THE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM, OREGON. TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 24, 1928 IHPfflEK 111 PIAYS SHS TIG IT Ualess Red and Black basket baUers hare a decided clomp, they should root Independence high school team tonight without un due exertion. The game will be played on the Independence floor, ; Independence dropped a game last Friday to Dallas high school and failed to demonstrate much lower. Coach Louie Anderson, how ever, will take no chances and will! atart his best line-up. It probab ly will Include Lyons at center, Ecker and Bob Kelly at guard, and Siegaiund at forward. Shafer or Charles Kelly will start in the other forward berth.. Wednesday evening In Salem, I the team will meet the Oregon State college rooks. Association eligibility rules need not apply in this clash, and Coach Anderson f may try out a new line-up with ': Beechler at center, and Duffy, all state forward, playing teammate with Lyons, Siegmund, or Shafer. When the new combination be comes experienced it is expected thai the team's strength will be increased at least ten per cent in scoring power. Duffy fs probably the best natural basket shot in Oregon high schools. So adept is hethat he seldom falls to collect "1 potato or more against any op ptxition. The game against the rooks here was to have been played late in February, but a conflict in dates with West Linn high school made it necessary to shift it to this week. Salem will travel to Corvallis for a return game next Saturday.

AGGIES PUT AWAY mm U1ET BIG FELLOWS IN RING SCARCE PROFITS LURE HEAVYWEIGHTS MANAGING CHAMPS LUCRATIVE By Victor D. Carlson ! Where are the big boys? Never in the history of the ring has there been such a scarcity of top notch heavyweight fighters. The enterprising manager who can go Into the sticks, or any where else, and find a behemoth who can punch, take punches, or learn to do both, is assured of a meal ticket. Salem hasn't had a real heavyweight puncher since the day of. Bin Hunt, the local fireman. That was four years ago. There was, of course, Tfcy Hayes of Independence, but Tiny was never a crowd pleaser and as a boxer was little more than a dub Hunt's last fight in Salem was against Danny Garth. The knock downs were so frequent that spec tators were in a frenzy. Hunt was in line then as a main-eventer, but he got married, and retired from the racket. Hunt was slow but he had a mule-kick punch. When he connected, his opponent went down, and usually stayed down. The seeming famine of heavy weights has encouraged match makers to scout for material. For 'the fans like the big boys. Joe Levy, the Portland matchmaker, wants to put on some heavyweight matches, and if Salem could pro duce a big puncher of ability, that puncher would see plenty of action. ette and Oregon Agricultural col lege in 1903 was abruptly ter minated as a result of "boos." The game was closely contested. With a minute and a half to play. the score stood 11 to 10 for the Corvallis players. Parsons, of Willamette, was given a toss for goal on a foul. The Corvallis spectators set up a din which ap parently disconcerted Parsons for he missed the throw. Parsons claimed another throw on the ground that shouts of spectators had unnerved him. This, Referee Dickey refused to grant. Captain Pollard, of Willamette, called his men off the floor. The referee however, said "play ball" and Cor vallls threw another basket, mak ing the final score 13 to 10 for Corvallis.

Contin uing their bid for first honors in the northern division of the Paci fic coast conference basketball race, the Oregon State Aggies de feated Washington State college 32 to 14 here tonight. They were never In danger after they piled up a lead In the first period. Wash ington State made but four points in the first half, while the Oregon State made 14. Captalr Bill Burr of the Aggies came into his own tonight and be sides scoring 15 points for high honors, led his team in a remark able display, of technique, The Washington State offensive failed to measure up to advance notices.

The men who handle business details for the fighters usually get v half the money, and the winnings aren't small. In the old days, a fighter like John L. Sullivan would, collect his few, hard-earned simoleons. go to the nearest saloon, plant one foot on the rail, and order drinks for the house. Not so now. The days of boxing as a bar-room sport are gone. Today, it's big business. Ace Hudkins drove into Los An geles from his home In Lincoln, Nebraska, in a rattle trap flivver. to start his career. Now he drives a new Lincoln and owns a home in California that rivals a palace. He has a bank account saidtc approximate $80,000. Bud Tay lor, "Terre Haute killer," whom Chuck Hellman boxed to a draw. and who rates as bantam champ of the world, has $100,000. Fidel La Barba saved up $50,000 before he decided to take on culture at Stanford university. The heavy weight champ is a banker. The matchmakers in the big cities are not poor house candidates either. But the fight game is something like the "movie" game. For every "star" there are a hundred "ex tras." The preliminary boys get little or nothing for their per formances. They keep on. hoping to develop for the "big chance," which seldom comes. Even the maln-erenters In the smaller citie must fight three times a month to make wages. So all in the fight game Is not "rosy." In a tense basketball game, fiercely contested, yell kings in both college -and high school find it difficult to restore quiet when a fouled n layer maaes bis tree throw. , The referee has the right, under the rules, to award another free throw to the nlaver. if he Is dis concerted by the crowd In the act of shooting after the crowd has been warned to silence. . Referees in the early . days of basketball gave scant sympathy to a nlaver missing ". his throw be cause of axcitement at the crowOsjf "The canny Mac Smith, witb nerves like a clam, proved again that he is one of the soundest golf ers in America when he romped home three strokes ahead of 'Llghthorse' Harry Cooper to win the 1928 Los Angeles, $10,000 open," writes John Cassidy from the southern clime. "It was a great exhibition of golf on the part of Mac, repeating his win of the Palos Verdes tournament of a few days before Playing tight golf for the 72 holes Mas was never headed, even when Harry Cooper tossed away chances at birdies on the last nine. Smith's total score for the 72 holes was 284. First prise carried with it $3500." Abe Espinosa, of Chicago, wac third. Tommy Armour, national open champion, "Wild Horse" Mehlhorn, and Al Watrous of Grand Rapids, Mich., tied for fourth. Bobby Cruickshank was a poor ninth.

Griffith said; "I told him to go out anfc look for a i(b and that I would heltf him. If he finds himself without a job on February 1, it lsn'tmy fault.
