SALEM H1BH SLATES
ES
. Who will be high school state
champion of Oregon in 1928 may
be indicated before the tourna
ment is held,
Salem high school yesterday
completed arrangements for a two
game series with Medford I n
southern Oregon for February 3
and 4. and with two other possi
ble title contenders on the sched
ule, Eugene and Astoria, a fair in
dex of the strength of the various
schools in this section will be
pretty well established almost a
month before the big show is stag
ed in the Willamette gym.
What eastern Oregon will pro
duce this year in the way of bas
ketball teams is a bit uncertain,
but it is significant that never Hi
the tournament's history has the
title been won by other than a
Willamette valley or southern Ore
gon team.
The lack of proper playing facil
ities and the long distance between
contending schools are features
which slow up development of out
standing teams in eastern Oregon.
The night before the first game
gainst Medford, Salem will play
Ashland, making three tough con
tests in a row. Ashland one year
won the state title, but have usually-been
bested by Medford for
the privilege of competing in the
tournament.
On the schedule, now practical
ly complete, announced yesterday
by Manager Homer Lyons is a
game against Washington high
school of Portland for January 13.
This is the night Willamette uni
versity pays Gonzaga here, and it
Is possible that the two games will
be put on as a double header in
the Willamette gymnasium on a
fifty-fifty basis.
Some new material for the team
was uncovered yesterday when
Coach Louis Anderson pitted his
men against the Black fCats, a lo
cal independent aggregation. Sa
lem high won the game by a 40
to 18 score.
Charles Kelly, Bob's brother
and a budding star in the football
backfield last fall, broke into a
forward berth and by, his show
ing yesterday, may be kept there
for the season, at least until Tom
Duffy Is eligible. With Kelly at
forward was Schafer. Ecker and
Bob Kelly at guard and Lyons in
his customary berth at center
completed the team which wal
loped the Black Cats.
Anderson indicated yesterday
that this would be his starting
lineup against the Finns next Fri
day and Saturday at Astoria. ,
Ten or twelve men will be ta
ken to the Columbia river city in
a bus starting Friday morning if
the highways are in a good condi
tion. PETTIT REFUSED

DIAMOND SEASON
ALREADY TALKED
Weather in the Willamette val

ball, but there are a lot of peo
ple thinking about the national
sport, even though the earliest
practice is more than a month
awav.
Within the last few days two
have approai hed Manager Leo
"'Frisco" Edwards. One was a
hefty pitcher who looked like he
i-ould put a lot of weight behind
the ball, and the other was an out
fielder. Meanwhile Edwards has heard
from another source of a prospec-

for next season. Word has been re

the father of a husky boy born

he expects to have him ready to

; Cardinal, Bearcat hoop star at
center, is temporarily on the shelf
with a bad ankle and lee because
of an injury suffered in the Mo
hawk game, and the chances for a
good showing against University
of Oregon are much minimised.
Coach "Spec" Keene said yester
day.
The two game series is sched
uled for Friday and Saturday of
this week at Eugene.
Whether Cardinal will play de
pends upon prompt healing of the
injury. While it is not a serious
one. Keene wishes to take no
chances of having Cardinal laid up
when the team plays Pacific In the
first conference tilt, January 20.
Strength to the squad was add
ed yesterday when Glass, a fresh
man, an all-state guaTd from In
diana, reported to Keene. havint
returned . from his holiday vaca
tion in Califronia.
Manager Swegle of the Oregon
Mohawks is not satisfied with the
result of the game against the
Bearcats last week, when his team
lost 3d to 29, and has asked Keene
for a return game.
Swegle declared that the ab
sence of Roy Okerberg, all-coast
center, weakened his offense 85
per cent. Okerberg started from
Eugene at 4:15 in the afternoon
h Aid not arrive in time to start
at center on account of the treach
erous condition of the highway.
With the regular playing season
approaching, Keene does not eye
another game with the Mohawks
with any satisfaction and proDaDiy
will not schedule It.

Round 0 -JUftft
The poor showing of Bobby
Jonei and the victory of Tommy
Armour In the U. 8. open golf
championship tourney were the
high spots of the month of brides.
Atlanta Bobby started off In the
open with a score of 7t. His sec
ond round fotind him with a score
of 72, and he wound up the tour
ney with a total of 309 strokes.
His showing throughout the play
was poor enough to worry his
most araent supporters, it was
his worst score In an open event
since he broke In. He had a 303
at Columbia In 1921.
Coincident with Bobby's blowup
came a popular victory for Tommy
Armour, game little Scotchman,
carrying the wounds of war.
Armour and Harry Cooper. Los
Angeles youth, ended the regula
tion .72 holes tied, with 301.
Cooper finished his last round
ahead of Armour. When the lit
tle Scot faced the last six holes he
seemed hopelessly beaten. Then
he fonnd his stride. Playing the
next fire holes under par he came
to the last hole to face the prob
lem of shooting a birdie three to
tie Cooper's score. He met It.
In the playoff that followed
Armour and Cooper came to the
thirteenth green with Tommy, the
Scot, two down. He cut that lead
one on the next hole and then tied

Cooper on the fifteenth with 4 putt
of 10 feet, j JThe II holes found
htm three strokes to the good. He
had gained one on each of the
last three.
' The other outstanding events
of the month were the defense by
Mickey Walker Of his middle
weight title In England and the
victory of Columbia's crew in the
Poughkeepsle ' regatta.
Mickey was the first champion
to risk his title in England since
Ritchie lost his lightweight title
to Freddy Welsh there In 1913.
Walker took Tommy MUligan, rec
ognised as the most promising
fighter in Europe, and European
middleweight champ. The invad
ing champ dropped Milltgan for
the full count in the tenth round.
The victory was well received by
British experts and raised Walk
er's stock In America.
The other ring event of note was
the defeat of Pete Latro, welter
weight king and the man who had
knocked Walker off the welter
weight perch. to, whose worth
as a champ had been questioned.
was defeated decisively by Joe
Dundee in a 15-round bout in New
York.
Jack Dempsey and Jack Sharkey
signed articles for their bout
which took place later In the sum
mer. Baseball fans had two trades to
fan over In addition to the run
away race in the American League
and the close fight in the National.
First the Cubs traded Jimmy
Cooney and Tony Kaufmann to

tics and '.inresDonsIblllty of tne
messenger boy who delivered the
telegrams. The trade stuck and
Carson proceeded to help lift the
Cubs within shouting distance of
the pennant for a time.
John McGraw traded pitchers
McQuillan and Greenfield and
shortstop Eddie Farrell to the
Braves for Benton, Catcher Taylor
and lnfielder Thomas. Farrell
proved to be the one bright spot
in the Brave machine. McGraw
drew thirteen crates of selected
raspberries.
Whiskery, Kentucky Derby win
ner, was forced to taste the dust
of Buddy Bauer's heels In the rich
Fairmount Derby and at East St.

Bill Tilden, whose play abroad
had been one of the sensations of
the season, continued to point
himself for the Cup matches, de
feating Henri Cochet in the semi
finals of the hard court tourney
at St. Cloud. Then he faced La
