An Owasso player dribbled

Webfoots Face Important
Cage Series With Huskies
By The Associated Press
Fortune may not . smile to
night she may laugh right out
loud.
The hoop teams of the Uni
versities of Washington and
Oregon both will be courting
the fickle old hussy, and if
either loses not only this eve
ning's brush but thc battle to
morrow as well, you will find
it off in a dark corner of the
Pacific Coast conference north
ern division shedding worn out
basketballs for tears,
Oregdn State, at the same
time, will be scrambling desper
ately to stay in the pennant
picture, meeting the Univer
sity of Idaho's winless but will
ing Vandals.
The situation as Washington
and Oregon square off at Se
attle is this:
Washington can climb to with
in a half-game of the lead with
a double triumph. One Oregon
victory would insure its con
tinued hold on top spot and two
wins would give it a top heavy
edge for the rest of thc cam
paign. By winning twice at
Idaho while Oregon was losing
two in Seattle. Oregon State
could bounce into a first place
tie. ' . ,
Idaho s scrappy young club,
an almost-hero outfit in several
of its games, might check the
OSC Beavers if Coach Babe
Brown has brewed some strat
egy potion to check big Red
Rocha, the Beaver center. Wash
ington State stopped him Tues
day and won easily; failed to
hold him Wednesday and lost,
although in a double-overtime
thriller.
Oregon's chore at Seattle is
much tougher than it was when
the Webfoots trounced thc
Huskies twice at Eugene. Wash
ington will have its navy train
ees for these tilts, includina its
scoring aces, Don McMillan and
Bill Vandenburch. Washington
has not lost a home tilt in con
ference play,
First-place Oregon has won
seven, lost two; Oregon State's
record is five opd four, Wash
ington with four and four and
Washington State with five and
five are tied in third place and
Idaho trails with six defeats.

blowup was sure to come. But
with a complete disregard for
these warnings and a blindness
fortunately not characteristic ol
athletic organisations as a
whole, the NCAA let It ride.
Now the blowup has conic as
predicted. It is true thnt these
two tinhorns will be punished
and probably imprisoned, but for

are 2000 more. This Incident Is
only the start and will pick up
momentum like a snowball roll

the actual blame for the situa

president Wilbur C. Smith of
the National Collegmle Athletic
association is.iut'il an Invitation
todnv to the mitlonul .-quirts
writers to nssIM tho NCAA In
cheeking gambling on college

The plea followed by only
four duys the breaking of the

"scandal" In which five Brook- j
lyn players admitted accepting
money to "fix" n scheduled
game with Akron college. It
was also the first official lie-,
tion of Dr, Smith, Tulane nth
lotic director, who was mimed
head of the NCAA last month.
"I am sure that this assist
ance Is In a large sense already
being extended," Dr. Smith said,
"as 1 know that the press Is Just
as hopeful as uiu we uf thc
colleges thnt this evil menace
may soon bo stamped out. Few
newspapers hnvo ever nuuled
gamblers odds on collego spurts,
but 1 wish lo make this pleu to
those that do that this practice
be discontinued in tho Interest
of spurts.
"No one appreciates more
than I that tho public feels that
its guardianship of sports, and
particularly amateur athletics,
Is to a large extent in the hands
of the nation's sports writers.
From an institutional trustee
ship, of course, we of thc Na

elation are charged with a def
inite responsibility but the aver
age fan who loves sports looks
to the press lo safeguard his
interests."
Dr. Smith said that ho had
prepared a letter tu be sent
soon to all members of tho Na
tional Collegiate association, for
mally acquainting them with
tha gambling resolution adopted
at tho association's national
meeting In Columbus, Ohio, last
month.
"Thc most effective step that
we can take for thc moment, is
to discontinue furnishing spec
ial Information for use In form
sheets and other publications i
designed 'primarily for the in
terest of those wagering on con
tests," he said. "Coaches may
cooperate by giving Information
regarding pre-gnme injuries and
such through regular news chan
nels only."

the Gulf of Mexico sees the start
of its first annual $3,000 open
golf tournament today with a
field of 102, in which the ama
teurs outnumber the pros by
only a dozen, hammering at an
often-cracked par 70.
Regulation figures took a
brisk going-over yesterday in a
pro-amateur played in mist, fog
and high wind in which Claude
Harmon of Grosse Point, Mich.,
turned in a 32-3264 card and
a score of other players ripped
par asunder.
But despite all those awesome
rounds, Byron Nelson, playing
the course for thc first time and

par, was in his accustomed role
of favorite.
Thc golfers looked at It like
this. The Toledo, O., pro has
been thc man to bent in each
"tournament of the winter swing
this year; he hasn't finished low
er than a tic for second in any
meet, won one tournament and
was edged out ot first money by
a single stroke last wackend In
tho Texas Open at San Antonio.
Frank Strazza of Greenwich,
Conn., had a 05 in yesterday's
pro-amateur and seven others
