Whitman's victory tied np the Northwest conference race once mora, and mad it necessary for Willamette to win all of its re maining four games if it is to at tain the nnoffical conference, title. Prom the .standpoint of the Sa lem crowd a record turnout for the season West's timely shot put an anti-climax on a great up hill fight waged by the Bearcats, la which Erven Kloostra, tall cen ter, played a leading role. It was a magnificent comeback, and the crowd's disappointment centered principally about the fact that this brilliant fight went for naught, rather than over loss of the game itself. With all five of the Missionary regulars potting long shots con sistently. Whitman led all the way except in the first minute and the last; 16 to 14 at half time, 27 to IS early in the second half, 31 to 22 Just before that rally began. Northrup and Kaiser also had a share in boosting Willamette's score np to within striking dis tance of the lead. As the last minute began tick ing away. Kloostra tore his way ont of a pile-up and pushed in me field goal that put the Bearcats ahead. Willamette got the next tlpoff but lost the ball on "travel ing," the Missionaries grabbed it and then West cast off with the long one that decided the contest. Just as in the first game, the teams were even in field goals cored. Both were rather erratic In scoring gift shots, but Whitman osed out one ahead. Willamette will play its last home conference game Tuesday night, meeting Linfield here. Summary: Willamette (83) FG FT PF Lemmon, F 1 0 0 Burdette, F 1 0 1 Rleke, C 0 0 1 Kaiser, G 4 0 3 Hartley.

Bigger even than some first and second night state tournament crowds. Due partly to the tight game Willamette and Whitman played the first night, and partly to the important coun ty championship contest between Silverton and Chemawa. Well, was anybody disappointed? "That man has Poetry of Motion," a feminine basketball fan said after watching Ernil Pilaso perform at the first Willamette- Whitman game. There's no doubt about It, Pilaso makes a graceful picture out there on the floor; some of the fans watched him and forgot to keep track of what the teams were doing. Piluso's alert attitude re minds as of a bull fighter well, anyway, he remind us of what we imagine a bull fighter ought to be like. Piluso's habit of telling the crowd just what the foul or vio lation was, immediately after he calls it, pleases the fans but we wouldn't recommend it to the rank and file of officials; it in creases their chances of being rec ognized as wrong, if they are wrong, by just that much. Base ball umpires found out long ago that it is dangerous to call a ball high, low, wide or inside, because it narrows the decision down to a point where a considerable num ber of fans will know whether it is right or not, better than His Umps. Looks like another of those 'CURT COUNTS is ? . Jff -fir BAD SAILOR oppose Bt. Karafckk has been will attempt It at the armory triangular race for as Tuesday night. Willamette and Linfield will be playing in the WiVam ette gym, with the Bearkittena opposing the A. Z.

Parrlsh, luckily for us, will be playing out of town. O This Portland A. Z. A. team which plays the Bearkittens is, in cidentally, quite an outfit. It holds the Pacific coast A. Z. A. cham pionship and has won 19 out of its last 20 games, defeating Lin coln, Benson, Jefferson, Frank lin, Roosevelt and Grant high school quintets. AH of the A. Z.

The players were Just as wild as the crowd, and both teams put up a terrible exhibition, tar be low their usual form. The pass lag was wild and fouls caused by over-anxiety numerous. Yet the scoring was more rapid than In any other closely contested high school game played in the valley thia year, due largely to the un orthodox tactics both teams pur sued, and their excellent marks manship. The final score was close but each team had a good lead at one time or another. The Indians were ahead well into the second period but Ilverton rallied and pulled np to the front, 29 to 24 at half time. Increasing that mar gin to 40-21 as the third period ended. Possibly due to better stam lna. the Indians had things their own way In the last quarter, scor ing 12 points to .

( AP) The University of Wash ington five swept a two-game aer ie with Washington State college by winning a nerve-tingling con test tonight, 22 to 30, when Jack Hanover, Washington forward, tossed In the winning basket with less than 30 seconds to go. Wash ington won an over-time game last night, 31 to 27. Only by the most sparkling kind of drive did Washington come from behind, trailing 30 to 19 with eight minutes to go, and win the Tictory which put them right baek on the heels of the league leading Oregon State Beavers, In the northern division of the Coast conference. In the next seven minutes, however, while Washington State was held scoreless, Heaman. Ga- ler, Hanover, Lee and Fuller loop ed in baskets for Washington to bring the count to SO to 29.

He then proceeded to drop in tbe next try, and tied the score at 30-all, while 0000 fans made bedlam in the stands. After the next tip-off, Washing- ton State got the ball but Han over Intercepted a pass and when his mates had worked it down the floor, he tossed in the win ning basket, and the game ended.

And II E Karasick, Back From South Seas, Opposes Frantz On Tuesday Show Wrestling fans who hare been annoyed more than somewhat at the rough antics ot Sailor Frantz, are Invited by Matchmaker Harry Plant to come out Tuesday night and see the sailor get his "need- lngs," and in the hope of insur ing satisfaction, Harry has se lected Al Karasick, the Russian Lion, to administer the chastise ment Harry ot course remaining in his strictly neutral and celt-ef facing role as matchmaker. The teas know that the famous Russian Is capable of taming the obstreperous gob it anybody is but they may also have heard that Al has reformed. He has Just re turned from a barnstorming Jaunt to Australia and New Zea land, where ha won all his bouts except the first one. That one he lost on a foul, before he found out that the fans and the officials down there won't stand tor any fooling. Coming back to the U. S. A., Karasick declared he liked the Russian idea and wasn't ever go ing to be a bad boy again unless the opposition forced him to it. But the fans need have no fears; his first opponent in Portland did the necessary "forcing" and there is little likelihood that Frants will refrain from doing the same. Although Karasick has wrestled in Salem twice, Tuesday night will be his first appearance here in a match with a man of his own weight classification, light heavy weight. Both be and Frants will weigh somewhere around 170. Karasick is best remembered for the near-murder he committed against game little Wildcat Mc Cann, once upon a time when the wild one bragged that tbey could not come too big nor too tough for him. Early in the bout Kar asick Jumped with both feet into the middle of McCann s back, and it really was all over from that moment. At another time when Ernie Arthur was going strong here some of the boys figured he was good enough to beard the Lion, but that also proved to be an ex aggeration. While the fans are taking the usual degree of Interest in the wrestling show Tuesday night, those who prefer boxing are watching with still greater atten tion the plans for reviying the mitt game here Friday night. The matchmaker has announced that the main event will feature Jackie RETURNS HER Fonseca and the Future -By BURNLEY- '""Dykes LOSE HIS MANAGERIAL e .m he was kept so busy that his play ing suffered: so that at the end of the season ft was hard to defend him as either manager or player. Now, after negotiating a really startling trade that brought Dykes, Simmons and Haas from the Ath letics to the White Sox, Fonseca hat loaded more wood on the fire that critics have built up under him. Already fans are saying that Dykes will make a fine manager when Fonseca throw in the sponge; and the same fans see young Billy Sulli van, Jr, as a more likely first base men than Fonseca, Last season Fenseea tried ont Sullivan behind the bat, and at third base, and at first base. A neat many persona decided that first base was the place for the: boy. KOeen (Wattenberger) of Inde pendence and Gay Hickman et Sa lem, a couple ef willing workers who have been rivals for a long time. It will be lv-ronnder. The semi-final will bring together An dy Joerg.of Sllrerton and Bnddy Ambrose ot Salem,' who will elash tor six rounds or less.

MIME Manager FOMSECA WILL HAVE To BEAT OUT YOUHG BILLY SULLIVAN for THE First BASE JOB It'a hard to tell what Fonsec thought, and yoa can see that a de dsion would be difficult for him t make under the circumstances. Fonseca has ear sympathy. Whes the season starts, the fans will ex pect him to show that he is a better man than Sullivan at the initial ack, or he will be expected te get off that spot and keep the boy there. And if the White Sox dont show some smart playing equal at least to the high-priced trading that has been done the fane will expect something to be done about the managerial shoes -Dykes tear mot be itching ttf fill these bregaas. bnt a lot ef folks think he eenld do some efficient stepping ia them. rtt,nrrti7Mfairt.n
