Beavers, Idaho Still Clutching Conference Lead By The Associated Prtu Both showing the consistency of champions state to which they jointly aspire the casual Vandals of the University of .Idaho and the businesslike Beavers from Oregon State college remained deadlocked atop northern division Pacific Const con ference standings today, with nine wins and four losses apiece. Still in the race, but having to play their remaining five games away from home, are the defending champions from the University of Oregon, currently notched in third place. Out of the race were both Washington and Washington State, who dropped a pair apiece last weekend to Idaho and Oregon State, respectively. This week Washington entertains Oregon State while WSC plays host to Oregon, and Idaho is idle. The Idaho Vandals, who re fused to be stampeded by Wash ington's fire department brand of play, squeezed through with a 40-38 win over the Huskies at Seattle Saturday night, while Oregon State was blistering the WSC Cougars at Corvallis, 54 to 33. The double win marked the first time Idaho ever took two in a row in the Washington pavilion and the games were the first Idaho won in Seattle since 1940. They've only won five since the pavilion opened back in 1930. Down Corvallis way the lanky Beavers started hesitantly and at one time led only 17-14. Then they collected eight points in a single minute for a 27-14 lead that grew to 28-18 at halftime. The Beavers drove hard in the second half, finally achieving a 20 point lead at 43-23, whence they coasted in. Big Red Rocha of OSC took over division scoring honors with 18 points which gives him a total of 159. Gale Bishop led the Cou gars with 13 points, but nine of them were free throws, the Bea- NOW OPEN HIVAY CAFE A. M. (o I A. M.

SEP OB TO Current Grappling Rumor Has Piiuso On Top Of Pile By PAUL HAINES According to information re ceived by this scribe recently, Ernie Piiuso not long ago lifted the light heavyweight wrestling championship of the world from none other than Danny McShane. Ernie performed this feat in a Los Angeles arena and has re portedly defended the belt three times in tour weeks. He appar ently feels the numerous title de fenses is carrying a good thing too -far and entered a protest. Klamath mat fans have watched Piiuso strut his stuff many times in the local bleep bin and he has always been a popu lar gladiator here. Probably Ernie's most punish ing hold is his powerful head lock which he has displayed -to good advantage in northwest rings. Apparently the .hold is as suc cessful in southern California climes as it was in this sector and it may have been just this clutch that stopped McShane. Details of the tiff in which Ernie assertedly copped the crown are not known, but we are checking for further informa tion. We thought this would be of prime interest to Klamath sport enthusiasts so we are pass ing it along for what it's worth. Ernie resided In Klamath Falls for a few years but now calls Portland his home. He has been in the wrestling game for a long time and it seems that he has finally climbed to the top rung of the grappling ladder. We're glad. Ernie is a nice gent. Classified Ads Bring Results.

Management ef Harry Engman Wildcats Decision Honkers By JOHN LARSON Jumping on the tired Honkers in the fourth period, the KUHS Wildcats drubbed Lakeview 50 31 here Saturday, while the Frosh took the measure of the Lakeview Bs in the opener, 24-19. The 'Cats grabbed an early lead but the Honkers threatened to overcome it in the third frame and failed by a narrow margin. The Wildcats were never be hind. Don Cessnun scored 17 times for the winners while Moe garnered nine for the Honkers. The Freshman game set the style for the main event. The Rooks took an early lead which was never headed. In games played at Merrill Friday night the 'Cats staved off a furious fourth-quarter as sault to beat the Merrill Husk ies 30-26, and the Rooks defeat ed the Merrill Bs 27-20 In the prelim. . After trailing 19-8 at the half, a rejuvenated Merrill quintet took the offensive and literally mopped up in the second half. The Huskies outscored Klamath 20-11 and completely dominated the play during the second half, out at no time got into the lead. The Merrill five presented a tough zone defense that stymied the 'Cats in the latter half. Bob Loper, substitute center, led the Wildcats with nine mark ers while Fotheringham gathered 10 for Merrill. The Merrill B outfit gave the freshmen some bad moments in the preliminary but never seri ously threatened the Rooks' early lead. Cale Craig and Jack Lust collected eight points each for tne Klamath juniors and Bow man picked up eight tor Mer rill.

Nelson Cops New Orleans Links Open NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 18 (VP) Byron Nelson is still a bit ahead of Ben Hogan in a 20-year rival ry which started in a contest for a caddy championship and devel oped in a duel for top place in American golf.

Nelson's 33-33 88, six under par and one off the City Park course record which he holds jointly with Henry Picard, ap- Earently took the heart out of ittle Ben, who has a reputation of his own for gallant finishes.

Ben's round was 35-38 73, one above par for the 6539-yard course. . The victory was Nelson's third in four starts this year, and the S1500 Drice broueht his total winning to $8500, only $10 be-. mnd Hogan wno nas won two out of seven. Ben got $1000 yes terday.

S e v e r a 1 tonics aooear definitely to be Drought Dclore the sportsmen for discussion tomorrow night, one be ing the pro posed congres sional measure to require reg istration of firearms with tho federal government under a con fiscatory penalty. 'that law. If Dassed. would make mandatory rcntstratlon of all rifles, pistols and shotguns firing ammunition .23-cal. and above and manufactured since 1899. The idea being to aid the FBI in the expected postwar crime boom, the mesaure actually 5iriK.es too close to nome lor persons' who handle weapons for hunting, trap shooting, target shooting and the like, and also dips into something that normal ly isn't considered much of the federal government's business. There may also be a discus sion of the action taken recently Dy tne niamam Kivcr sports men's association in moving that California non-resident hunting and angling fees be boosted and that the California deer season be opened at the same time the Oregon season begins to keoo Oregon hunters away from Cali fornia deer. a Bock To Ducks Jim Bocchi. who stole the basketball show for Klamath Falls in 1943 state prep tourney, ana tnen went into tne navy, is just about due for discharge, we hear, and will be heading for Oregon and the Webfoots as soon ns he's out. ; Bocchi scored 20 points acnln.it Baker In the title game but did not make the all-state selections. At that time the board selecting the stars made their picks before the final game was played and consequently Bocchl's efforts weren't considered by tho selectors. It was that affair that brought about the postponement of all state selections until after the title game. 560 Beaver Pelts Sold By Commission PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 18 (P) The Oregon state game commis sion Saturday reported sale of 960 beaver pelts for $27,893.30, in the season's second sale.
