Here's something maybe you football fans hadn't ever thought bSuppose one team has just made a touchdown, and is now trying for the extra point. A pass play is called and the pigskin tossed. A member of the defensive squad intercepts it, breaks way and runs 100 yards for a touchdown. Does he score one point, for a conversion, or six points for a touchdown? ... . . You're wrong both ways. The rule book says that since time is out for the try for point the defending team can't core on the play no matter what the circumstances. All the 100-yard broken field runner would get is exercise and his same in the papers. - e Sports Racket Being Outlawed The Klamath Sons baseball team is dickering to buy the old lights from the Portland Beavers' Vaughn street stadium. The Beavers are revamping their field this year, putting in new lights and such, so the arcs they have been playing under for the past few years may light up Klamath's Recreation field this summer. Up In Salem the state senate has approved and sent to the house of representatives a bill to prohibit the giving or attempt ing to give a bribe to any participant of a sporting event. Bribery and gambling is the hottest news in the sports world today, and the Oregon bill, which provides for a maximum of five years in the stone hotel and a $5000 fine, most assuredly will pass. - Don NeaL the hard-working sports man for KFLW, is em barking on a real public benefit job in broadcasting the Pelican basketball games at the state tournament Don is driving to Eugene and will stick with the Pels as long as they last. 30 HARRIMAN CUP SKI ENTRANTS HAND-PICKED SUN VALLEY.

Ore., March tO (VP) The Oregon State college Beavers were set today for the western regional NCAA playoffs after capturing the Pacific coast conference basketball title de cisively here Saturday night in a second straight victory over the UCLA Bruins. ' Oreson Slate flashed to a quick 3-0 lead, lagged briefly in the first halt while UCLA tied at 11-all and then drove ahead to oust- the southern division PCC contenders for a 63 to 46 final that gave the Beavers their second Pacific coast champion ship in conference history. Thcv won the opening game of the'serics, 69 to 52, the night previous. coacn siatt lain s entry in the March 21-22 Kansas City tournament will be paired with the winner between the Missouri valley champion, St Louis university, and the Uni versity oi Oklahoma, the Big Six conference titliit. The Beavers were paced by Lew Beck as they piled up a 16 point halftime lead of 34 to 18. In the opening session UCLA played a tight game and the Oregon Staters were forced to make long shots, with Beck and Morrie Silver bucketing sensa tional heaves. The only UCLA scoring burst came after OSC held a 5-0 edge in the first few minutes. UCLA's Don Barks dale and John Stanich unlim- bered their shooting arms to recoup and Buccola tied at 1 1-all. That was the last the southern division champions threatened. As the second half opened, Stanich tossed a field goal that looked like the start of another rally, but it faded quickly as Silver and Cliff Crandall scored to break away and the two teams then exchanged scoring. Oregon State built up a 19- point lead before UCLA started slashing away, with Stanich, Rankin and Minor scoring, to cut down the OSC lead to 12 points at 54-42 with three minutes left in the game. But it didn t last. and Rocha heavily guarded all night sank two field goals and Crandall another bucket. UCLA's big Don Barksdale and Hicks added goals for the Bruins as the game ended. OSC s Lphriam Rocha. nor thern division scoring leader, held point honors for the two-1 game series with 32 total and his teammates. Lew Beck and Cliff Crandall, each had 30 points. UCLA's Barksdale collected 28 for the series. Early Indians Of Northwest Were Threat To Fishing BERKELEY. Calif.. March 10 (JP) The fish-eating Indians of the American northwest con sumed so much salmon before the coming of the white man that there might not have been a salmon industry now except for the fact that the newcomers were mainly meat eaters, says Dr. Gordon Winant Hewes. Uni versity of California anthropolo gist. The primitive Indians for cen turies utilized a substantial part of the salmon runs, until the fish no longer was abundant, says Dr. Hewes in a study on the aboriginal use of fishery re sources. The whites, coming in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, caused a drastic decline in the Indian peculation. Hewes said. This resulted in a suspension of large scale fishing for several decades during which the sal mon regained status as an abun dant resource This in turn accounted for the phenomenal growth of com mercial salmon fisheries after the introduction of canning in the 1860's, Hewes said.

Billy Looks To Rough Go Billy Weidner. who is prob ably the best punishment-taker on the northwest mat circuit, and who also can dish it out by the armloads, can expect to be ou the receiving end of a lot o( rough stuff this coming Thurs day night when he meets Pete Belcastro for the Pacific coast junior heavyweight wrestling crown. The meeting is slated for five rounds in the local armory. Bel castro, the champ and senior man of the muscle game around these parts, has forsaken all the intricate arts of grappling in favor of rough-and-tumble. But he can be, and often is, beaten by someone who wants to play the game rough, too. Weidner's recent matches with the Grey Mask and other worth ies bear witness that he'll play rough. Billy's determination -to . see the thing through is exemplified by the fact that in this match with Belcastro he is losing $500 of his own dough, plus shaking for the short end of the purse. The fellow who is champion doesn't work for peanuts, no matter how many sacks of Sam my Gordon's goobers he gets showered with in the ring.

March 10 (1 Carlton Moore, veteran sports editor of the Longview Daily News, today charged the Wash ington State High School Athletic association, which is in charge of arranging the stale class A basketball tourney in Seattle, with "being under the influence of the big city sports writers and without consideration for the numerous small daily newspa pers in the state which are the ones really supporting the prep school athletic program." The charge came us the result of an announcement in Seattle that the drawing for the tourna ment opening this week was being withheld until Saturday night, when the large city Sun day dailies will "scoop" the smaller papers over the state. Moore declared his protest will be circulated to oilier papers and that he - will ask for an earlier type of draw in future years so that teams will know their opponents without waiting for a last minute "secret" draw announcement.
