HAS LEAD Stamina and Coach Rein hart's Strategy Save Ore gon From Defeat Doubts whleh may have been en tertained la Salem or elsewhere thai Willamette university has the best basketball team turned out at the local Methodist school In many years, were dispelled Tues day nicht when the Bearcats' lost to the Unircrslty of Oregon Web- foots; billed this year i as the probable northern division- Coast conference "champions, b y only four points. 34 to 30, after the Willamette team had held tbe lead for more than half the game. A little more stamina on the part of the stocky Oregon players, possibly a little ' stage fright" with Tlctory over to formidable team almost In sight, at any rate a fail ure to hit the basket when scores would hare aneant victory, but most of all a little strategy on the part of "BUI" Reinhart, alert Ore gon mentor, prevented Willamette from scoring that unprecedented victory over the Webfoots It was by far the most bitterly fought basketball game seen in Sa 1cm in many years, with the Web- roots striving desperately to over come the Bearcats lead all through the second half until they finally succeeded. Head-on colli sions were frequent, and even the rereree emerged with a broksn tooth. , The Oregon team started piling up points at the opening of the game as It had done Saturday night at Eugtae, but with the dif ference that the Bearcats, inspired by the presence of their rabid fol lowing, kept , right behind them. with Houk doing most of the early coring. Scales Gets "On" Then when the first half was nearly over, George Scales, whom the Willamette rooters hare been confidently expecting to get "on" most -any night, suddenly broke loose with a series of three beau tiful long shots, and Wlllamett? was leading 18 to 13 at half time. ! All this time big Ed Cardinal. Bearcat center, had been getting the tlpoff, but wasn't abl to score because a husky lad named Ed wards was checking him every In stant. . ! At the opening of the second half Scales continued his scoring Dree, but when Willamette was ahead 34 to 13. Bill Rahart played his 'ace in the hole; with Cardinal pretty well worn down. Reinhart sent in Eberhart. a cen ter who could outjnmp the -Willi .aette star and who was also able to help out In the scoring. Milligan 8avee Day Epps flnslly put the visiters in the scoring column again with a free throw, and Ridings scored a field goal. Up to this time the Oregon team seemed "all at sea. first one player and then another making a mad dribble down the floor, only to be checked or shoot wl'd; but now they settled down to business. Milllgan. who had . ..orinr steadily throughout the game, put his team back IneJ running with three neia go" ' succession. To offset this partly. Cardinal dribbled the length of the floor to sink a short one. -Ridings shot a long one to tie .Mr at 28 all. and then Gib son. Willamette substitute, follow ed suit to put the Bearcats ahead again. Cardinal Injured his ankle and was out oi ine ammo -n.inut. In that interval Mllligat dropped the ball through the bas ket for the winning points.

In death the "best people" in their high hats came with the boys nervously twitching their caps in their hands to pay tribute to man who succeeded in makinf boxing respectable. Boxing champions and title- holders of other days were In the throng, several white haired mer who held belts before Rickard ever saw a gloved hand lead or counter, coming to pay respectfu! tribute to a man whose like was not seen in their day. Hockey Stars Present Hockey too was represented, for not only does the body rest near the ring posts for a boxing bout, but on a surface that also re sounded to the clang of skates on speeding feet.
