8 Elevens
To Compete
On Coast
Competition In Pacific
Coast Conference Limited
To Inter Sectional Games
SFOKANE. June 12 (-Pi An
nouncements from the Pacific
coast conference meeting indi
cated today that football com
petition for 1945 had been re
solved into an eight-team circuit
as an unofficial report said that
competition will be on a limited
north-and-south competitive basis
rather than split into northern
and southern divisions, as some
had forecast.
Montana university, which
previously had been on the fence,
yesterday dropped out of the
football oicture for next season
and until manpower becomes
available. Stanford university
had announced it could not field
a team this fall. Al Masters,
central .nanaeer of the board of
athletic control at Stanford, re
affirmed that Dosition todav and
added "we will very definitely
participate fully in the football
program for 1946."
Masters said his school would
begin its conference competition
with basketball during the next
season, passing up football. He
explained that a navy program
would be instituted at the school
November 1 too late to add suf
ficient personnel for a football
team.
Scribe Presents Picture
Meanwhile, Herb Ash'ock,
sports editor of the Spokane
Chronicle, wrote:
"Reliable sources who pre
ferred to remain unidentified
said last night the 1945 football
schedule will call for some
northern teams, notably Wash
ington and Washington State, to
travel at least once or twice to
California for football assign
ments, and that the northwest
can expect to seek a like number
of visits from southern mem
bers." The article added that Wash
ington State hoped to schedule
two southern games. Washing
ton, Ashlock said, is seeking to
schedule two southern games as
well as bringing a southern team
to Seattle.
Oregon and Oregon State, he
said, hope to make a southern
trip apiece while the University
of Idaho plans to play only
northern division teams.
Coaches of the conference
teams worked throughout yes
terday on a football schedule
for 1945 but declined to an
nounce any decisions until their
proposals are considered by the
general sessioi. of the conference
sometime today.
Montana Graduate Manager
Kirk Badgely made the an
nouncement yesterday that
Montana would not participate
in football next fall.

Antone Leone
To Meet Ackles
In Semi-Windup
The sertli-windup on Promoter
Mack Lillard's crunch card Fri
day night at the Klamath armory
will pit big, bad, burly, bluster
ing Antone Leone against blond
thi.tched Kenny Ackles, the
"Hollywood Wonder Boy."
This bout will be a perfect
test of clean, scientific grappling
against rough, dirty tussling.
Leone figures to have a slight
edge on Ackles, but it will still
be anybody's fight.
This tiff supports the headline
attraction which features George
Wagner and dtis "Baby-face"
Klingman.
In the opener, Lillard has
secured the services of Paavo
Katonen and the complete card
will be announced tomorrow.

Islesmere club, winding up yes
terday with a final round 68 to
snare the $2000 top prize money.
His 268 for the 72 holes was 20
strokes under' par and estab
lished a new mark for tourna
ment play in Canada.

Me., formerly of Philadelphia,
shot a 67 Sunday, but finished
10 strokes behind in second
place with 278. He won $1000.

given the bonus for signing with
the Boston Red Sox and he was
sent to the Sox's Louisville farm.

Bucky Wolters Belted Out
After Yielding Five Run
In First Two Innings ,
By JACK HAND
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Sherlock Holmes should get
to work on the mysterious case
of Bucky Walters vs. the St.
Louis Cardinals. The baseball
writers are about ready to give
up.
In 1944 when the Red Birds
had Stan Musial, Walker Cooper
and an air-tight pitching staff
that includeo Mori cooper ana
Max Lanier, Walters haa only
to throw his glove on the hill
and the world-champs-to-be
rolled over and played dead.
Six straight times the con
verted third sacker threw his
fast one past Billy Southworth's
gang and never once was nc
beaten. Four of the victories
were shutouts and he yielded
only four runs and 37 hits in
58 innings on the mound.
Now wit l the Cards' b " nins
soiked Musial and Walker
Cooper in the navy, Lanier
wearing a soldier suit and Mort
Cooper in Boston waiters nis
trouble getting the side out in old
St. Lou.
Three appearances against the
world champs have failed to put
anv meat and potatoes on the
Walters' family table. Twice he
was knocked out and the other
time he was ushered to an early
-hower after an argument with
UmDire Lou Jorda in the second
Inning of a 0-0 game.
Pitted against Cha'rlev (Redl
Barrett in last night's only malor
Ueague intest. Burkv was belted
out after yielding all tne runs
of a 5-0 shellacking in the first
two frames.
So the top winner of the Na
tional a year ago when he cop
ped 23 games and tossed six
shutouts, now has won four and
lost six and been blanked four
times. It's a strange twist of
fate.
Despite Cooper's success with
the Braves, Owner Sain
Breadon of the Cardinals can
find justification for the deal in
the fine performances of Bar
rett since he donned a Red Bird
suit The "other guy" in the
Cooper trade has won four of
five for the champs and appears
to be Southworth's most depend
able starter.
With all other clubs idle, the
Cards climbed past Chicago into
the first division on their tri
umph yesterday by only 2s
games.
Bucs. Tigers Have Stuff
Off the records of the first
eight weeks of the season, ap
proximately one-third, only Pitts
burgh and Detroit, the two run
nerup teams, have the stuff to
win on the road where pennant
clubs are supposed to maintain
at least a .500 level.
The Pirates have had a tough
struggle to gain an 11-10 edge
away from home but the Tigers
find the going easier away from
Briggs stadium for a 13-9 road
record.
The Giants have the best home
park percentage in either league,
17-4 for .810. followed by the
Yanks who have lost only seven
of 26 stadium starts.

Shaughnessy
looks Over
Grid Talent
Br ELAINE KAHN
PITTSBURGH. June 12 W
Clark Shaughnessy struggled In
to an old black and gold foot
ball jersey today, brought some
"T"-formation plays up to date
with a few swift jabs of crayon,
and set about molding his third
University of Pittsburgh grid
team.
"We hope and expect to re
store Pitt to the heights in foot
ball, the lean gray-thatched
coach declared. "But, he tern'
pered, "so long as the war lasts,
football is definitely secondary
to the other functions of the
university.
Looking over the 34 fresh'
men. most of them 17-year-olds,
who reported for spring prac
tice, ne continued:
"We're just going to keep do
ing the best we can with the
players available for the dura
tion. We haven't had too much
success, but we've carried on
and maintained our contacts
with leading opponents with the
idea of being ready to pick up
as soon as the war ends.
The "T"-formation's leading
exponent says frankly he doesn't
expect the 19-13 season to be
much different from his first
two terms, during which his
teams collected a record of only
six wins to ten losses.
But there are improvements.
"For one thing," Shaughnessy
commented wryly, "we're not
playing army this season."

MR. FITZ NOW MAKES
SURE THEY'RE DEAD
NEW YORK. June 12 Before
the days of The Jockey Club
Foundation, California Turf
Foundation, et al, it was the
custom, when an Impecunious
turfman died, for a friend to
pass the hat. On one such oc
casion the hatpasser was sur-
Jrised when he approached
ames Fltzsimmons and Mr. Fltz
asked: "Is he really dead?" When
the solicitor had indignantly as
sured the veteran trainer that
the man was indeed dead. Sunny

explained, "The last man I chip

12th week of play tonight with
the critical Portland-Seattle scr

the road heading northward
from California.

When the Beavers opened
their series against tha Ralnlors

ARCADIA. Calif., June 12 OP)
The fifth week of racing at
Santa Anita park opens today
with many signs pointing to one
of the richest short meetings in
turf history.
In the first half of the eight
week session, 564,199 spectators
have crammed $36,816,718 into
the betting machines. This is a
daily average of 28,210 persons
and $1,640,836 in wagers.
Purses totaled $589,000,
daily distribution of $20,450,
which is behind the $35,196.50
average established last year at
Saratoga but with the $100,000

$50,000 stakes coming up, the
Santa Anita average distribu

the record.
