' 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

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.

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.

"GORILLA" JONES
WINS RING TITLE
Memphis Negro Victori
ous in Elimination lour
ney in Milwaukee.
By Charles W. 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.

Who Owned Cubs
CHICAGO. Jan. 26 (!Pi Baseball

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."

Illinois Creates
Ice - Basketball
From Two Sports
URBANA, HI. 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.

Growing Demand
For Low Grades
In Butter Mart
PORTLAND, Jan. 26 (JP) Con
tinued lack of price change in the
cube market on the Portland produce
exchange, reflects the steadiness of
the butter trade generally. 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.
Despite the talk of Callfornlans op
erating in the northwest field, they
are taking all chicken supplies offer
ed at current low values here. Move
ment is Increasing somewhat. Prices
are unchanged.
While there has been a slight easi
ness in the market for hogs recently,
country killed meats in general have
held remarkably well in view of the
livestock, situation.
There is quite a good demand for
dressed turkeys and receipts are not
so liberal.
Fractionally better prices
are reported in spots as a result of
the decreased stock.
Latest trade In spot delivery on
ions is still confined to the $3.50
mark with sacks and twine furnished
by buyers. Offerings are reported as
light with demand fully taken care
of. Much of the sales of the last two
week's are still to be shipped, there
fore buyers are not caring much
whether they make new committ

move and the motion was carried.
Jutifylng his attitude, Mr. Perkins,
who expresed himself as being in
favor of continuing the two positions
if the school board could possibly re
tain them, Btated that the directors
will not have enough from taxes.
' even with the cuts, and that he voted
for abolishing them, not for the sake
of conservation, but because the
school board will not have sufficient
money to 'pay for them.
J. T. Longfellow, superintendent,
was asked to express an opinion on
the result of abolishing music and
. . . . .. .
art supervisors, and stated it is his
belief that ln a system of this size,
if these subjects are to be taught
with uniformity and organization,
there must be one Individual ln
charge of the details. It will largely
put an end to Instruction ln those
fields since not all teachers are
trained along those lines.
Opinions were expressed by several
J taxpayers of the community. W. T.
stated lhat he m ln favor of B
ram of e,.onomyi but believed
that mfln cmldren required the
8tUdy of art and music. T. J. Scrog-
I E111 complimented the board on the
cut and pred himself as being ln
, farQr M e:imlnatlng the supervisor
nositions if it could be done without
beine a detriment to the schools.
The deficit is greater this year, he
added, but he believes that the saving
could be mae'e elsewhere than in
abolishing the special supervisors.
