LA GRANDE EVSaKlNG OBSERVER LA GRANDE, ORE:
U GRANDE AND
COVE FAVORED
Guess Also is That Either
North Powder or Joseph
Will Be Third Team.
vBy Noma Hklff ,
Day after tomorrow eight basket
bull jtenms,; mora nearly on. 'par in
. strength than as many teams have
ever! been in the Union -Wallowa dis
trict, will begin a two-day tourna
ment) here to determine which of the
eight;-; will enter the district finals
at Union Mar. 3, 4, 5.
" They will lino up In the first round
as follows: : - ,
Friday. -morning
0:80 Imbler vb. La Grande.
- 10:30-r-E(iterprlae vs. Wallowa.
Friday afternoon
1:30 Elgin vs. North Powder..
2:30 Joseph vs. Cove.
And Friday afternoon and evening
four more games will be played, with
two -of .the eight learnt) to be dim
In a ted after the day's two rounds of
basketball contests.
Which two will be eliminated? And
which two will win in the first two
rounds, thus assuring themselves of
entrance to the Union tournament?
5'Thoao two f questions, answered.' In
ordinary years without much diffi
culty, stand forth as extremely dif
ficult this year, but .we're going to
guess, lust the same.
Our guess, and that's as strong
ns we'll go, is that La Grande, Wal
lowa, North Powder and Cove will
win (n the first round, throwing Imb
ler; Enterprise, Elgin and Joseph Into
. thfii first two elimination, gomes.
p-.If that should transpire, it would
put Imbler against Enterprise and
fiiBln against Joseph. The odds then
would favor Imbler and Joseph to
win, with Enterprise and Elgin the
first two eliminated. ; ,
La Grande, Cove Favored'
ui Going iback- to the topj of the
braokotr.we also would pick La Grande
to win a second game, defeating Wal
lowa, and, Cove to come through
Over . North . Powder. That would
throw. Cove and La Grande Into the
tournament at Union, and also pit
the. -two, against each other for the
tournamtont'amplonship. -.
If our guess, is right, and. -the
tournament should go that way,, then
how about the other. team to qualify?
,' All right, let's take a look. Third
round games then would be as fol
lows: . l (i
j Imbler-would play Joseph and Wal
lowa would- play North Powder,-with
the two losers eliminated, probably
Imbler and North. Powder, although
wo aren't quite so sure about that
guess. j 1 h ' ; .h v '
Joseph or North Powder? '
At any rate, we feel fairly safe in
predicting that La 'Grande, Cove and
either Joseph or North Powder will
play at Union, but don't bet on our
guesses I , , ..u..
The sub-district .tournament .will
begin Friday morning and continue
through the day, with games Satur
day afternoon and evening, .

Owls, Win from.
Baker Antlers
In Rough Till
In a basketball game that was,
marred by rough stuff that at one
time in the second quarter threatened
a free-for-all, the Roy Farnom Owls
defeated the Baker .Antlers here 27
to 23 last night. m ', i -"i
A small crowd witnessed the game,
which was played at the L. D. 6.
Recreational hall. -; - ' ,
During the first half the Owls had
complete . control of the situation,
finishing the second quarter on the
long end of a 23 to 8 score, largely I
due to the uncanny shooting -of Clrve
Moore, forward, who -shot eight field
goals, some of them from difficult
angles. . rv . . s. . .t.
In the last half-Payne and; Eddy,
of Baker, accounted for six field goals
and Landreth scored one, while only
Davlfn and Crawford could find the
basket for the Owls. The La Oranders
used numerous substitutes: in , the
second half and at no time presented
the type of basketball they exhibited
In the opening periods of the gome.
In the second quarter- Hays, former
Enterprise player but now with Ba
ker, and Jack Loyd became embroiled
in a brief flstio encounter after both
went to the floor. After a few mo
ments of tenseness, the thing was
quieted down and the game resumed.
The encounter occurred when the
ball was dead.

.Formal announcement of the se

universities avoided mentioning ' the
name of Erny Pinckert, for two suc

up after he made a. recent appear

Although the : act consisted of

I even at Worcester in 1926, there have
i been four additional tournaments re
the play-off -round was 18 holes, and
two were required before Macfarlane
emerged the winner by a single stroke.
As I recall At, nothing was done
about the shortrroute play-off until
after the Oakmont affair of 1927,
when Tommy Armour and Harry
Cooper tied at 301 and. Armour won
tho extra .round, 76 to 79, which was
not as sour golf on the Oakmont
oourse of that period as you might
fancy. ; i -
Then, ' before any more ties oc
curred, the United States Golf as

In 1929, ,Jones lost half a dozen
strokes In the .last six holes to Al

him, but Bobby won the -ensuing
play-off, at 36 holes.

. George -Von Elm canned a J2
foot putt on the 72nd green at In

BllUo Burke. And they played-off
and played-off until everybody was
nearly dead with excitement and
exhaustion,
. I remember this particularly, . as
I, was broadcasting the tournament
and tho play-off, and I had predicted
after the second round that the
tournament would come out in a tie.
I t.hen predicted that the first
play-off would come out in a tie, and
when that happened, the U. S. G. A.
officials and the tournament offi
cials got me In an upper room of the
Inverness club and told me what
would happen to me if I predicted
any nnore ties, and they came off.
So I laid of the predicting, hav

went to the lost green and a margin

play-off was too much for the pow

day following the tournament, so if
It should come out In a tie, they can

Hay. and. feed. grain supplies in the
western states are rather short, the
report said, although conditions look
favorable -for better yields of these
crops In 1932. An increase of 7 per

for corn niiay be expected to exceed
tho supply and tho acreage might be

economists declare. .
. GliUMANY TO MJY WHEAT :
...BERLIN,, Feb. 24 (fP) A prediction
was made in local grain circles that
Gormany would re-enter the world
wheat market within the next 30
days, pending an inland adjustment
of the price of grain and following
discussions.' ot a revision of a wheat
tariff and removal of port of the mill
ing restrictions.
Because Germany exported a great
deal of wheat last fall, these circles
said, an, abnormally short cereal crop
will make it necessary to import
sufficient wheat , to feed the people
until the new harvest.
Certificates were given those who
exported wheat last fall entitling
them to import an equal quantity
whenever they wish.
Grain circles here said they ex
pected the American, Argentine and
Canadian . markets would split the
benefits of Germany's probable pur
chases unless the United States farm
board were willing to release another
7,600,000 : bushels on terms similar to
those governing the last purchase.

S. POLICY. ! . v
IN CHINA IS, 4
MADE CLEAR
(Continued From Page One)
committee, Secretary , Stimson ' said
observance of treaties would . have
avoided the present Slno-Japanese
situation and that no evidence had
come to this government that com
pliance with them would , hnvQ in
terfered with, the protection of all
legitimate foreign rights in China i.;
American Attitude Firm.
The secretary of state, in thesev
eral thousand, word communication,
pronounced America's;., policy. :iilled
with detailed background, in the Far
East difficulties ;as. one squarely be
hind the , open door, , policy and the
nine power treaty, tinder whichithafc
policy was subscribed to by. the prin
cipal powers.
The letter was in response to a re
quest., by; Borah , for on,, opinion
whether conditions in China have
indicated, the. inapplicability , or, 'in
effectiveness of the nine power treaty
and whether It was in need of modi
fication. ...
The nine power treaty,. Stimson
wrote, was . entered into by Japan
j and the other signatories at a time
when China was engaged in an at
tempt to dovelop free institutions and
the powers realized. China would re
quire many years to attain that end.
Covenant of Self Denial , .
"The treaty was thus a covenant
of self denial among the signatory
powers in deliberate, renunciation of
any policy of aggression whioh might
tend to interfere with that develop
ment,"' the secretary said in part. "It
was believed the whole history of the
development of the 'open door' pol-
( icy reveals that faith that only by
such a process, under the protection
of such an agreement, could the full
I est Interest not only of China, but of
all nations which have Intercourse
j with her. best be served." ;
j , The secretary reminded that , "on
I Jan. 7th, upon the instruction of the
president, this government formally
notified Japan and China that It
I would not recognize any ". situation,
; treaty or agreement entered into by
those governments in violation of the
covenants of these treaties (the nine
power and ' the Kellogg-Briand
treaties) which affected "the rights
of our government or its citizens in
.China."
"If a similar decision should be
' reached and a similar position taken
by the other governments of the
. world." he continued, "a caveat will
bo placed upon such action which,
wo believe, will effectually bar the
j legality hereafter of any title or right
sought to be maintained by pressure
or treaty violation, and Which as has
been shown by history in the post
will eventually lead to tho restora
tion to China of rights and titles of
I which she may havo been deprived."
I Stimson said recent events in China
and especially the hostilities begun
in Manchuria and extended to Shang
, hal, far from 1 indicating the advls
1 ability of treaty modification, have
tended to emphasize "the vital im
portance of the faithful observance
of the covenants."
He avoided any attempt to place
finger on the sore spot of blame for
tho Far Eastern troubles. ' '
