Oregon Snorts Notes By FRED HAMPSON Associated Press Staff Writer Full many a gem of purest ray serene, the deep unfathom ed caves of ocean bear, wrote Mr. Grey in his elegy, and to prove the words timeless there is the case of Ad Liska and the Portland Beavers. Oscar Vitt, the new Portland manager, echoed these senti ments the other day when he declared the little submarine pitcher "a major leaguer, and nothing else but ... I will give my personal attention to seeing that he gets back up where he belongs next year. Win in the majors? I should say he will la either league. He not only has an entirely different deliv ery from anything they see nor mally, but fine control, plenty on the ball, he can field his po sition and is smart out there." Liska ranks with such frus trated baseball figures as Chuck Klein, a peer of hitters who was hopelessly bogged with a tail end Philly club, and Walter Johnson, who pitched 13 years of classic baseball for a Wash ington team that couldn't fight its: way out of a light fog.

NEWQUIST STILL THERE The sports writers, after re covering from the first shock of the latest Athertonizing, came to the view that the University of Oregon was pretty lucky. The Webfoots didn't lose Jim my Newquist, the Camas thun derbolt who has been rated along the Columbia river as the hottest prepper since Grayson. His collegiate preview as a froth last fall did not lessen his reputation. Rumor has persisted that Newquist was likely to be lost by an Atherton decree. But he survived the first whack and the word now is that he's been approved for lemon-yellow trap pings. Northern Division Race Tightens By The Associated Press The northern division, Pacific coast conference baseball title race developed into a three-way tussle yesterday when Washing. ton downed the leading Oregon team, 6 to 3, at Seattle to come within a half-game of first place.
