as a "fish" instead of the firm,

Chicago Swatter
Home Run Leader
For Second Year
NEW YORK, Dec. 23 (P)
Bill Nicholson of the Chicago
Cubs was just about the most
feared man at the plate in the
National league last summer
and official figures released to
day tell the reason why.
Although Stan Musial of the
Cardinals won h i s second
straight slugging title, figured
on the ratio of total bases to
at bats, Nicholson was only
four points behind at .545. The
club swatter gained the added
distinction of becoming the first
senior circuit player to be RBI
and home run leader for two
years In succession.
Nicholson, a 30-year-old clouf
er from Chestertown, Md., drove
home 122 runs and hit 33 hom
ers. Although Augie Galan of
the Dodgers drew the most
bases on balls, 101, Big Nic was
up there close with 93. He
bounced Into only three double
plays, a department led by
Ernie Lombardl of the Giants
with 23. -

After two rounds had been
completed without a tumble,
Ernie grabbed the first flop
with a sommers; ult followed by
a body press. Wagner proceeded
to make use of the rough stuff
In the next round by hooking
Piluso's leg over the ropes and
sawing back and forth gleefully.
Referee Wally Moss finally
broke it up, but Gorgeous was
not to be denied and pounced
on Ernie to take the fall with
a step-over too hold.

Ernie wanted to continue the

surfboard to Davidson in the

and the match whep "Blood and

Huskies Down
Ducks, OSC
In Cage Bee
By The Associated Press
The first half of the annual
Astoria, Ore., northern division
basketball jamboree was history
today. And if, as the axiom
goes, history repeats itself, the
University of Washington Hus
kies will once again rule the
collegiate hoopster in 1944-45.
The Huskies turned in a
double win in the one-half
games, downing Oregon 31-18
and Oregon State' 20-17. Wash
ington State likewise downed
the favored OSC quintet by an
overwhelming 32-14 score, but
lost to Oregon 26-21.
Jorgenson, guard, paced the
Washington five with a cumu
lative 18-point score. Hays and
Bartelt topped Oregon with pine
each, Hansen's 24 were tops for
the Cougars, and Bertie led the
Beavers with eight.
- The same bill will be replayed
tonight.
In other games, the Univer
sity of Oregon niedlcal school
plastered another defeat on Wil
lamette university 54-22 with
Jim Zimmerman counting 23
points. Fort George Wright
hung a slim 43-41 licking on
Walla. Walla army air base.
