MONDAY, FEB. ?, 1948 OREGON leavers Tumble Again; EClamcrth Takes Cavemen Shiftina Zone Defense Stops Orange Quint Vandals Add Page To Week's Records By Clipping Ducks SEATTLE, Feb. 9 W) Heading into the home stretch of the north ern division Pacific Coast conier ence basketball season, it was Wash ington State. Washington and Ore gon State all in a bunch today. Only a game separated the first place Cougars from third place OSC. Washington State carried into the lead this weekend as the first erstwhile scintillating Oregon State Beavers were stopped cold by the Washington Huskies and Coach Art McLarncy's shifting sone defense. The Huskies' twin win, by scores of 52-26 and 27-24, tumbled the Beavers Into third place and com pleted Washington's rout of Oregon entries on the Seattle floor. Earlier the Oregon Ducks came to town In first place and left in fourth. Idaho's Vandals, who continued their specialty of upset wins with a 65-52 triumph over Oregon Satur day, occupies the center of the divi sion stage this week. And if ever a spot presented itself for an upset this is it. COUGARS AT IDAHO The Vandals play host tomorrow night to the leading Washington State Cougars. Coach Jack Friel's pace-setters knocked over the Ida hoans three times this year, but the final win was by but a single point. After the single tilt with WSC, Idaho makes its four-game swing into Oregon. The fourth place Ducks provide Friday-Saturday competi tion with Oregon State as the Monday-Tuesday welcoming committee. Washington's week-end triumph over the Beavers was as weird an exhibition of basketball as could be imagined in an era when 60 and 70 points is not uncommon for a losing team. Frequently five and six minute periods would pass without a shot being attempted, and at the start of the second half Saturday Oregon State went 11 minutes be fore it made a free throw its first point of the half and 11th of the game. LIGHT SHOOTING No player broke into double fig ures, Sammy White leading Wash ington with eight and Cliff Crandall topping the Beavers with six. Both teams wound up the evening with Identical marks from the floor, nine shots made out of 25 attempts. OSC tried but seven shots In the first half and made four. Idaho, after a brief 2-0 deficit, was never headed or tied by Ore gon until Rog Wiley tipped In a rebound with nine minutes to go to make It 40-40. Preston Brimhall, Idaho guard, netted a foul shot and Idaho was away again, never to be caught. Dexter Linck, Vandal for ward, took the night's point honors with 22, six more than Wiley hit for Oregon. Former WSC Siar On Mat Prankie Stojack, present holder of the Pacific Coast junior heavyweight wrestling championship, will make his first appearance in Klamath Falls Friday night when he takes on Georges Dusette in a five-round main event match at the armory. Promoter Mack Lillard said that Stojack, who is only a part-time grappler, is one of the best Im pounders in the business, on a par or even better than most of the fellows who follow the trade all the time. Stojack, former Washington State college football player and AAU wrestling champ, has a sporting goods business in Tacoma to attend to so' just wrestles professionally when the mood strikes him. He won the coast junior heavy crown from Boston Jackie Nichols in Yakima some six week ago. Salmon Run Holding Off ASTORIA,' Feb. 9 (flv-If your fanciest lure has failed to snag a salmon these past weeks, don't be come too discouraged. Columbia river fishermen have been hauling in nets empty of sal mon for two weeks of the commer cial season. The city's largest can nery received exactly three salmon for canning In that period. The fresh salmon markets have had no salmon. American Legion Regular Meetings 1st and 3rd Tuesdays. (:00 p. m. Veterans Memorial Bids., 4lh and Klamath. Club Rooms 221 Main., nest to Millard hotel.

Jack Meissner by name, plans to take his trustv skis this week and trudge and slide from Government camp up at Mt. Hood to Crater lake, a trip of some 300 miles down the backbone of the Cascade range of mountains, north to south. Meissner figures on starting his daring and somewhat foolhardy Jaunt Friday the thirteenth, just to make the stunt even more reckless. He Plans to take 29 or 30 days, travel by daylight, sleep by dark and sub sist on provisions toted in a 55 pound rucksack on his back. In addition to his 7-foot skis. Jack's equipage for the overland journey will include a light sleep ing bag. a tent, various items of ex perimental ski clothing, dried and concentrated foods. He's planning the trip so as to reach a forest serv ice shelter most nights, but some will have to be spent In the open. He'll replenish his supply of grub a couple of times. The Eugene civil air patrol will try to keep an eye on Meissner from the air. following his red jacket through the primitive and perilous country so he won't completely disappear from the face of the earth on his solo trip. Too many people have already been lost In the Cas cades one way or another. If he makes the trip successfully. Jack won't have proved anything much except that it is possible and that he's a very good man. It s hard to visualize 300-mile mountain traipsing as a coming pass-the-tlme for Sunday skiers. Dutch's Wife Was Also Busy While Loren IDutch Simons. Klamath Union high school wrestling coach was up in the Willamette valley last Friday displaying his mat squad in a dual bout at Salem. Mrs. Simons was home attending to a vastly more important matter of production. A son the second was born to the Simons' family at Klamath alley hospital Friday afternoon. The youngster weighed pounds and 1 ounce when he entered the ring. Five Pels Picked For Titles KU wrestlers got a draw in 12 scraps with Salem maunen Friday, so still rate right at the top in the high school sport. Wrestling was recently declared a major activity at Klamath Union high school and Dutch is bent on getting out a state championship team the first year. There is a state tournament in that endeavor, too. coming off at Oregon State the first week-end in March. Simons figures he has five boys at least who will go all the way in their divisions. They are Ken Karnes. 95-pounds; Bob Shirley, 105-pounds; Vern Ericks, 145-pounds; Bill Mosby, 155-pounds; and Bob Simmons, heavyweight. Most Will Be Young Fellows Mel Carpenter, business manager for Klamath Baseball Inc., Is in Redding today attending to Far West league affairs and may come home with the names of some players who will perform on the local diamond this year. Joe Gantenbein, skipper of the team, is due back In town shortly and may have some more. In all probability 90 per cent of the fellows who'll don a Klamath uniform this summer will be 18-year-olds, just starting out in pro fessional baseball. There may be a few Journeymen, but not many other than Gantenbein, who'll play an infield position. CAGE SPOTLIGHT PUT ON NOTRE DAME TILT NEW YORK, Feb. S m With several major collegiate basketball conference races still jumbled and others finally straightening out after weeks of scrambling for leadership, attention turns to an important in Indian Lou Honor Guest CLEVELAND. Feb. 9 (VP Lou Boudreau, baseball's premier short- iii h. hnn,r tichf o. Cleveland's man of the year in the diamond snort. The local baseball writers weren't j certain what uniform Boudreau , would be wearing this year when j they selected him for the award last i fall. I Indian fans were startled when ! they learned the fancy-fielding manager might be traded to the St. Louis Browns. Reaction from the customers was so ominous that Club President Bill Veeck made a flying trip from New York. The furore died down when Veeck signed the former University of Illi nois athlete to a two-year contract last December, and tonight they'll both be at the speakers' table. S0CE Gets Title ASHLAND, Ore.. Feb. 9 fli ' Southern Oregon College of Edu- ; cation held a tight rein today on 1 the Far Western Basketball confer- ' euce title.

As for the other major conference races, the picture is clear in some cases and muddy in others. North Carolina State stands out in the Southern conference with a 6-0 record, Baylor tops the South western loop (8-0), Kentucky has forged to the front In the South eastern group (4-0), and Brigham Young (6-1) seems headed for the Mountain 8tates crown. The Big Nine, Big Seven and northern division of the Pacific Coast conference are putting on an upsy-downsy show, with plenty of fireworks promised in future en gagements. SALE!

That opens March 16. Of course the Pels need one mure victory, or one more loss on the part of Grants Pass, to make It official, but with four more contests for each team In the next three weeks one or the other should happen to clinch the title. Saturday night the Pelicans shaved Grants Pass' mathematical chance of district honors to the barest sliver with a 39-22 come- fiom-behind victory. The Pels have j eight wins and no losses In the con- , ference, the Cavemen four and four. TIE AT WORST Should the KUHS quintet sud denly come apart at the joints and lose each of the four remaining games, and the Cavemen win llu'lr four, the net result would be a tie.

I Here at home. Saturday, the Pell- j cans played to a crowd only slightly smaller than the probable all-time record gathering of the night before I and ran Into real trouble before ' starting a surge that resulted In a lop-sided score. Neither side hit a basket for four minutes but the Cavemen picked up enough free shot completions to take the early lead and be on the right side of 9-5 at the end of the first quarter. The Pels wrote that first period olf as a bad experience and started playing basketball In the second. Jack Kennett finally pushed in a couple of ringers from the charity line to tie the score at 14-14 for half time. v .-, HELD TO NOTHING A remarkable exhibition of de fensive play featured the third pe riod, with Grants Pass being held to absolutely zero. Kennett fired through a tangle of arms to give KU the lead, Don Zaroslnskl and j Eo Whitnev each contributed lav- I tips to make the score 20-14 for Klamath at the end of the period. All 10 boys on the floor as well as another dozen or so on the bench and some 1300 fans In the casn seats were as nervously tight as ceil springs that spine-tingling pc- riod. but the fourth quarter was a relaxation for the Pelican nH boosters. The Pels loosened up and scored almost at will. Jack Kennett was again high pointer for Klamath, but was down to 14 as compared to his 20 the eve ning before. Vernon Craft, an ex cellent Caveman ball-handler, wai high for Orants Pass at 11. The preliminary game was an other rout. Klamath Junior varsity clubbing Chiloquln high's Pan thers, 55-30.
