tion of the fight to the finish of
eight basketball 'teama -nceklng state
high school honors. The opening
, day of the Oregon tournament wit
nessed' the elimination of eight of
tho ltr teams for a chanco for first
place, but by no means ousted them
from chances to place In the first
I eight.' - '
? ' After : today's games four of the
cbn test ants will be eliminated from
further play entirely. These will be
decided before 8 o'clock at which
time all losers of yesterday's games
will have played. Looming out of
thd fray of yesterday were Astoria,
Benson, Corvallla and Nohalemi, and
it Is these four teams which are ex
pected to come nearest to the title
with Salem not to bo too easily side
tracked. " ' " '
Salem Hal I It to Win
Mri rah field high school gave Salem
n' scare last night when It was lead
ing 14 to 8 at the first quarter. But
with its regular center out of the
game by Illness, the Coos Bay boys
weakened later, and the host to the
visiting quintets overcame tho lead
and' wilt remain In the champion
ship' brackets by ;a 43 to 33 victory.
Klamath Falls high school was de
feated' by Hood River in what was
' considered the only upset of the first
clay's dope. The Klamath boys failed
to click In the first quarter and half
of tho second, and before ttrey could
work their combinations they faced
nn 8 -point lead. But this did not
discourage them and they took the
lend shortly afterward 14 to 13. Hood
River changed from their percent
age style of play to fast scoring, and
llnally settled the argument by a
31 to 27 score. It was a good, game
xo wni.cn. z : -i- . '
Nehalem , and Coryallls had' little
difficulty In overcoming their op
ponents In the early ovcnlng games,
with Nehalem turning In the largest
ecoro in Its victory over Oregon City,
60 to 31. Corvallla defeated Silver
ton by a 36 to 15 score. These two
teams will meet tonight. ,

from Baker yesterday.

in what was expected to bo a close
game." Athena Is expoctod to de

Falls battle will be close,
i iThe large crowd of fans wltnosslng
the gume-an-hour program yester
day saw m tho Hood Rlver-Klamath
Falls contest what was perhaps tho
oddest gnmo seen In a state tourna
jnent.. For seven minutes the teams
battled without scoring a field goal,
one free throw alone proving thero
wero no wires over the hoops.
Mcanwhllo the teams battled up and
down- the floor, exhibiting excellent
teamwork and close chocking and
wild' shooting. Finally Brecken
left handed Hood River forward who
broke Into print recently for his,
high scoring rocord, shattered tho'
spell with a field goal. Hood Rlvor
led 4 to 0 at the quarter.
Then after the score was 8 to 0,
Klamath's tall boys begun to click
and kept it up until they moved a
point nhead. of Hood River shortly
ufter the second half opened.
Hero another odd thing happened.
.Hood River suddenly shifted from a
percentage game to a fast broak, and
the surprise was sufficient,, along
with iirccklnrldge's shooting and
some help from Hood Ulvcr, Kresse
.and Lnkien, to shove tho Applo
Pickers for ahead again.
. Kltunath came back strong with
Bstes. Kuleval and Allen doing the
heavy . work, and threatened until
tho final gun, breaking up Hood
River's '"stnU" but falling to stop
the Mld-Columbla team's renewed
attack.

Grand National
Will Ik Run In
England Friday
LIVERPOOL, Eng., Mar. 17 W
Thirty-seven horses will start tomor
row the long Journey over the four
and one-half mile course at Alntree
known as the grand national.
Not all will finish. They never
do. But for the horse and rider that
successfully Jump the 32 difficult
obstacles of water, brush and vtone
and then manage to show the way
post tho Judges' stand, there await
fame and riches.
I' To the successful rider, the purse
will be small in comparison with
the millions of dollars distributed
through the gigantic sweepstakes.
Thirteen American-owned horses
have been named for the race, the
blue ribbon of steeplechase events,
first run in 1839. Only one Sea
Soldier is American bred. He Is a
son of Man o' War, and Is entered
in the name of A. H. Hi black and
backed by a syndicate of ten wealthy
Chicago sportsmen.-
:Sea Soldier is an outsider in the
official betting at the Victoria club,
being quoted at 50 to 1. But many
long shots, some of them Just com
mon "nagB," have won. History does
not favor the Jumping son ,of Man
o War as only one American-bred
horse, Rublo, ever won the race and
he was English-owned,
Mrs. O. 8a Bird Jr.'s Heartbreak
Hill is the most highly favored of the
foreign group to repeat the American-owned
x triumphs of Stephen
Laddie) Sahford's Sergeant Murphy
in 1923 and A. Charles Schwartz's
Jack Horner In 1020. Mrs. Bird's
Irish bred- Jumper has climbed to
the position of second choice at
11 to 1.
Ornkle Is Favorite
'C. R. Taylor's Grakle, winner last
year, rules the favorite at odds of
8 to 1 but here again history Is
against the. chances of the 10-year-old
Jumper .repeating. Lottery, win
ner of the first grand nation, was
the only horse ever successful In win
ning ther!frace two consecutive years.
Three others- won the event twice
but a year or more intervened be
fore their second victories?
Gregalach, the high weight of the '
field with 175 1 pounds and winner .
in' 1020, Is third favorite at 100 to
7 in tho callovere. Mrs. M. A. Gem
mell's Star ffjao finished second to
Grakle lost; year.
Dusty Foot, hope of John . Hay
Whitneyis the only other American
horse quoted in the official1 betting.
Ho is held at 28 to 1. Whitney's
chances for a grand national triumph
were somewhat dimmed when Sir
Lindsay, third two years ago, went
wrong two weeks ago.
In tho unofficial odds, the re-,
malning American horses are quoted
all the way from 33 to 1 on John
Drake's Coupe De Chapeu at 200 to
1 against H. Gordon Self ridge's Rud- ;
dyman. R. K. Mel Ion's Ganglesla, '

(Associated Press Sports Editor)
Tho partial retirement of Jean
Borotra from Davis cup play, which
probably foreshadows hia complete
withdrawal vithln the next year or
two from all major tournament com
petition, takes from international
sport one of Its most colorful and
gallant figures.
The bounding businessman from
Blarrita has been a top flight tennis
player and for over ten years his
beret topped figure has been as fa
miliar at Forest Hills and Wimble
don as on the courts of his own
country. , , ...
Of late years . his business inter
ests have been taking more and
more of his time and it was Inevi
table that sooner or later he would
find It necessary to give up one or
tho other.
Borotra leaves behind an Impres
sivo record. He has been a mem-
. ber of French Davis Cup teams
them. Twice he has won the singles
title at Wimbledon.
Ho is seeking this year his fourth
United States indoor ,tltle and has
held the indoor crown of his own
country many times.
Strangely enough he has won the
French) outdoor title only once and
never has captured the United
States grass courts crown.
Tho nearest he over came to win
ning the United States title was in
1926 when he was defeated in the
finals at Forest Hills by his fellow
countryman, Rene Lacoste.

But it Is not so much as. a compet

Tho Baylor University Bears, win
ners of the Southwest conference
basketball title, have the Southern
Methodist quintet to thank for their
triumph. The Mustangs, at least,
should be credited with an impor
tant assist. - ..
After having scored only one vic
tory f. in . 11 ; conference ; starts, the
Methodists sprang the biggest upset
of- the season by trimming Coach
Francis Schmidt's Texas Christian
university team 32 to 30 In their
final game at Dallas, giving Baylor
the championship. A T. C. U. vic
tory would have necessitated a play
off for the crown.
Texas Christian, defending cham
pion, had walloped the Mustangs, 52
to 10, only the previous week, and
Baylor had administered a 40 to -28
mauling to the Mustangs just three
nights before the big upset. As It
was, Baylor finished Its schedule with
10 victories and two- defeats, T. C.
U. with nine triumphs, and three
losses. The Mustangs wound up in
the cellar, but they had their night.

dred-yard dash out on the west coast
this year -
A big blond-headed lad by the
name of Bob Klesel seems to have
convinced coast critics that he has
a very good chance to run shoulder
to shoulder with the .Trojan flash
any time they meet.
Klesel- Is the lad, you may recall,
who. an awkward appearing 15-year-old
high school kid, qualified
for the V. S. Olympic team In the
Pacific, .coast tryouts In 1928. but
who was later persuaded by friends
to drop out because of his evtreme
youth.
Now the pride of the University
of California track team, in his first
tryout this year Klesel ran 80 yards
In 8 1-6 seconds, and running easi
ly, covered the hundred in 9 4.6 sec
onds. With the characteristic- con
servatism of a coach speaking of
hi. nrnrinrt. the veteran Walter
ChriLtle limits himself to the pre
diction that "Klesel snouio u buuu
for a point or two In the hundred
In the dual me;ts and In the I. C.
4-A meet."
TF.MPI.ETOX HAVE
However, it has taken DinK riem
pleton,', Stanford track coach. . really
to turn, on the heat over Klesel's
prospects.
The good Dink, doubtless pleased
at an opportunity to prick his
friends at the University of South
ern California, wrote a short time
ago in the San Francisco Call-Bulletin
that when right Klesel "should
worry about Prankie Wykoff or any
of the rest of them."
Dink' saw Bob perform in a high
school meet shortly before the 1028
Olympic trials, and has been one of
his biggest boosters since. He is
"the only man I have ever seen who
could run faster and in more per
fect form simply by trying harder,"
