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.

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.

I HE combination of brains and,
ability is hard to beat in
anv line of endeavor. 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.

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.

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.
