Like Baseball, and Shoot

; A strapping big crew of lads
who handled a basketball a s
though It were a base-ball, repre
entlne the Oregon State college
"rook" class, descended upon the
lair of the Salem high quintet
Wednesday night and mopped up
to the tune of 31 to 12.
These boys fired the ball at
each other In dazzling fashion and
handled it at top speed; and when
thsy got anywhere In scoring dis
tance they looped it througn tne
basket with almost unbelievable
accuracy.
, When the Salem team got pos
session of the ball, these same
orange shirted men checked so
'closely and bo fiercely that the
lighter local boys were unable to
i break In close to the basnet, ana
for once their offense, which ap-
pears lightning fast against other
high school teams, looked posl-
t tlvely: slow. , i
A lack of deceptlTeness, not no
tlcceble In Salem high's other
. games, here, showed up In the
' nlavera' unsuccessful efforts to
' maneuver for shooting clearance
But they fought hard, and their
effective defense was demonstra
ted when they held the fast colleg-
tans to so low a score.
Late Rally Stag!
The" Salem team showed to the
best ' advantage shortly after th'
second half opened, when it gain
ed back part of the 12 to 5 lead
which the Rooks held at half time.
: Bnt after this sDurt. the Rooks
"rot hot" on cripple shots and
ran their score up to a safe lead
This was Salem high's last game
on the home floor, except for pos
lle challenges. Coach Louis An
Person's boys will go to Eugene

TROUBLE LOOMS
OVER OED ME
Salem High School Demand
Hearing on Action of Mc
Minnville to Collect $30
Salem high school has demand
ed a hearing before the board of
control of the state high school
athletic association as a result of
notice from Roy A. 6annon. sec
retary of the association, that tht
local school shall send its first
team to McMinnville for a game
with that high school or forfeit
$30 for a breach of contract.
Principal J. C. Nelson, following
a conference with Coach Louie
Anderson, informed Cannon b y
letter Wednesday that Salem, felt
a hearing was In order.
History of Case
The present action grew out of
a game with McMinnville at that
city February 8, when Salem's
second team represented this
school. The Monday following the
game. Principal William J. Max
well and Coach G. L. Allison of
McMlnnvlllie paid Nelson a call
to protest the local's action in
sending the second team. Mr. Nel
son immediately told them he
agreed Salem had been at fault
In not notifying McMinnville that
the Salem second team was being
sent over and offered to arrange
another game-, at McMinnvllle's
convenience between the first
teams of each school.
The offer for another game and
attempts to explain the situation
to the McMinnville student body
were ignored when Barney Cam
eron, Salem student body pres
ident, and Joe Cameron, athletic
manager, appear in McMinnville
for that purpose the day following
the visit to this city.
Nelon SUtee Position
So the matter rested until Can
non wrote Principal Nelson for Sa
lem's version of the affair, to
which Nelson replied, stating ir.
part that failure to inform the
Yamhill school that it was sending
the second team was a grevious
error on the partf Salem, and
that Salem had made a proposi
tion for another game, Mr. Nelson
pointed out, however, that since
McMinnville was expecting the
first team up to the evening of
the game there had been no fi
nancial loss and that Salem had
easily, defeated McMinnville in a
previous game.
The contract only stipulates
twt games "between the teams ol
these schools," Mr. Nelson point?
out, and inasmuch as Salem made
overtures for a third game, offi
cials here believe the McMinnville
case Is akin to some of the pretty
breach of promise cases that find
their way to the front pages; with
the school suffering not so much
from a broken heart as a desire to
collect on the $30 forfeiture.
In his letter demanding a hear
ing. Nelson says: "We have offer
ed them -an opportunity to make
more money with another game,
but they have refused to consider
It. and I shall not repeat the offer
as long as you try to attach a pen
alty to it." The principal holds
that Cannon has violated article
four, section five of the athletic
association constitution providing
that the board shall give the ac
cused school due notice of the
time and place of the hearing and
an opportunity to be heard' in its
own defense before it shall have
been Judged guilty of breaking a
contract.
Cannon has no right to impose
such action as he has taken with
out a hearing. Nelson believes, and
s ready for a show-down.

New Rule on Fumble Will
Aid Grid Game, Coaches
Opine; Heroes Dethroned
The new rule on fumbling In
football, whereby a Idefensive play
er in prevented from running with
the ball after recovering, a fumble,
will permit the offense to take
more chances in handling the ball
than before, and that will have a
tendency to open up" the game
even more than at present and
make It more spectacular.
Such Is the verdict of both
Coach "Spec' Keene of Willam
ette and Coach Louis Anderson of
Salem high. ,
"It will result in more trick
and open plays," said Anderson,
and since that type of play is the
one that he has used consistently
here, he believes it will be a fa
vorable change for his teams.
While agreeing that In general
the new rule will open up the
game and make it more spectac
ular. Coach Keene pointed out
that by eliminating the run for
touchdown after a defensive play,

for uncertainty and thrills will be

"If this rule had been In effect
15 years ago. Brazier Small never
would have been a hero," Coach
Keene pointed out, referring to
the time when the present Justice
of the pe-ace, playing halfback for
WlHamtte. scooped up a loose bail
and galloped for a touchdown that
presented the. local school wun a
!torv over the University of
Oregon.
"Go back into football history
and apply this rule to all the
games that have been played, and
a lot of games would be awarded
to the teams that lost them, and
a lot of championships would be
upset," Keene said'
"But after all those thrilling
runs nave been few, while the
new rule will give the offensive
team more confidence on every
play, knowing that a fumble will
not be so costly, and the total
effect will be a gain rather than
a loss from the spectators' stand
point.
