March 13 "Just what the doctor ordered" is providing University of Pitts burgh basketball devotees with as riotous a farce os ever con cocted by Kaufman and Hort or the brothers Msrx. Broadway has missed the sea son's best bet In tho bizarre extravagonra perpetrated and produced by Dr. Harold C. (Red) Carlson, Panther coach. Tho volatile red-head, who has tutored Pitt dribblers for 20 years, has a flair for the out lnndish. His Panthers have had a dismal season, but Doc, with the showmanship of Billy Hose, has supplemented amusement for victories. His pet peeve Is "that guy with tho whistle." Doc wishes all officials would swallow their horns and let the boys play the game. His repugnance for offi cialdom has led to a number of refreshing fiascos. PANTHERS LOOK ANEMIC AGAINST CARNEGIE TECH While his players sweated and prestlg ebullders shed tears, Doc took blood. Before the Carnegie Tech game he lifted 25 c.c. s from each player, 28 moro at halftlme and 25 after the game, a total of almost one-fifth of a pint. The boys were very cooper- otlve as Doc checked blood count, limits and henrts. Con- Aspen mountain or some suit able nearby spot for skiing.

Pitt looked decidedly anemic against the Skibos. The Techs won their first game In two years, 48-4-1. Doc had a field day. He walk ed off the floor mid-way in the first half and chatted amiably with some kibitzers In the rear of the gymnasium. Trainer How- a&F- I Dutchman SAN FRANCISCO, March 13 (IP) Olympic club officials clear ed a 140-foot runway for Cor nelius Warmerdam today 8nd hoped the pole vaulting ace might soar to 18 feet In tonight's indoor track and field meet, Warmerdam cleared IS feet, 7 Inches In the cast recently with a borrowed pole. To keep the 20-year-old Pled mont athlete company on his Jumping jaunt, Lea Steers may try his own patented roll on a seven-feet high leap. Steers' en try, however, was not too sure. Both Warmerdam and Steers, former University of Oregon star who now works In a Port- lond shipyard, are members of an all-Amerlcan track contin gent which competes In the Olympic club indoor track and field meet. The track also will feel the spikes of headline contestants such as Southern California's Hubert Kerns, natlonol collegiate 410-yard champion at 46.6 sec onds, und Harold Davis, of the University of California at Ber keley, the current fastest human, and Jim Jurkovlch, the Golden Bear football casualty who may push Davis along. OILERS GO TO AAU PORTLAND, March 13 UP) Signol Oil company's runner-up bojkctball team In the Oregon AAU tourney left this morning for the national tournament at Denver. The champion Bradford team left yesterday. ard Waile, stymied by a priority on corpuscles, ran the team. The Pitts were weakened by this bit of guinea pigging, but Doc's only comment was, "Tech played a nice game, and the officiating was terrible," which is par for the course. "YOO HOO," CALLS DOC IN HIS BANDANA The West Virginia game was a Carlson blitz. Both officials re fused to be made fool of, which was a naive premise, Indeed. 1 In tho frist half, they called no less than three technical fouls against the noble doctor, claim ing he had been a bit bourgeois In his remonstrations. 2 Incensed, Red marched up to Referee Harold Allison, tossed an assortment of sweat suits and a water bucket at him, pointedly remarking that the gentleman had taken everything else away from the Panthers, why not make It a grand slam? 3 01' Doc then spent the rest of the game in company with a couple of Pitt coeds, grabbed one gal's bandana, draped It around his noggin, stuck out his jaw and yoo-hooed at the officials. CONSOLES INCENSED INDIANA COLLEAGUE Wherf Indiana Coach Branch McCracken stomped along the sidelines raging at officials at Pitt Pavilion, Carlson rushed off the Pitt bench and in mock gesture put his around Mc cracken's shoulder, half-carried him back to the Hoosier bench. The crowd roared at the sight of a confirmed official hater soothing the wrath of a visiting coach. Even McCracken forgot his peeve and laughed. Carlson spent the remainder of the half on the Indiana bench, oblivious to the proceedings, urging Mc Cracken to help him "think up all the names we can to call those busm." The doctor is as Ingenious as he is unique. Once he plagued officials by operating his own whistle from the bench, causing a brand of confusion never seen bfore or since. On another occasion, he or dered hit team to show its dis dain for zone defense by sitting on the floor. This, too, caused major repercussions. Pitt supporters deny the valid ity of tho most widely quoted story about the Doc. It has been alleged that sev eral years ago when the timer's gun fired to signal the end of the half, some prankster in the stands dropped a dead duck on Carlson's neck. They're probably saving that for next season. When in Medford Stay at HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern -Joe and Anne Earloy -. Proprietor v...

PAGE Stanford Favored OverOSC Indians, Beavers Clash Tonight in First Playoff PALO ALTO. Calif., March 13 UP) Beaten only once in 12 league games, Stanford's long legged basketball players are strong favorites to capture the Pacific Coast conference champ ionship from the Oregon State Beavers in a three-game aeries opening here tonight Their superb record, their dis tinct height advantage and the home court all give the edge to Coach Everett Dean's Indians, perhaps the smoothest-operating club since the days of Angelo "Hank" Lulsetti. , Stanford, clearly the best out fit In the southern division, drop ped only a game to Southern California. For the first time in history, the Indians beat Uni versity of California tn four straight. Oregon State, on the other hand, had a bit more difficulty in a scrappy northern division campaign, losing five games. Coach Slats Gill has a team of veterans, among them big Cen ter John Mandic who is a wizard under the basket. Don Durdan, OSC guard, is the boy who star red on the Beaver football team which beat Duke in the Rpse bowl. Stanford won the southern di vision title last year but lost to Washington State college in the playoff. The teams play tonight, to morrow night, and Monday night, should a playoff game be necessary.

That was a belief expressed Thursday by Nels Norgren, Uni versity of Chicago mentor and president of the National Bas ketball Coaches association, as he prepared to leave for the or ganization's annual meeting at New Orleans March 18-19-20. "A recent canvass of our mem bership about the rules and sug gested changes failed to bring forth any radical proposals," Norgren said, "I believe most of the coaches are relatively well satisfied with the game as it is." Webb-Colon Go Tops Garden Card Tonight NEW YORK. March 13 (UP) The light-heavyweight division is in such a mess that tonight's 12-round bout between Jimmy Webb and Johnny Colan will have less significance than the first battle for Benghazi, al though the Madison Square Gar den winner is supposed to get a "title shot." It's a shame, too, because it should be an electrifying brawl, if it's anything like their pre vious melee just a month ago tonight, in another Friday-the-13th, when they battled to a draw in the eight-round semi final at the Garden. This encounter is bound to be torrid, but an additional dash of Ice water was flung upon its significance last night when the 173-pound king, Gus Lesnevjch, as given a sound trouncing that if Bivins won, the would get a crack at the Lesnevich diadem within 60 days.

Joe DiMag Signs for An Estimated $42,000 Yank Star Ends Holdout With Compro mise; Barrow Says Figure 'Over $40,000' ' Br JUDSON BAILEY ' SJ. PETERSBURG, March 13 UP) Joe DiMaggio, bearntag brightly from sunburn and happiness, waa safely in the fold. l the New York Yankees today with the second biggest contract ever given a member of the club. The great centerfielder, who hit in 56 consecutive gemea last season and was voted the most valuable player in the American league, came to an agreement with President Edward G. Barrow last night on a salary estimated at $42,000, an increase of I50OO over his I94i stipend. This was a higher salary thai) the Yankees ever gave any player other than Babe Ruth and ended the No. 1 holdout squabble of the 1942 baseball campaign. Barrow arrived here from New York yesterday afternoon and telephoned DiMaggio at nearby Lido Beach, where he has been vacationing with his wife and baby. A conference was arranged at Barrow's hotel room last night and after an hour-long huddle the pair smil ingly announced that they had reached a satisfactory compro mise with-little difficulty. Barrow admitted that he had gone above the $40,000 offer which he had termed "final" last week, -but added, ""not very much above." , , "I am happy, very happy, at the way it came out," said Joe. "I thought we might have a battle, but it was all friendly and I'm glad to get it over and get to work;. "1 didn't want to drag-these negotiations out, but I earned a raise this year and I don't think anybody blames me for asking for it." , Steelhead Angling Outlook Poor PORTLAND, March 13 UP) The steelhead angling outlook this weekend is poor, the. state game commission reported to day.
