BAGDAD, CaL. Mar. 9. (AP)
Averaging nearly seven miles an
boar under a burning sun and over
a roadway thickly coated with
dast, Arthur Newton, 44 year old
raarathoner entered from Rhodes
ia. passed over the finish line at
this small stopping point la the
Mojare desert to win the sixth lap
of the Los Angeles to New York
marathon.
The -distance today was 41.0
miles and the gaunt British cam
paigner chalked the stunning
time of 6 hours, 33 minutes and
3 seconds, made In weather of 94
degrees in the open. Already low
est in total elapsed time since the
foot racers left Los Angeles last
Sunday, he added substantially to
his lead today with a mark of 31
hours and two minutes for the
27.5 miles covered.
Newton, holder of the 100 mile
mining championship of England,
kept up throughout the grind to
day the same steady pace that
brought him victory in yesterday's
lap. Setting his face into the sun
at 7:29 o'clock this morning he
jogged tirelessly over the long
trail of dirt and gravel. Just 21
miles from Mojave Wells, the
starting point, he passed Ed Gard
ner, Seattle negro, long distance
star who had showed his heels to
154 other runners and walkers
uatil then,
A stop In Ludlow to change
shoes and receive attention was
costly one for the Seattle athlete,
for it was then that Newton passed
him. Gardner also checked in at
the control station here in good
condition. His time today was
hours, 15 minutes and 40 seconds.
making his elapsed figures 34
hours, one minute, and 36 seconds
Newton beat the Seattle negro into
Bagdad by more than three miles.
Paul Smith of Gates, Ore., fin
ished 12th today, with reference to
total elapsed time. His total time
to date Is 38:03:55.
Allen D. Currier, Grants Pass,
finished 55th in today's lap of the
marathon. His time for the lap
was 10:64:40. His total elapsed
time is 44:07:05.

Coach "Spec" Keene in the Wil
lamette university gymnasium
aowadays.
"By allowing no one but my
self to enter the gymnasium the
remainder of the week I see on
ly one way to get it cleaned for
the state tournament and that Is
to do it "myself" said Coach
Keene as he was scrubbing away
on the steps leading to the bal
cony of the gymnasium yesterday.
"Oh, I have a few others to
help me but they prefer doing
something else besides scrubbing
the floors, so I'm elected," he con
tinued. A newspaper reporter calls and
"Spec" leaves his job te, give him
material on the tournament, but
as it happens, he has mislaid some
of the material and there goes an
hour, looking for It. Everything
Is fixed again and "Spec" pro
ceeds with his Job, but finds that
in the meantime the water has
become cold and thusly must
warm it again. The water ia heat
ed and he Is ready to chase the
dirt once more.
The phone rings, and the lanky
coach Is called to his office again
Some big. hearted fellow calls up
and asks if he ia entitled to a free
pass to the tournament because
his second cousin plays on a cer
tain high school team. This new
business Is finished again, and
Keene proceeds with his Job but
finds that some one has borrow
ed the. cleanser and has failed to
return it. After this is recovered
and an is set to go once more we
come back to where the water is
cold again. That's the life of the
Willamette coach before the tour

A broad smile, fell upon his

The Jason Lee church basket
ball team won the church league
basketball championship title last
night when they defeated the
strong Bungalow hoopsters for the
second time this week 29 to 23 in
the YMCA gymnasium. The game
was hard fought from start to fin
ish, and no one was sure of the
winner until the final whistle.
F. Barquist, forward, of the los-
ars and R. Miller, forward, on the
winning team, tied for high point
honors with 12 markers each. H.
Bonney of the Jason Lee five was
iecond with 8 points.
The first half ended in a tie, 12
up, but in the second half the
Jason Lee lads were a little more
accurate in their shots and won
by a six point lead.
This was the fourth annual in
ter-church basketball series, the
Bungalow Christians being the
winners last year.
The award Is a beautiful silver
loving tup, with the name oj each
player on the championship team
engraved on it. The cup becomes
permanent property of the church
team.
More interest has been shown
in these games this season than
any other year. All through the
season record breaking crowds
have attended. Nearly 200 attend
ed the championship game last
night and Coach Bob Board man is I
well pleased with the interest the
people have shown this season.
