SATURDAY, MARCH 6, HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, ORECON FACI TWILVI North Loop Reaches Last Jack Nichols Sets New PCC Scoring Mark SEATTLE, March 0 W" Jack Nichols will be Running tonight for another Pacific Coast conference aU time basketball scoring record. He cracked one last night, stuffing SB points In the hoop as he led the University of Washington to a 17-37 triumph over Idaho. This beat by one point the single game, one-man scoring mark chalked up last year by Oregon States Red Rocha. . Tonight In the season's wlndup game against Idaho, Nichols needs Just 10 points to beat the all-time. 16-game record of 253 points set In 1845 by Vlnce Hanson of Washing ton State. Until tonight. Hanson was leading Nichols by 15 points In the current tally race. Nichols now has 244 against Hanson's 220 and the latter Is through for the Nichols had 8500 coaches last night The crowd was fairly quiet as Washington ran up Its 40-11 half time edge. When the fans realized that Nichols was threatening Rocha's record, they began to make the big fieldhouse Jump with their encouragement. FEED TO JACKIE Whenever big Jack touched the ball they chorused "Shoot." When an other Washington player got the baU, they begged him to pass to Nichols. Nichols played the entire game but Coach Art McLamey used a total of 18 men. Washington took an 11-0 lead at the outset and ran It to 40 to 11 at halftime. Idaho tried to stOD Nichols last night bv keeping two men on him. Dexter Uncle and Wendell Chrlsten aen scored seven points each to lead the Vandals. Washington needs to win tonight's final game of the season ' en more -than Nichols needs to break the icorlng mark. A win over the Van dals will give the Huskies a chance lor a tie for the Northern division crown. LAST ROUNDUP Oregon State and the University of Oregon -Webfoots go into then last roundup tonight before an as aured tumaway crowd at McArthur court in Eugene. The Ducks, out of the race, have become the spoilers of the division and a victory over the Orange tonight would certainly spoil Slats GUI's charges. The Beavers can win the cir cuit's bunting by taking the Web foots, no matter what Washington and Idaho do, but if the Beavers lose and Washington wins the sea son finishes in a dead heat and a playoff will have to determine which team meets California for the Pacific Coast conference crown. Ex-Soldier New Gloves Heavy King CHICAGO, March 6 VP Ex-Army Man Clarence Henry of the Los Angeles team scored a second-round knockout over Wayland Dubose of Nashville to win the Golden Gloves heavyweight crown last night. A capacity crowd of 21,276 in Chi cago stadium watched the bouts which determined the team to meet the New York Glovers in the an nual inter-city matches at Madison Square Garden March 22. Henry, 20-year-old negro serving n apprenticeship in a Seattle, Wash, upholstering school, scored the only kayo in the finals. He Toored his 24-year-old opponent, who attends State Teachers college In Tennessee, with a vicious left and right. Dubose jumped up at the 10 count, but was too late. Cincinnati and Oklahoma City each had two champions. D e s Moines, Kansas City, Chicago and juos Angeies naa one apiece. Posted 108 Leads Blind Golf Match INGLEWOOD, Calif., March 6 UP) Differs and pros alike found it hard to believe when t.hev uw the mn aeore posted by Clint Russel of L.-uiutn, Minn., take the lead In a Bolf tourney here. But their amazement tnrneri n admiration when they found out me u competitors, six Canadians and six Americans, arc blind. They arc playing In the International Blind Golfers' tournament. Russell won the first meet of Its kind here in December, 1948. and appears to have a chance of repeat ing. His main threat Is Bill Oilman of Portland, Me., who Is only two strokes behind as the 64-hole medal tourney goes Into Its second round today. The tourney, sponsored by Blind ctlvltles and Recreation, Inc., of Los Angeles, winds up tomorrow with the winner to receive the Blng Crosby-Bob Hope trophy. Hope will be present to play a round and give the award. First round scores Included: Harris Turner, Victoria, B. C, 81 178.

A strong, adequately-financed snow sports club can do a lot to put skiing in this area on a sure footing, and Dufly has some ideas along that line. Right now skiing at Crater lake. Klamath county's winter wonder land, is on a catch-as-catch-can basis, nothing organised. It niBy be due to a cold attitude toward competitive sports .and large crowds on the part of the park service. Outside of natural scenic beauty, there is nothing at Crater lake to attract tourist trade or winter sports fans comparable to inducements offered by Mt. Hood. Sun Valley or even Santlam. There are no room ing accommodations for large crowds in winter, no full-time public ski tow, no organized competition. Crater lake and Klamath county are missing the boat while tourists and even our local skiers are going to Sun Valley or other resorts for winter vacations. Thankless Task, But Needed One Possibly doing anything to buck the expensive proposition from here is rather like pounding your head against a brick wall, but Duffy plans to do some pounding. Also he'll work with the Pacific Northwest Ski association to try to get some help from higher up in the park service. First off, though, the local ski club needs more members and more to offer prospective members. It Is endeavoring to buy a motor-powered rope ski tow for clubbers to use at the park on week-ends. Later it might break the Ice with small competitions among the members. and still later with acquiescence witn otner southern Oregon clubs.

Paper Says Holding No PORTLAND, March 8 (IP) The Oregon Journel said Friday Joe Kahut, Woodbum heavyweight, has been matched with Pat Comiskey, widely-known fighter, for an April 6 bout here.

The championship game was a close defensive tilt throughout. Charles Boettcher of Roosevelt scored eight of his team's points for game high, while Ron Owlngs and Don Dexter had four each for Mills. Dean Jones coached the cham pionship team, Darrell Potter was th. Roosevelt coach.

Miami's $10,000 International four-ball golf tournament opened today with 32 of the world's best pros participating. And for the next four days you can kiss par goodbye. It takes sub-regulation figures to win holes In this tourna ment. ' Ben Hogan of Hcrshey.

The locker room experts have set th- odds at 9-5, But the team of Bobby Locke of Johannesburg, South Africa, and Lloyd Mangrum of Nlles, III,, Is rated a close second.

Marrh 8 t'v Alvlu Ullacklel Dark, who almost lost his ll(o from malaria and dtp therla, and turned to sports to build up a shriveled body, seems to be the key to the Boston Braves' fortunes for 1048. The cx-LSU collrglun from Lake Charles, La. can either make or break the Braves. If Dark can fill the bill at shortstop, ai. old Boston eyesore, tho Braves stand a good chance to capture tho National league pennant. If he flops, Billy Southworth's men will- be lucky to finish as high as they did lost year when they trailed Brooklyn and St. Louis. Southworth was especially pleased with Die youngster's ability to exe cute double plays with Second Base man Connie Ryan, a fellow Loui.il a.ilan.

If the ring hud been bigger, or If Stojack hud chosen to fight It out Instead of crawling for the ropes on occasion when Lyuam got a hold, It Is highly likely that Lynam would have been packing the top honors. Graded on a point system, If there were such a thing In wrestling. Ly nam would be 30-10 In any Judge's book. Stojack took fall one of the one hour time go In the first three sec onds of the bout when he drop kicked husky Lynam as he came out of his corner and pinned him with a body press for the count ad ministered with aplomb and not much timing by referee Norville Stockstlll. Lynam evened up the fall meter by grabbing his favorite, a grupe vlnc. at the end of 20 minutes. Sto jack took the full count before get ting off the mat, and then started his routine of crawling for the ropes every time Lynam gut a hold close to the grapevine. Final fall when to Stojack when he turned Lynam over with a double leg hold and pinned him with a body slam. George Curtis and Bob Cummlugs fought It out through a four-round opener, the only highlight of which was Ihe fact that It was an opener.
