Willamette university cinder path devotees will interest themselves in the an nual inter-class meet which will be staged on Sweetland field next Friday at 3 o'clock.' Whether or not varsity track lettermen will be permitted to compete has not been decided by the interclass rivalry committee, but an opinion on this point will be given early next week. If the old hands can be used, the junfors will probably present the . strongest lineup. Flesher, Kutch and Hathaway, who earned their awards last year in distances and sprints, will probably be the class of the meet in these events. Boothby in the sprints, Tweedie in the jumps, Zeller in the distance events, and Winslow in the low hurdles are others who are expect ed to put the juniors forward to the inter-class title. The material in the Freshman closa is green, but a large number of athletes will be entered in every event in an effort to corral enough points to win out. Craven, Van Dyke, Gull. Poor, McCrow, and ShelLhart are some of the men who are showing up well. Craven, Van Dyke and Poor are sprinters, Mc Crow and Ruch weight men, and Shellhart is a pole-vaulter. The seniors and sophomores probably will present the weakest aggregations. Hartley a letter man, will likely gain a few points for the seniors in the weight throwing. John Russell is anoth er man adept at tossing the dis cus and at hurdling. The sophomores will have Lyle Weed, middle distance man, Tom Maynard, and SEwafford, Milers, intf Pratt, a hurdler, to help them in the competition. The meet will be in charge of Lestle Sparks, varsity track coach and Is a great help each year in sizing up the men for the various events. !..:,;..:.;; ; LASS LIKED BY MENTOR The game of basketball will not be slowed ddwn under the new one bound ruling, declared,Louis Anderson, newly elected Salem high school athletic coach, last night. There will be less tend ency on the part f individuals to hold the ball, the men will get down the floor faster, and stalling will be practically eliminated. It will also do away with in dividual playing to a large extent, said the coach. Under the present system, a clever man can dribble down through the defense and take a shot at the basket, but un der the new ruling, he must have assistance from a team mate. Large men will be better than small men now? for they can get the ball off the backlmard more often, can keep passes up in the air. and can get the ball from the tipoff. Players will be chdeked closer than ever, and impetus - will be given to the man to man iTelense as against five men stationery. If points are to be scored, a player will 'have to shoot quicker atv..d more accurately than at present. Opportunities for open shots will be infrequent. Roughness in play beneath th basket will result. Coach Anderson believes. Three or four men will, be going after the ball after a shot, and the defense will not be idle either. There will be much more fighting to get the ball on the rebound. A long passing game will prob ably be developed by most teams, for the main idea will be to get the ball down the floor as rapidly as possible. Fewer fanls will be called, the coach believes, and the referee's whistle will not have to sound so often as .If does now to call broken dribbles. COUNTY SCHOOL . LEAGUE STARTS The first round of the Marion county grade school baseball tour nament was played off Friday with resulting scores ranging from one run to 42. Brooks furnished the track meet of the day when they wal loped Belle Passe 42 to 4 in 7 innings. The majority of the Brooks team are Japanese boys. The best game of the day ap peared to be that between Aurora and Woodburn, which the former won, 8 to 7. Woodburn led most the way but failed to stem a bat ting rally in the last inning. Central Howell downed its neighbor North Howell by a 22 to 11 score, loose fielding and heavy hitting predominating. Marion beat Jefferson 21 to 14 in much the same kind of game. Hazel Green upset the plans of Fruitland forja victory when they turned the tables 22 to 1. West Stay ton defeated Stayton 11 to 7 in. a hard fought .me. The Mt. Angel-Silverton game will be play ed Tuesday. Second round games are sche3 uled to commence Friday. April 22, and should provide close com petition. The feature game will probably be that between Brooks and Aurora, as the teams are priming for each othe.r, ' Coquille City lets contract for paving 17 streets. 4VTWS,.'!:V-3..;? f- ;.'V- r . r, tz J" -7 . v : : A... ,,:."fV' " V" ...-..-..
