Thursday, Jan. SI. 1S4S HERALD AND NEWS EIGHT Huskies Risk Slender Lead I Against Ducks By Tht Associated Press Clinging precariously to a half game lead, the University of Washington Huskies put that slender margin on the line this weekend when they invade Oregon on a trip which may make or break their championship hopes. Washington plays the University of Oregon at Eugene Friday and Saturday nights, then concludes the tour against Oregon State at Corvallis next Monday and Tuesday nights. Coach Hoc Edmundson of Washington will settle for an even break on the road but he may be indeed fortunate if he can achieve it. His Husmes got omy t- uregon in an even sunt wn 'Seattle last weekend, and the steamed-up Webfoots will be even tougher on their home court.!. Oregon State, which got waxed in three . out of four games on Its Inland Empire in vasion, should be rested and ready by the time the Huskies get to Corvallis. All the division interest won't be down in the Willamette val ley this weekend, however. At Moscow, the Gale Bishop reinforced Cougars from Wash ington State take on the sur prising Idaho Vandals in a Sat urday nighter. Since Bishop .re joined the Cougars after three years' army service, they dropped a two-pointer Monday night to Oregon State, then ran away from the Beavers Tuesday night. Idaho won their only previous encounter. If the Vandals can turn the trick again they have a chance to forge into at least a tie for first, place depending, of course, on what happens with Washington at Eugene. Pittsburgh's Grid Pot Rumbling PITTSBURGH. Jan. 31 P) The University of Pittsburgh's smouldering - iootball cauldron was bubbling today with the resignations of all three of the school's assistant - coaches: but there's an "if' attached: --' The trio Charles-(Doc) Hart lig, Bobby Hoel and Stan Olenn told Athletic Director James Hagan yesterday that they "do not care" to continue coaching if Clark Shaughnessy comes back next season as head mentor. Hagan said the three assistants had tried to resign last Novem ber 8 but that he had persuaded, them to remain for the rest of the 1945 -season. He said their action was referred to the faculty committee on athletics. : Shaughnessy said he had 16 official word of the resignations, and added that he would not quit as head coach. - "This doesn't mean we don't want to be associated with the university," the assistants .de clared. "It's just that we don't want to work with him (Shaugh Alturas Quintet Still A Jinx To Lakeview LAKEVIEW The Alturas high-school-quintet, which has been more or less of a jinx to Lakeview high for a number of years, continued in that role last Saturday night when the Braves plucked the Lakeview Honkers, 24 to 23, in a razzle-dazzle game on Hhe local, court ... ,-. Leading 20-16 at the end of the third- quarter, the Braves were hard' pressed in the final stanza when Lakeview came within a single point of tying up the score in the last minute of play. Sherman at center bucketed four field goals to pace the win ners," and Moe with a brace of field goals and gift shots bagged six points for Lakeview. Lakeview's second stringers, however, evened up matters by taking a 37-35 decision from Al turas' B team. Cooper scored 12 points for Lakeview and Burton- 15 for Alturas. ' Monty Stratton . Back In Baseball ' SHERMAN, Tex.,' Jan. 31 UP) Monty Stratton, who was with the Chicago White Sox for four seasons before a hunting accident ended his major league career, has signed a contract with Sher man of the class C East Texas league. Stratton lost his right leg in the winter of 1938 but has been able to handle himself well enough on an artificial limb to do some pitching since that time. Last year he starred in the Houston post semi-pro tourna ment, hurling one four-hit shut out.. - The East Texas league has passed a rule allowing Stratton to have a runner when he gets on base. No Legal Fireworks At Fight NEW YORK,. Jan.- 31 UP) Just as most everyone suspected. there'll be no legal fireworks at Madison Square Garden tomor row night when Freddie "Red Cochrane and Marty Servo bat tle for the welterweight chain-pionship. Early in the week Bobby Quinn, an associate of Fritzie Zivic, brought an action in New York supreme court seeking 25 percent - of Cochrane's earnings on a contract he claims Red signed before he won the title from Zivic at Newark, N. J back in June. 1941. This disturbed Willie Gilzen- berg, Cochrane s manager. He asserted that unless steps were taken to protect Red's end of the purse -from attachment on Fri day, the fight was off. With Cochrane assured $30,- 000 from the anticipated gate of $100,000 if he wins and S50, 000, under a private agreement with Servo in case he loses few of the boys on Jacobs Beach took seriously Gilzenberg's threat to cancel the fight. Sure enough, the situation was straightened out last night. Ziv ic said in Pittsburgh he had talked on the telephone against Cochrane's purse tomorrow. Meantime both boys finished their training with light limber ing up exercises, Cochrane at his Summit, N. J., camp and Servo, a Schenectady, N. Y., lad, at the CYO gym here. Servo is a 5 to 13 favorite. Hockey Player Gets Gambling Hearing TORONTO, Jan. 31 ; VP) Walter "Babe" Pratt's appeal for a hearing on his expulsion from organized hockey has been grant ed by Mervyn "Red" Dutton, president of the National Hockey league. Dutton said it was not yet decided whether the hearing would De field before a special meeting of the board of gover nors or at the board's scheduled meeting in New York February 15. Pratt, " star Toronto defense player, was expelled Tuesday on charges he violated the rules against gambling. He denied he had done anything prejudicial to the game. Oregon Joyvees Still Undefeated EUGENE, Jan. 31 (IP) The Oregon junior varsity basketball squad kept its record of unde feated status clear last night by turning the Farmers Creamery team, Eugene, 67 to 53, for their third win in a row. Del Smith paced the Oregon Jayvees with 15 points but Eddie Salstrom hooped a total 18 for the creamery team to carry game honors. The Jayvees held a one-point edge at the halftime, 32-31.

NEXT THAT'S i BORM THIRTY N6ARSTOO SOON JiflSftiffHX;, j Nostalgia For Cypress Gardens By PAUL HAINES A picture on the sports page of last night's Herald and News showing two men sailing through the air with the greatest of ease on water skis at Cypress Gar dens, Florida, brought back old memories and prompted us to write a yarn about that sport. The names of the two men in the picture were Bob Wheeler and Malcolm Pope. We had never heard of the former man but Malcolm Pope we know well. Several years ago we worked at the Cypress Gardens, a few miles out of Winter Haven, mak ing Grantland Rice Sportlights. Pope was also in the films along with many others. The Cypress Gardens itself was converted from a desolate swamp into one of the outstand ing scenic attractions in the state of Florida by Dick Pope, Mal colm's brother. Canals' are cut through the Gardens with bridges made of cypress spanning the water and one of the stunts this scribe per formed was jumping these bridges on an aquaplane some times erroneously called a surf board. (Aquaplanes are pulled by speedboats while surfboards arc used entirely to ride the waves with no additional locomotion.) In making an aquaplane or water ski jump, a slide is at tached to a "bridge, nailed be tween two adjacent trees, or floated on empty drums, accord ing to the type of jump to be made. The boat then cither takes the rider as close to the Jump as possible it it is floated, or goes directly under the bridge if It is thnt type oi stunt. Skis are harder to handle than a' board because of the two sep arate units which must be con- trolled and the leup that was shown in the picture is nn ex. tremcly difficult one to make successfully. The skis tend to separate while in the air in much the same manner as do the more orthodox, but no less dangerous, snow skis. During the several Sportlights which we helped make, Pope was Nation's Game Population Grows Faster Than Hunters - WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 (,?) The nation's big game popula tion is increasing faster than the number of potential hunters. The fish-and wildlife service reported today that all. animals classified as big game totaled 7, 148,422 in 1943, an increase of 5.9 per cent over 1941. In the same period the human popula tion gained less than one per cent. The service has been makine annual censuses of big game ani mals since 1937. Because of the large number of separate counts involved, reports from the 1944 inventory have not been tabu lated, and the taking of the 1945 inventory has not been complet ed. ... Pennsylvania had the -largest game population in 1943, 1,104, 655 -animals, nearly all deer. Michigan ranked second with 731,407, Minnesota third . with 631,877, California fourth with 597,625 and Oregon fifth with 584.261. Kansas was listed as the only state having no big game.

But even his disregard for per sonal danger was overshadowed by the recklessness of Bob East man, undoubtedly the No, 1 man of all time in this pnrtlculur sport. Bob could devise more ways to end one's sojourn on earth abruptly than any other 10 men combined. We recall that the Grantland Rice people wanted a shot of a boat being smashed to bits. Bob was not found lucking. He found an old speedboat hull, milled two empty butter boxes on the front, filled the boxes with dy namite, and ran the boat head on into a cypress tree.
