Tuesday, January 26, 1932 Page 51 LOCAL TOURNEY ' A FREE-FOR-ALL La Grande and Cove Fa vored But Anything Could Happen This Year By Nolan Skiff Which teams will represent Union and Wallowa counties at the district basketball tournament at Union Mar. 3, 4 and 6? Although that question Is being asked frequently, It Is exceedingly difficult to answer. Really, an an swer at this stage of the season Is Impossible. La Grande Is conceded a ticket to Union by most of the fans but a few aren't so sure! Cora also la conceded a ticket to Union by a number of fans but quite a few aren't sure I At present. It appears that those two teams are probably outstanding In Union and Wallowa counties out side of the special sub -district of Union Itself, which does not have to compete to enter the championship play-off. If Union were competing, It might be a good guess to list La Grande, Union and Cove as the three likely representatives but that's Just another IPI Most Teams Strong Here's the situation in a nutshell. Three teams must win out In a sub district tournament to be played here the last week In February, and five teams will be eliminated. The teams who will play are: La Grande, Cove, Imbler, Joseph, Enterprise, Wallowa. North Powder and Elgin. There Isn't a team In the other seven that La Grande cannot defeat but. at the same time, there Is only one team In tlio other seven which couldn't beat La Grande If the cords were dealt right. This is shown by the fact that Wallowa, listed as ono of the weaker teams, trounced La Grande a short time ago. Joseph missed it by two points! - , Elgin is below the general strength of the other seven teams, but after that, it's largely a question of breaks. Powder Coming Fast North Powder undoubtedly will make a strong bid. Although 'twice beaten by La Grande, the Powderltcs have been coming along rapidly since then, and expect to give any team a real run for Its money. Imbler, Wallowa, Enterprise and Joseph air J have a good chance to 'foul was called on a Helix player and play at Union. the Owls made the free throw. A In fact, so closely are tho seven second after tho ball left the ref leadlng teams grouped - now in eree's hand on tho tip-off, the game strength that It wouldn't be exactly a major surprise to see any three of the list come out on top In the La Grande tourney. Local people are expecting the sub district elimination contests here to be as productive of fine basketball as the tournament at Union, and , possibly more productive of upsets. Baker In Lead Over the district as a whole. Baker High stands out as the undisputed leader at present, with five straight victories and no losses. In foot, at this stage of the sea son, it appears that Baker will go Into the Union tournament a decided favorite. Of course. If La Orando . were to tame tho Bulldogs Feb. 12 In; ford.

Ore., Jan. 36 W) Uni versity of Washington's basket-ball team took an early lead over Ore gon last night and were never head ed, defeating the Wo b foots 44 to 32. Harold Leo's early field goal marked tho start of the Huskies and his teammates soon ran up an 8 to 1 lead. The northerners led 21 to 11 at the half. Oregon came to life In the second half and staged a rally, but the Huskies were not to be denied. Cap Roberta, Oregon center, played bril liantly for the Webfoote, but could not carry the entire burden. He was high man for both teams with 14 points. Leo of Washington had ten. Captain Cairney and John Puller, Washington's most aggressive ball hawks, were forced out of the game on personal fouls in the second half. The Washington victory throws the Huskies and Oregon into a deadlock for third place, with Washington State topping the list and Oregon State In second place. The teams meet here again tonight. Otto Reiselt At Head of Standings CHTCAOO.

Ketrk befer dropped into a tie for second place with Arthur Thumb lad. of Chicago, the defending champion, with three games won and one de feat.

Nevers, Famous Star, Will Quit Gridiron Game SAM FRANCISCO, Jan. 26 (fl -Ernie Nevers, former Stanford uni versity fullback, and described by Coach Glenn Warner of that unlver sity as "the greatest player I ever coached or saw," was definitely out of the playing end of football today, having announced his intention to quit the game while "still in one piece!" Nevers. who since 1926, has been a profession oU star, played his final gome at Kezar stadium here Sunday, and carried out of it a broken wrist. Incurred In the last play of the game. Nevers' plana for the future are indefinite, he told Interviewers. He has ambitions to become a coach and has had several offers, but declined to go Into details. Ho will, however, confer with Uni versity of Nevada officials In the near future. He would prefer, he said to become an assistant coach at Stan ford. Both In amateur and professional football, Nevers bowed out in spec tacular fashion. As a captain of his team In 1025, he led Stanford to its first victory over California in many years. Sunday, he scored all his team's points as the Individual star of the game. During his five years of profes sional football, he has played ap proximately 1 00 games. He thinks the greatest players he lined up with or against are "Red" Grange. Hick alak, Nagurskl, Slater and Kelsllng. The pro game. In his opinion, has made trenemdous strides In the last three years, and he believes it will continue to do so. OWLS TAKE LEAD IN DISTRICT RACE (Continued Prom Page One) eight times and the score was knotted eight times at 3, S, 7, 0, 22, 28, 40 and 42. The Owls scored first but at the end of the quarter were one point in the rear. In the second period Helix managed to maintain its one-point margin but could not add to it. In the third quarter, a La Grande rally sent the score to 35 to 28 and then 37 to 30, but In the last period, a determined Helix drive evened up the count at 42 all Just five seconds be- fore tho game ended.

Dunkley (Associated Prcas Sports Writer) MILWAUKEE, Jan. 26 m William "Gorilla" Jones, long armed 26-year- old negro of Memphis. Term., was recognized today by the national boxing association as middleweight champion of the world. Jones won the title last night by defeating Odonne Piazza, sturdy youth of Milan. Italy, on a technical knockout In the sixth round of a 10 -round battle, fought before a dis appointing crowd of 3500. It waa the championship bout of an elimination tournament conducted under the auspices of the N. B. A. to determine a successor to Mickey Walker. He gave up the throne a year ago because be could no longer make the weight limit of 160 pounds. riazza Battered The Memphis negro, backed with five years of campaigning, outclassed, out-boxed, and out-fought the 22-year-old Italian aspirant. After a slow start, he battered Piazza to pulp and had him on the verge of collapse when the bout was ended by the referee. Jones won every round, with the exception of the first. With the start of the sixth round. Jones tore Into the Italian, forcing him to the ropes, under a merciless barrage of punches to the head. Piazza, succeeding in escaping, stag gered across the ring, finally falling on his back In a neutral corner. He gamely got up, only to run into an other vicious assault with Jones shooting punches to his jaw. Piazza sought refuge on the ropes again, but Jones tore after him. Tho negro cracked him on the chin and Piazza, his arms dropping at his side, could offer no defense. As he was about to sag Into collapse, the referee waved Jones to his corner. declaring him the winner. Ciate Only S-ViOO The battle was a disappointment in gate receipts and attendance. It at tracted less than $5500 Into the box office, compared to the last time Mickey Walker defended his title. when his battle with Ace Hud kins, in Los Angeles in 1929. drew $189,000. Walker was a spectator at the ring side. Jones is the seventeenth holder of the title. Since the class was rec ognized way back In 1867. the di vision has produced 16 champions, among them the greatest fighters of all time. Walker. Stanley Ketchel, Tommy Ryan. Billy Papke, Mike O'Dowd, Bob Fitzstmmons. and Jack Dempsey. Jones scaled 152 "4 pounds and Jones 153. Baseball Purely Hobby For Man Who Owned Cubs CHICAGO. Jan. 26 (!Pi Baseball lost not only one of Its greatest lead ers but ono of Its greatest spenders In the death of William wrigley Jr., at Phoenix, Ariz., today. Taking up the national pastime as a hobby. Wrigley spent millions to gtvo Chicago a pennant winning team and always insisted he never realized one cent from his Interests in the club, one of the best money earners in all baseball history. "1 bought the Cubs not only be cause 1 love baseball but because I once was Joshed about a large city like Chicago having such poor ball clubs." he once said in telling of his interest in the game. "When I was on the rond selling soap years ago. the other salesmen used to kid me about Chicago's weak clubs and I resolved to buy the Cubs. "Altogether I think I have spent $6,000,000 or more in building up my team but I never have taken a nickel of the profits. It Is purely a hobby for me and as long as I can afford such an expensive hobby and give the fans a thrill, why I'm happy. I'd rather watch a good ball game than to attend a stockholders' meeting i and listen to bumper reports and 1 1 guess I play hookey regularly to go i out to Wrigley field." Follows Oomlskey's Heath Wrigley death, which came as a distinct shock to baseball and to Chi cago's civic leaders who regarded him as one of the staunchest pillars in this city's civic life, removed from baseball Chicago's second major league club owner In three months. On Oct. 26, 1931. Charles A. Comis key. "baseball's old Roman" and own er of the White Sox. died at hts coun try home In Eagle River. Wis. Lou Comlskey, son of the "old Ro man" and heir of the White Sox club, was the first to offer condol ences to the bereaved Wrigley family. EAST SllK MARKET PORTLAND, Jan. 26 i.

W) Something new under the athletic sun has been hatched here in the form of ice basketball. Equipment for this new hybrid of sports combines the armorial aspects cf football with the leg-freedom of the basketball costume and. of course, the steel runners necessary for effec tive traction on Ice. The rules are a combination of basketball and hockey, with enough latitude in their enforcement so that the football protective equipment seems not at all superfluous. The new University of Illinois skat- Ing rink, built from football profits for non-varsity use, is the scene of the game's origin. Teams organized by Manager Besk ley Miller have staged several exhibi tions that have proved so thrilling and unique that they are anticipating invitations to put on their show be fore metropolitan audiences at the Chicago stadium and New York's Madison Square Garden. The baskets are placed 120 feet apart, with flags marking the side lines, about 75 feet apart. The largest standard basketball courts are 94 feet by 50. ... Basketball rules prevail, in the main, though altered to allow the "double dribble." and players may advance with the ball during a rapid count of five before being called for "traveling." Fouls are penalized, as in hockey, by suspension from the game, with out substitutions, for one minute or two, depending on the flagrdncy of the violation. No free throws are awarded. Costumed of players' include foot ball shoulder harness and knee pads, long-sleeved Jerseys, long stockings, basketball trunks and. naturally, skates. 'HIOHPOCKET CAGE SQUAD CANYON. Tex.

The late session of the exchange here was without change of any sort, while on 'the open market, stocks cleaned up, as they have been doing recently from day to day. Make of butter In the local terri tory is showing little change for re cent days. Demand appears suffic ient to keep the output cleaned up and a shortage is reported in Isolated instances. There appears a growing demand for undergrades in the local trade. Although there is no surplus insight of top scores, it Is the lower grade stock that finds the best call. Price "sharp shooters" are utilizing this stock to cut values. The fact that the average person does not read the label aids in moving out this class of goods. There is no change of Interest In the egg market situation for the day. Prices are stationary and there is sufficient supply, or more for all needs.
