S I Fred Hall is looking: for some good sparring partners who will go on for a few rounds every evening this week. The big match with Earl Snyder of Corvallis is only a week away March 14--and the brave boys are staying away from prac tice as if it was a boycott ,pr a case of smallpox. Hall finds a dearth of sparring partners in Salem and last night had to fro home without even putting on his trunks. - ; Some active young men who are willing to take on a few boxing lessons from a clever master of the game, are in ur gent demand. They'll be welcome, by ones or by dozens for Hall is an' industrious workman and aims to please- The S. 0. S. call is genuine and in dead earnest. Everything points to an unus ually good card next Tuesday night Snyder, the other top-l!ner. Is working out at Corvallis. Krim and Hayes, who show up for four rounds, ought to put up a clever exhibition.

E LOCAL PRODUCT Question of Where Interest . ing Sport Originated Receives Answer The big biffball game tonight at the armory is canslng numerous perapps to ask "What is biffball, and who started itt" ' It is a game that is almost as old as the association building it- . self, and goes back to the time when George Forbes was secre- ! tary. That was about 17 years' ago. The game, like basketball, was inrented because of necessity of a large number of players i wanting the floor at the same , time. Basketball used to be a great sport and because of the number of teams waiting around for the other teams to play and getting cold, and having nothing to do, the game had its origin. It was intended to give a large num ber of players a chance to play at one time. - Joe Albert, one of the oldest players, says that it was one of the earliest- games played in the T.M.C.A. Volleyball is only a re cent game In the local association. John Bayne is another old timer, who has been playing for years. Nearly every, business man in the city of Salem who has attended the "YV has some time or other played biffball. Paul Wallace re marked the old rules were just the same as hanging two cats on the door knob and letting them go to it, and it was a very common oc curence to carry out the wounded and injured from the game in the early days, which consisted of broken ribs and bad ankles. To day the game is much modern ized. To teams will play at the arm ory this evening, preliminary to the Multnomah-Yellow Jacket game. Bill Entrees is captain of the Democrats and Lloyd Rigdon Is. captain of the Republicans. There is this to be said in fa vor of Viscount Lascelles. the husband of Princess Mary he does not wear a Charlie Chaplin mustache. And there are other extenuating circumstances. MYTHIGAL TEAIifl Coach Roy Bohler Isn't greedy, nor uninformed, when he claims a place in the all northwest bas ketball champion team for one of his boys, Dlmick of Willamette. '. The mythical team, as he ses if. would be made up thus: A GUI, O. A. C, forward. A. Fox. Idaho, forward H jelte, O. A. C.v center, v Bryan,' Washington, guard. . Dimtck, Wil!amette, guard. There have been a number of speedy forwards in the conference, whose work . was of high order. Rich,' and Gurean, of Whitman. Rockley of Oregon.

Three sports promoters, loose with either money or conversation, have agreed to raise a pool of $50,000 for a match between Kil bahe and a youngster by the name of Kid Sullivan. It has become a habit of late to offer large sums to get Kilbane into the ring with a live one, but the featherweight qhampion is playing it safe.

No one could fail of giving the center" honors to Hjelte, of O. A. C. His great height he Is 6 feet S inches- and his exceptional ac curacy and control and speed for a man of his size, make him a center in a class of his own. Because of their place In the team line-up, none of the guards have been great scorers; it's not their place In the economy of bas ketbalL But Bryan, of Washing ton, who was not seen in action here in Salem, and Dimick of Wil lamette, were so excellent In their positions that Coach Bonier picks them above all "other entrants. Dimick especially was a consistent player.- -: t i - : 1 BEARCATS (I 'U telegTaph will give the description and thei habitat of The Big One.

Kirkwood and West Win in Golf at Del Monte DEL MONTE. Cal., March 7. Joe Kirkwood, open golf champ ion of Australia and Arthur West, Australian professional were de feated five up and four to go by Jack NeTillef former state ama teur champion and Mortie Dutra. Pebble Peach professional, in a 3 6-hole match today over the Peb ble Beach and Del Monte courses, Kirkwood shot 74-79-153. It used to be "cherches la femme'Vor find the woman ma mnrder mystery." But that i has all been changed. It now is find lh automobile, - " i L T Albert Logan of Umatilla, fin ishing his sophomore year In Wil lamette, was yesterday unani mously elected captain of the 1923 Bearcat basketball team. Logan played a little last year, with no especial prominence. He did not make the team, and did not seriously try to do so. But this year, he started the season with the first day. Almost in stantly he was picked for a per manent place on the first team, because of his apparent ability. He has played through every game, without being taken out for even a minute. Visiting teams whether they have finally won or lost against Willanette, will have as their most vivid recollection the flashing Logan diving head first into every sort of play. He has stolen the ball more times, and has made ; more impossible pickups in melees than any other player in the northwest. He has TO COACH Hi CITY University of Oregon Foot ball Star Accepts Salem High School Offer Hollls W. Huntington, at the present time director of athletics with the Medford high school, has accepted a similar position with the Salem high schools, according to word received in this city yas terday by George W. Hug, super intendent of public schools. In his letter to Mr. Hug, the Sa lem school board's offer of a sal ary of $1800 a year is accepted by Huntington, who is rated as one of the greatest football stars developed at the University or Oregon, which Is Huntington's al ma mater. Huntington is a brother of Coach "Shy" Huntington who is director of the destinies of Ore gon's eleven. As Huntington's contract with Medford terminates at the expir ation of the school year at Med ford, about June 5, the nrrw direc tor of Salem high school athlet ics will spend a week with the Salem high school athletes before schools close here, June 16. powsiii TOUiEf DATES Willamette to Be Host at State Classic on March 16, 17 and 18 OGAN LEG ED CAPTAIN BEARCAT HUNTINGTON Posters have been sent out an nouncing the state basketball tournament to be held in Salem, March 16, 17 and 18. It is an an nual event, staged by Willamette university as host, and has be come the basketball classic of the state. ' The state has been divided' Into nine districts. It is not certain that all will be represented in the tournament, but it is expected that they will. Some of thexiis tricts have sent In no reports whatever, on which the rtistrict championship can be based, until the season is over. Others are fairly well determined, though in most of the districts there will be games to. play this week, so that the final standing cannot be de termined until the tournament week. Salem is almost certain to rep resent this district. The local boys have lost two games to McMinn vllle, outside this district, but those were non-conference games, and do not count in the champion ship determination, either for the winners or against the losers. Sa lem has lost nothing within the district. , Newberg Is expected to come froa that section, after bavins 1 1 . -V vT ' 'hi.-.. ill"" ; " . ' . - OF T covered more miles of floor, prob ably by 25 per cent, than any other player. He has slid more yards on the floor than any other three men in breaking up plays. For all his strenuous play, he has been penalized only a few times during the season. - Some of the opposing teams made it their business to guard him like a Kohl noor diamond, and he has always made a high score. Sometimes they simply were not fast enough to head him off, as was the case with Oregon in the two Salem games, when he outscored all re cords on the local floor. He hasn't always been a dead shot after his streuous floor work, though in the last Oregon game he made five out of seven goals from free throws. With another, year's close devotion to accuracy at the basket he ought to be the. flash iest forward of the whole north west. defeated, the fast McMinnvllle team that had a record of 10 straight. It is understood that newbery has not lost even one game, if there are no losses be fore the tournament, it will cer tainly come to the Salem meet. Seaside Is understood to have the lead in the coast district. Roseburg and Ashland will de cide among themselves who holds the honors In that section, and one of them is quite certain to at tend the state tourney. Madras and Redmond are believed to have a fight still on to determine who comes from their district east of the mountains. La Grande. Pendleton and En terprise have all claimed the chance-from their district. The series had not been played off to determine the, actual leader. Nothing has been heard from the far-east Oregon district, ' where Ontario, Vale and Huntington would probably fight it out for the supremacy. The drawings cannot be made until the championships are de termined. They will be announced in time to give all the visitors in formation as to their dates for ap pearance here.
