The OREGON STATESMAN. Salem. Oregon, Tuesday Morning, February 23, 1932 Bearcats Will Head for Whitman With Unspotted Recor i d ,r. I DEFEAT PACIFIC COR E Rough Game is Hard Fought In First Half, Badger Defense Weakens California 's Golfing Ace By HARDIN BURNLEY- J CAUEHTES A spectacular half drive by the Willamette university -Bearcats ent the Pacific Badger hoopsters home on the short end of the score and put Willamette one game up on Whitman In the northwest conference champion ship race, winning 53 to 24 at the Willamette jrymnasiuni Monday night. Jim Burdette was the high scor er of the reserves with 10 points which he picked off at close range demonstrating the best twist shots seen here this season. Marshall Hartley was scarcely less brilliant for during Vie few minutes he was la the game he scored three goals. Jack Connors deserves mention for his work last night as he play ed practically the entire time in the preliminary game for the freshmen and then played in the main game. Plavinz is Ragged The basketball shown during the first half was both the poor est brand and the hardest fought played on the local floor this sea son. During most of that time there was one lunge after another for the ball and in spite of "Ref eree Stritmater's close checking of fouls, much personal contact resulted. The lead changed hands half a dozen times during the first half with Pacific getting both the first foul conversion of the game and the first field goal. Killits scored the first goal of the game on a long pass play which looked dan gerous for about five minutes dur ing the contest and which then turned out to be one of the most regular passes Pacific made to Willamette. Pacific once led 11 to 8 in the first half, but trailed 19 to 14 when the first 20 minutes were gone. At the outset of the second half Burdette, Allen and Kloostra each scored field goals hurriedly and soon the Willamette score reached 28 with Pacific's still where it had been at half time. All 11 of the Willamette play ers In suit were used in the game, there being two men for every position and three centers. Paci fic also had a number of substi tutes In the closing minutes, but they were unable to halt the imooth attack made by the Bear ;at bench deserters. Roy Benjamin was high scorer of the game with 14 points while Douglas scored nine for Pacific.

TteiP THIS SP&HG. 1 KILL MILITARY 1 One of Leading Quintets of Multnomah County to Play Salem High Salem high's basketball team which has been setting up some fine scoring records this season, win meet ths speedy Hill Military academy team tonight at the high school. A speedy offense Is employed by the cadets, assuring an Inter esting came. Hill's Is now In sec ond place In the Multnomah coun ty league and has high hopes of winning the county championship. During the last three seasons at Hill Military academy Coach Wahrs teams hare won 43 hoop contests and dropped only nine. At present Coach Hollis Hunt lngton Is most Interested In whip ping his team Into tournament condition. Substitutes are being used considerably. In the games piayea now, to build reserve strength for the tough tourna ment grind. The long string of victories which the Cberrians hare built this season have brought some de served pride to the team and now It hates the though of dropping any more contests. Tonight's game may turn into a close affair, but Salem high would scarce get over taking a defeat from Hill's to night. Friday and Saturday the Cher rians play Astoria high in the Fishermen's town and since the two game series with Astoria high here was split, unusual interest will be attached to those contests. Baer Winner Over Heeney In Fast Bout SEALS STADIUM, San Fran cisco. Feb. 22. (AP) Finishing with a great lOth-round rally. Max Baer, the former Livermore butcher boy," pounded out a 10- round decision over old Tom Heeney, of New Zealand, here today. It was a rousing battle from start to finish, with the veteran Heeney putting up unexpected op position to force his younger op ponent to the utmost. Unimpressive in the training and en the short end of I to 1 odds, as they went Into the ring, Heeney bored In steadily, and in the early stages had all the better of the battling. He battered Baer steadily at close range with Jolt ing uppercuts and .made good use of a lSH-POund weight advan tage. Baer found the range after the third and banged his stocky opponent around the ring . with lusty rights to the Jaw. In the fifth round the Callfor nlan clipped his opponent with i right to the Jaw Just before the end of the session, and Heeney was groggy as he walked to his corner. It was the second meeting of the pair, Baer winning in three rounds last year in New York when Heeney landed outside the ropes and failed to get back on his feet before the count. EUGENE y.

But particularly is this true in that ancient and honorable pastime golf. Husky Fred Morrison, thirty-one-year-old professional of the Fox Hills Country Club. Los An- eeles. is a firm believer in the above and he certainly used his head in crashing through to vic tory in that biggest of money golf tourneys, the Aeua Caliente Open. It was his first big win, and to draw down first prize of $5,000 Fred had to shoot the treacherous :ourse in sub-par golf. He finished the four rounds with a total of 284, four strokes under par, and die prize money brought his total to $5,441.66 for the Winter tour, topping Gene Sarazen, second big money winner, by more than 52,000. Going into the final round, Mor rison was paired with Sarazen and Olin Dutra. Sarazen, veteran campaigner and probably the greatest money player in golfing history, was trailing Fred by three strokes. They played on even terms for sixteen holes, and then came the psychological moment when a misplay or poor judgment might have cost Morrison victory He had pushed his second shot far to the left of the green, leaving him an extremely difficult shot to get home. Sarazen was close to the pin with his thira and had a lair chance to bag a birdie. Fred 1 was in a tough spot. His ball had to carry a treacherous trap which had proved the undoing of more than one contestant. If he failed to carry the trap a seven might be his portion, and Fred saw visions of his three-stroke margin Deing'Wiped out. It was here that Fred used his head. He elected to play safe. He sacrificed a stroke to play to the center of the fairway, and . then pitched to the green to hole out in six to Sarazen's five. It was a smart decision and won the tour nament for him. Morrison's victory gave him the chance to compete in the Brit ish open championship this Spring, and right now Genial Fred is com pleting plans for the long jaunt overseas. rijprrlrtt. 1S31.

OJLW COMMENTS .CURTIS, d8 steady work, even though with a loop of low classification, should further Ids cause, and his college activities won't hart any, although varsity fame Is no guarantee of success in big league ball, as any number of campus heroes have lound out." STRIKES and SPARES Willamette university freshman hoopsters put on their best home demonstration of the season at the Willamette gymnasium Monday night, winning from the Chemawa Indians, 37 to 28. Much smoother ball was played than In any previous game and the shooting, passing, dribbling and guarding of the babes was of a classier brand than any display ed previously this season. The game was speedy, with the Dan traveling rapidly from one end of the floor to the other most of the game. The Reafkittens led, 18 to 14, at half time. With the resumption of play they boosted their score rapidly until "Les" Sparks started his usual substitutions. Ed Frantz was high scorer for the collepians with 12 points, whieh were matched by a clever, kinky-haired Indian named Robb, who had most of the crowd pull ing for him.

Eastern Oregon j Normal Quintet Playing Tonight MONMOUTH, Feb. 22 The Oregon Normal school's hoopsters will entertain the Eastern Oregon normal quint on the home court Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The Monmouth boys defeated the E. O. N. two games at LaGrande earlier In the month, but the lo cals are expecting hard tilts, as Monmouth will be without the services of Roily Watkins, their veteran stellar guard, who is very 111 from pneumonia. Coach Larry Wolfe was consid erably disgruntled over his team protege's showing with Albany college at Albany Friday night, so In all probability a re-vamped lineup will take the floor Tuesday night.

Coulter sent along some clip ping which Indicated that sport pages in the national' capi tal gave Staple considerable mention, especially after find ing out that he was the great Oregon State quarterback.

All President Griffith of the Washington club could tell the sport writers was that Maple was connected with -Willamette uni versity and was "about 21 years old" and had only a year's pro- Tesslonal experience, two items out of the three being decidedly wrong.
