" The Portlaaders , -amassed nine points before the coast team could score at all, and it looked llkeia Tiot for Franklin.

And the rest of the boys from the Coos Bay section are not fense, and every one contributed some points toward. the. rictpry. ! After Franklin had taken every thing for most of the first q.na ter, the Chapman-Norberg com bination got to work and gave Marshfield a . two point lead, 15 to 11, at half time. In the sec ond half Norberg kept on shooting and his team mates had steadied down enough to. help him. They .played an .excep4.ipn.sjly ?!., game, not one of. the quintet com mitting more than one foul. KreUmeir was Franklin's star bath on offense and defense.

Both teams, checked closely. Medford getting only two baskets in each half, and the uni versity city team not many more. Eugene won 21 to 13. Melrin, who had been Medford's high point man the 'day before, did not get a point, the Eugene guards, Lewis and Colbert, keep ing him guarded at, all times. Eu gene took an early lead and coast ed from then on so fas as offen sive play was concerned, its defen sive strength holding the south erners safe. Pitman, who could not get going in Thursday's game, was. Eugene's outstanding player in this contest. Ilels one of the hardest workers on any team in the tournament, fighting for the ball constantly.

They are all of the Finnish race, and the first syllable usually gets the accent .in that language. All of these boys', names are pronounced that way. Coach R. L.

(AP) A comfortable home overlooking Owasco Lake, radiating an atmos phere of peace and respectability, is-the daily scene of murder, earn age, robbery, and hairbreadth es capes at the present rate of 3000 words day. Diamond Dick" and "Nick Carter," dime novel heroes of an earlier generation, live in this house with their creator, George Charles Jenks. lecturer, historian, playwright, actor, theatrical direc tor, editor, printer and newspa perman. The dauntless demon and des perate daredevil have undergone some changes since the y first lured boys to the barn for thrills In paper covers. Diamond Dick in now "Ted Strong," and Nick Car ter adventures forth in a maga- sine instead of a novel. . - The writer of these thrillers is a man ow 7f. For three gener ations' he has entertained the youngsters : of two- continents; I Front 1903 to 1907 he produced 250 Diamond- Dick stories,' eacq 25.000 words in length. At times he wrote 10.000 words day four thrills to the hour, and aver aged four days to the volume.' He got the background for his stories from his newspaper work Once he covered a prize fight fo the Associated. Press on the Pennsylvania-West Virginia border,. lo I caied-there to avoid interference by the, police of either state. After the -fight the crowd fought over the, decision while 'returning on a river steamer. Jenks was forced to the overheated engine room, where he stripped off his on ter, to pen-hla account of the match.' He was born in England in 1850. came to this country in 72.' got a Job as printer's devil in Pittsburgh nd rose; to be an Leditoiial writer for the Pittsburgh Press. .

A few people "booed" the Eu rene players when they were in troduced. Not so good. . There wasn't so much foolish ness in the bleachers Friday'night, There was too much at stake out on the floor. e Some people who parked thir c&rs as close as they could to the Willamette gym had to walk three blocks to get to the game. But thanks to the increased seating capacity, everybody got in and found a place to sit and every seat commands a fall view of the playing -floor. Some Da What Is Expected, but Others Have Startling Collections HOLLYWOOD CAP) What screen stars read in their sf are tiaae is not always what one would expect from watching them act. says Odo Stade. purveyor of books to the Hollywood film colony. Sometimes it is. For instance, Harold Lloyd reads alt of the humorous literature he can get his hands on. John Gilbert goes In for history costumes. Adolphe Menion .enjoys the whimsical sophistication of. such moderns as LAnatole France and James Branch Cabell. ' Matt Moore buys hooks on astronomy. On the other hand. Rod La Rocque is always on the trail ef first editions. Another confirmed collector of editions is Montagu Love, .who knows books so well he picked a rare volume, out of a col lection of second-hand books nsed as "props." Charlie Chaplin does not stress the comic in his reading-. He seeks rather, the . unusual in literature, wherever it mar be found. Harry Langdon, too, -roams a wide field in his reading. John Barrymore Is interested in collections. Monte Blue likes, books on. psychology, and psycho-analysis. Douglas Fairbanks likes detec tive stories,, also books of adven ture. Another detective story tan is-Noah Beery. Mary PJckford la fond of late fiction. So 1b Pole Negri, and the same is true of practically all of the-feminine-stars.

(AP.) An unkind fate has laid its hand on four American league's greatest stars, but. in only. two In stances is it expected to hinder the pennant aspirations of individ ual clubs. Walter Johnson, acclaimed as one of the greatest burlers of all time, has received a fractured leg at the Tampa training camp of the Washington Senators. The leg is in a plaster cast and Wal ter's mishap has dampened the enthusiasm of the rejuvenated Senators. Johnny Moetll, brilliant center fielder of the Chicago White Sox, remains in a serious condition at Shreveport, La., from self-inflicted wounds. Babe Ruth, the feteher of home runs 'and paid admissions., has a strained tendon at the St. Peters burg camp of the New York Am ericans. Eddie Collins, considered by many as one of the "master minds of the four-pointed greensward," still has a blue leg, suffered much in the same manner as Johnson's. Ruth's injury was taken seri ously tonight, for the Bambino has been confined to. his hotel dur ing the day and a trainer worked on tho leg for some time. Meanwhile exhibition games beld the spotlight in Florida. Six teams were in action today. SAN JOSE, Cal., March 11.- (AP) The Portland Beavers held a good workout here this afternoon in preparation for thefr "exhibition game with the Oakland Colored Giants tomorrow.

Unlike the Salem team which started its .game twith La Grande keyed - too high, Eugene played cannily from the start, and speed ed up as it.went long, until: it, hit a. stride that no other team in the tournament had reached: and it kept up that pace until the end. The strain of tournament- play was apparent In Marshfield's game, however, Chapmen ; being the only one on; the team not af fected, by it. This dimlnutlTd for ward - made, .all of Marshfiefd's points but one in the first half, and he kept up -the same pace to the end of the game, gaining the reputation of being the cleverest dribbler of the 80 players who have taken part in the tourna ment. In, the second half, he got some help from his. team mates, and, in the final quarter the coast team held .Eugene even, each scoring eight points. Eberhart and Pitman vied with each other in -leadings the attack for.-Ehgene, and Eberhart hosed out as -high point 'man" with . 16, All on field goals. Both - scored from all sorts of queer positions. Eugene's passing was nothing short of marvelous. ' There was steam behind every throw, and-the players displayed a. knack of hook ing the - ball overhand that made their passes hard to anticipate, and harder to intercept.
