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.

It was drawn especially for
the Phillies by the well-known

instance on record of a ball club
poking fun at its own infirmities.

what Manager Ben Chapman has
to say.
"We re a-coming un out of that

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.

Rita Martinez a chance to scrap
Blonde Clara again for the title
and would also create more o( a
hiatus In the women's title situa
tion that already exists
Clara's assumption of the title
is under dispute by Mildred
Burke of Kansas City, but Miss
Mortcnsen has possession of the
belt which is the badge of office
and says that if Miss Burke
wants to substantiate her claim
she'll have to leave the mid
west and come out to the coast
to do it.
Miss Martinez Is the number
one challenger on the coast and
if and when Clara defends the
title, Rita intends to be In the
vicinity.
The fiery Mexican girl official
ly ranks about number three in
ladies grapple circles, but is am
bitious to better that position at
the expense of Clara Mortcnsen.
This coming bout will be to a
finish, a win one way or the
other, with no time limit.
The opener Thursday night
pits Tough Tony Ross of Salem
against that popular youngster,
Pierre (Frenchy) LaBclle, for
three cantoes or two falls out of

The main go is scheduled as a
tag team event, the first ever
held in this locality, between
Pete Bclcastro and Red Dawson

Here It Is:
Forwards Gale Bishop, Wash

Bishop, of course, Is the gout
who didn't show here, but you
can't laugh off his 10-gome aver
age of 18.5 points per game.
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

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

Most of the Oregon cheers have
gone to Cant. Bob Hamilton at

here and brother Williamson
stole the show both nights.
