Ih the first category conies Camas Valley's trouncing of Yoncalla, 4i to 23; Drain's pmnmeling of xoklng glasB high school, II to 2S; and possibly IlocUsport's shellacking of Riddle, 50 to 23.

CAMAS VALLEY 42, YON CALLA 23 The opening ot the 13 league tour nament found Camas Valley pitted against Yoncalla, and the Diggeis had but little trouble walking off with the first victory 1" the tour ney jousting. Coach Ross Brown's husky, elongated cagers started tharpshootlng early in the contest and never let up, taking a 11-5 lead at the quarter, boosting it to 21-7 at the rest period and 3111 at the start of tho flnnl frame. It was a case ot too much Mur ray, nll-counly forward from last season, and Lockwood, tall center, who led the scoring parade by tallying 13 anil 12 points respec tivelv.

Likewise, Elkton high school, runner-up to Yoncalla in the finals a year ago, also emerged on the long end of a 29-to-22 score against Oakland, iu a close and hard-fought game, to keep pace with Yoncalla in tho chnmplonship bracket. Riddle Shows Power. Riddle showed plenty ot poten tial power in downing- Looking glass, 45 to 11, and will undoubt edly give Elkton plenty of trouble when they meet today. The clos est and best played game ot the entire opening ronnd was that be tween Wilbur . and Reedsport, the former coining out on top by a 1-point margin, 27 to 2G, in what might be considered the only up set of tho day, If there was one at all. Tho outcome was in doubt right up to the last minute of the contest and was bitterly fought all the way. Probable finalists, judging from the form displayed today, will likely be Yoncalla and Elkton again, though the latter has a big hurdle to get over in Riddle. Yoncalla should have little difficulty with Wilbur. A good guess for the consolation finals is Oakland and; Reedsport.

I Abe did a lot to help Tony's cause by the sort of fighting he put here last night before Referee Dave Miller finally had to stop it early In the third round to spare him further punishment and possibly save Gnlento from a charge of manslaughter. Bald Abe did his level best to make a fight of it. It he didn't, then he took a terrible beating to make It look good. The crowd of about 10,000 would have understood If i Feldman had stayed down any one of the three times Tony smashed him to tile canvas in the second round: They were yelling to Miller frantically to stop It when Abe sank to his knees from a ter rific left to the body after 30 sec onds of the third. By sticking it So gamely, Fold- man at least gave Tony a chance to land a few visible blows. Tho crowd and the critics saw them hit Feldman, and there was no one to say fake. It was plain that FoldinSn, an honest, ring weary second-rater, simply was no match for the ornnge round man. who outweighed hint some 37 pounds.

It's the Safety Sensation of 1939! Our customers' have started 4 word-bf-mouth campaign that IS making this the biggest selling tire we've ever had. Motor car manufacturers have been so impressed by its superior performance that they have adopted It for their 1939 models. hy? Etccausc the Firestone Champion Tire is art entirely new achievement in safety engineering. Stronger Cord Body, this is accomplished first, by the use of a completely new type of tire cord called "Safety-tbCk;" id which the c6ttoh fibers are more' compactly interwoven to assure cooler running and provide greater strength. Then, the fibers in each individual cord, thti cords in each ply add the piles themselves, art: all securely locked together by a new and advanced Firestone process of Gum-Dipping which provides amazingly greater Streriglh. And greater strength means greater safety. More Non-Skid Mileage. The new Safety-Lock cord construction provides the extra strength needed for the iise bf the new, thicker, tougher, deeper Firestone Gear-Grip tread which delivers remarkably longer non-skid mileage, This sensational new tread is called "Gear-Grip" because of its unique design it has' more than 3,000 sharp-edged angles which grip the road with a sure-footed hold to protect against skidding and assure a safe stop.
