Palmer turned in a great in
dividual scoring spree to pace
the Pelicans to a 42 to 32 tri
umph over the Grizzlies and put
them in a tie with Ashland for
second place in the Southern
Oregon conference race. The
speedy Klamath eager collected
23 points to account for more
than half of the total Pelican
tallies scored.
The blinding speed of both
teams was sensational as they
sureed uo and down the maple.
but the Grizzlies were unable to
find the bucket, with the ball
repeatedly rimming the basket.
The K-men have pulled the
teeth of the Grizzlies three times
this season, to account for all of
their conference victories, and
the Ashland cagers clipped the
Pelicans' wings once.
The Grizzlies got off to a
momentary lead in the first heat
on a bucket by Samuelson after
one minute of play had elapsed,
but Palmer tied it up seconds
later and added a free throw to
give the K-men a 3-2 lead that
they never relinquished. The
period ended with the Klamath
five out in front, 8-4.
In the second stanza the Pel
icans collected 15 markers while
Ashland garnered 11, to give
them a 23 to 15 advantage as
the first half ended.
The K-men, paced by Palmer,
kept up the pace in the third
frame when they rang up 14
counters, while again holding the
Ashland quintet to 11, and en
joyed a comfortable 37 to 26
Itad to start the fourth quarter.

It was the floor generalship of

Oregon to its 58-48 win over the

35-21 at tho half after running
up 11 points before Washington
could find the range. -
Scrambling to catch up, the
Huskies lost their coordination
and bad floor work and passing
led to their further undoing. A

Airway Use
By Postwar
Teams Talked
SEATTLE, Feb. 5 (P) College
athletic teams will take to the
airways after the war with a
resultant added impetus to in
tcrsectional clashes in all sports,
in the opinion of Al Ulbrickson,
University of Washington ath
letic director.
More than one intersectional
contest was dropped in the pre
war years because of travel
time involved, Ulbrickson says.
Such contests, he says, will be
commonplace in the postwar ath
letic picture, with teams scoot
ing through the airlanes in' hours
where days once were consumed
in travel plus acclimation at the
end of the line. '
Citing his own specialty,
Washington crews, Ulbrickson
predicted more regattas held an
nually, with crews being flown
between Seattle and California
and other points for races im
possible when long train rides
and long training periods on the
spot were necessary.
Intersectional contests, he says,
will not outmode the present
day regional conferences with
their traditional competition.
Increased athletic emphasis
after the war will not focus
alone on varsity competition,
Ulbrickson said, in declaring
that more students will partici
pate in sports under the influ
ence of the wartime military
program with its emphasis on
physical fitness.
These secondary teams, he pre
dicted, will be organized under
weight classifications and will
engage teams in similar categor
ies in rival schools.
"A college athlete needs more
than intramural competition to
fire him up to the point where
his sports participation can be a
morale builder," Ulbrickson said.

Tough Tony Ross
Given Rematch
With 'Grey Mask'
At the Klamath arena Friday
night, Promoter Mack Lillard
has rematched Tough Tony Ross
and the "Grey Mask" in the
headline event , by popular de
mand. Tony put up such a great bat
tle against the masked menace
last week that the fans have
been clamoring for a rematch of
the two gladiators.
Ross almost succeeded In
dumping the hooded hoodlum in
their bout hero last Friday and
will again turn on the heat in a
valiant effort to pin the "Mask"
and reveal his identity.
The two musclers fought it
out to a draw in their previous
clash after the veiled scourge
had taken the first flop with his
vicious head butts. Tony gave
everything he had in the final
canto and took the fall that
deadlocked the clambake with
six savage back-breakers in a
row. Mr. Stoneface was unable
to weather the storm after the
last one and Ross flattened .him
with a body press.
There will be no hike In prices
for this great bout and ducats
are going fast with a complete
sellout expected.

Optimism
Keynote
Of Meet
Baseball Will Probably
Be Continued Next Season
NEW YORK, Fel. 3 ll')
Optimism for the continuance f
baseball was tho kt-ynoto ol tho
thicc-duy session of tho major
leagues which ended yesterday
with the immitil dinner o( tho
New York chapter of the Uusc
ball Writers' association of
America.
Perhaps the most liouiionhiK
news heard by the 1200 busnball
pcoplo consisting of club own
ers, league officials, writers and
fans who jammed tho Hotel
Aslor ballroom was Col. Lurry
MnePhall's statement that James
F. Byrnes, war mobilization di
rector, would come to reeogiilne
the value of wartime baseball.
"I have been with Undersec
retary of Wur ralterson for 2
years," tho head of Ihu syndicate
that recently bought the Now
York Yankees told the audience.
"I know he thinks that expendi
tures of manpower uiul transpor
tation for baseball uie worth
while. I think Mr, llyrnes will
come to that same decision."
"From my own experience, 1
know that Washington Is friend
ly to baseball," MacPhiiil con
tinued. "They realize the con
tribution baseball has given to
war relief. Although baseball is
listed as non-essential, I don't
think anyone In his right mind
thinks basebull should slop.
"The game has contributed to
relief from strain and worry to
over 100,000,000 persons; radio
broadcasts of the games have
contributed to the enjoyment
and pleasure of thousands of
shut-ins and war casualties;
films of games have been shown
In all theaters of war. In ad
dition over 5,000,000 servicemen
and 2,000,000 kids have been
admitted free and over UOU
games have been played with
proceeds donated to war relief.''
Baseball, he insisted however,
doesn't want to keep a single
man who can bo used moiu
beneficially by tho war depart
ment or by war essential in
dustry.
