Beavers Take Two In Row from Oaks By HAL WOOD (United Preil Sport. Writer) One swallow doesn't make a summer and two victories in March don't win a Pacific coast league pennant, but the supporters of the Portland Beavers, the Los Angeles Angels and San Francisco Seals today were feeling pretty confident about the future. Manager Lefty O'Doul's Seals, favored to win the pennant, con Olympic Hoopers Named for London By AUSTIN BEALMEAR Preaa Sports Writer) New York, April 1 W) Fourteen basketball players, probably the greatest collection of amateur cagers in the world, were named today to the squad which will represent the United States in the London Olympic games. The Phillips Oilers of Bartlesville, who defeated the University of Kentucky, 53-49, in the finals of the Olympic I did his utmost to pull his team Students Plead For Hoop Coach To Stay at OSC Corvallis, April 1 Coach Slats Gill has a petition today bearing the names of 1,500 Oregon State College students who want him to remain as coach of the Beaver basketball team. It was presented during a student pep rally last night held in front of the Gill home.

The veteran OSC mentor confirmed recently that he has been offered coaching posts at UCLA and fhrough to victory, but couldn't quite make the grade. His 23 Ducks to Field Letterman Nine In Doubleheader When the University of Oregon's baseball team moves Into Waters field at 1:30 Friday aft-; ernoon for two games against i Willamette university, Coach Don Kirsch will probably have a letterman in every position except third base. Of the 13-man pitching staff only one Whitey Lokan is a veteran. Kirsch Is not expected to name his pitchers until a few minutes before game time. Bill Burgher, a sophomore, is scheduled to see the most action behind the bat.

Another letter-' man, Dick Rodiger, with two years' experience, will be the chief alternate catcher. The infield consists of Dick Bartle at first, Walt Kirsch at second and Al Cohen, short-atop. Third base will be held down by either Don Kimball or Chuck Strader. In the outfield will be Hal Zurcher, Don Dibble and Johnny Jones. The games will be the first of the season for both squads.

But the surprises were the convincing manner in which the Los Angeles Angels, defending champions, but figured a second-division club this mauled San Diego, 17-2; and the clocklike workmanship the Beavers displayed in disposing of Oakland for the second day in a row, 9-4. In last night's other contest, the Seattle Rainiers, smarting under a 17 to 2 defeat in the opening game, came back to measure the Hollywood Stars, 4 to 3 after ten innings.

Manny Perez made his mound debut for the Seals at Sacramento and gave the Solons only five hits while his predominantly left-handed team-mates tagged right-handed Rex Cecil for seven safeties. Dino Res-telli, Seal outfielder, hit two-for-four, one of them a homer with the bases bare. Gene Woodling also hit two-for-four for the Seals, picking up a triple and a double. Portland showed little concern for the elder of Oakland's pitching Hafey brothers, handing Tom Hafey even worse than they did Will (Junior) Hafey in the Tom lasted only three and a fraction innings before surrendering the mound to Lloyd Hittle. Oakland again displayed a penchant for leaving men1 idle on the base paths, getting ten men at least as far as first and never bringing them home.

Herm Reich and Ford Mullen both connected for Portland homers, each with one aboard. Los Angeles had a big time in the 2nd and 3rd innings at San Diego, getting five runs off the Padres in each frame. Fred Schmidt, hurling for the Angels, gave up ten hits while his teammates were collecting 20 off three Padre pitchers. Jake Wade was the unfortunate San Diego starter, followed by Mike Budnick in the third. Budnick gave the chore to Bog Kerrigan in the 4th.

Dom Dal-lesandro, Ed Malone and Bill Schuster hit round-trippers for the Seraphs. Dick Barrett gave Hollywood only eight hits while the Rainiers were collecting 11 off Southpaw Ed Smith and Gordon Maltzberger, who was credited with the loss The winning run was provided for the Suds by Lou Novikoff, who doubled and came home on a single by Skeeter Newsome. The box: Shits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman, Capital Journal Sports Editor Total attendance at major league all-star baseball games, including the one in 1947, reached 572,578 and the total receipts so far have amounted to $913,293. TEXIR0N Johnny Lewis, Willamette's baseball coach, appears to have hit the jackpot in the matter of catchers. Usually this is one posi-tion that puts grey hairs on a coach who walks about the campus 'with an appraising eye as he searches for a receiver.

But not Johnny, who has three unusually strong college catchers: Roy Harrington of Portland; Dick Allison, Salem freshman, and Deke Walker, a junior from Warrenton. The latter has been nursing a sore arm. "It's a shame to keep one of those boys on the bench at Ex-Oregon State Gridder Charges Rams Broke Deal Los Angeles, April 1 (U.R) Eberle Schultz, tackle for the professional Los Angeles Bams, today filed suit for $5000 on grounds the Rams fell down on a promise to find him a new job if he would move to Los Angeles. Schultz' suit said he signed August 7, 1916, to play for the Rams in 1946 and 1947 for $10,000 a year, and In a supplementary agreement promised to give up a S450-a-month job in Oregon City, and move to Los Angeles. In return, he said, the Rams promised to find him a comparable job by March 1, 1948, or pay him $5000.

The suit named Rams owners Dan Reeves, Edwin Pauley, Harold Pauley and Frederick Levy, Jr. Reeves said he and Schultz have not yet discussed a 1948 contract. Schultz, 29, was a football star at Oregon State college. points on 11 field goals and a free throw stamped him as the best offensive man on the floor. In the final analysis, how ever, it was seven-foot Bob Kurland, the Oiler center.

who spelled the difference. Kurland controlled play off the backboards and found time to whip in nine baskets and two free throws to lead the winners with 20 points. counting shttp?

"I only hope the balance of the team performs with equal" ability." Harrington will probably be the No. 1 Bearcat receiver because of his experience, No doubt about It competition for playing material Is to become red hot before many seasons. When Jim Aiken replaced Tex Oliver at Oregon he didn't waste any time in letting it become known that the Webfoots were in the market for first olass grlddera. The Oregonlans went to work on their spring training chores this week and the candidates included five transfers who laid out last season. Others hail from junior colleges.

Two of the transfers are from Purdue, home of atrong grid teams. The turnout at the University of Wash-ton totalled 158 and numerous transfers were recorded. Oregon State had 114 men In uniform as Coach Lon Stiner went to work. Apparently Oregon State isn't overlooking a single bet. When well built young chap was seen wandering about the campus this week in a somewhat detached manner he was invited into the athletic office.

The conversation followed the usual routine before the $64 question developed: "Just what, branch of athletics hold your interest?" Then It developed the young fellow was a member of the Salem Senator baseball squad who was taking an unescorted tour of the Beaver campus. No one who has followed Slats Gill's career as a coach of basketball should be surprised that efforts are being made to remove him from the Oregon State college campus. The big wonder is that he hasn't taken up his abode elsewhere He started his work at Oregon State during the 1928-29 season and up to the start of the last conference series had won a total of 329 games as compared with 188 defeats. His clubs have grabbed off five northern division pennants and two Pacific Coast conference titles. No doubt loyalty to his alma mater has kept him at Corvallis during the past five years.

It is to be hoped that the athletic department will make matters sufficiently Interesting and that Slats will remain In' this state. The recent conference of coaches in the east resulted in a general discussion of rules and the infractions thereof. Slats spoke of the compilation of fouls occurring in 6000 games throughout the country. The Pacific Coast was fairly high on the list. Slats believes sincerely in limiting players to three fouls a game and has gome logic to back up his arguments.

During Tuesday night's basketball banquet he said he had observed frequently that when a player got four fouls on him he subsequently settled down and went the balance of the distance without a single infraction being charged against him. "If he can go the last half without committing a foul, why can't he play a cleaner game during the first 20 minutes?" he asked, "A limit of three fouls might make the player fashion a cleaner game." He added that too many games were being won from the foul line. Portland lb Rucker.of 4 2 lOakland ab Holder.
