Gene Cyphers Hits
Winning Bucket With
Only 5 Seconds Left
Sandy high’s Pioneers snatched
a victory from almost certain
defeat - Tuesday evening when
Sophomore Gene Cyphers tossed
in a 20-foot one-hander with only
5 seconds left in the game to
defeat Canby 38-37 on the lat-.
ter’s home floor, in the opening
Willamette Valley league con
test for both schools.
For Coach Henry Pete’s bas
ketball crew it was the second
victory in four starts' for the
young 1950-51 season, and the
first victory in Willamette Val
ley league competition.
It was a nip and tuck battle
throughout the second half, and
especially during the final three
minutes. Wayne Frederickson
tossed in a free throw with only
a minute left to break a 35-35
deadlock, but Morgan of Canby
scored a lay-in with a half min
ute to go to give the home team
a 37-36 lead and almost certain
victory.
j Then came the net-splitting
bucket of young Cyphers to
snatch victory from Canby’s
high-riding basketeers.
Wayne Frederickson won high
point honors with 11 and run-
nerup honors went to Kleve,
Canby forward, with 10. Other
Sandy scorers included Barney
Krom (9), Don Gomoll (7), Ray-
nold Lekberg (5), Jack Ander
son (2), Bill Frederickson (2),
and Cyphers (2).
Sandy held a first quarter ad
vantage of 8-5, and 24-19 at the
half, but faltered in the third
period a n d . trailed 30-31 going
into the final frame. The Pion
eers had a poor evening at the
free throw line, making 8 out
of 25 attempts. Canby made
15 out of 24 attempts.
In the preliminary the Pioneer
jayvees coasted to an easy vic
tory over the Canby juniors,
31-28. The locals built up an
8-1 first quarter lead and held
a comfortable 17-8 halftime ad
vantage.
Koch topped the Pioneer
scorers with 10 points but high
game honors went to Kraft,
Canby guard, who potted 14
points, exactly half of the Canby
total.

Strawberry Growers Study
A bove Average Production
Strawberry growers in Clack
amas county are cooperating in
a production survey in order to
find factors which. influence
above average yields of straw
berries. The survey is in co
operation with Oregon State col
lege, U.S.D.A. and Leon Garoian,
county extension agent.
The survey was suggested by
the county’s small fruits advis
ory committee headed by Glen
Schaeffer, Kelso district straw
berry grower.
“Object of the survey,” ac
cording to Mr. Schaeffer, “is to
find out how important are fac
tors such as time of planting,
soil preparation, fertilization,
source of plants, depth of cul
tivation and plant storage.”
“To successfully remain in
the strawberry growing indus
try, it is important that we be
able to produce yields high
enough to compete with neigh
boring states. It is the purpose
of this questionnaire to find out
how some growers are consist
ently getting high yields,” states
Mr. Garoian.
As soon as questionnaires are
returned to the extension of
fice, they will be summarized
by George Waldo, UJ3.D.A.
strawberry plant breeder and
Mr. Garoian. Summaries will
be presented to growers at the
regular winter meeting for
small fruit growers.
