Inside Story on Perfect Drinks
The inside Btory of the drinks you mix is told by the
whiskey you use. The finer the tvhUhey the finer the drink.
So always mix with Seagram's 7 Crown. You'll be sure of
a success story iu every driuk you serve t
four teams In each section take
part.
First night pairings, starting at
6:00 Tuesday night, are still only
probable until league play is com
pleted this Friday, In any case,
the north half No. 1 team meets
the south half No. 4 team. These
positions are clinched and pit Elk
ton against Days Creek. At 700,
the North No. 3 team meets the
South No. 2. This means probably
Yoncalla vs. Riddle. Certainly Yon
calla will be one opponent, but Rid
dle and Glendale are currently tied
for first place In the south half.
At 8:00, North No. 4 meets South
No. 1, probably Oakland against
Glendale. At 9:00, North No. 2
meets South No. 3. Paired f"r sure
in this one are Drain and Canyon
ville. The teams are then divided Into
consolation and championshio
brackets for gamis Thursday night
Incidentally, Elkton is considered
the team to watch by virtue of Its
undefeated league record and 14-1
season record. But there are many
dark horses.

Johnny O'Brien Needs Only
69 Points To Snap Record
By Tha AMOcUtod Pre
The youngster known as the
"Super Chief," who has piled up
more free throws in a single sea
son than any other collegian could
do since basketball was invented
is out now to make it a clean
sweep.
Johnny O'Brien of Seattle Uni
versity's Chieftains needs only 69
points to crack the all-time college
record of 967 and his fans are
rooting for him to shoot for a
thousand. The littlest pivot man
in the game today has four tilts
left, plus any tournament action.
The Super Chief maintains a
?uiet, unexcited mien, offers a
riendly grin and a yes-or-no an
swer to most questions and lets the
points fall as they may. Forty of
them fell Tuesday night, boosting
his total for the past two games to
87 and for the season to 899.
Breaks Old Mark
It was Tuesday night, also, that
he ran his free throw count to 309
for the season, breaking the old
national mark by 18.
Seventeen Northwest players now
have scored 300 or more points
and O'Brien is that far in front
of the rest of his field. Jim Doherty
of Whitworth ranks second with 539

Dram Warriors
Defeat Elmira . .
For 3rd Place
Shooting at a booming .482 clip
from 'he field, the Drain basket
hall Warriors nailed down undis
puted third place in tile Ltse
County Valley League on their
home floor Tuesday by dunking
Elmira, 65-54. , -. - .
The Warriors fashioned the win
without the, service of two start
ers, and two first string subs who
were out with flu or measles. At
first the contest was a raging tem
pest. In the first quarter, the lead
changed hands seven times before
Drain closed out the period with
a 15-14 edge. George Reay scored
10 of the points for Elmira in that
tieht frame. He ana Jim rorcia
went to work in the second quar
ter to nut the visitors ahead, 27-24,
by halftone.-At one time in me
second, Elmira led . by seven
points. .
But Drain started rolling in the
third neriod under the guidance
of Jack Weaver and Ed Duncan.
The Warriors pushed ahead, 41-39,
by the third break, and as min
utes ran out in the fourth canto
Ihev were strumming the net with
startling regularity. They scored
on 18 of 26 tries in the second
half for a 609 average. -
Elmira's Cliff Fisher ' reflected
the loser desperation in the last
second as he boomed a 45-foot
howitzer from the center of the
floor to collect the last two points.
Jack Weaver was high scorer for
the night as he -potted 24 points
for Drain. Elmira'o George Reay

"It was really two miracles run
ning that saved us," said Dick
Severino of Saratoga Springs, N. Y.

Ostler, winner of the two-man

total time of 2:34.43 to assume a
lead of .79 of a second over the
American No. 1 sled, driven by 39
year old Stan Benham of Lake

Final Htats Slated
Benham's oak and steel racer
was clocked in 2:35.22 for the two
runs down the icy chute of 1,500
meters (120 yards less than a
mile). The final two heats will be
run Friday with total times for
the four heats deciding the winner.
Bickford, a -veteran of the 1936

craft all the way with his feet
against the steering wires.
