BASKETBALL VOL Midland February 22, 1943 Cougars in Cage Lead; Oregons Split Series Oregonians Drop From North Race by Split; Beavers Win Saturday, 41-31 By The Associated Press 1 ' The University of Washington and Washington State settle down this week to determine tho basketball championship of tho northern division, Coast con ference. The other three members of the division, Idaho, Oregon and Oregon State, will be playing too, but their only bearing on the title will be the damage they may do the two Washington schools. Washington State slipped back into the lead in the nip and tuck race by taking a game from Idaho Friday night while Wash ington was idle. The 58 to 33 victory gave WSC a margin of half a game over Washington's Huskies, who had gained a tic with WSC by defeating Idaho twice earlier in the week while WSC was idle. Meanwhile, Oregon and Ore gon State, both of whom needed to win every game to stay in the race, split a series knocking both out. OSC's defending champs have lost six, just the Big Ten Men Tell Frosh To Stand By Western Conference Gives Frosh, Service Men Okay On Sport Participation CHICAGO, Feb. 22 (JP The Western conference today gave its freshman athletes orders to stand by for action. The Big Ten, in dropping its long-standing rule against the use of freshmen yesterday, also paved the way for service men who arc getting schooling at member universities to play on varsity sport squads. Starting with the spring sports program of baseball, outdoor track, tennis and golf, first-year students will be eligible to com pete with the varsity. Wiscon sin, only Big Ten school to main tain an intercollegiate boxing team, also was given permission to use freshmen in thut sport at once. The change in the rule which has stood, with one brief excep tion in 1018, since 1904 means that freshmen and service men will be available for football next fall, thus virtually assuring tho conference Qf a full grid season. " The faculty representatives, meeting with athletic directors, ruled that henceforth a fresh man will not have to complete one calendar year of residence, and a student transferring in good standing from another school will not have to attend his new university a full year in order to compete. Prof. Frank E. Richart, Illi nois faculty representative, said the way would be open for for mer professional athletes or col lege graduates to play on var sity teams if they were members of an enlisted reserve sent to a conference school for study, pro vided university faculty . mem bers were in charge of most of the instruction work. Notre Dame, although not rep resented at the meeting, Is ex pected to follow the Big Ten lead shortly.

The Oregon series left the iwo clubs tied two and two for the season's play. Oregon won the first game, Friday night, 42 to 38, to put the defending cham pions out of the race, and then Saturday, OSC came back strong to clip Oregon wings with a 41-31 victory in a tight guarding game which OSC held in con trol all the way. This week, with Captain Owen Hunt, stellar guard, gone into the armed services, WSC faces its sternest test of the season, a four-game road trip through Oregon with games at Corvallis with OSC, Tuesday and Wednes day at Eugene with Oregon, Fri day and Saturday. Washington in the meantime will entertain Idaho in Seattle and is practi cally sure to take two games. On that basis, the Cougars will need to win all four games to maintain their lead or to win three to stay in a tie with the Huskies. If Washington takes two from Idaho, its standings will be 10 won, four lost.- WSC would have exactly the same figures if it wins three and loses one, a good average on the Ore gon swing. Then the title would go over until the final week when Wash' ington meets Oregon State in Seattle for two games and Idaho and WSC complete their series with singles games at Pullman and Moscow. If both the Huskies and Cou gars win all their remaining games, WSC will win the title by half a game. That though is unlikely as the other three mem' bcrs, while out of the title run ning have been:' anything but pushovers, with even the luck less Idaho Vandals posting some mighty close scores in losing 11 of 12 games played. EOC Spurns Hoopjnvite For Playoff M LA GRANDE, Feb. 22. (VP) Eastern Oregon College of Edu cation spurned an outright invi tation to the national intercol legiate basketball tournament to day and offered to meet the Northwest conference champion for the right to enter the tour ney. Officials of the tournament, scheduled to start at Kansas City March 8, invited the Moun taineers to represent Oregon at the meet. Formerly the invita tion has gone to the winner of the small college tournament at Portland, not scheduled this year. The Mountaineers, who have averaged 40 points a game in winning 14 and losing 3, are one game away from the Oregon In tercollegiate conference title. Coach Bob Quinn said he wanted to insure the selection would be fair and sent his offer for a playoff to Willamette uni versity, which needs one more victory to clinch the Northwest conference crown. Beaver's Roster Upped With Two More Pitchers PORTLAND, ' Feb. 22 (P) Tho Portland Beavers' roster in creased today to 26 with the ad dition of two more pitchers, a first baseman and a rookie catcher. Manager William Klcppcr of the Coast league team said he had purchased Fay Thomas, vet eran Coast league right-hander who was out of baseball last year; Bob Hardy, former Uni versity of Oregon southpaw re cently with Beaumont of the Texas league; George Vlcoi, first baseman for Winston-Salem in the Piedmont league, and Wil liam Burgher, Ontario, Ore., catcher.
