Baseball Eyes Escape
From Manpower Demands
Players Omitted From Commission's
List of Non-Essential Activities
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 (AP) Big league baseball
and other professional sports, already facing stringent
travel and other restrictions, escaped what might have
been a final crushing blow when they were omitted from
the list of activities considered non-essential for draft
purposes.
Although the war manpower commission's list skipped
the sports field by singling out greenskeepers and the
boys who make a living gambling on the races, the play-for-pay
athletes were not included among those who face
induction after April 1, regardless of their dependents.
But, along with thousands of other young wage earn
ers with children, professional athletes got no assurance
that their induction would Jong

NEW YORK, Feb. 3 (IP)
With folks talking about using
horses instead of automobiles to
get around, it seems silly to hear
that horce racing (of all things)
is having more troubles about
transportation that just getting
the horse-players to the tracks.
. STEVE'S SLIP
Steve Mesner, the new Dodger
infielder, played through the
long Pacific Coast league season
for Sacramento last year without
missing an inning. . . . But in the
last game of the Sacs' playoff
against Seattle, Steve became
peeved when he was called out
on strikes in the ninth inning.
He slammed his bat against the
stand and was bounced from
the game, so Manager Pepper
Martin had to spoil a' perfect
record by putting a sub on third
base for the last half of the
ninth.

WMC Chairman Paul V. Mc
Nutt, onetime sandlot player
who previously has said he con
sidered pro football and base
ball desirable but not essen
tial," warned that the first list
was "just the beginning." He
backed this up with a predic
tion that 10 out of every 14 men
between 18 and 38 spanning
the ages of most athletes would
be in the armed services by the
year's end.
Other manpower officials said
there hadn't been any discussion
of . the future lists of nonde-
ferrables and emphasized that
it would be "sheer guesswork"
to speculate on the prospects for
professional athletes.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3 (IP)
President Charles Graham of the
San Francisco Seals hopes the
war manpower commission will
clarify the status of professional
baseball players before the Pa
cific Coast league meeting Feb
ruary IS in Los Angeles.
The league directors need to
know, definitely, whether their
draft age players will be avail
able to play in 1943, so plans
for the spring training can be
worked out, he said.
"If new lists expected to be
issued by the war manpower
commission classify baseball
players as engaged in non-essential
occupation, I fail to see how
baseball can continue," Graham
declared.
'There aren't enough players
over the 38-year age limit to
man a baseball club, either in
the minor or major league."

Central Washington defeated
Western Washington, 41-39 in a
rough and rugged basketball
game here last night. Two con

margin of victory.
Capt. Jack Hubbard of Ever

Wiseman got a chance on an
"abusive language" foul, and
made it good.
Thirty-seven fouls were called

Oregon State Hoi Unhappy
Season; Huskies Challonge
WSC Lsad; Oregon Rest
PULLMAN. Feb. 3 (T)
Washington State stands out
sharply today as the team to
beat for the northern division
basketball title after the Cou
gars' tingling 55-52 conquest of
the Oregon State Beavers here
last night.
Washington, however, stands
prepared to challenge WSC's
league leadership, and the
Husky-Cougar series In Seattle
Friday and Saturday will be
the closest thing to "crucial"
this season has yet seen.
. Oregon State left for home
after last night's defeat, the de
fending champions' third in four
games on the road trip, and will
attempt to salvage something
from what so far has been a far
from happy season in Fridny
Saturday games at Corvallis
against the University of Idaho.
Idaho, currently on the up
grade, boasts only one victory
however, that over Oregon
State. The possible return of
Don Durdan to the lineup will
do much to spur the Beavers
from here on in, Oregon does
not go into action again until
next Monday and Tuesday,
Against Idaho at Eugene.
OSC last night was a far dif
ferent club than the one that
dropped a 44-35 decision to the
Cougars the night before. They
were definitely in the ball game
trom start, to finish and for a
greater part of the game looked
as though they had the winning
spark.
Except for a brief 6-6 tie the
Beavers led throughout the first
half, which ended 34-30 in their
favor. A fast, hard-charging con
test throughout, the game really
reached a white heat in the
closing minutes of the last half.
There were four ties and six
swaps of the lead in the final
10 minutes and not until the
final two minutes did the Cou
gars go ahead to stay, 'on two
quick goals by Gail Bishop after
Bob Howard had given OSC a
50-49 advantage. Scott Witt, re
placing Bishop after his last
goal, hit the net for the final
Cougar field goal and Lew Beck
connected from mid-floor for the
last Beaver tally.
Beck was all over the floor
and all over the Cougar all
night long and led' scorers with
14 points. Bishop and Al Akins
got 13 each for WSC.
' The Cougar reserves, consid
ered the team's weak spot this
season, put on a heartening dis
play of speed and shooting in
the second half. It was Tom
O'Neil, sub-guard, with a field
goal and a free throw, who gave
the Cougars their first lead of
the game.

' SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3 (P)
A last quarter offensive and re
covery of Hank Luisetti, ace for
ward, from a bad cold yielded
St. Mary's Naval Pre-Flight a 42
37 win over the Oakland Coast
Guard basketball team last night.
Luisetti, who has lagged in
recent games showed the spark
of his starring days at Stanford.
Coast Guard led 17-16 at the
half.
The second game on a Civic
auditorium doubleheader was a
one-point victory by the St.
Mary's College Gaels over the
University of San Francisco. The
score see-sawed throughout and
ended 40 to 39.
Coast conference southern
division teams were idle last
night but statistics compiled at
the University of California dis
closed that Alex Omalcv, South
ern California forward, still was
top scorer. His 63 total points
for the season were three more
than those of his closest competi
tor and team-mate, Gene Rock,
also a forward.
