Ashland w6rj the state high school basketball championship
last iiight in the final of the state tournament, with a decisive
score of 45 to 22 against Pendleton, the runners-tip.
It wag rather" an upset in this prophetic "dope," for while
Ashland .nad eome with a formidable reputation, the Pendleton
Duckaroos brought beef and blood and brawn and skill that had
made them the general favorites for the-1 pennant. They bad
played a slashing game in the semi-finals, crushing the Eugene
team that bad been supposed to be fairly a match for the Ash
landers, by a score of 35 to 21.
. In the finals, the Ashland team
opened, up with a speed and ac
curacy" that simply dazzled and
bewildered the Uulldoggers. They
danced' ever the floor light as
fairies, swift as thadows. sure as
fate. No such ball has been rteen
In any ot the earlier games. Ash
land simply opened tip a new and
inexhaustible ' bag-of tr'ck and
endurance, and from the first five
minute the game was sure
Pendleton I Fwt
" The Pendleton team has some
fast,: resourceful men; sturdy,
muscular phenoms who seemed
invincible. 'And they have been
well coached; they did some of
the cleverest picking up of the
ball from the floor, and pivoting
around a.n opponent, shown In
the tournament. But for sheer
speed the Ashlanccra surpassed
them; for shooting, the Ashland
ers were tike .trained men to raw
boys. Each team lost one man

for over zeal.
I leer of Ashland hardly lived
tin to hi reputation as an infal
lftIe foul shooter, be being able
to convert only five out of 11
tries. W. Kramer, however, for
Pendleton, got only two out of
seven. Neither approacnea tne
spectacular foul shooting ot San
demon of Astoria, in the first
tournament game, when he made
seven out of ten tries.
Kagene Puralyzed j
The invincible man-to-man
guarding with which Pendleton
had swamped the Eugene team
In . the sem'-finals, failed abso
lutely against the faster, tireless
Asblanders. It bad paralyzed the
Eugene players. It never feazed
the Ashland plan, which slipped
around It like a rabbit going
around a stump. Herr and Guth
rie, Ashland forwards, scored 19
and 22 points, respectively; they
were guard-proof. Guthrie in
particular Is a star of collegiate
class. He doesn't obtrude into
the landscape, but he' Is making
points with bewildering rapidity.
W. Kramer or Pendleton, for
ward, Is ono of the most impres
sive floor players of the tourna
ment. Most critics would place
him' as one of the stars of the
series.
Ramsay of Ashland had a little
the better of Lawrence, the Pen
dleton pivot man; though each
scored four points Cahill of
Pendleton, who had gone out or
the Eugene ipame for personal
fouls, stayed through the final
game, playing a star guard part
and scoring- four points. Only
the two forqed substitutions were
made during the championship
game.
Ashland Itooter Come
The Ashland team bad a .riotous
team of 60 or more "rooters,"
many of them girls, who put on
the clevterest yelling that has
been shown in Salem this year.
Their yell leader Is a whole tour
nament in himself. The final
verdict was profably one of se
cret if not expressed satisfaction.
The Ashland team is certainly a
bona fide high school team, and
wefl wlthtin the interscfiolastic
age of 21 years. A general doubt
was expressed whether certain.

Cowboy players will ever see the
age of 21 until their next rein-1
carnation. That might be a cruel
and unwarranted suspicion, but
It was quite current, and explains
some of the crowd's secret satis

The players were:

po'nts in this time. Neither Hob

Crowd Knthusiastic
The crowd faily 'went, wild as
he time drew near for tho end
or the game-, and A3torfa was
crowling up to almost to the win
ning score. It was the wildest
demonstrat on that the tourna
roent had seen. It was the only
game in tha whole scries that was

As most of the teams had stayed

Pendleton 5; Eugene 21
In the semi-finals Saturday af
ternoon, Pendleton defeated Eu
gene by a score of 35 to 21. The
Buckaroos were the faster, heav
ier, more resourceful." The Eu
gene team that had swamped the
Redmond visitors Friday seemed
curiously immature against tha
powerful easterners. The Tendle
ton team were. shooting well, to
boot. In every department of
the game tbey were superior.
Their guarding was of the air
tight kind. Seldom did a Eugene
man get past for a good shot.
The speed shown by the Pendle
ton team made them look like the
logical champions of the tourna
ment. They played the kind of
ball one would expect from pow
erful men of their build, though
rteither W. Kramer nor Holmgren,
their star scoring forwards, had a
single personal foul called against
them. W. Kramer coverted five
out of seven foul throws, where
Smith of Eugene made only five
out of 12 tries. Cahill, guard for

Ashland 28; Astoria 27
What a little different drawing
might have meant for the tourna
ment, was curiously shown in thi
case of Astoria. This gallant
team, after playing the heaviest
schedule ot the tournament, lost
in the semi-finals to Ashland, by
the narrowest score of 28 to 27;
nd they gave the Ashlanders
the scare of their lives in hold
ing the scora so close. Indeed
there was at first a question
whether the Astorians hadn't won
a clean victory, for while the ref
eree had whistled for a held ball.
and officially stopped the play
Diamond, th9 Ostoria center, did
not recognize the signal in the
babel of sound that filled the hall
and threw a basket just as the
gun signaled for the end of the;
game." As the ball had been of
ficially dead before the throw was
started, of course it could not
count, so the score of 28 to 27
in favor of Ashland, stood instead
of 29 to 28 for Astoria.
, Had Ashland me. Pendleton for
the semi-finals, and cleaned them
as they did in the finals; and had
Astoria drawn Eugene for the
semi-finals, there might easily
have been a championship in As

IS fill
Full arrangements have been
made for the big Salem high-
Cbemawa smoker to be held at
the high school gymnasium Tues
day night. It looks like one of
the most interesting athletic pro
grams ever put on in Salem.
it starts with a "battle royal,"
with four Salem high athletes in
the ring. This is staged with
four husk'es, the two Frazier
brothers. John Caughill, and
Don Ringle. All these boys have
been boxing pretty steadily this
winter, and the man who sur
vives after putting the other three
out of the ring is going to look
like a world's champion. The cur
tain goes up promptly at 7:30.
Four wrestling matches are be
ing put on with Chemawa.
Rryson of Chemawa and Post
of Salem will meet at 160 pounds.
Bryson is unknown here in town,
but he s claimed to be a whirl
wind out at his home, and Post
is one of the most consistent
winners in the Salem squad.
H. Jackson of Chemawa will
meet Blankenship at 140 pounds.
This is another good promise, as
Blankenship ranks well with his
mates here in Salem, and they
believe Jackson is a coming
champion at Chemawa.
Hansen of Chemaw and "Bill"
Wright will go at 136 pounds, and
M. Jackson of the Indians will
take on Noske of Salem at 135.
The Indians have been working
steadily for ' the past several
weeks. At the time of their last
meeting they did not show much
dinary strength, and if they have
taken on some skill to boot, they
ought to make even the clever
est of the local lads go to their
top speed to hold them even.
Ellis White, captain or the
Salem team. was to have met
Williams of Chemawa, but an In
jury received in training has
forced this match off the card.
Two inter school boxing match
es are to be offered. The first is
between "Jew" Beskert, rated as
a whirlwind from the Indian
camp, and Lorenzo Perry of Sa
lem, at 120 pounds. Perry won
over his Indian opponent In their
last match, but In the substitu
tion of Beckert the Chemawa
boys believe they have a sure
winner over the clever Perry.
This will be for four rounds. Min
thorn of Chemawa is to meet
Henningsen of alem at 130
pounds. .Minthorp has been work
ing out with Krim. the flashy In
dian lightweight, and is rated as
a fast, clever boxer. Henningsen
too. has been working with a fast
professional boxer, and is ex
pected to show in the speed class.
Two other bouts are to be
staged between Salem hi eh box
ers. One is between Ellis Welty
and Don Warden, at 126 pounds.
The other is between Rex Adolph.
and Burris at 175 pounds. These
will be for three rounds.
The "smokeless smoker" tick
ets sell for 50 cents, and they
promise a finely varied evening's
entertainment.

Bohler Not Ready to An
nounce Championship Se
lection at Once
There are many guesses for the
All-Oregon championship team.
Coaoh Roy Bonder of Willamette
reckoned a good authority, said
Saturday afternoon.
"I haven't picned my cham
pionship team. I want to talk
with the othe- coaches about i'.
Maybe we'll be able to vote a
championship team ou. of the
splend'd array of talent that was
shbwn. Th3 tournament was a
wonderfnl success in every way,
in its bringing v representatives
from every district, and in the
quality that they show." r
Out of almost everv team could
be chosen on? or two especial
stars. W. Kramer of Pendleton
would probably be a choice ol
most good critics, for on- for
ward. He was not quite so good
a scorer as Heer of Ashland, but
he was probably more active In
floor work. Guthrie o Ashland,
would bt a unanimous ehoica for
one forward. It is doubtful whe
ther If even the redonbtabl.; Fox
of Idaho, or ' Slats" Gill ot O. A.
C. could have more thin match
ed him. Welergrm of Astoria
was an exceptional plajer. Som3
mign with reason g!v him a
place.
Ramsay of Ash'and. and Hollo
way of Redmond, were perhaps
the class of centers. Pendleton
had a valuable man in Lawrence.
Against North Bend, he scored 10
po'nts but Bolcom. the stalwart
North Bend -enter, mad 12, and
he had been longer la the series,
he m'gbt have stood up well for
the all-star team. For aggressive
fighting every second of the time
"Pickles' Lennon of Salem would
earn, first before almews mut jary
fbr all-round team valuo though
tycould not quite equal some of
the other taller, sure-scoring cen
ters namod.
Because he is a deadlv shot
from the foul line, and because
he Is likewisj u cool, resourceful

the top of the guard list, though
