tho Washington club said he and
the president did not discuss
baseball's future. Mr. Roosevelt,
however, told Griffith he still
favored night baseball.
"He's a night baseball man,"
Griffith asserted,
Tho president told him, he
added, that "You've got to give
me credit for night baseball.
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."

CHICAGO, March 13 (JP)
Major league baseball's presi

this week to confer with office
of defense transportation offi
cials to determine if their vol

permits playing of training camp

President Will Harridgo of

league would, meet with ODT of

ion the schedules could be

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

"When we reached the agree

cut travel of teams by 25 per
cent, it was understood we would
play no exhibitions during the
summer on 'neutral' fields ex

Webfoots Upset Cougars' In First Clash
At Pullman Saturday night,;the Oregon Webfoots upset the
favored Washington State Cougars, 51 to 41, In a whistle-tooting
contest that saw the Webfoots put on a spirited spurt in the clos
ing minutes of the first half to knot the count
at 19 to 19 and then continue the pace in the
second half to capture the first titular tilt of
the playoff for the northern division, Pacific
coast conference crown.
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.
