1 01 in of vs. Feature A.C.A.L. Games By BILL DUNBAR Alameda High School and the Berkeley Yellowjackets have made an interesting event out of the Alameda County Athletic League ketball race. The two schools scored stunning victories yesterday afternoon to give Berkeley a sure tie for first sin the league and to leave 1 the Alameda Hornets one more game play before it can share the title with Berkeley. The Hornets started yesterday with a tough game ahead when they.

At the Yellowjacket court, Berkeley welcomed El Cerrito and easily took the contest 59 to 24, with Ken Cameron of Berkeley breaking the league scoring record, which had first been set in 1941 by Andy Wolfe of Richmond High. CAMERON NEW CHAMP Wolfe's record Was 150 points, from Piedmont time after time. BERKELEY EASILY WINS and was tied last year by Bill Wirt of Alameda.

Yesterday Cameron came through with the necessary extra points and raised his season total from 134 to 152 for the new record. The Richmond Oilers met the Cougars at the Albany court in afternoon game, and the Cougars took a close victory, 33 to 28, to give them a perfect record in the second round of play. The Alameda squad, realizing the importance of a victory over Piedmont, started the game in an excited manner, and the Highlanders took a seven to three lead at the end of the first period. But from then on the game got too fast for Piedmont. The Hornets played their finest defensive game of the year, and stole the ball The Berkeley squad took advantage of a weak El Cerrito outfit to feed the ball to Cameron in his record-breaking attempt.

When he tied the old score it was on intercepted pass by Babe Van Heuit, who raced down the sidelines and shot the ball to Cameron. Pat Murphy of the El Cerrito aggregation got through three quick field goals in the first period of the game, but the Yellowjackets tightened up and controlled the ball' most of the rest of the time. break left the El Cerrito squad Berkeley's fancy passing Caned fast winded in a game that was very Jow on fowls, Albany secured the third place standing in the league after a tight squeeze.

O1' Os was working for Cleveland on an attendance basis. That is, the more people who payed their way into the home park the more money was paid to the manager. Yet more than once during that hectic season he pitched Feller on an off day so far as attendance was concerned--to keep his pitchers in turn. Vitt actually sacrificed his peronal interest in his effort to get his ball club into the World Series. Any man who thinks that much to the game on the business end of about baseball, ought to be of help microphone.

Watts, chief of the Federal Forest Service, told Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson in his 1945 biennial report just released.

"During, the war we have subordinated our long-term objectives to activities contributing to war production and military use of forest products," he wrote. "Now it is time to gear our program to the needs of an expanded peacetime economy." Watts said that at present the Nation's forests directly, or indirectly provide about 3,750,000 jobs, but that if other resources of the forests were fully developed, the employment figure might be stepped up by 2,500,000 jobs for a total of 6,250,000. As one step in building up the Nation's productive assets to sustain an increase of 2,500,000 jobs "in the basic level of industrial employment" a -wide program of public and private forest work that would keep almost 350,000 men busy for about six years and cost in the neighborhood of five billion was recommended. IMPORTANT PRACTICE The chief forester warned, however, that "we cannot build up forest productivity so long as destructive cutting practices are prevalent." He advocated a comprehensive forestry program, including (1) Nationwide regulation of timber cutting and regulated forest practices as assurance the Nation's forests shall be kept reasonably productive, (2) public ownership of millions of lacres which private find East-West Prep Quintets Ready By PHIL NORMAN It will be East against West tomorrow night at the Oakland Auditorium, when the Oakland preps stage their annual basketball "biggie."
