Heavy firing was resumed this morning at Lah chow, about a hundred miles northeast of this city, resulting in heavy damage to the railway sta tion and numerous casualties among civilians. It is, believed that a 1 general attack by the Fengtien army on Marchal Chang Tso-Lin, the Manchurian chief, against the Kuominchun (national armies) defending the line of the Lan river for the central govern ment is imminent.

Are Basketball Tournament; Slight Odds Said to Favor Local Five; Tickets on Sale r ' 'f;f ' The "ancient rivals" of the Willamette valley will clash here tonight in the Willamette "university gymnasium when the Salem and Eugene high school basketball teams will meet to decide the high school hoop championship of the state of Oregon. Both teams won the right to compete in the finals by decisive victories scored in the semi-finals last night when Salem won from McLoughlin 31 to 18 and Eugene defeated Grant high of Portland 32 to 19. -. -; Tonight's fray; will be, what sport writers delight to call a, "oatue or tne century." for years rivals in all ! branches of athletic endeavor, Salem and Eu gene will meet to decide the win ner of one of the greatest sport titles of the state, the Wilson cup. Salem Is considered to have the edge in tonight's final clash. On February 19 she defeated Eugene by the decisive score of 30-22. Sa lem had the advantage of play ing in her own city and the early elimination of Coleman, Eugene's pivot man, from the contest has been given out as one of the rea sons for the difference in the score. Coleman was knocked dizzy when he ; collided with J. Drager. With Coleman back in the game to serve as floor general for the Eugene boys, the general predic tion is that the score will be close, whatever the outcome of the game. Also; Eberhart, Eugene center, has been "on" during the entire tournament, and must be figured in the result if he keeps up;topigM.the.pacaJehaa st- Salem's strong claim , for ' the game tonight lies in three fac tors, the powerful J. - Drager-Duffey-Siegmund combination, the throwing, ability of the two guards, dinger and J. Drager, and the close checking ' when on the defense.. .. ; . . i Although few in town are will ing to predict a decisive score, little money can be found to back the boys from the state university town.
