THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, JAN. 22, I937 BRINGING UP ZATH] AKE ME OREGON STATE CLASH TONIGHT Important Games Are to Be Played in N.W. Pacific Conference SEATTLE, Jan. 22—Victorious in their opening conference competi- tion, the University of Washington basketball team will meet the Ore- college quint tonight and w in Seattle. tomor By Idaho series only undefe ated team in phe con- ference. Oregon and Washington State split their series, while the Cougars won both games from Ore- gon State. The Idaho series proved that the Huskies have a long way to go be- fore they reach the scoring ability of past Washington teams. In the first game against Idaho only 24 points were scored by the Purple and Gold hoopsters, and it took ex- cepticnal defensive play to keep the idaho score to 17. Tough Competition In practice during the past week, a team of reserves has béen giving the first string of Loverich, Gannon, Voelker, Egge, and Captain Wagner, the toughest of competition. Last year’s freshman team forms the basis of the reserves, with Harry Lockhart and Bob Door at forwards, and George Ziegenfuss and Pat Dor- | sey at guards. Ross Warner, var- sity letterman, fills the center spot. The Beavers will miss their spark nning both games. of the ! the Huskies begame the | A =8 HE WAS VOTED N WE OUTSTANDING \ _L4ST vEAR HE WON TOP SCORING HONORS \ plug cf the last threg seasons, Wally | ~ Palmberg, who last fyear set a new northern division scoring record.

Foxy Mentor Teams coached by Slats Gill are‘ always feared by Washington, as the foxy Oregon State mentor is always cooking up something new in bas- | ketball strategy. His greatest coup| was staged here last year in the| Olympic Games tryouts, when his| second place Northern Division team | defeated the conference championm from Stanford. | Northwest fans still remember | that game, and how Gill outsmarted Coach Bunn of Stanford. Knowing his team could not keep pace with the speedy, tall, sharp-shooting In-! dians, Coach Gill gave directions to {freeze the ball whenever his boys| got it. Thus the Oregon State team drove the Indians frantic, by passing | the ball around without attempting | to score. After six minutes of score- | less play the Beavers suddenly drove | in to score, and the continuation of this “waiting for the breaks,” brand | of basketball won the game for Ore- gon State. ———— — PROS SHIFT GRID STARS WiTH LUCK NEW YORK, Jan. z2—Converting players from one position to anoth- er has worked out fér the best in at least three instances in the Na- tional Football League. John Del Isola, a center at Fordham and last year with the New York Giants, was put at a guard post late last ceason and is now one of the best in the circuit at that position. The same is true of Buckets Gol- f'enberg, Green Bay Packers, shift- ed from fullback to guard, and Del-| bert Ritchhart, guard and end with Colorado University and now center on the Detroit Lions. TROJAN SKATERS LEADING FIELD LEWIS KNOCKS ART SYKES 0UT IN ROUND SIX [Champion nght Heavy-| weight Wins His Bout Easily Last Night PITTSBURGH, ks, Jan. 22. — John Henry Lewis, of F<.sburgh, light heavyweight champion, won easily last night over Art Sykes, Cmcago light heavyweight. Lewis scored a knockout in the sixth round of the rsatch scheduled to go ten rounds. Lewis weighed 186 pounds and Sykes tipped the scales at 188 pounds. Sport @l_ants Bu PAP’ The fact that two years ago Dave (Sweeney) Schriner of the New York Americans was named the out- standing rookie of the National Hockey League failed to jinx the youngster from Calgary. He came right back last season to lead the league’s high scorers with 45 points, This is Schriner’s third year with | the Americans and it looks very much as though he is on his way to make good the predictions that he is destined to become one of the greatest left wingers in hockey. | There are plenty of Schringer sup- porters who insist that he already rates with the greatest portsiders. The king of the National League marksmen has improved steadily as he has picked up needed experience in the major league. The fact that opposing defense- men are laying for Schringer, hasiand Blue only served to inspire the young- YOU HEARD WHAT | SAID - [ TAKE ALLTH'S STUF-"E OFF SK-TOMMY- P T TH' BOOK5 IN TH' VAULT-GET ALL THAT MAIL ASSORTED- WORK DONE | WANT SOME To a certain de- skating ability comes naturally, but he is more than just a fine skater—he is a real stu- dent of the game. changing pace. gree his unusual Gets His Rest Even in the oif-season Schriner lays the groundwork for the winter | campaign. The hockey season ‘lung and arduous one, so Schrine; | takes a rest, confining his sum- |mer efforts to fishing and golf.| Two many hockey players, accord- ‘mg to Schriner, work hard in the | off-season with the result that they | return to the hockey wars almost 'as worn physically as when they quiet at the end of the previous sea- son. Don't get tne impression from Schriner’s great scoring record that ‘he is merely a fine individual play- jer. He is not, for when it comes to working with his teammates there isn't a more willing worker ,in the league. The great success the Americans enjoyed early this season was largely due to the fact that opposing defensemen beat themselves by concentrating on try- ing to stop Schriner. That made it perfect for the rest of the team to \put over winning scores. And it was | Schriner who took advantage of the | situation to set up shots for his team | mates. The surprising form shown by the Americans in their early season ice battles has been the talk of the National League circuit. The team started the season working under| the handicap of not knowing exact- ly where the club stood in the mat- ter of a franchise or who was or who might be heading the club. The club’s business affairs were in a badly muddled state, but that didn’t stop the lads from going out at the opening bell and giving an excellent account of themselves. The sign on the blackboard in the Americans’ dressing room indicates the spirit of the team. It says: “Boys, the news for the 1936-37 reads the same: ‘Keep punching, and hard!"” Cornell Comes Back For 40 years Frank Sheehan, vet- eran trainer of the Cornell football squad, has sat on the bench and atched his charges battle the Red of Pennsylvania on |Thanksgiving day.

Henning's top total was 567. The second match saw Louis Delebecque, upholding alone the might of Min- nesota, go down to an odd game defeat before Drake, despite his marks of 211 and 557, botl of which won place honors for the night. Jack Elliott’s top 220 was the big factor in Drake's win, though Mrs. Percy Reynoids played a large part, leading the ladies with 519. In the final, the Navy closed its season with the colors of the fleet riding high, as the result of a two out of three game win over Susquehana.
