twmid By HALE SCARBROUGH Ray - Trulllger, sports writer for the Elks magazine, delved Into the behemoth bear situation In recent article and ne scons t stories about "650-pound black bears," listing them along with the "my thical" 400 pound white tall buck. He says that the largest ver killed in P e nnsylvania, where bears are reputed to grow big, was Icons iderably short of that poundage mark. The co a 1 - mining bruin was knocked off back in 1933. All we have to say is Mr. Trul liger would do well to get ac quainted with some Oregon and California bears. The biggest black bearskin rug on record, still according to Trulliger's figures, measures three inches shorter, or 7 feet 2 inches, than the Seven Mile monster, but it was some 11 inches wider, probably giving the original wearer of the skin a roly-poly or drape etieci, . It was killed in 1933 up in the Kupreanof Bay country of Alaska. The skuii measured n and one-eighth inches, or an inch longer than the number two or Texas bear brought down for measurement in 1906. For the glory of Oregon and north California we call for some official recognition of local mas- tadons. In defense of Pennsylvania . bruins, a marine informs me that he collided with one of the critters while driving on a pub lic highway. The car stopped dead and the bear ambled away, Ripley's Believe-It-Or-Not re cently told of a Tennessee Hunt er, old-time, who killed 99 bears, and, if third-grade history is reliable, D. Boone also slaught ered one on a tree somewhere in Kentucky. So have lots of other people. a J Martinelli. Lipscomb May Fight Again There has been no announce ment yet today of next week's grapple card but there is a good chance that Buck Lipscomb and Angelo Martinelli may crawl back into the ring together for the main event. The two maulers split last weeK Dut only because Marti nelli refused to accept the deci- (ion on a foul. He was one fall ahead going into the third and final round when Lipscomb floored him oyer near the ropes and began to jump on Angelo's left arm and back, using the ropes occasion ally to give his punishing kicks momentum while the crowd roared for Referee Wally Moss to stop it. Jack was using a technicality in the rules he was making use of the ropes all right, but he actually had no hold on Mar tinelli, so Moss couldn't stop the fight on that account. . But as the torture went along and Martinelli was past making a move to get up, Wally asked him three times if he wanted the decision on a foul and every time Angelo said no. So a fall each draw was the finish. Brutal Jack is one of the Basketball En Masse Slated For Leathernecks, Pelicans Marines Get Crack At Flyers College caliber basketball can be had for the asking tomorrow and Saturday nights at the Ma rine Barracks when the boys on the hill take on the Fairfield Suisin Skymastcrs in a two- game series. The Skymasters have had one of the best service cage teams on the coast all through the war and this year's squad is reputed to be even better than the gang last year which gave the Leath ernecks their best games of the season. Advance notice from Vallejo, Calif., indicates that the Flyers are now moving along the cur rent of a 14-game win streak. The Marines have seven wins in ten starts this season, having lost two tilts to the University of Oregon Ducks and one to the Astoria Navy Flyers. Starting five for the Marines will probably put Art Verment and Doc Zautcke at forwards. Jim Lambert, pivotman, and Jack McNeill and Paul Adams at guards. Verment and Zautcke are the scoring stars of the Leatherneck quintet and the under-the-basket play of Lambert has been a strong factor in the Leather necks' last four or five wins. The public is cordially invited to come up to the barracks to see these games, free of charge, and plenty of parking space right near the gym for all comers. The Marine gym seats 1100 and the boys on the hill want it filled this weekend. Before the main event two teams of the Basin league Ash ley s Chevrolet and Rickey s Jewelers meet on the Marine court That game is set for 7:30 tomorrow night, and another prelim is being arranged for Saturday.

These gumcs are conference tilts. In practice this week the Pels seem to be in good shape.

Tomorrow night a pair of pre liminaries will be played before the varsity match. The Fresh men, coached by Ed Ryan meet the Tulclake B squad at 6 o'clock, then the Wildcats ploy the Californians' A quintet at 7. The varsity game is scheduled to start soon after 8 o'clock.
