V . Tonight , the Salem high school
basketball team plays its last home
scheduled basketball game here
- against Eugene" high school.
' The game, tonight is one of .the
most important of the valley con
tests as far as Salem is concerned,
A win oyer Coach Frits Kramer's
purple and white stalwarts would
. help the Cherrians even up a cou-
- pie of old scores. The Astoria and
Medford tilts are highlights of the
season in the intersectlonal games
. but the Eugene fray holds-the bulk
of interest.
Coach Hollis Huntington's team
broke even with Medford and with
Astoria this season and is now de
termined to make a clean sweep
of Eugene for the season, as the
first game went to Salem by a 23-;
to-18 count.
Last year Salem won two games
frora Eugene high In basketball
and the game this Beason makes
three in straight running. ' The
Townies are going to try and stop
the winning streak enjoyed by the
red and black. ' :
Kramer Bringing
Tall Boys Again .
Salem high has played some
good ball most of this season bat
at times has made only mediocre
showings. However, the team has
set a fine record in the numerous
games played and now performs
more like a. veteran machine.
Coach Frits Kramer, whose
Pendleton high team won the
state basketball championship last
season. Is 1 reported to have an
other .crew of large men, though
perhaps not of quite the altitude
of his 1931 outfit Eugene high
gave Salem a tight game In the
opener; and; will 'doubtless do, the
" same again." . .
" Negotiations "were under way
Monday to have the B teams of
V the two schools meet in a prelim
inary game, which would begin at
7:15.

ccordlBK to Harry Plant tbU VoK feller is Henry Jonee, and don't
' blame us if It's some other young. lad. Henry snorted in protest the
last time the sports department estimated his age. Supposim he is
53, what difference does that make to the fans' so long as he can
keep tossing the boys around? Henry has been'makiag a hit hm
Portland, now that the little fellows have broken into the head
liner game up there. He meets Jim King here tonight.

Strawberry King to Oppose
Flying Head Scissors
Exponent Tonight
A new pairing of grapples will
be seen at the Salem armory to
night when Henry Jones, the
Strawberry King of Provo, Utah, i
meets Jim King of Wisconsin In a
scheduled two honr boot. ' -
i Both grapplers ' are middle-
weights and employ speedy styles
of attack. King Came to this sec
tion with the express purpose of I
aeieaung Robin Reed. Like many
another who had the same land
able Intention, King failed in that
purpose, but he has been setting
a fine record with other, oppon
ents In this section.
Tonight King will meet one of
the craftiest wrestlers who has
ever appeared in, Salem. Henry
Jones. Jones has; all the holds
which other grapplers employ and
al89 his -famous whip wristlock
combined with a shoulder butt.
No other mat man ever seen here
can apply that held as effectively
as Jones. "
With all of his skill. Jones will
have no easy time tonight as the
young grappler from Wisconsin
has all the fire of youth and suf
ficient experience that he will not
fall easy prey of strategy. He also
has a hold at which he excels and
that is the spectacular flying
head scissors.
The same mav be said of King
concerning the flying head sets'
sors as is said of .Henry Jones and
his whip wristlock. King has used
the flying head vise more success
fully than any 6ther wrestler who
has appeared here.
Harry Kuehne who has demon
strated both wrestling and clown- j
Ing ability here In his previous
bouts, will meet Bulldog Jackson
in the . preliminary, attraction.
Kuehne defeated Henry Jones at
rone time and has wrestled a two
hour draw with Wildcat McCann.
Bulldog Jackson Is in good con
dition now and believes that his
speed will win for him over
Kuehne.

The Willamette Bearcats . re
sumed practice Monday and will
take a brief workout today to
round into shape for the final
northwest conference tilt against
Linfield at McMinnville Wednes
day night to decide the second
place in the conference.
LJnfUM lost ta tha Bearcats 47
to 29 in the game played here, but
on the McMinnville floor wlu
doubtless give Willamette a
tighter game.
During the life of the present
northwest - conference, Linfield
has never defeated Willamette in
basketball and the season I would
be a success for the Wildcats If
they could accomplish that feat. It
was a surprised crew of Wildcats
which eyed the 47 to 29 score in
favor of the Bearcats following
the first game here. Linfield ,had
Presbyterian hoopers defeated
Fruitland 31 to 29 in one of the
best games of the church league
season, on the Y. M. C. A. floor.
First Baptist won from First
Mathnrilat 41 to 26.

Fifteen young men and 22 boys
are attending the boxing classes
being held twice each week at the
T. M. C. A. under the irection of
Clyle G re well, Willamette univer
sity student. At present emphasis
is being laid on stance, hitting and

game for Percy Carpenter and for
Don Faber. Carpenter played for
the Willamette freshmen in his
first year as did Faber. They were
two of the high scorers of Coach
Les Sparks undefeated freshmen
that season with Faber being out
In front in actual point gathering.
The-next year Carpenter was a
valuable alternate guard for Wil
lamette and played center part of
the time. He made his letter that
season along with Adams, Scales.
Cardinal, Hank and Gibson, the
smoothest basketball team Keene
has turned out at Willamette. In
his Junior year Carpenter played
regularly at guard and this season
is playing the best basketball of
his career.
Faber was one of the most
promising freshmen basketball
prospects in the class of 1932, but
In his sophomore year broke his
leg in football and lost an entire
basketball season as a result. Last
year as a Junior he started his
comeback, but it was not until
this, season that he hit his stride.
While he is handicapped with a
bad shoulder received In football
last fall, he has been playing good
ball for Willamette.
The Willamette freshmen will
play the. Linfield frosh in a pre
liminary game Wednesday night.
"Les" Sparks' team won from
Linfield in the first game which
was played here.

fYHE punch wins!
I '- And this is not only true of
sports but in most every other
walk of life. But our interest to
day has to do with sports and its
big thrill the punch!
It is the wallop, packed In "Iron
Mike, that enables-Jack Dempsey
to keep the crowds nervous with
expectation even when Jack is
boxing an exhibition. It is the
hope of seeing the famous Demp
sey left-hook crashing home that
brings the fans flocking to the
turn-stiles and laying their money
on the line. If s the punch that
made Ruth, baseball's Sultan of
Swat, the greatest figure in dia
mond history. Tflden's famous
eannonbaU service, drew the crowds
and made the public tennis con
scious. Helen Wills Moodv is in
vincible on the courts because of
her terrific forehand drive And
then there is Ernie Nevers, Stan
ford's illustrious fullback, whoso
Kwerfnj drive in hitting enemy
es caused "Pop" Warner to de
clare him the greatest gridman of
11 fitn. A n1 Tin' aiAnljt lrftAW.
He coached Jim Thorpe.
We could go on for pages nam
ing illustrious names of sportsdom,
past and present, and analysis
would shew that all of them
reached the peak in their respec
tive fields by virtue ox power-
punch.
The rare of the swashbuckling,
ripping Dempsey was responsible
for the three greatest sports spec
tacles in history. Back in 1921
in the battle with Georges Car
pentier, of France, Dempsey was
the magnet that packed Boyles
Thirty Acres in Jersey City. It
was the first of the million dollar
gates. And it was a pageant com
parable in glamour and color to
those pageants of ancient gladia
torial days.
Then came the memorable fight
with Gene Tunney in Philadelphia,
m 19Z0, when tne crowds sat
spellbound, oblivious to a pouring
rain, watching tne passing of a
great champion. There was prob
ably not 4ne Dempsey rooter m
that vast throng who did not be
lieve that their idol would get
home his famous punch before the
final beu. And it was that ex
pectation that kept them rooted to
their seats. And the following
year when the scene shifted to
Chicago, they followed the call of
tnejunch and their dollars built
up the greatest "gate" in sports
history. Tunney alone received
close to one million dollars for his
end.
There old "Iron Mike" did its
stuff and it will be many a
semester before tiu.t hectic seventh
round is forgotten. Ho, hum, if s
good to live again those sporting
high-spots, and as always, it was
the punch that supplied the thrills.

The sport fan of broad
tastes will have to do some

everything in town that's
worth seeing. There's the mat
show at the armory, Salem
high and Eugene playing bas
ketball on the high school
floor and- the wlndup of. the
independent hoop tournament
on the Y. floor. Incidentally
onr limited sport news staff
will have to hop around a bit
too, bnt we'll endeavor to have
the scores if not all of the de
tails. .
Some of our friends in other
parts of the state perhaps won't
believe It, but most everybody In
Salem we have , talked to, sin
cerely regretted Astoria high's
elimination from the district 14
race which means those colorful
Fishermen won't bo here unless
the state board reverses the de
cision of the district board.
The state board ruled that
all district champions should
be picked by tournaments this
' year, and If it should Insist on
that rule which permitted any
school desiring to enter, to do
so, Astoria might still come.
Insofar as the particular issue
I involved in the Clatsop county
race is concerned, Astoria doesn't
appear to have a leg to stand on.
No defense7 is made ' In' the As
toria paper except, that the rul
ing was made on a "technicaly
ity."
The claim of Westport and.
other protesting: schools Is that
Walter "Lefty" Palmberg was
ineligible., to play 'the first se
mester because ho want la
school soon enough. The As
- toHaa-Bndges says he entered
a month late In order to snake
somo money at a job be held
Aartocscatfosur ?jT
' That's s unfortunate, . but It
seems to us Astoria Is wholly to
blame. If Palmberg was Ineligi
ble, tha team probably could have
won without him. Why tha school
authorities permitted their - rec-
i ord to bo clouded In this manner
isn't clear at this distance. Palm
berg is eligible now, but the dis
trict board forfeited two games
in which he played while Ineligi
ble and that puts Astoria out of
the . running as it leaves West
port undefeated with only one
game remaining to be played.
Quite a surprise to the Ftor- "
sheims and their backers, that
defeat by Gladstone Saturday
night. We believe the Flor
sheims could have won on a
larger floor, but we don't
mean it as an alibi. The best
team won, under the condi
tions. The Washington Huskies won
the- northern division champion
ship but they owe the Oregon
Webfeet a vote of thanks for
making it possible.

GLADSTONE. DALLAS
IN TOURNEY FINALS
The windup of the district in-
! dependent basketball tournament
is slated for tonight on the Y. M.
C. A. floor, with Dallas and Glad
stone clashing for the honor, of
representing Polk, Marion and
Clackamas counties. In the state
amateur tourney at Portland Sat
urday and Sunday.
There appears to be little to
choose between the two fast-step
ping teams which will meet for
district honors tonight. Dallas
defeated Stayton 39 to SI and
Gladstone outran the Florsheims
to prevail 40 to 28. in the first
round games. Tonight's game will
start at 8:15 with Bill Lemmoa
as referee.
It is the belief of many fans
who saw those games that the
Florsheims could have won If the
game had been played on a bigger
floor and perhaps, could turn the
trick If they met, even on the
same floor, another time. The lo
cal boys were badly "off in their
shooting a good share of Saturday
night's contest.
