V 1 P-S Rams Lead State Prep Basketball Poll By Th. AuocLttd Pnu Central Catholic of Portland still leads the field as Oregon's high schools go into Uieir last month of Play before the annual state bas ketball tournament. Winner in 18 of 19 games, Cen tral Catholic won 13 first-place votes from the 18 sportswriters participating in the weekly Asso ciated Press basketball poll. For the third straight time that MOST PEOPLE SAY: made the Portland team the No. 1 squad in the state, although with slightly less support than in the past. Last week Central won 15 tirst-place votes, compared with this week's 13. Salem again was No. 2, winning three first-place votes. Klamath Falls was No. 3 and Lincoln of Portland No. 4, each getting one first-place vote. The votes were 8jffQBf cast before Eugene's 44-43 upset of Salem Monday night. Not one of the top ten teams dropped a game in the past week, and as i result the standings were virtually unchanged. Astoria, which won two more games in the week as did most of the top ten teams made the only gain, climbing trom tenth to seventh place. Outside of that, only two changes were of much significance. One was the Flight gain in sup port for Salem. A week ago only one sportswriter considered Salem the top team, compared with three this week. The other was the added support for Lincoln, the No. 4 team. Leader of the Portland city league, Lin coln gained 33 points in this week's balloting and drew one first-place vote. That gave Lincoln 130 points, only three behind Klamath Fals. V'imath Falls, despite pickinf up one first-place ballot, made no otherwise noticeable gain in sup port. After the top four teams, there came in order: Grants Pass, Marshfield, Astoria, Lebanon, La Grande and North Bead. Lebanon, which had 12 point edge in voting' over La Grande last week, lost some ground, emerging this time in a deadlock with La Grande for eighth place. Astoria's climb shunted North Bend, No. 9 last week, down to the No. 10 spot with 48 points. Thereafter, the votes dropped off sharply. Eugene, tops among the also-rans, drew only 11 points.

Reserved seat tickets are on sale at Powell's, and fans are urged to make early reservations, Matchmaker Elton Owen an nounces the signing of a double main event as the feature for the weekly wrestling show at the Rose burg armory arena Saturday night with a one-fall opener as an added attraction. , Two titleholders will vie In one of the matches, World Champ Andy Tremaine and Coast Titleholder Frankie Stojack. The other head liner will be Rufus Jones, the head butting Boston Negro, again.u Cow boy Carlson, the bulldogging ex pert from Cheyenne The opener will match Lou Mecera, the Can adian newcomer, against Leo Jen sen, the rough-and-tumble matman from Milwaukee. Saturday's program will likely be the. best card of the season and a capacity crowd appears cer tain, despite the fact that neither Tremaine's world light heavy weight title or Stojack's coast jun ior heavyweight crown will be at stake.
