It so haooened that . Salem 1 hirh had "a five-man scoring ma chine on .the floor Friday night, with the guards as able as the forwards at looping the basket; and those two9 guards early de veloped a habit of slipping away i fron7M--AsJrIa forwards wno were supposeitoTguard them, to -da down the floor and score with no opposition whatsoever, .Several times ; when this hap pened, Astoria guards would be ; penning Salem"' forwards in the corners, turning their-backs on the lone guard dribbling toward the basket with nothfng in front of., him. Astoria Offense -Is Stopped Also i As a result San ford rolled up a total of if points and Foreman t they were j. even on field goals. . i' Eyen aside from the advantage which this state of affairs gave Salem, the local team was faster and its offense more effective by a wide margin. j Even with all five Salem men engaged largely In offensive play, Astoria was al most helpless in its efforts to break in close, and most of its points were made on long heaves as which Kanklch and Bergstrom proved adept.

Deaf Quints Of 2 States Due to Play Tonight the California School for the Deaf basketball team will meat the Oregon School for the Deaf team at the local school at 8 o'clock. -- The game tonight will decide which school will hold the laur els until next year, as each team now holds one "victory and one loss. Two years ago the Califor nia lads came here and lost. Last year the webfooters traveled to Berkeley but were unable to win there. Much interest Js aroused over this year's game, as It marks the third consecutive year of com petition between the schools. While; the boys are deaf, they make up for It by relying on their eyes in playing the game. .The local team has held Its own with hearing teams of the same age and is averaging .SO 0 per cent in win's "and losses. Five of the boys who made the trip to Berkeley last year are playing again this season. The team here Is consid erably stronger than last season's and" betier style of ball Is being played. The boys who will play art Coffin and Adams, forwards; Wood and Fest, centers, and Hu ltt. 'Adams, Rankin and Babcock, guards. J, ' The" California team Is expected to be stronger than last season's. Coach Blrck is with the golden state lads for the third year and has his team well trained. With a larger number to choose from, the California team will likely hare larger players than the Ore gon team. No other games will be played In town tonight, and a good crowd is in prospect for the game. Dwlght Adams has been se cured to referee the contest.

Monday night the Gervais team will be met on the local Junior high floor.

Hobbs and Perrine are both out and Ellis and Winter mute are still weakened from sickness- Nicholson is also hit under the weather and If he does play, will not he able to stay In long. ' Brown has decided to start Vera DeJardin j and Clark at guards, Vie DeJatdln at center, and Brownell at one forward po sition. In case the other players are well enough, he will play each one quarter at the other forward post. Brown is not hanking too much on annexing the game.

Monmouth is Winner Over Dallas, 20-19 DALLAS, Feb. 27 (Special) Monmouth high school feasketeerg squeezed In a 20 to 19 win over Dallas here tonight but the game ran to three overtime periods be fore they could break a 15 to 16 tie. The teams were so evenly matched it was nip and tuck with air-tight defensive work on both sides. In the first quarter Santee was sent Into the game to supplant Hockema at center while the latter shifted to forward position. This combination worked 'satis factorily and Monmouth led the first half 7 to 2. Dallas put forth a big effort in the second and ran up 13 points to match Monmouth's 8 and the fourth per iod ended in a tie at IS all. First and second overtime peri ods ended and still the game was undecided at 17 all. When the' third extra period opened, Santee scored one point for Monmouth on a free throw. Lewis of Dallas countered with a basket and the score was 19 to 18 for Dallas. Hockema, however; nosed in a basket for Monmouth and the game ended 20 to 19 tor the visitors. Accurate shooting of free throws won the game for Mon mouth. Dallas made but one point in that fashion, while the visitors tallied six. Webb of Dallas was high point man, with Hockema of Monmouth making eight. This game is said to mean little as far as the county tourna ment is concerned, except that the two teams may stage a hot battle there for chance to play In the state tournament.

Couple of little matters, cam up which seemed to re- quire mention In the old. faeh Atoned way. j . ; For instance Lee Weber, coach at Eugene high, wrote a letter to the Eugene Register-Guard In which he said . the following among other things: v "Our championship days are ov er for this year and, thank God, we can play basketball for the rest of the season for the love of the game and forget about winning. "The win and lose element has done more to harm ' amateur sports than any other thing. . . . Boys who deserve a chance to play have been sitting on the bench all year simply because vre wanted to win. But now they will get their chance because all p of the boys who are not eligible another year have withdrawn' from the squad to give these boys a chance to get experience.'" Mr. Weber In) the remainder of the letter compliments the senior beys for their sportsman ship In withdrawing said High Climber .very properly v does likewise. So da we,. And yet we don't know that Lee is right about the desire to win being an evil Influence. It has its evil corrolaries,' we admjt, some of which we have pointed out from time to time. The fact that a school has a "first; team" should not deprive the less pro ficient of a chance to play in sa lem high there Is the B team and lads who can't make that play intramural and donut and several other classes of basketball. We think the emphasis on the first team Is or ought to be an impe tus to all the lesser teams. Cer tainly, Salem high's perennial suc cess at basketball has encouraged the game here until mere boys are playing basketball than you can shake a stick at. I Another thing we take time ont to menilon this morning ie that Wildcat McCann Is not yet convinced Henry Jones is a bet ter man on the mat. An ac cidental kick laid the Wildcat 1 ont, be said, and gave Jones the opportunity to pin! him for the deciding faU. "I want another match with Jones and It I. lose it I'll leave town and never wrestle here again," the Wildcat , promises. Jnst why he thinks that promise is an Inducement we don't-know. The Wildcat patted himself on the back for wrestling "the cleanest match ot his career" . and we patted too, figuratively speaking. So did a lot of fans, though many, we sensed, were tickled to see the wild one take a few.

Instead of 8 2. When the office was closed last night, the number of licenses is sued was 200 behind February 27, 1930. which looks like " the county will make more on penal ties this year than last.
