COMMENTS
ITIS
The Portland high schools
hsve decided after all that they
want to be represented la the
state Tasketball tournament.
They had scheduled the final
games of the interacholastlc
league series on the same dates,
bnt now have advanced the
program so as to avoid the
conflict.
So far we haven't heard of
University of Oregon applying for
any dates to play Willamette.
For some reason the Webfeet, or
if you prefer, the Pioneers, fail
ed to play the Bearcats a regu
lar game last season, though
there was a "secret" scrimmage
from which. It was more or less
widely rumored, Spec Keene's
men emerged with a healthy mar
gin of points.
We don't intend to get catty
about it, bnt It would seem
that if Willamette is good
enough to beat Oregon it is
good enough to get the chance.
Maybe it isn't good enough to
win, especially this year, bat
still the matter ought to be
settled. Of coarse there may be
some reason for this situation
that we know nothing about.

Parrish Junior high opens its
1931-32 basketball season tonight
against the new Junior high school
of Newberg to be played at Par
rish Junior high at 7:45.
A preliminary contest between
the Parrish Trojan team and a
church five, will start at 7:15.
For a number of years Parrish
unior high has enjoyed winning
teams, being winner of the county
championship for the' past two
seasons. However the prospect
is admittedly not so bright now as
the men Brown has fall into two
classes; either they are small.
and none too speedy, or they are
new at the game.
Though this is the first year
for the Newberg junior high
school, yet it will have a veteran
team: This paradox is explained
by the fact that most of its play
ers were on a grade school team
there last year and learned to
work well together. In fact they
won a game from the McMinnville
junior high last season.
Carter and Johnson, two of the
Parrish men, are on the sick list
and will probably not be able to
play. Another of the Parrish
men who showed promise at the
first of the season, had too much
outside work and no time for bas
ketball.
However Coach Brown will
have 10 willing men in suit for
tonight's game and they are by no
means going to be an easy mark.
Though they are inexperienced In
competitive play. Brown has given
tnem a good knowledge of funda
mentals and has developed some
team play.
Four of Starting
Combination Picked
The starting lineup for. Parrish
will Include Coons and Verne De
Jardin guards, Wirts center and
r i . .
aaisirom one or tne rorwards. The
other forward will be either
Steinke or Gwynn, or possibly
Carter if he recovers sufficiently
from his sickness.
Verne De Jardin Is the only one
of last year's squad who is play
ing. He was not a regular then,
but received some experience.
Coons, the other guard, is just a
hard working football player
whom Coach Brown is trying "to
revamp into a basketball man.
Salstrom and some of the others
received some experience with the
Trojan team last year, but are
small.

EVERY baseball season has its!
heroes and its goats and the
season of 1931 was no ex
ception. Heroes there were aplenty,
and goats, too, with Hack Wilson,
fiery Cob star, leading the pack
for the latter dubious distinction.
Baseball, like those other sports
which call for power, rhythm and
perfect co-ordination of mind and
muscle, is a funny game. A star
today, a dimmed bulb tomorrow.
There's probably one individual,
who, more than any ether, can look
back to 1931 and vote that year as
exceedingly good to him. And he
is Gabby Street, manager of the
St. Louis Cardinals, who won his
second National Learne sennant
and his first world championship.
A goodly portion for any big
league leader. And sharing the
hero spotlight with their manager
are three ether members ef the
Cardinals, Frisch, Grimes and the
inimitable "Pepper" Martin.
Frankle Frisch, captain and sec
ond - baseman of the champions,
was voted the most valuable player
to his team in the National League.
Tikis was the first snch voting done
under the jurisdiction of the Base
ball Writers' Association, which
adopted the system after the two
major leagues had abandoned it
Frisch, in the voting, was accorded
sixty-five points oat of a possible
eighty. And the award met with
general favor throughout the base
ball world, for Frisch had one of
his best years in the majors.
Another of the Cards rating hero
ranking Is the veteran, pitcher,
Burleigh Grimes. Looked upon as
having passed the peak. Grimes
helped toss the Cardinals to the
National League flag and then
same through with an exhibition In
the big series which ranked favor
ably with the pitching exploits ef
stars ef other years and earned for
him a niche in the .World Series
Ball of Fame,
And then there is the peppery
"Pepper Martin, whose sensa
tional base running and hitting in
the World Series thrilled the base
ball world. Martin resorted to the
methods that made baseball so
popular in the years gone by. He
ran wild on the bases and it is
possible his display of daring speed
and the results gained may have
some effect on the baseball strat
egy of the future. With the new,
slower ball in use, big league pilots
will not be slow to realize the ad
vantage of speed on the bases.
Enough of the heroes of one

them they share the honors as most

the American League, not having
missed a regular game since June
