From The Portland Oregonian, we quote Sports Editor JI. Gregory: "Poor Bernle Masterson, the Nebraska coach, is neck deep In wolf trouble, and It's doubtful If he can pull out. He has a five-year contract, of which enly two seasons have expired, but what Bernie will have to live through If he stays la something we wouldn't wish on anyone. "Bernie's troubles with material dpn't in the least Interest' the wolves, whoUncldentally seem to comprise Just about every hometown Lincoln resident and all Nebraska's far-flung alumni, perhaps they shouldn't be called wolves, even figuratively. "Even his foes say Bernie is a swell fellow personally; but when a school accustomed to winning loses 13 and wins only five in two consecutive seasons, and its 1947 defeats include all five games played at home, being liked personally doesn't help much."

B. Chandler Joined the major leagues Wednesday In endorsing the long-range plan to bring in four teams of the Pacift-Coast league for the purpose ot expanding each major league from eight to 10 teams. The commissioner, who was a member of the five-man committee which visited the coast last August, Intends to bring the plan before the joint major league meeting Thursdsy. PKACTICAL PLAN, Along with the National and American leagues, Chandler is of the opinion that the 10-club plan If the most practical and could ho with the. "least trouble to baseball." The National owners touched on the coast league problem Tuesday as the three-day winter meetings began.

Although league President Ford.Frlc declined to reveal the decision, It was learned that the senior cir cuit rejected both PCL requests. They held: First, the eight cities involved at the moment cannot support major league baseball; second, it would be unfair to the two other triple-A leagues to grant the PCL special privileges without doing the same tor them. SAME ACTION. The American league It expect ed to take pretty much the same action Wednesday. Should that occur, the next step, it was generally agreed, would be for the so-called "big four" clubs of lis Angeles, San Francisco, Holly wood and Oakland to prepare tho way to purchase their territorial release from the Pacific Coast league and thus pave the way for their entry Into the majors.

Will Harridge, who sUll had another year to serve on his 10- year pact, was re-elected president of the American league tor 10 more years at a "substantial increase In salary." It is believed he received $40,000 per year. Frlck last July wsj elected to a tour-year term as National league president The National league, releasing Its official attendance figures ot 1947, showed a total ot 10,388,470. It marked the first time any league had drawn more than 10 million paid. PRO BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION or AMERICA. Philadelphia It, Providence 14.

CITY By GEORGE MILLER iHtar Bport Bull Mambari KNOWING that his Uncoln high quintet will receive one of Its sternest tests of the season Saturday night when Grand Island entertains the Links, Coach Lyle Weyand is spending practice time this week attempting to strengthen the LHS lineup. One definite change that will be In effect for the Third City tilt is the use ot Phil Hall at a starting forward spot In place of Hobe Jones. Hall contributed 10 points to the Red and Black scoring total In the Nebraska City rout last week. Another possible shift Is the use of Harlan Lessman at center In place of Jerry Merritt. Lessman also was a scoring leader against the hapless Pioneers last Friday as he potted eight points.

The other three positions on the start ing lineup remain securely in the hands of lettermen Joe Good, Stan Gerlach and Jim French. Virgil Jacobs, who was in con tention for a varsity berth during early season practices, will be out of actlqn for several weeks because of a broken collarbone which he received In drllla last week. At Northeast. Coach Dawdy Hawkins has ruled four players off the Rocket varsity squad for tne Nebraska City game Friday. The NE mentor has suspended John Neiderhaus, Wiley Rowan, Hoyt Huitberg and Ronnie Butler from the game as a disciplinary action.

The game starters who ao- peared for the Black and White team against Plattsmouth are ex- peciea gei uie noa against Ne braska City. This means that Bob and Dick Allen will be at the forwards, Bruce Evans will be at center and Cecil Volls and Mark Martin will handle the guard duties. Nebraska City failed to nut un much of a battle against Lincoln, losing 56-7 and scoring only one neia goal during the same. Lack of height hampered the Pioneers against the Links and i cortnin to- be a handican against th Rockets. NOBTHEAST HIGH BOSTEB, Taam ht Bok Allan 1-4 '4 Dick Allan -t B.

At the end of each season It Is interesting to check back on the results of pre-season predictions Many Uf ngs tend to upset the best laid calculations of gridiron soothsayers.
