EUGENE, March IS CP) Granta Pass and Salem will clash here tonight for the Oregon high school basketball crown in a test of that old basketball argument: la height better than speed? Salem will have the height. The Vikings, who out-maneuvered Cor vallis in the aemi-finals last night 33-26, feature a deliberate, ball control system. Granta Pass has the dash. The Cavemen, who waited 32 years to get a team to the state tourney, charged into the finals of their first tournament last night with a 55-47 victory over the defending champions, Roosevelt of Portend. Both games were close until the the Oregon State High School Class A basketball tournament today with an easy 41-3 win ever Hillsboro. La Grande lumped right into the lead as the consolation fin als got under way and at the quarter was .loading, 17-1. By halftime the lead had been stretched to 29-15. final period. For Salem, wVich has won titles in six previous tourneys, the' outcome was in doubt until the last four minutes. Grants Pass had to pour in 16 points in the final period to out distance the defending champs. Third Place Clash Corvallis and Roosevelt will clash at 7:30 p. m. tonight for third place. In day gamea Hillsboro met La Grande for fifth place, and Milton-Freewater played Marshfield for fourth.

It will be e severe test for eny newcomer, although he has been given some pointers by another Hungarian Al Siasi, coast junior heavyweight champion. Ross, the so-called "Toledo Terror" with the fistic tendencies, end Wallick, the Denver piledriver, will probably throw every thing but the ring posts when they clash in the one-hour, three fall grudge skirmish. Although no one was ewere of the enmity between the two matmon before last Saturday's match, it was reported there was bad blood between the two before being signed as teammates. There is no question about it now, however. Lee Grable will have his. hands full as referee for the headliner. Matchmaker Elton Owen will be on hand, too. continued to race In the fourth quarter, at one time buildng to a 53-40 advantage. Forward Don Jacobson, long- shot specialist, led Grants Pass with 13 points. Roosevet's George La Valley earned game honors, however, with 16. Zone Defense Corvallis tried a zone defense on Salem, and the pace waa slow. At the end of the third quarter the count was 23-all, but at the opening of the fourth guard Larry Chamberlain atarted Salem on its way to victory with a field goal. baiem moved to a three-point lead, then five. By the time Doug Rogers hit a field goal with 17 eec conds from the end, the margin was 33-25. Again guard Daryl Gi rod led Salem. He had nine points. The Corvallis zone game back fired against the Spartans. They held Saiem down from the field all right, giving up only eight field goals, but they committed 22 fouls in doing it. Salem totted up 17 free throw points as a result. Corval lis got nine field goals, but only eight free throw points on Salem's 12 fouls. It was a (ad day for the Port land teams. All three met defeat. Jefferson was bounced from the tourney by Marshfield, 46-41, and never aeriously threatened the Coos Bay team. Central Catholic, after leadisg through the first three quartera of the game, fell victim to an arous ed Milton-Freewater squad, 43-39. That dropped Central Catholic from contention. Milton-Freewater trailed, 30-29, as the last period opened. Then Greg King, reserve forward, got a field goal that gave the Eastern Oregoniana their first lead of the game, 31-30. It waa nip-and-tuck until the count reached 35-35, and big Bob Altenhoffen, Central Catholic star, fouled out. There were three min utes left.

Snow Hairs Notrt Damt Spring Practice; Session SOUTH BEND, Ind., March 18 (P) It was a weird St. Pat rick's day for the football Irish of Notre Dame bringing snow from the sky and optimism from Coach Frank Leahy. The snow postponed the tradi tions! start of apring practice. The squad will try again Monday. Leahv aurveved 1950 nrosrjecti and said, "if we can get by North Carolina in our opener here on Sept. 30, it may take a pretty good college team to beat us." That, for Leahy, was extreme optimism. A year ago he said his team might lose five games. He was just five games over cautious then. Marines have guarded the Wash ington Navy Yard (now known as Naval Gun Factory) since 1800. goal then that gave his team a 37-35 lead, and Central Catholic could not catch up. La Grande got to the consola tion finals by out-racing Bend, 64 56, and Hillsboro got there by drubbing Dallas, 51-27. J. N.

Winter Steelhead Migration Shows Gain Over 1946 The 1950 winter steelhead mi gration in the North Umpqua river indicates an appreciable gain over the parent year of 1946, reports Ross Newcomb, resident biologist, Oregon game department. This is the first year for com parison between parent and pro geny migrations, Newcomb statea. The first winter steelhead count in 1946 tallied 3,797 fish at the Winchester station. This year, which furnishes data on the return from the four-ear cycle parent run, shows 3,932 fish as of March 15. Some fish will continue to move through the Winchester station until May, when the winter count will be terminated, Newcomb says. Based on comparative figures, the 1951 winter season should see a great increase in fish, as the count on 1947 migration was 7, 741. Tallies in 1948 and 1949 were 5,404 and 7,186 respectively. Interesting data is expected on the effect of fishing intensity. Sports annlera took an exrentinn. ally high catch from the 1946 mi gration, as water and weather con ditions during that winter were unusually favorable. Since then, however, weather conditions have been generally unfavorable and the creel loss has been much less than in 1946. The count does not include fish migrating up the South Umpqua river believed to carry a much heavier winter steelhead migration than the North Umpqua. BEAVERS CUFFED RIVERSIDE, Calif., March 18 UP) Memo to Portland, Ore., baseball fans: perhaps the less said about this the better, but your Portland Beavers got cuffed around by the University of Southern Cali fornia yesterday, 5-1. It was the ea-ger?-Beavers seventh defeat in 10 spring training exhibitions. Port land went into a 1-0 lead on John Ritchey's seventh inning homer, but then the roof caved in on pitch er Ray McNulty and he was bom barded by USC for two runs in the eighth and three more in the ninth.

Willie Pep Beats Ray Famechen In 15 Round Match By MURRAY ROSE NEW YORK. March 18-WPl-As long as he doesn't have to fight Sandy Saddler again, Willie Pep will continue to reign over the featherweights for a long time to come. The little 27-year-old 136-pound champion underscored that last night when he waltzed to an easy, 15-round title bout victory over Ray Famechon of France, the Euro pean featherweight king, in Madi son Square Garden. It was a neat, if not gaudy, con quest for the fleet-footed boxing master from Hartford, Conn., even though many of the 12,106 cash cus tomers let loose with a torrent of boos at the final bell. The jeers were for Willy the Wisp's clutching tactics as well as for the impotency of the foreign challenger's attack. Famechon showed a good left hand but he can't hit hard and it's been proved in the past that only a real belter will bother Pep. Don't get the idea, though, that Pep is ducking Saddler. "We accepted an offer of a $100, 000 guarantee plus the privilege of 40 percent of the gate to fight Sad dler again last June," said Lou Viscusi, Pep's canny manager. "Saddler waa offered $25,000 but Charley Johnston (Saddler'a mana ger) wanted $50,000. The match didn't come off. Well, that's not our ault. We're ready anytime that 100 grand gets posted." All Willie says is that "I'm ready for him. But Lou does the busi ness.'' Saddler is the stiff-hitting New York youngster who knocked out Pep in four rounds in Oct. 1948 to win the title. Willie regained it by outpointing the skinny negro in a torrid 15-rounder at the Garden Feb. 11,1949. Coen Supply Still Leaders Team Standings COMMERCIAL LEAGUE W. L.

DON FORBES Representative SUN LIFE OF CANADA DOUGLAS COUNTY STATE BANK Phone 1737 Ree.1 198 t Rsh Habitat Improvements Told At Meet Ross Newcomb Relates Work Or Investigation Of Stream Fish Barriers Excellent progress is being made on the state game department's habitat improvement program in Douglas county, Ross Newcomb, resident biologist, told directors of the Umpqua Basin Conservation council. The council met Friday nigh at the clubhouse of the Rose burg Rod and Gun club, with George Myers, vice-president, presiding. Newcomb said that he and his as sistants have been investigating (ill natural and artificial barriers to fish migration, particularly in small tributary streams. During the past few weeks, many of these barriers have been removed, he said, making access to upper spawning waters easier. In addition to removal of sev eral natural barriers, two aband oned da ma were eliminated from South Myrtle creek. Examines Barriers Walter Ryckman, in charge of barrier removal on coastal streams, was in charge of the work. He has examined all barriers previ ously located and reported in the upper Umpqua drainage system. Where barriers cannot be removed, laddera will be built during low water periods. Newcomb also reported that about 14 screen boxes have been placed in as many gravity irriga tion ditches in the southern part of Douglas county. The game depart ment's screening crew haa in stalled boxes equipped with paddle-driven self-cleaning rotary screens. While the county has few irrigation ditches of any size, the ditches did cause some loss of fish life, he said. Screening will prevent fish from entering the ditches. Council directors at their meet ing spent considerable time discuss ing affairs of the Oregon Wildlife Federation, with which it is af filiated, and in preparing for the federation convention to be held in Corvallis, April 1 and 2. A report waa made on the prog ress of the county's land acquisi tion program, sponsored by the council. , James Daugherty, representing the Roseburg Lions club, was in at tendance and pledged the support and cooperation of the Lions club in the land acquisition program, and promised assistance in improv ing and equipping park sites as they are obtained.
