep Basketball ORKCOS II TOUHNKV Thursday's Scores Loweli 74. Perrvdnle 43. Portland Christian 74. Fossil 57. Powers 62.

My wife said I had hocked Ihem after the war and have been imagining everything I've seen from over 50 feet over since. I also was tillable to find the bird guide. 1 accused my wife of giving il to the PTA rummage sale. I've lost some good literature that way. "Maybe 1 did." she said. "How was 1 to know you'd get interested in bird identifica tion again?" You can live with a woman 20 years and she doesn't even know how you feel about birds. Then the cal' decided (o strike, taking the terrible risk of it being my day off. "My potato!" I cried. "Bring me my potato!" One of the boys had eaten il. Anybody who can eat a cold baked polalo is a mad man. I had to run at the cat lo scare him away. This scared the birds away too. For an hour, until they all crept back to renew the eternal struggle, there was nothing to watch but a boy flying a kite. The wind fell, though. The kite fell. Then il rained. The birds flew off. The cat slunk back home. I kepi my vigil at the win dow, feeling gloomy. Every body had made a pretty gotid show of pretending il was spring. But you can't fool nature. Later on, just before dark, the sun came out for a few minutes. Btit nobody came back. I guess the birds had washed their hands of the moody weather. The cat, having a fruitless day in the field, was doubtless home beg ging for a handout.
