Hollingshead Benjamin. ... .F Cook Kloostra C Darby Kaiser G Eckman Allen . . ..G Stewart Inspired by a realization that they have the best prospects In athletic history of climbing to the top of the Northwest conference heap, and furthermore with a "now or never" attitude toward this particular game, the fighting Wildcats of Linfield will engage the Willamette- Bearcat hoopers tonight In the Willamette gymna sium. V Five Linfield veterans of past lean seasons, by now welded into a combination which is "clicking" regularly, will take the floor against a comparatively green Willamette team which in spite of Its lack of experience and recent losses through scholastic failure and Illness, seems to be Llnfield's strongest rival for conference honors, with the possible excep tion of Whitman. Championship Hopes Depend on Outcome However that may be, Linfield la definitely in the championship race and Willamette is the imme diate obstacle, and Henry Lever's boys will exert every ounce of en ergy toward the task of tossing that obstacle aside tonight. The Bearcats will present against thi3 championship threat the same combination that suc cessfully opposed Pacific in the first important conference game last week. Carpenter i3 still a vic tim of "flu" and Kaiser will again fill the guard berth along with Allen. Absence of Carpenter will scarcely prove a loss if Kaiser performs as ho did in the Pacific game when he scored 12 points in addition to holding up his end of the defensive assignment. Faber, newly promoted to regu lar forward duties. Is also causing the rooters to forget some of the absentees, as he is a steady player especially good on fast breaking plays, and works well with his team mates.

The game was tied 12 to 12 at half time and was close all the way through.

IncifcrvaTnritain riftfi rclOrfOit Jim King, Tersatlle grappler from Green Bay, Wisconsin, took the odd fall from Percy Jackson of LoulsTllle, Kentucky at the ar mory Tuesday night. Much of Jackson s fire was lost when the two collided early In the match and Jackson lost a tooth and had two others loosened. The first fall went to King In 19:50 with a Hying head scissors. Jackson took the middle fall in 10:10 with a wristlock toe hold. baring such strong wrists that King was forced to pat the mat. It was this same hold which took a fall from Robin Reed at Albany recently. King wore Jackson down with a series oi sonnenoergs in me final chapter and finished the bout with a body slam. Time, 10:50. There was a hint of springtime in the bout, with its accompanying listless motion, hut a great deal of straight wrestling was shown. In the preliminary bout Harry Kuehne went almost batty on stage stuff and tried to wrestle on thetoutslde of the ring on sev eral occasions and after the bout was finished, sailed out oyer the ropes and landed on Gardinier's back. Gardinier took the first fall with a series of headlocks and Kuehne took the second one with la series of whip wrlstlocks. Matt Matheny of Albany was referee. ( IT Mf f v rii There was action aplenty in the first Olympic hockey match between the United States ana Qana&uia&ms on the opening day of the inter national contests at LaS:"Tlacid, N. Y.

Canadians won. 2-1. after claying an extra period. 1 F WINS OVER 1 T HAT long-looked-f or return bout between Jack Sharkey and Max Schmeling, present holder of the World's title, is set at last. It was, inevitable for ever since that June night in 1930 when Sharkey fouled him Into the championship, Schmeling knew that he must some day try to erase from the minds of fight fans the world over the thought that he "was lucky." The closing of the match, which is tentatively set for June 16th, and which will be staged for the benefit of the Free Milk Fund, seems to have given the Garrulous Gob a new lease on life. Boston Jack has been more or less quietly passing his time between bouts at his home. There were no verbal blasts emanating from the Shar key retreat as per the gdod old days when Jack earned the sou briquet of "Garrulous Jack." But now things are humming again. "I'm sitting on top of the world." shouted Jack after the final signing of the papers. "I have enased bchmehng for two years. I'll knock him out inside of ten rounds. I won't rive him the chance to yell 'fool' this time, for I'll K. O. him with a ranch on the jaw." bounds like the Jack of Old, doesn't it? But then we can ex pect lots more of the same before June 16th rolls around and to it will be added the p re-battle blurbs of Joe Jacobs, director of the German's affairs. The fans are in for plenty of gas. Signing for this match with Sharkey was possibly the wisest thing that Schmeling could do? His claim to the title, while legiti mate enough, has always been a bone of contention. The Ger man has never been taken seri ously by the vast majority of ooxing zan3. ine xact that he was awarded the title while groveling in the resin, the first incident of its kind in the history of the fight game, left many of the fans with the feeling that Sharkey was his master. In fact the four rounds of the fieht seemed to prove that. For Sharkey was far in front at the time of the weird ending. However. Schmel ing, or so his admirers claim, had taken all that Sharkey had to give ana was reaay to come on and win. Well, maybe. But now we can toss all speculation to the winds and sit back calmly to await the opening gong of this next meet ing. No matter how It turns out it will do one thing. And that is cianiy a rather cloudy heavy weight situation. Schmelinir's vie. tory over Stribling last year has won him many supporters. He has undoubtedly improved since that "big foul" night two years ago. Ana jus exaiDition tours seem to have given him the poise and confidence which he lacked in tnat xirst meeting with Sharkey. Well, let's go, and here's hop- ing were win oe plenty or iree milk for the babies of New York next bummer. CapjrUlU. 131. Kla rattan-, rndlnl. Ii PORTLAND, Ore..

CLUIRT COMMENTS CURTI5 Tlie l)oys, who know and fol low basketball are greatly puz zled over the report from Mos cow Monday night that a foul was called on (Irt-nir as he hliot for what would have been the winning field pal, "for holding the ball too long before shoot ing." There ain't no nee a animal. team in possession of the ball Is making no effort to score. Salem is fortunate in that few teams in this vicinity have been noticeably guilty of adopting this type of basketball. It hasn't spread among high school teams to any great extent. We can't shed any light except that another report refers to it as a "held ball foul." It's conceivable that a "held ball" was called be cause Grennier held the ball too long while closely guarded, but why a player on a team one point behind and the gunshot expected momentarily should fool around holding the ball is beyond us. If there was a foul, we should hare been told something about the free throw that followed. Probably the facta are that Grenier had jnst been involved In a brief tussle for possession of the ball and tore It loose to make a shot but the umpire tooted for the "held ball" and that's all. The sport writers or the press association correwpon- . dents at Moscow nerd some ed ucating. A lot of criticism is being fircid at basketball this year due to the devitalising effect of the "delayed offense" or "decoy" system and its frequent shading lato plain un adulterated stalling. Maybe the rules committee will come off Its high horse assumption that the defensive team is to blame tor stalling, and make some change that wll save the game ror the spectators. The worst thing about .the problem is that this denatured type of basketball, doggone it, la effective. But the rules com mittee may be able to do some thing about it; say by liberaliz ing the "personal contact" re strictions outside scoring terri tory, or perhaps only la case a The Willainetle-L 1 n f 1 o 1 d game tonight will eclipse any staged in Salem so far this sea son, with tvspect to Importance, for theme toam appear, in spite of College of Puget Sound's recently demonstrated strength, to be the real "big guns" wet of the mountains and the win ner of their private tuitfde will emerge as the lone threat agalnnt Whitman -barring re versal which may show up at any moment. Linfield andwlllamette both nosed out victories over Oregon Normal, and the only difference visible in their prospects of vic tory tonight appears to be that it means more to Linfield, which is seeking its first championship whereas Willamette has won the lion's share of conference basket ball titles. Benson Tech Five Toppled By Colonials PORTLAND. Feb. 9. (AP) Benson Polytechnic school, favor ed to win the Portland Interschol- astlc league basketball race, stum bled and fell over the Wash ington Colonials' quintet today.
