Haas, star outfielder for the
Philadelphia Athletics when Dykes

contract to coach for Dykes' Holly

In 1946 he was back with Phthv

system. He will be making his debut
as a manager here.
Gantenbein has played third base,
short and second base, and will hold
down one of those spots on the
Pioneer roster.
High point of last night's session
was the appearance of the three

and a smooth-looking guy. He should
be able to do something spectacular
with the Solons.
BASEBALL FOR KIDS
Mails, who originated the 10 cent
"kids" days for the San Francisco
Seals, was strong in advocating the
same step here. His suggestion prob
ably will be taken up.
BUI Spangler, president of Klam

night that KBI can now lay its
hands on some $25,000, but need
another $15,000 to throw the green
light on park construction and get

The Pioneers can hardly miss

State's defending champions, will
invade Corvallis for a crucial two-
game series against the Beavers
Friday and Saturday nights. The
two clubs will renew hostilities a
week later at Seattle and the out
come of the four games might very
well determine the league's 1948
champion.
The Seattle quintet, apparently
intent on Justifying the experts' pre.
dictions, moved Into the division
leadership by whipping Oregon twice
lust week-end, 48-44 and 56-39.

After playing five games in eight
days, the Orange have been idle
since January 17 with the result
they are well rested for the Hus

ened by the return to the lineup of
Alex Petersen, veteran 6 foot, 5 Inch

five conference starts because of a
bad case of tonsilitls.
With Petersen back In action, the
Beavers will nave some much need

in competition with the other di-
ision members. Gill plans no other
changes in his regular lineup of

of the International Olympic com

committee, announced today that
the IOC voted 16 to 10 to ban both
U. 8. hockey teams from the winter
Olympics and added that the Swiss
would reject the decision. ,
Mayer made the statement to an
Associated Press reporter as he left
a meeting of the International com
mittee at which he said the vote
was taken.
The executive board of the Inter
national committee had ordered the
banning ot both teams yesterday in
a decision which the Swiss also re
jected. Swiss officials In charge of
the games accepted the entry of the
Amateur Hockey association as the
official United States representa
tive, resulting In a bitter protest by
the U. 8. Olympic committee, which
has entered a team of its own.

state game commission said today
that Its closure of the Nehalem,

March 1 to September 15 was neces
sary to protect a declining spring
Chinook salmon run.
Answering protests against the
closure, the commission said a study
had shown spring Chinook lie In
deep pools of those rivers during low
water periods. A halt to angling may
build U.e Chinook run back again,
the commission said.
The November closure of the
Miami river is Intended to protect
