In Spring
Training
NEW YORK. Feb. 11 (JP)
The earliest spring training cam
paign in baseball's history was
under way with the three New
York representatives of the
major leagues set for workouts
in the south today.
The Yankees have already had
their initial workout under the
Panama sun, while the Giants
begin conditioning in Miami,
Fla., today as do the Brooklyn
Dodgers at Sanford, Fla.
Before the week is over, they
will be joined by three more
clubs Pittsburgh, Washington
and s the Boston Braves. Pitts
burgh and Boston begin training
Thursday, the Pirates at El Cen
tro, Calif., and the Braves at
Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. The Sen
ators start getting into condition
Sunday at Orlando, Fla. All
other clubs follow suit next
week.
The Yankees got the jump on
the rest by engaging in a brisk
workout at their Balboa base
yesterday, with 32 members
sweating off excess poundage as
the temperature hit 87 degrees.
Spud Chandler, who with Floyd
Bevens and Emerson Roser,
shared the mound duties, said
10 minutes work there was
equivalent to an hour's labor in
Florida. The Yankees will
spend three weeks in Panama,
then go to St. Petersburg, Fla.,
where they will remain until
March 3.
Only former servicemen have
betn ordered to report to the
Dodger training quarters, but
other members will not be re
stricted from the grounds. The
regular squad is not required to
report until March 1, when the
camp will be moved to Daytona
Beach. Three more Dodgers
have signed contracts Tommy
Brown, Claude Corbitt and
Barney White.

This is the big week in the
wide-open northern division
basketball chase, with Washing
ton State's Invasion of Oregon
and Idaho's trip to Seattle to
take ' on Washington listed as
contests definitely in the "cru
cial" category.
The stubborn and scrappy
Vandals, apparently fond of the
rarified air of the upper brack
ets, rallied gamely Saturday
night at Pullman to take a 3S-33
win over the Cougars to tie Ore
gon State for top honors.
WSC;wlll play Oregon at Eu
gene Tuesday and Wednesday in
games that may settle the Weo
foots' fate for the season. The
Cougars have no place to go.
The weekend, however, will
supply the main events, with
Idaho and Washington listed for
a pair at Seattle and OSC and
WSC down for two at Corvallis.
Both series are Friday and Sat
urday. , ,
The Vandals downed the Cou
gars on a last-minute field goal
by Guard Bill Carbaugh. They
had, however, been struggling
from behind all evening.
The game was a tight defen
sive battle, with the score tied
at 5-5 midway in the first half.
At that point the Cougars began
clicking and ran the count to
18-9 with a minute left in the
half. A brisk Idaho rally closed
it to 19-13 at the gun.
Gene Sievertson and Vince
Hanson led a Cougar attack at
tha start of the second half that
gave WSC its biggest lead at
25-15.
Then, with the entire Vandal
starting five hitting the hoop,
Idaho came back to tie it at 20
25 with five minutes to go. Gale
Bishop, who scored at a polnt-a-
minute clip for the final six
minutes, put the Cougars ahead,
but Fred Qulnn came back to
tie It up with two minutes left.
Jack Phoenix boosted the
Vandals into the lead and Bishop
again tied it seconds before Car-
baughi winning snot, a leii
handed pusher from the far edges
of the foul circle. Bishop's 15
points were high.
Fees Drop

Stars, 60-46
PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 11 WP)
Fee's Rollerdromes snapped the
Kansas City Stars' basketball
win string of 63 straight here
last night with a 60-46 decision.
Jesse Owens' touring club
trailed all the way.
A fourth-quarter wrangle halt
ed play for 10 minutes but police
and game officials got things
moving again. Scott, the Stars'
center, was ousted and O'Connell
dropped in a free toss to make
the count 45-35.
Patterson and O'Connell tied
for high honors with 16 each,
followed by their teammate, Per
kins, who scored 15. Price led
the Stars with 13 points.
It was the 21st straight win
for Fee's and the 30th win in 31
games this season.
