Bob Barry, that ex-gridiron

ideas to us about getting athletic

Barry has been, around the
countryside gathering men for
ta t h e baseball
VS diamond and
I challenging the
Is o 1 d i e r s at
Camp Newell
for a little play
. , . and they
took him up on
i took him i
ffV d'eaVh.T
and the
been
by Cap-
CALISE tain Maples. Lt,
Taulonsky and Cpl. Youngblood
are in charge getting a program
ready for the public,
Deputy Sheriff Jack Franey
and Red Sanders of this city
will be officials and if the go
ing gets too tough Barry will
toss them in the lineup. Pitcher
lor the Barry team will be Nor
man Bannister, barber from
Swansen's shop. Barry claims
that he was hailed as all-city
from Paisley and will toss the
apple for nine innings,
Other horsehide tossers will
be Doc Bowman (without his
glasses), Louie Stewart, Ken
Colwell, Velton Haskins, Virgil
Barron, Claude Moreland and
Bob Barry himself.
Bab D a 1 1 o n, the old-timer,
will be the referee.
The time will be 1:30 p. m.
Sunday, March 14. The public
is invited and a small fee will
be charged and it will all go
to the soldiers for their equip
ment.
The baseball game will not be
the only feature. There will be
more . . . Such as boxing events
. -. . Barry will probably have
around four bouts between the
soldiers.- Around 5 in the after
noon a close order drill will be
presented by soldiers and the
flag lowered ... In other words
the public will be given a gen
eral idea of how its sons are
marching . . . Then there will
be an inspection of the barracks
and kitchen with the public
looking on.
In the evening there will be
dancing in the. mess hall with
a local, orchestra.
We think that Barry has an
excellent idea and if the public
cooperates it should go over big.
If this goes over Sunday, Barry
will probably ' think of . more
iripas to bo into effect.
Once a mistake gets started it
Is hard to stop it. In Frank Gian-
elli's column of the Oregoman u
was stated Frank . Ramsey was
coaching the Pelican basketeers
to the state tournament ana tne
Klamath team was a strong con
tender. .
Quoting Al Lightner from the
Oregon . Statesman:
"It has been said by the
wise ones that North Bend's
hoopiters were 15 to 20 points
a better club than Astoria, and
North Bend got knocked off
by the all-reteran Klamath
Falls Pelicans. So what does
that make the Pelicans? Fa
vorites in our book by whis
ker, "Don't forget what Frank
Ramsey did with his Corvallls
Spartans into second place was
truly one of the tourney high
lights. This year he's boning
the Pelicans and when we say
they're all-veterans, we mean
just that."
Al goes on to say that the fact
is, the whisker that ha picks
Klamath Falls by is over Baker
and not Astoria ....

Critics Think That
Laddie Gale's Mark
Could Have Cracked
PULLMAN, March 10 (JP)
Under the old 20-game schedule
in effect when the northern di
vision basketball campaign in
cluded Montana, Gail Bishop of
Washington State very probably
could have cracked the all-time
mark of 249 points chalked up
by Laddie Gale in 1938.
Bishop bagged 224 points In
16 games and at the pace he was
setting would have wound up
with 280 for 20 games, the
schedule under which Gale post
ed his mark.

EUGENE, March 10 (P) Eu
gene high school's basketball
team, a comparatively . "soft
touch" for state tournament op
ponents during the past 16 years,
makes its third straight appear

The Axemen play powerful

Eastern Oregon College
Will Tangle With Top
Maryville State Teachers
KANSAS CITY, March 10 ()
A couple of Pacific northwest
basketball teams whose opening
round performances showed
them worthy of more than pass
ing attention will grab a share
of the spotlight from the pre
tourney favorites in second
round national intercollegiate
tournament games today.
Eastern Oregon College of
Education this afternoon will
tangle with Maryville (Mo.) State
Teachers, and tonight Eastern
Washington College of Educa
tion will attempt to get by St.
Cloud, Minn., Teachers, one of
the tourney's ranking teams.
Eastern Washington yesterday
removed Valparaiso, Ind., one
of the strongest entries, from
c ha mionship . considera
tion, winning easily, 54-42.
Boasting one of the tallest
teams in the meet, the Indianans
nevertheless were a bit spell
bound by the speed and fire of
the Washington team, which led
at halftime, 32-20. John Loths-
peich's 18 points for the victors
was the top individual per
formance. .
In the tourney opener, Eastern
Oregon, a school with only 95
male students, out-lasted Illinois
Wesleyan, 45-40. Wesleyan los
ing an early lead in the first
half, later knotted the count at
32-32 but couldn't keep up the
pace.
Pepperdine college, recent
conquerors of the University of
southern California, scraped by
the Kearney, Nebraska Teachers
50-45 without showing anything
startling.

other victory was registered over
the Axemen by the University
of Oregon freshmen, 38 to 27.
Under the coaching of Ford
Mullen, Eugene has developed
into a court-wise aggregation.
Mullen, a former member of
Oregon's 1939 quintet that cap
tured the NCAA championship
and is a member of the Seattle
Rainiers of the Pacific Coast
Baseball league, has concentrat
ed in fundamentals, lie uses a
fast-breaking offense and a zone
defense that can be shifted to a
man-for-man when necessary.
The team has scored 804 points
against 636, or an average of 35
28. Mullen will take Ruy Cain,
Vern Purdue, Cece Berg, and
Bob McKevitt, forwards; Ernie
Danner and Curt Sprecher, cent
ers; Captain Al Wolf, Jack Fas
sett, and Jerry Holland, guards,
to Salem.
Probable starters are Danner,
a 6-foot-2 transfer from Univers
ity (Eugene) who has scored 174
points in 22 games. Ray Cain
is a deadly push-shot artist from
any position and at 6-foot-2 is a
good man under the boards. He
has tallied 161 points in 22
games. His probable forward
mate will be Purdue, junior who
entered the lineup in the last five
games of the season.
Wolf is a veteran of last year's
tournament and considered the
key man in the lineup. He is
small and fast, an excellent drib
bler and "Fe Der," but also a
dependable scorer the squad
leader with 181 points in 23
games. His running mate is Jack
Fassett who stands about 5-foot-10,
only slightly under Wolf's
calibre as a dribbler and floor
man. He has scored only 55
points in 20 games, but is a po
tent set-shot from long range.

Drills for
Trojans
.': Coach Hec Edmundson Putt
Huskies Through Defense
Drill for Tourney Meet
SEATTLE, March 10 (JP)
Coach Hec Edmundson put the
University of Washington Hus
kies through a concentrated de
fense drill yesterday based on
reports the Southern California
basketball offense clicks from
set plays designed to suck the
opposition out of position.
The Huskies meet the Trojans
for the Pacific Coast conference
title here this weekend. Games
will be played Friday and Satur
day and a third Monday if need
ed. The Huskies currently are pre
paring for their first champion
ship series in seven years behind
locked doors.
Edmundson said his team was
in top mental condition and
would not get any hard physical
workouts during the week. The
condition of Bill Morris, all-star
guard, remained the big Wash
ington question mark.
The knee he injured In the
Oregon State game Saturday
night will get its first real test
in a workout today.
One of the reports received by
Edmundson on the USC style of
play came from Dale Gentry, the
Walla Walla boy, who, as a
three-sport letterman at Wash
ington State, probably competed
against Husky teams as much as
any athlete in recent years. Gen
try now is stationed with the
navy in Los Angeles.
Bob Collins
Gives Seattle
A Headache
SEATTLE, March 10 (IP) The
whereabouts of Bob Collins,
first string catcher for the Seat
tle Rainiers, is proving a pre
season headache for the Pacific
Coast league baseball team's
management.
Mail addressed to Collins' for
mer Pittsburgh home has been
returned and now the club is
trying to get a line on him
through the Railway Firemen's
union. Collins had worked on
the choo-choos during past win
ters.
Business Manager Bill Mulli
gan is afraid the big receiver
may have gone into the army
without notifying the Rainiers
and it's getting pretty late to line
up first string replacements.
Collins came to Seattle from
Los Angeles a couple of seasons
ago.

Waner Brothers Brought
Together for Third Time
NEW YORK, March 10 (P)
The Brooklyn Dodgers, known
in pre-war days as the Dodgers,
have brought the Waner broth
ers together for the third time
on a major league baseball club.
The outfield that wowed the
fans for 14 years in Pittsburgh
and for s short time in Boston
now is going into a rehearsal
for a Brooklyn appearance.
Paul was picked up during the
winter as a free agent and Lloyd
was acquired yesterday in tho
trade that sent Babe Dahlgren
to Philadelphia.
Paul, older by four years and
now approaching 40, joined the
Pittsburgh club in 1926 and
preceded his brother to the big
top by one season.
It was during the 1927 season
that Paul won the first of his
three league batting champion-
ships and was declared the
loops most valuable player.
And it wasn't their fault that
the pirates lost the world title
in four straight to the Yankees
as Lloyd batted .400 in the se
ries and Paul .333.
The Waners, Oklahoma prod
ucts like the Dean brothers of
St. Louts Cardinal fame, bear
little resemblance to ball play
ers. They are slight, dapper fel
lows, and neither, swinging his
favorite bat, will push the scales
to 160 pounds.
Neither has the habits of a
ball player, Paul frankly ad
mitting thaU.he sometimes goes
an entire week without eating
a steak.
It was Paul who astounded
baseball players and doctors
last summer by admitting that
he was so near-sighted he could
not read the signs on the stadi
um walls in which he played.
But Lloyd's eyesight is okay.
During his many years at Pitts
burgh he struck out only once
in every 49 times at bat.
Lloyd is the faster of the two
afield, but it is an attribute for
which Paul claims credit.
During their youth Father
Waner gave his two sons an
acre of melons. For months the
two guarded them only to have

The fighting on Guadalcanal
was "Indian warfare brought up

That's what First Lt. Tom

university basketball player, said
here on his return from the
Solomons.
"A man's on his own. He gets
separated from the other men
and he's got to fight his own in

was wounded by a Japanese
hand grenade, told former unl- j
