The Senator's owner said he agreed with that, and he recalled that Mr. Roosevelt had endorsed games under tho floodlights originally as a means of provid ing recreation for war workers. 1 Asked how night games fit in with current regulations curtail ing use of electricity, Griffith replied: "Suppose 15,000 people go to a baseball game. If they stayed home they would be reading and using lights. The office of de fonse transportation figures it doesn't make much difference. It evens itself about up."

Baseball Officials Will Confer With ODT Bigwigs By" JIMMY JORDAN CHICAGO, March 13 (JP) Major league baseball's presi dents are going to Washington this week to confer with office of defense transportation offi cials to determine if their vol untary agreement with the ODT permits playing of training camp exhibition games. President Will Harridgo of the American league, who an nounced last night he and Presi dent Ford Frick of the National league would, meet with ODT of ficials, said he was of the opin ion the schedules could be played. He added a meeting is necessary, however, to clarify "certain points" in the voluntary agreement reached at a meeting with the ODT last month. One of these points, Harridge said, involves games on "neu tral" fields. "When we reached the agree ment in which we voluntarily cut travel of teams by 25 per cent, it was understood we would play no exhibitions during the summer on 'neutral' fields ex cept at army or navy bases, when the latter- furnish the transportation," Harridge said.

It was themixture as before, so to speak, Saturday night as the Oregon hoopsters had to again come from behind to win the tilt in much the same manner as the Oregon-Oregon State battle two weeks ago. The Webfoots "held" Vince Hanson, towering Cougar center and rec ord breaker extraordinary, to a mere 15 points. . Probably the outstanding player on . the floor in this first playoff fray was Bob Hamil ton, Oregon guard and captain. Hamilton turned in .a Rtinnriaiive eame ot nasKemaii baiuraav night. Even though he is not a tall man, Hamilton's work under the backboard, comes under tne Heading oi an outstanding per formance. He stole the ball repeatedly from his taller opponents and was also well up in the scoring bracket. The story of that ball game Saturday night, however, was the inability of the Cougars to make their free throws count. On the other hand, Oregon sank 17 gift tosses the score was 51 to 41. 10 Doints difference and there you are. Those 17 charity flips that the Webfoots made good were the difference, with seven points to spare. Friday the two clubs will collide on McArthur court at Eu gene in the second game of the series. If Oregon wins again Fri day, the Ducks will be proclaimed northern division champs and will go on to the Western NCAA tournament at Kansas City. But if the Cougars hit their stride and bounce their rivals for the crown, the final and deciding tilt will be played Saturday night, also at Eugene. Oregon will no doubt be favored to cop the bunting on Its home floor Friday but, somehow, we still have a sneaking feel ing that the Cougars of Washington State will muster their forces- and go on to win the title in the final two games. . "Standing Room Only" For Mat Tussle - Promoter Mack Lillard-announced this morning that seats for the clash between the French strongman, Georges Dusette, and the savage Mr. Stoneface are going faster than red ration points and that the old sign, "Standing Room Only" will be out Friday night at the armory. There will be no hike in ducat prices for the scuffle, Mack said, and the greatest crowd of the season is expected to be on hand when the two gladiators collide in the main event. Georges has never, to our knowledge, rassled the masked menace before and it should really be something to tell the kid dies when he matches his powerful full-Nelson against the vic ious head butts of the "Grey Mask." That will be just about the ticket Friday night, with Georges trying to maneuver the "Mask" into a position where he can clamp on a Nelson and Mr. Stone face endeavoring to make use. of those dreaded cranium crunch es in which he specializes. One thing in the "Mask's" favor is that Georges is hot too tall for him to reach with his head butts. He had trouble reaching Pete Belcastro and had to literally cut Pete down to his own size hatnva Via Unm mrt aftatiiiira flanraao oUhnosll. tt nAllrat.tl stature, is not a tall man and you may be sure the hooded hood lum will use this to his advantage. The "Mask," as usual, will not remove his hood unless he is fairly beaten by losing two out of three falls. A technical fall is not regarded by Mr. Stoneface as a valid reason for unmasking and he also refuses to reveal his identity on a disqualification. So if Georges turns the trick that so many have tried to do before him Friday night, he will have to soundly trounce the "Mask" in no uncertain terms. .''.
