' Termination of the football sea son ' among high schools of Ore gon except for the possibility of still another "state championship" game has left the followers of high school sports free to turn their attention to the basketball season, soon to open. " -yy - In contrast to football, which Is poorly organized throughout the state with the result that It Is al most impossible to determine At state He, baske ball Is horoughly organized, and Salem is vitally In terested in the intersectional ri valry . for the reason s: that the championship games are played at the state tournament, held for the past eight years at Willamete unl versity there. . - ,v Word has "been received here that the winter J meeting of the State High - School Athletic asso ciation will be held at Portland December 30, at which time plans for the, 1928 tournament, will be outlined. " 1 It Is practically assured that the tournament will; be held at . the Willamette university -gymnasium again iu March. This was prom ised a year ago. -on the vondltion that-the universjty, proved Itself able to finance the'event properly. ; .Through the united . support of Salem people and the action of the university; authorities In Increas ing tbe seating -capacity of the Willamette gymnasium, the tour nament was suceesf ully finonced out of gate receipts alone, no re quest being made to townspeople to assist other than In paying ad mission to the games. Further than that, the visiting teams were accorded every possi ble courtesy, Willamette students taking charge of the teams and looking after their welfare while in the city; and the conduct of the tournament wa declared to have been perfect, due to the coopera tion between Physical Director P.. S. Keene of the university, and the officials of the state association. Following the tournament, it was indicated that it would be held here again next year, and that there was a possibility its scope would be; enlarged. To obviate the necessity for any team's play ing two games the same day in the championship series, 1 was sug gested by officers of hie associa tion that the tournament be held on four days, beginning Wednes day, Instead of starting Thursday. Action providing for this change will probably be taken at the meet ing in Portland. Another problem of manage ment was the drawing of teams for opponents, j In past seasons the tournament! has lost Interest be fore the final game, for the rea son that the strong teams met earlier and here was no strong competition for the final game. This did not happen to be the case last March, when Salem and Eugene high quintets drew places on oposlte sides of the bracket so that after eliminating all of the other teams, they met in a thrill ing battle for the title, which Eu gene high captured. In : an effort to avoid an anti- Climax such as bad occurred in previous . years, officers of the state association proposed to make the drawing under the plan of seeding" which is used in the big ger tennis tournaments, the teams from the two districts which pro-' vlded the: winner and runner-no the previous year being "seeded" on opposite sides of the bracket, In such way that they should not draw any; "byes.? Itwas believed that this would be a handicap to Salem and Eu gene high quintets Insofar as it would be unfair to any; but after they had agreed to it, several other schools protested, -with the result that : the plan was not foW lowed. The officers of the state associa tion, however, believed that the plan had merit, and are expected to bring It up for adoption at the meeting in Portland this month.

(AP)--A baffling series of plays from regular formations. wttn occasional long forward pass es, gave Medford high' school a 44 to 0 Tlctory over McLouahUn h!h here today in Oregon's first high school championship football game. Medford scored two touch downs In each of the first, second and third periods, and one in the final peTlod. - " $ While the game was not recog nized, as an official championship contest,; It Assumed much of the appearance of a title tilt. Medford was never threatened seriously by McLougblin. exoent n the first period when the lo cals pushed the ball lover Med- Xord's goal-line, only to hare Ref eree Orion rule the play a fum bled punt. In the third and final periods Hufford and Kreigerwere successful in pushing the ball Into Medford territory, but the advance carried little threat. - Five - plays from 'the kickoff found Medford crossing the goal line with the first score. Itarrell went over" after a 45 ard run to the McLoughlin five yard line. Later, Harrell scored again after Moore ran 60 yards , through broken field before he was over taken by the fleet footed Hufford. In the second period, Swanson sprinted 63 yards for Medford's third counter, and late in the same period. Day, from mldf leld, made a beautiful 20 yard pass to Mt Donald, ' who made a whirlwind dash , to goal. The score at half time was Medford 26, McLaughlin Long runs by Moore, Day and Gamett were the outstanding fea ture of Medford's lay In the third and fourth periods of the game. McLaughlin high opened up and completed several short passes, and at one time, Hufford broke away along the sidelines, for a 3 S yard gain. Kis team mates, howi ever, were unable to meet the Sit uation and could notald hlfir in bearing the burden of the" attack. Thus, their scoring chances failed. The Medford line worked beau tifully on the offensive, making possible long gains by the back- field. McLaughlin's," best gains were made on end runs and on passes, ; Hufford ""and Krteger standing out as stellar perform ers in this work. Hughes, Gawith and Garber played the strongest line game tor the losers. The en tire line on the Medford hlgVteam palyed an outstanding gameeach man covering himself -wltbglpry on the offensive1, and on defensive. The day was perfect"and the field fast. A crowd estimated at 2.000 saw the game. ' HDL DAY HQOP MAY KQT DEVELOP A letter from Jimmy Richard son In California to Coach "Spec" Keene yesterday put something of a damper on the prospects of lin ing up the barnstorming trip tor the Bearcat hoopsters during the Christmas vacation. , Richardson said that colleges in ; that state were loath to schedule games during- their vacation periods and of fer guarantees when the chances of a playing crowd were not bright. Many of the schools, too, he said, will disband their basket ball teams for a week to observe the holidays, f.; -i -'1:' i Keene intimated yesterday that he might call the trip ' off, but would , not know definitely'; until next week. Five games are already arranged for with town and club teams. ; i 7 . 'j If the trip talis to develop," no practice games will be scheduled tor two weeks yet. Fundamentals were being stressed last week and will be next week, until tbe men are thoroughly schooled in Keene's system.

Homer Lyons, manager Is cor responding with the yarlous schools id lining up the season schedule. Nothing definite has yet been done, t Disagreement among boxing fans as to whether Stanley Frye should continue as fight referee on future armory cards has led Harry Levy, chairman of the box ing commission, to call a special meeting of that body Monday noon to consider the matter. The difficulties arose at the last card, when Frye awarded tbe semi-windup bout to Terry Klleen over Maxle Pels, a decision unpop ular to the fans, and so displeas ing to Manager Jack 'Wagner that he held up the main event thirty minutes, refusing' to let his other, charge, Benny Pels, appear in the main event even under, another referee. Only when Joe , Levy, Portland matchmaker, told Wag- ner "he was through In Portland," If Pelz did not go in, did the main event take place. j The future support of Salem, cards. Levy believes, depends upon choosing a referee satisfactory to all. fans. The commissioners have praetlcally decided upon Tom Loutltt, of Portland, whoserved here last year. Loutltt has a ring personality which commands - re spect' and shades all fan dissatis factions with, decisions. His deci sions were well supported last year. Ralph Maeon is also under consideration for the Job. Frye's work as referee on past cards has been regarded as fair and Impartial, but so fickle are fight fans that; one mistake often may throw the skids tinder an of ficial. A change, under the clr-i cumstances. Is considered by the commission as highly desirable. ra s a A A m n 1 . tivw, i0r lBe uayes- Tne NaTy na3 a goat for Ita reiz go was the biggest since -the football mascot.

In a slashing, bitterly fought battle through the muddy morass es of Grant field. Tech's wreckers knocked the advance "dope" into a cocked hat, put an abrupt end to Georgia's march of triumph and simultaneously lifted them selves to the top of the southern conference heap. Tech uncorked an attack that caught Georgia by complete sur prise, ; put over two touchdowns in sensational fashion, and erected . j . , an counter efforts of the mighty bulldogs to tam the tide.
