Vandals Trip Webfoots 50-46 To Hold Margin STANDINGS ... yj Idaho 10 4 Oregon Stat 10 5 Oregon .. S 8 Washington 6 10 Wah. State 5 10 MOSCOW, Idaho, Feb 26 (fP) The University of Idaho basket. ball team and the Palousc Hills hereabouts had a lot in common today they re both still rolling and one is about as hard to get over as the other. Orecon's defending northern division basketball champions knew all about it after bowing to the league-leading Vandals last night, 50 to 46, and if there's anything in this legend about the mountain coming to Mahomet they'd like to make the guy's ac quaintance before bumping into ldalio again tonignt. It's enough to drive a high' geared, speedlined basketball team to clipping paper dolls, the way this Idaho outfit plays like picking up basketball titles was as easy as scrapping a raw po tato. This in spite of the fact only one of the starting Idahoans Fred Quinn was even born yet when the. Vandals won their last noop title us years ago. Of course. ' the thine isn't in the bag. Oregon, smarting under the sting of three straight aeieais on its current western junket. would delight in cutting the bot tom out of the bag this evening. Another win for Idaho would as sure it of at least a tie for the championship. Coach Babe Brown's take-it-easy boys played see-saw with Oregon through the first half last night, took a 29-27 edge at the midway spot and ruled the play for the rest of the route. The visiting Webfoots knotted the situation once, at 35-35, but angular Jack Phoenix served no tice that such foolery wouldn't be tolerated by scoring five quick Idaho points. Oregon shaved the margin to two points at 48-46. but Idaho went into a stall with five min utes remaining and when Idaho stalls, the enemy might as well use the time to count its end of the gate. The only Webfoot bright spot was the scoring of Dick Wilkins. who bundled 15 points into the netting and hopped from seventh to fourth place in the league standings with a season's total of 155.

AP wirephoto. a Phillies Not Kidding About Coming Out Of Basement MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 26 (P) Tacked on the wall of the Philadelphia Nationals' club house here is a large cartoon of a ball player with a "P" on his shirt coming blinkingly out of an old-fashioned cellar, a bat over his shoulder and a bemused ex pression on his face. It was drawn especially for the Phillies by the well-known sports cartoonist, Willard Mul' lin, and it will be reproduced on the face of every score card sold in the club's home parK this sea son. It not only is about the first instance on record of a ball club poking fun at its own infirmities. but it also sums up graphically what Manager Ben Chapman has to say. "We re a-coming un out of that cellar." declared the old Yanxee outfielder, who wound up his claying career last year as a pitcher of parts.

Ortiz KOs Castillo At Frisco SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26 0P) Fiery-eyed Manuel Ortiz, defend ing his bantamweight champion ship of the world for the 13th time, knocked out Louis Castillo, Mexican challenger, in the 13th round last night after punishing him mercilessly most of the way. The plucky 24-year-old chal lenger, who did most of his fight ing in the third and fourth rounds and then took the cham pion's fusilade of punches with only occasional retaliation, took the count on one knee. Ortiz weighted 1171, Castillo 1171. From the fifth round Ortiz practically commanded the ring, and in the 12th he hacked the Mexican to his knees. Castillo came back almost blinded in the next round and went down on a right punch to the body in one minute 31 seconds. Ortiz, 29, came out of the suc cessful defense of the title he won from Lou Sallca in 1942 with scarcely a sign of a tussle.

Pomfret was without doubt the most aggressive ballhawk to play here. The Cnnadiun is u fighter all the way, a good shot and a better than 50-50 choice in any ball scrambles on the carpet. Phoenix looked the most ef fective of the assortment of out size centers. Quinn has been listed as a forward all season, but tho dis tinction here appeared mostly academic. Teamed with Phoenix, tho Dalr provided most of tho Vandal magic in setting up the, plays. Most of the Oregon cheers have gone to Cant.
