We are forced to jump the gun bit on this on and whtn th!i is read Oregon will either be crowned northern division. Pacific Coast conference king or the Ducks will face the Cougars again in a deciding game tomgnt. We think that the title will not be clinched by the Webfoots and that the WSC hoopmen will still be in the Tunning when this is read. Writing In advance of the titular tilt Friday night certainly comes under the heading of laying yourself wide open and we presume the Oregon rooters will waste no time taking advantage of their opening if w prove to be wrong. We will, of course, know by the time tins appears how the battle came out, but we pledge ourselves to run it anyway, right or wrong. Our back is broad and there is plenty of room for the various knives which may be sticking out of it if the Webfoots do it again. Vince Hanson, the Washington State record t riui in start connectine with the bucket and if the Cougars can stop Bob Hamil ton and Dick Wilkins they should have no great trouble winning the second frav and forcing the series to the three-game limit. IF Washington State wins Friday night, we believe the Cougars have enough on the ball to continue to set the pace Saturday and thus capture the toga. If Oregon rooters will notice, we do not say we WANT the State cagers to play it this way, n,r.W that thev COULD do it. Whichever way the tide of victory turns, w wish the winning club luck in the national HCAA tournament as iiprmnnun ei the Pacific northwest and may the best ball team win. Oregon City Provides Upset The scrappy Oregon City Pioneers provided the major upset the year last night at Salem by bumping the Medford Black Tornado, undefeated in 26 starts, by the score of 41 to 40. By virtue of this startling triumph. Oregon City will collide with Washington of Portland in the finals tonight The Colonials had no trouble downing Baker. 51 to 41. We said Tuesday that Oregon City might provide plenty of competition for the Tornado, but we had no idea that the Pioneers would actually whip the rough Medford club. We have also stated upon occasion that we had no use for the type of basketball played by Medford and that we would welcome the defeat of Al Simpson's boys. That has finally come to pass and we are glad, glad, GLAD! , There seems little room for doubt that Washington will now become Oregon prep champion, but whichever team wins, one thing is assured, and that is that Medford will not be crowned prep cage titlist of Oregon. Even though we thought and pre dicted that the Tornado would cop the bunting, we doff the old lid to the Oregon City Pioneers, giant-killers of the 26th annual prep tournament! SALEM. Ore., March 17 (iP) Tho plucky Oregon vny l'i oneers. who squeezed past Med' ford 41-40 last night for the up set of the' year will battle it out with Washington rtign or Port land tonight for Oregon's 1945 basketball crown.

Music by. , . ,.. . , Tulelake Guardsmen By PAUL HAINES The joint was really jumpin' last night at the Klamath arm ory as the biggest crowd of tho year crammed into nil available space to witness the titanic tus sle between the "Grey Mask" and popular Georges Dusette, the r rencn-Uanadian strongman. The bout was officially declared a draw with both grapplcrs gaining a fall, but if ever a man was soundly trounced, that man was Mr. Stoncfacc last night. Dusette cither chased or threw the "Mask" from the ring so many times that the fnns lost count. He deliberately let the hooded hoodlum clamp a full-Nelson on him, and then Swede Star To Try Again In Mile Run By JIMMY JORDAN . CHICAGO.

Tiger Jack Fox KO's Opponent In First Heat of 10-Rounder SPOKANE, March 17 (P) Tiger Jack Fox of Spokane laid claim to his 29th first round knockout win today, a 1 minute 21 second devastation of George Ecks, 175, Minneapolis, In a scheduled 10-round main event. Frankie Gimbcl of Yakima j kayocd Jerry Brown of Portland I in the opening round ' of their middleweight semi-final bout... broke it with ridiculous ease. Ho bounced the masked menace off the canvas so innny times that Mr. Stoncfaco resembled a Mexican juinpliiK-bcan nnd, ill short, it was Dusette all the way. After three rounds had passed with neither musclpr able to cop a fall, the "Mask" resorted to tactics common to his ninny appearances here by. grabbing fistfuls of hair, using his fist illegally, and sawing on the ropes for leverage. Tho com bination of these quaint methods made Georges groggy nnd Mr. Stoncfacc seized his opportuni ty to employ his head butts nnd then tnko tho fall with a half crab. In the fifth round Dusette passed up several chance to use his dreaded nnd powerful full-Nelson- as the "Mask" re fuses to unveil unless he loses two falls. Once Georges applies the Nelson, his opponent is in no condition to continue hostili ties nnd, although Dusette would have won the bout, it would have been on a technical if the "Grey Mask" had failed to re turn to tho ring. No tumble was sained In that canto which saw the hooded heel pedul his bicycle all over the square, in the sixth and final heat, Georges went out after his rival and after pursu ing him all over the ring he finally clumped on a fult-Nol-son amid a deafening roar from the crowd. Mr. Stoncfacc had had more than enough and Du sette hurled him to the canvas, where. he lay, a badly beaten man. In the scml-windup clash, Jack Kiscr was awarded a de cision over Pete Bclcastro by Kcfcrce Wally Moss for the sec ond time in two weeks.' Once again Pete's tactics were beyond reasonable bounds when, after each man had gained a fall, Bclcastro heaved Jack through the ropes twice into the lap of a ringside fan. When Moss at tempted to hold Pcto oif until Kiscr climbed back in the ring, the Weed assassin tossed him to one side, too, and continued to go after Kiscr illegally. At this point Moss stepped in and gave the match to Kiscr to tho lusty approval of the fans. Tough Tony Koss and uioomy Gust Johnson rasslcd to a draw in the opener. The bout was fraught with action and saw Gust grab the first fall with n leg stretch, but Tony took the final fall with a grapevine to even the count.
