Central Catholic Leads
At Lincoln Closes In
By Th. AwocLted PrM
The Lincoln high Cardinals are
zooming up in the Oregon high :
school basketball world. Although '
Central Catholic, another Portland
team, still leads the weekly Asso-
, ciated Press poll, Lincoln hna
moved into second place only 12
points behind Central. i
Bolh teams have similar records:
. 19 wins and 2 losses for Central, i
17 and 2 for Lincoln. I
By losing its second game last
week, a decision to Oregon State's
Rooks, the Kams also lost some
votes. Eleven sportswriters gave
Central first place, two less than
last week. Lincoln picked up furr
first-place ballots, three more than
last week.
Salem, dropped to the No. 3 spot
for the first time, got the only
other vote for first place. The Vi
kings were upset by Eugene last
week. The Klamath Falls Pelicans
were in fourth place. Central had
153 points, Lincoln 141, Salem 120
and Klamath Falls 116.
Pirates Rat Sixth
Voting dropped off sharply from
there. About the only significant
change in the standings was Lin
coln's upward surge, on the heels
of big Wade Ilalbrook's point-making
spree 91 against Cleveland
high.
Behind Klamath Falls, in order,
came Grants Pass, Marshfield, La
Grande, Astoria, North Bend and
Lebanon.
Grants Pass and Marshfield held
their positions. Astoria and Leb-

mat shows continue sell-out crowds.
local"fans can be assured of the
best talent available.
"This is the hottest wreslling
area west of the Mississippi at the
present time," Owen said, as he
booked one of the most torrid
hradliners in weeks Rufus
i "Pinky" Jones against Frankie
Stojack. The match will take top

Arne Skaaland, popular Scandina

Major attention, of course, will
go lo the Jones Stojack bout, a
non-title affair but a match in
which both hope to gain an engage

winner will definitely be given a
headline bout here against the Si

Title Not At Stake
Douglas county fans are divided
in their opinions as to which of
the two would be more likely lo
win against the Russian, so Owen
has booked 'em to provide an auto

junior heavyweight title will not
be at stake, but he'd sooner risk
his title than not have a chance
for revenge against Gorky. The
Russian, who defeated him with
his wolf leap a couple of weeks
ago, has declined to meet Stoiack
in a re-match, but Owen said he
will be forced to meet the Stojack
Jones winner.
