Tonight's Tilts Should Decide Oregon Store Slams At Washington; Webfoots Go Up Against Cougars i Bv Tha Associated Press It' bit early to come out on two flat feet and assert that one week-end will make a season in the northern division, Pa cific Coast conference basketball flag race, but after tonight and tomorrow night, the fans may be able to point at one of four clubs and declare (with crossed fingers): "There goes the Chaldaho ' the fifth team and defending champion, has dropped seven straight and is unlikely to be the pointee of even the most optimistic alumnus.

Is Oregon State, which has lost only to Long Island U., in Its so-far-brilliant campaign, actually faster than the traditionally fast Washington Huskies? . Is Washington State, which closed the damper on a Washing ton stove that had been white hot, an improving team mat can be expected to finish out the season with a rash of victories aiter a slow start? Is Oregon snapping back for a pennant drive after its twin loss es to the OSC Beavers? You could think of a lot more, but here's one that has Cor vallis and Seattle holding their breath: Which Is the greater scoring machine. Jack Nichols of Washington or Red Rocha of OSC? Nichols, with six games and 81 points, is the present leader in tha division scoring contest. Rocha. well back with SB points, has a comfortable lead for the entire season of conference and non-conference play. He's tallied 183 points in 17 game. Lest this pair think it's a two man race, there's Stan William son of Oregon breathing on their necks. He's second in the divi sion with 78 points in six games and tied for second with Nichols for all games with 180. Another man the WSC Cou gars will have to build a fence around is the Oregon forward, Dick Wilkins, who caught fire in the Idaho games to tally 28 points.

Golf Tourney Money Slashed CHICAGO, Jan. 24 P The ail-American golf tournament set for July 3-6 at Tarn O'Shan ter course probably will go on as scheduled, but Sponsor George S. May will hand out only $30,000 in prize money, instead of 845,000, as originally planned. May said yesterday that he was cutting the tournament booty as a result of the "lack of cooperation on the part of the Professional Golfer's asso ciation." He added that the tournament committee "hopes that nothing further arises be tween now and July 3 that would cause cancellation of the entire event." Boxing Racket Undergoes Probe VANCOUVER. B. C. Jan. 24 (JP) An investigation of profes sional boxing from "every an gle" was under way here to day after a declaration by Mayor G. G. McGeer that Van couver fans "have been played for suckers in recent shows." The investigation was ordered by Supt. Walter Mulligan, chief of the criminal investigation bureau. He said his report would be given to Prosecutor Gordon Scott for action, if any is necessary. The probe was instigated after disclosure that "ringers" had been used in two recent fights .;. Employment Heads Say Situation Good WASHINGTON. Jan. 24 ) Robert C. Goodwin, director of the U. S. employment service, said today he foresees continuing high employment for 1947. Goodwin told ' a reporter his agency's survey of year-end job conditions shows slight rises in unemployment in a number of sections. But he said he was con fident these are mostly seasonal and to be expected. . . "I believe employment will remain high throughout the year," he said. "There is no indication in the labor market of a drop in total employment." - ON SALE Sat. 9:30 a. m. GUNS!

Phone 7013 Clean Team Nabs Match Tough Tony Ross of Salem did his best at the armory last night, but he and Bucko Lips comb couldn't make the grade against the two Williams Fox and Wcidner. They lost the main event tag match two straight falls after taking the first tum ble. After a few active minutes Ross applied his backbreaker drop and press to the form of Billy Fox for the first fall. The deal failed to put Fox out of the action, however, and fol lowing a lively session with all four grapplere muscling in and out of the ring, Billy cornered Ross beyond the pale of help from Lipscomb and floored him with a dropkick and press. Weidner and Lipscomb worked each other over in at tempts to pull the fight out of the fire, and Weidner was there first. He overpowered Lipscomb with a crushing full nelson to decide the match. Billy Goelz won over vener-, able Bulldog Jackson on a foul after five rounds of dirty work by Jackson. Bulldog started off early by jumping the gong and flooring Goelz before the official start of the first round, but a fall wasn't accomplished until the second verse when Jackson negotiated a stamping hammerlock. In the fourth Goelz had his turn and caught Bulldog in a backbreaker. Referee Wally Moss could stand it no longer and gave the bout to Goelz in the fifth after Jackson inststea on eye-gouging.
