Coastin9 Along

playoff for the coast crown hinges
on the outcome of the clash be-
tween the two bitter rivals.
NO PLAY OFF
If the Trojans dump the Bruins
and walk off with the title, there
is no chance of a playoff.
The Trojans will lose four top
players to the navy March /. Gone
will be Dead-Eye forward Homer
Sherwood, stocky guard Art Nick
loft, rangy forward Fred Moy and
guard Bob Graham.
This would leave Troy with ex-
actly five players-just enough to
line up for the starting jump But
that's ALL And use Athletic Direc-
tor Arnold Eddy emphasized there
was not the remoteSt chance for a
play-off if the Trojans should cart
off the southern title
On the other hand, Bruin officials
would be only too glad to invite the
winner of the northern loop to Los
Angeles for play-off series. UCLA
will lose no one to officer training
school at the conclusion of the sea-
son and will be able to stage the
series if it is held in Los Angeles
Oregon, with an all-civilian team,
would be able to travel to Los An
geles without worry of navy restric-
tions.
Meanwhile. the situation in the
north remains unsettled with Ore
gon States battling Beavers and
Washington States surprising Cou-
gars only a game behind the pace
setting Oregon Ducks.
TAKE NOSE DIVE
Down south, the Trojans were
favored to trip their crosstoWn rivals
for the conference crown, but their
stock had taken a nose-dive since
recent losses to the Bruins and
California Bears.
Willy Wilbur Johns, who scraped
the barrel to mold an alert squad
at UCLA, said his boys would go
"all out" Saturday night to grab
their first basketball championship
in l3 years of trying.
Across town, Trojan Mentcr Bobby
Muth had other ideas.
We've been plenty sour the last
three weeks, but it could happen
to any team. We couldn't be as bad
as we looked in our last two outings
with the Bears and Bruins" the
former use cage star reflected.

State, Federal
Groups Study
Bird Refugees

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 13. CUP)-
A proposal by agencies of the fed
eral and state governments to buy
10000 acres CT California lands for
migratory bird refugees and public
shooting grounds was revealed at
Sacramento Monday.
Officials of the federal wild life
service and the state fish and game
commission said the refugees would
provide better shooting for the
hunters, at the same time giving
protection for rice and other crops
Albert Day, assistant director of
the federal agency, said S350,000 is
available to carry on the federal
part of the program. The federal
lands would be used for refugees,
while adjacent acreage would be
bought by the state for shooting
grounds, Day said.
Money for the states part of the
program would have to be voted
by the 1945 legislature Bills for an
S3,000,000 postwar fish and game
development program already have
been submitted and include pro-
vision for purchasing land for
shooting grounds, Dem A. Civitello,
state fish and game commissioner,
pointed out.
Day said the value of game
refugees in protecting agricultural
crops was demonstrated in 1914,
when the fish and wild life service
leased acreage for refugees. In 1943,
he said, ducks and other birds de-
stroyed 100000 bags Of rice in
Northern California and caused
crop damage of S1,000,000 in Impe-
rial Valley.

Face Floods

CHICAGO Feb. 49, CUP) = -The|
threat of the worst spring flood IN
nine years hangs over the east and
midwest where heavy winter snowsl
have piled up huge backlog of pre-
cipitation that could turn enery|
stream into roaring torrent with
the first rainfall, weather bureau
and flood control officials reported.
SO great is the threat to the mill
lions of residents in the lowland|
areas, where previous floods have|
taken a huge toll in life and prop-|
erty, that disaster and relief agent
cies are preparing for the heaviest

Shows on the ground in the Ohio|

the Connecticut river watershed are|
much in excess of the average for|
the last 20 years, and snow cover

districts also is considerably more"|

1886, William E. Hiatt, miCWestern|
engineer for the weather bureau, Se-
ported.
GRADUAL THAW
1T won't be too bad if the thaW
is gradual" Hiatt explained. "Sut|
quick letup in the cold -Weathef
followed by rains, will furnish more
water than most of the tributaries
and rivers in those regions cam
carry"
Most serious threat was to Pitts
burgh where the Allegheny and
Monongahela rivers converge to
form the Ohio. Both army engineers
and flood control officials agreed
that the waters there will rise to
a level comparable to 1886 when the
high was 81 feet above flood stage.
The snowfall in those areas totaled
ITO inches this winter, with few
thaWS.

PRESIDENT MISSES
BAD AUTO WRECK

KANSAS CITY, Kan, Dec. %.
-W,H-President Truman's custom
built Lincoln was in an accident
TODAY less than 20 minutes after
the chief executive took off from

involving the Presidents car was
unavoidable. Ice was packed or
the intersection and both drivers
told the sheriff they were unable
to come to a stop.
Driver of the truck was James
Ellis, 48, of Kansas City, Mo.
Edwards said both cars were 60
ing about 10 miles an hour at the
time of the accident.
The Presidents car was to be
towed to a garage in Kansas City,
Kan. Edwards said the grill-work
on the car was smashed. No one
was injured.
There was no one in the Presi
dents car beside the secret serv
ice man.
