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.

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.

NEW YORK. Jan. g.(AP)-
On the spot where the ring Is
placed when boxing contests are
held at Madison Square Garden,
the body of Tex Rickard rested
tonight, awaiting funeral services
tomorrow afternoon and burial.
Before the final words are said
in praise of the genius of the
sports promoter who built the
great arena where his body lies.
thousands of men and women
from every walk of life will pay
tneir silent tribute. Tomorrow
other thousands will be admitted
until 1:30 o'clock, half an hour
before the funeral service Is read.
For three hours tonirht the
doors of the Garden were swung
open to admit tbe public to pass
the massive bronze casket holdlnc
the" body of Tex.
"Boat People On Hand
In his rise to the front rank of
promoters, Rickard was continu
ally striving to bring the "best
people" to the ringside for his
shows and if not to replace the
fight fans of other days, whose
uniform was a cap and a sweater.
at least to push them farther back
In the picture.
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. Boxing was the
promoter's first and fondest love,
but hockey was second in his af
fections. At the funeral tomorrow boxers
and hockey players and officials
will join with enthusiasts for both
ports la saying a final "Well
done."
At 1:10 o'clock tomorrow after
noon the many doors of Madison
Square Garden will be closed and
only holders of cards will be ad
mitted after that hoar. Card
holders will Include friends of the
family, men prominent in sport,
especially boxing and hockey, and
officials of the Madison Square
Garden corporation, of which Tex
Rickard was president aad gen
eral manager.
Rev. Mor to Officiate
- The services In tbe Garden will
be conducted by the Rev. George
Caleb Moor, pastor ef the Madison
Avenue Baptist church and It was
expected that a .eulogy would be
pronounced by Mayor James J.
Walker. The mayor as a state
senator was the father of the
Walker law restoring boxing to
favor in New York state. He was
long a friend of Tex, and occupied
a ringside seat at nearly every big
fight in the Garden.
