man Missionaries stole a 47-37
win from the Washington State
college basketeers last night to
open a two-game series and hand
the Staters their second collegi
ate loss of the season.
Idaho, leading only 20-19 at
halftimc, pulled out in front
slowly in the second half to
down Gonzaga, 47-39. while the
high-scoring University of Ore
gon Ducks edged out a 68-65
win over the Klamath Falls ma
rines. Willamette broke an
eight-game losing streak to down
the Portland Police for the sec
ond time and their second win
of the season, 38-35.
The Missionary-Cougar clash
was deadlocked 18-all at half
time after a furious session that
saw the lead change hands 10
times. The victors finally moved
out in front by stealing the ball
throughout the second period.
Sixteen points by Whitman's
Bob Eckman topped the scoring,
with George Hamilton, Cougar
guard, following at 12.
prise of the current tournament
of the winter tour.
Unknown to the general golf
ing public, the 32-year-old entry
from San Antonio paced the
field in the first" round with a
par-shattering 68 and assured a
deadlock at the halfway point
when he knocked in a par 71 for
the Richmond Country club
course.
Snead. in the throes of a come
back after 26 months navy serv
ice that saw him win the recent
Portland Open in his first out,
moved into a 36-holc tie with
Walkup on the final hole yester
day. He chipped in from 50 feet
for an eagle three to post a sec
ond round 69. From here on in,
the Hot Springs, Va., par-cracker
will be the man to beat.
The course, atop hilly land!
overlooking the bay, is one oft
those to Sncad's liking. Longi
hitters like him aren't penalized!
drastically because of heavy

Ammunition Lack
Foreseen by WPB
WASHINGTON, Dec. IS
t(Tl Huntors may lose thoir
ammunition rations again.
The war production board
is taking steps to conserve
civilian supplies since most
of the small arms ammunition
is required to meet a short
ago in military neods. par
ticularly in the assault against
Germany.
Manufacturers meet today
with WPB and military offi
cials to try to determine the
quantities of shotgun shells
and rifle bullets which can be
produced next year for hunt
ers, farmers and law-enforcement
officers.
Already WPB has ordered
civilian ammunition ship
ments halted at factories. It
was stated that hunters prob
ably will lose their rations,
equal since last August to
those of farmers.
One Klamath ammunition
dealer commented that this
WPB order would actually
have little effect on the am
munition situation here, inas
much as shell shioments dur
ing the 1944 hunting season
have been extremely meager.
No more shipments of any
siso were expected to arrive
in any case during the balance
of the current hunting season,
due to tho time lag in trans
portation from the east coast
to the west coast, he said.

Using every clean and legal
trick in the nissliny: book. Jack
Kiser and Gust Johnson butted
biceps to a draw in Iho headline
event on the crunch card last
niKlit at the armory.
Moth boys were fast, scientific
and clever and the bout went the
full hour limit? with each (snip
pier sainiiiK a fall. This match
made tho debut of Goikoous
Georjje WuKncr in the other
main fracas seem like mighty
small potatoes in comparison,
and the fans were quick to show
their approval of the final tussle
with cheers and handclaps.
Johnson Kaiucd the first tum
ble after the time limit was over
half none, w i t It a reverse crab.
Trior to the fall, the two (trap
piers displayed sonic fancy
rasslinK. both in obtaining holds
and breaking them.
Jack came roaring back, and
after exchanges of hend-scissors.
short-arm scissors, arm stretches
and the Chinese wrlstlock
thrown in for uood measure,
took the second fall with his
fumed "alligator clutch."
Only four minutes were re
maining in the bout and the boys
really went at it in earnest, with
Johnson striving for a surfboard
hold to no avail. Kiser bounced
Gust off the canvas several times
with full body slams, but John
son proved himself equal to the
occasion, and the classy classic
ended in a draw to the satisfac
tion of the fans.
The boys w c r c so evenly
matched and t h c advantage
changed hands so often that this
bout must be ticked off as the
best that has been seen in the
Klamath bicep bin in a long,
long lime.
George Wagner of tho body(
beautiful became slightly hostile
to one and all after choosing the
wrong side of the coin in the
lip with Kiser to determine
which bout would precede the
other.
Gorgeous claimed that ho was
a main eventer and no minor
role would do, but he was finally
persuaded to appear after com
plaining loudly to all and sun
dry. His venerable opponent, Bull
dog Jackson, blossomed out with
Kelly green tights with socks to
match, to shame the more sober
hue of black worn by Wagner.
Being a fashion plato didn't
become Bulldog, however, as
George took two out of three
falls from Jackson by the quaint
method of twisting Bulldog's
knee bandage and shutting off
the circulation.
Gorgeous took fully five min
utes to fold his gaudy black vel
vet robe with yellow lining, and
after observing the caliber of
rassling displayed by Wagner,
one might, not he far amiss In
Mating that he belter stick to
modeling dressing gowns.
In Iho curliiln-raiser, Tough i
Tony Hoss subdued Milt Olson
with a hammeiiock to take the
only fall gained, and the mutch.
Wnlly Moss was refeieo iul did
his usual capable Job as the
third man In tlie ring. Next Fri
day, same time, same place, Pro
muter Mack Llllnril will roach
into the hat to come up with
another A-l rassling card.
