OUtENT FWE s EWTHv TO im LnJ UlDPIIIflD UPCOMING University of Oregon frosh cagers closed thair schedule last week wltb IS victories and only three on the red side of the ledger. Highlight of the Duckling campaign was a sec ond straight series victory over the Oregon State college rooks. This year the Oregon yearlings won three out of four tilts after taking all four during 1939-40. Next year Hobson will have, in addition to what's left from his current varsity squad. Bob Newland, once of Medford; Lloyd Jackson, 6-foot 7-inch center from Dallas, Ore., and Soger Dick, forward from The Dalles, as well as four or five other presently frosh cagers who are all native Oregonians. Hobson, says a press release from Eugene, will have no time to catch his breath after the close of the northern division hoop season this weekend. The Webfoot mentor has a full schedule mapped out for the next month. As a member of the NCAA tourney commit tee he will attend the western regional playoff series in Kan sas City on March 21 and 22, fly from there to New York for the annual conclave of the National Basketball Coaches as sociation, then fly back to San Francisco to loin the Oregon hoopers for a three-week trip to the Hawaiian islands. After that It's baseball season. INDIANS AGAIN? Two long yellow sheets from Don Liebendorfer, director of Stanford publicity, landed In the office the other morn stat ing the Indians have one of the best balanced baseball squads in years. Whether this means the Palo Alto lads will continue their 1940-41 athletic sweep and cap ture the coast diamond leader ship we don't know. The Stan ford publicist claims the Red akin infield is composed largely of veterans, a freshman will probably grab backstop duties from two of last year's boys, and Quentin Thompson, one of the best coast college chuckers in years, is back. Liebendorfer didn't mention hitting. JUDGE DUNCAN ILL BURNS, Ore., March 7 (UP) Robert M.

OREGON BABIES LIVE WASHINGTON, March 7 (UP) Oregon led in reducing infant mortality during 1939, a report of the census bureau showed to day. Oregon was low among states with 35.5 deaths per 1000 live births, while New Mexico had the highest rate with 109 deaths per 1000 births. Wolves and other animals that hunt have flat-tipped noses, with the nostrils in front and close together. .

The half ended 27-12 with the Klamaths ahead. Once around the turn and it was more of the same. With the score standing 42-18 in mid-fourth-quarter Coach French and Bend Coach Neilson both shot in three subs who brought it to the 42-21 final. Both Sides Alert In team play the game was al most a standoff. Both sides play ed an alert, smooth passing game. Interceptions of enemy passes were frequent but it was the Pelicans' ability to capitalize before the Lava Bears could throw up an adequate defense that spelled the difference. Con trol of the ball was about evenly divided but only occasionally could the feinting Bears sift through an almost impenetrable KUHS backwall. Forced to fall back on long archers from mid-court, the col lective Bend eye fell back in proportion. Outstanding for the Bendmen were their two tall boys, Nicar and Douglas. Together the two counted 14 points, two-thirds of the invaders' total. Nicar was particularly effective under the basket. Next week It's the state tour nament for the Pelicans. They'll leave from here Tuesday morn ing for the four-day meet which opens Wednesday and will face Roseburg in the first round.

During the first half the lead changed hands five times, but the northern division champions took a 30-26 halftime lead and held the advantage to the end.

Dean flew up to scout the Cougars before the Cards play here for the coast conference title. Dale Gentry of WSC led scor ing with 12 points, while Hall and McNutt of OSC had 10 each.

At one time in the second per iod, Washington held the 20-point lead of 47-27, but eased off to ward the end. At the half Washington led 23 to 16. Oregon's Vic Townsend, who needed 32 points in tonight's and tomorrow's game to set a new division scoring record, saw his hopes disappear as he went out on fouls after scoring only five, leaving him 27 for tomorrow night. Early in the game Oregon led 6-1, then Washington caught up at 10-alI and ran it to 20-10 while the Webfoots failed to click.

Skiers Cecil Drew IS AJti r i Gordon Cun- r"T T V r U " U Fred Schmidt Entries were virtually complete Friday for competition In Sunday's combined Crater lake slalom and downhill championships in the national park. Highly regarded on the basis of his last week's 29.4 second run for a silver slalom medal is Jim Coonan (center), Cecil Drew, (top, left) is the defending champion and co-favorite with Gordon Cunningham, (top. right), Fred Schmidt lower left, and Al Carlson, lower right, second in the 1940 slalom and downhill, reipee tively. are ranked as the most likely to stage an upset. Skiers Set Plans for Title Tourney; Cunningham, Cecil Drew Favorites Meet Starts At 1 1 O'clock Sunday Morn Plans Friday were nearly complete for the coming Crater Lake Ski club's combined sla lom and downhill champion ships which will be held next Sunday, March 9, on Garfield mountain at Crater lake. The downhill, first race of the day, will begin at 11 a. m. and will probably start from the rock cliff at the head of the slide. If snow conditions permit the starting gate will be moved higher. First heat in the slalom will be started at 2 o'clock and run off as rapidly as possible. A ; more wide open course has ! been promised this year by 'tourney officials after com plaints from skiers and specta Itors on last winter's setup. To date nine entries have I been turned in to Matt Finn! Igan's sporting goods store, in cluding Cecil Drew, 1940 com jbined titlist; Gordon Cunning ham, third in last season's sla lom; Al Carlson, 1940 downhill runnerup; Fred Schmidt, 1940 slalom second, and Jim Coonan, one of only two silver medal winners in 1941s current silver slalom competition. On the basis of form thus far displayed this season, Cunning ham will be a hot favorite to walk off with Drew's crown. Galloping Gordon placed high in the all-Oregon class B meet held on Mount Hood last month and holds the course record for the silver slalom. Young Drew, however, last year was conceded only an out side chance, and this season won the Oregon class C slalom on Hood. The high school skier returned this week from a four day vacation at Sun valley. Close up will be Schmidt and Carlson, both veterans of Crater lake skiing. Of the two Schmidt is given the best chance of upsetting both Cunningham and Drew. Jim Coonan, who last Sunday approached the sla lom course mark with a :29.4 run, looms as a possible down hill winner and, with a break in the slalom, may finish on top. Prizes for the second annual tourney are being donated by Finnigan and White Stag ski clothes, the latter through Rudy's Men's store and the Town Shop. A gold cup for the permanent possession of the combined champion and medals to the first three place winners are being put up by the sports equipment dealer and a giant traveling trophy by White Stag. The White Stag award is cur rently on display at Rudy's. Drawings for starting posi tions will be held at Matt's at 7 p. m. Friday evening. 21.000 LOST CAIRO, Egypt, March 7 (JP) Italian losses in the three-week old British campaign in Italian Somaliland number 21,000, in cluding those killed and taken prisoner, the British announced officially tody.r llaeo for Club Title Boston Witnesses Try 'Facial Blackouts' Pawing dismissal when they testified Mass.. on a proposed minimum wage two of whom are shown above, wore girls were brought to the Ilitrrimnn Spnt To England To Ilppresent I'lHl ISTANBUL, Turkey, March 7 (IP) Inspired Turkish news papers warned the nation strongly today against accept ing German assurances and de clared the spread of the war to the Balkans seemed inevitable.

Santa Anita 'Anti-Climax' Runs Saturday LOS ANGELES, March 7 (IP) Santa Anita's "anti-climax" race, the $50,000 San Juan Capistrano handicap, comes off tomorrow and the prospects arc that the largest crowd of the meeting will Kirn out for this long mile and one-half battle. The starting field .was prob lematical, but track officials ex pected it to be large and num bering most of the contenders which raced a week ago in the $100,000 Santa Anita handicap. Bay View, Tony Pellctcri's $1500 colt which captured the "hundred grander, was a nonv inec, but once again he may be overlooked by the handicappers, just as he was a week ago. Most observers doubt that Bay View, the 58-to-one shot winner of the big race, can travel the added distance tomorrow, recalling that he was all out to win last week at a mile and one quarter, DIDN'T LIKE BEER SPOKANE, Wash., March 7 (UP) Donald K.
