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-

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.

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

Game Saturday Night
The Pelicans will play the

conference tourney to be held in

Coach Dutch French drew
Medford out of the hat at Grants
Pass last Saturday night. The
Tornado is Indisputably in first
place in the league, and the Peli
cans' loss to the Cavemen Friday
threw Klamath, Grants Pass and
Ashland in a three-way tie for
second.
The Pels defeated the Cave
men 40-22 Saturday night, but
only the first tilt counted in con
ference play. The last win places
the Pel season record at 19 wins
and five defeats, two to Medford
and one each to Grants Pass,
Ashland and Salem.
In Saturday's game Klantath
held a 10-point lead midway and
skyrocketed from there. The
second string played most of the
fourth quarter. It was a fast-
driving, clean game throughout
Jim Palmer was nign point
man for the night with 12 tallies,
and Gene Hover had seven. Jack

ing with six points.
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.
The latest incident is Nelson's
stretch drive which brought him
a five-stroke victory in the $7300
New Orleans' Open tournament
yesterday, after he had trailed
Hogan by two strokes for the
first three rounds. .
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.
Nelson's total was 277. Hogan
had 282.
Hogan, still on the links when
Nelson finished, went five over
par on the last nine, losing three
of the strokes on the last four
holes. The traps got him.
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-.

out of seven. Ben got $1000 yes
