Who'll Meet Weidner For Title ... Belcastro - Dusette To In Armory Elimination In the first of a scries of mat ; tattles to determine a fitting ! ihallenger for the Pacific Coast I unior light-heavy wrestling ( title now held by Billy Weidner, Pete Bclcastro and George i Dusette will grapple their way ( through a five round title at ' the armory Thursday night. Both Belcastro and Dusette have held the belt previously ' ind this fact should add zest to , their struggle. The winner of ' their event will be watched with other outstanding grapplers and ' eventually an opponent for Billy Weidner will be selected. Weidner won the belt several weeks ago at the armory in a rough and tumble, fist-throwing clash with Pete Belcastro, the former title-holder. Since that time both Belcastro and Dusette, as well as several other grapple artists, have been clamoring for chance at the title. Another top . bout scheduled for next Thursday is the five round go between Benny Trudel, who pleased fans here recently, and the mysterious Grey Mask nemesis of all the wrestling profession in the Klamath area. In the opener Dorry Dillard , will beat Buck Weaver in a three round struggle. Dillard wrestled here for the first time last week and put on an impressive appear ance. Buck Weaver is popular with most of the audience for his plucky never-say-die attitude about the task at hand.

PARDON US, DODGE.,, PLYMOUTH J SEE f mm Records Topple At Water Tilt Verdeur, Hoogerhyde Set Marks At NCAA Meet By JACK HEWINS SEATTLE, March 3 (!' Joe Verdeur, Ohio State and Hoog erhyde were here. There wasn't a ripple left In the University of Washington pool today to prove it, but the two full-chested athletes and the big team from the Big Nine had left their marks indelibly in the National Collegiate association swimming books by cornering most of the glory in the annual NCAA championships which wound up Saturday night. Verdeur, La Salle university's great breaststroke stylist, twice cracked the NCAA mark In his 200-yard specialty and his feat of winning the finals in 2 min utes 16.8 seconds beat his own recognized world record of 3:19.5. Ohio State, led by its quartet of stellar divers and free-stylcr Bill Smith, buttoned up the team championship for the second suc cessive year with a point total of 66 comfortably above the 39 gathered by second place Michi gan. George A. Hoogerhydc of Mich igan State was one of Uie busiest swimmers in the meet and "Hoogerhyde was here" became the byword of the 1947 -event. The happy lad from East Lan sing plowed the 1500 meters in 19:44.2 to crack the NtAA rec ord of 20:02.2 set in 1944 by K. Nakama. He finished at Bill Smith's heels in the 220-yard freestyle and was fourth in the 440 freestyle. Miller Anderson, war-time fighter plane pilot, did stunts off the high and low boards no airplane could match to win both events and rank as the' only champion to retain his crowns. Placing behind him in both div ing contests were his Ohio State teammates. Bruce Harlan, Jack Calhoun and James Strong, and their 1-2-3-4 finish marked the first time the feat had been ac complished by one team in an NCAA meet. Verdeur first cracked the col legiate standard in the prelim inaries when he qualified for the finals in 2:19.6 to better the NCAA mark of 2:22 set in 1939 by R. Hough of Princeton. His record lasted only four hours when he threw all the powers of his long arms into his Saturday evening performance and led Bob Sohl of Michigan to the fin ish by a third of a laD. Even so, it was not his best time for uie distance Verdeur swam the route in 2:6.4 in a previous meet. Ed A. Kennedy, chairman of tne ni-AA swimming rules com mittee, said both Verdeur's and Hoogerhyde's meet records were offirinl ' Stanford piled up 24 points to take third place, largely through the efforts of the Weed en boys, Alan and John. Alan was second and John fourth in the backstroke and Alan swam a lap in the medley relay which finished third.

PCL Opens Ball Year Tomorrow 4 Million Attendance ; Expected By- Prexy k By BILL BECKER LOS ANGELES. Muren 31 Ml The Pacific Coast league, in lis customary role as baseball's Ice breaker, opens the 1947 season tomorrow, April Fools Diiy. And the PCL, which insists It isn't fooling about major ieanue aspirations, expects the biggest year in its 45-ycur history.- President Clnrenco Rowland predicts that attendance will go over tho 4,000,000 mark, topping lasi years record 3,718,71(1. Rowland forecast the closest race in five years, and observers generally agreed with him, With moat clubs apparently stronger, a five or even six-team battle for the championship is likely. The opening week of the 186- game schedule puts Seattle at San Francisco, Hollywood nt Sac ramento, Portland at Los An- fries, and Oakland at San Diego, econdary openers home de- duis or tne clubs on the road the first two weeks are slated for April 15. Lefty O'Doul's hustling San Francisco Seals, defending champions, are regarded a the team to beat for the pennant again, but many observers see Los Angeles, bolstered by re cent additions from the parent Chicago Cubs, as a prime threat. The San Diego Padres, cham pions of the PCL grapefruit cir cuit; Sacramento Solons, and Seattle Rainiers also appear much improved. Oakland and Hollywood, second and third In 1946. may not be so strong this year. Portland, which tied with Seattle for last place, is gener ally consigned to tne Basement again. But, then, a year ago most of the experts were picking the Beavers, 1945 pennant winners, to repeat. That may be a good omen for new Manager Jim Tur ner, one of four new skippers in the loop. The others are Rio Collins at San Diego, Dick Bartell at Sac ramento and Bill Kelly at Los Angeles. Casey Stengel. Jimmy Dykes and Jo-Jo White go into their second managerial seasons, re spectively, at Oakland, Holly wood and Seattle. For San Francisco's popular O'Doul. it's the 13th year as Seal-steerer.
