The largest crowd that has erer turned out for any Indoor athletic erent In. Monmouth witnessed the four games here today. In the first afternoon game, 1 Dallas defeated Falls City high SO to 17.

UP i ; ,,One face familiar to Salem fans wtftlch may be seen atop a Port land Beaver uniform when Bill Rodgers' boys come north this year -is that of Pete Hepting, col orful little third baseman for the Bend Eagles last-season. Hepting Is, breaking into the preliminary games, according to reports from Santa Ana. He was one of the lead. ing hitters and the fastest third baseman In the Willamette valley league last year. '"Salem's own Johnny Beck is there too. but about -pitchers it is difficult to say much so early in the training season. Beck is prob ably due for "farming out". this year, but he might, like Larry French two years ago, upset pre dictions and stick with the Coast league team. Fans here are cer tain that Beck has as much stuff Es French did his first season. DALLAS, March 1. (Special) Harold L. Cook of Salem, bound over to the grand jury several days ago on a statutory charge, is still held in -the county jail there, having tailed to furnish the 3000 bail required.

If Fox 1 sready for faster com petition. Plant is justified in look ing to Seattle for some tough boys to furnish it; but Fox lost the de cision Wednesday night, and until that matter is cleared up, such a step is hardly justified. After all, Fox has made huge strides this season, and the fans aren't going to expect too much of him. If he can't get past Benny Pelz, they will be willing to see what he can do to Sailor. Willie Gordon and Kewpie Riley. ' One thing that Fox and his manager will have to get over is that "big champion" idea which apparently was responsible for the delay In starting the main event Wedensday. Fox took his time about getting into the ring, pre sumably with the idea developed by Jack Kearns and his ilk that it pays to wait- and make the other fellow nervous. Salem fight fans are used to seeing the lights follow one an - other promptly and delay isn't go ing to prove popular even if it is classed as "big time" strategy.

(Special) At a meeting of the graduate manag ers and basketball coaches of the Pacific coast at Seattle Saturday. Billy Relnhart. coach at Oregon, will make an effort to curb the activities of the officials, who he claims have "spoiled the game by over officiating." Basketball, one of the fastest of all games at one. time, has been slowed considerably by the heavy penalties meted out to players on , the pretext of "charging," Relnhart believes. , "The officials have construed the dribble rule so closely." Reln hart said, "that the teams may. as well abolish that phase of basket ball and play simply- a passing game. No sooner a player starts down floor within scoring distance than his progress is checked by an overzealous official because he is charging.' , 1 "In the season just past games have been stopped en many occa sions to Inform the scorekeepers on whom fouls were called. These Infractions were so slight that ap- narentlv they were not hoticeable to the spectators or scoreaeepere That Is the reason there j has been so much "booing" on all floors this season. The spectators see a penalty inflictedjamd arej at a loss to know what its cause is, so the booing' is a consequential result.
