Russian Lion Expected to

Obstreperous gob
Al Karasick, the Lion from Rus
sia who heeds the advice of a Sa
lem professor that the Willamette
valley la the only sale place in the
United States for blondes and
makes bis home in Portland, will
pay Salem his third formal visit
tonight, coming for a mat contest
with Sailor Frantz.
Matchmaker Harry Plant has let
It be known that his principal
thought la signing Karasick at
this time, was to see If somebody,
short of the referee and the box
ing and wrestling commission,
could make the sailor behave and
wrestle somewhere close to the
limits the Police Gazette rules
prescribe. Frants was stopped last
week but the bout had to stop at
the same time, as he was disqual
ified on a foul.
Plant thinks Karasick will be
able to make a good sailor out of
a bad one. Meanwhile, the fans
will be given their first opportun
ity to see what Karasick can do
against a man of his own weight,
as his two previous appearances
were against lighter men. Wildcat
McCann and Ernie Arthur, whom
be found fairly easy to handle.
Karasick is a bull-necked, ferocious-looking
individual who puts
lots of color into his work, and his
recent bouts In Portland have be
lied bis announcement on return
ing from the south seas, that he
would be gentle as a lamb from
now on.
The one-hour bout will feature
a reappearance of Herman Olson,
who has grappled here previously,
against Tom Ray of Seattle.
Though not able to furnish much
detailed Information about these
men. Plant guarantees some live
ly developments.

The Linfield college hoopsters,
regarded by Coach "Spec" Keene
of Willamette as stronger than
Whitman which divided a two
game series with the Bearcats
last weekend, will invade the
Willamette court tonight in the
hope of gaining revenge for the
unexpected defeat the Wildcats
suffered at Willamette's hands
at Linfield several weeks ago.
Since dropping that game to
Keene's squad 28-21, the result
of a surplus showing of "fight"
rather than science on Willam
ette's part, Henry Lever's Wild
cats have given Indication of ra
pid improvement, the most strik
ing being a victory, 50 to 33,
over Columbia university on Co
lumbia's floor. Columbia had pre
viously beaten Linflera and split
a pair of close games with Wil
lamette. Linfield also won from
Pacific, 44 to 38. a week ago,
and bas won from Albany college.
Taken all together, the "dope"
aside from Willamette's victory
in the first game, favors Lin
field tonight.
"Mutt" Eckman, playing bis
last season at guard and always a
scoring threat either close In or
from long range, has been Lin
field's chief hope heretofore but
George Sergeant, another veteran
at forward, has been setting the
pace in the more recent games.
Darby, a third old timer, was
Lever's regular center early in
the season but a freshman, Dur
ham, seems to have nosed him,
out of the Job. The team has
also been strengthened this sem
ester by the return of Stewart, a
star from last year. The Helser
brothers, one an all-state high
school man from Benson Tech,
will also be seen In action.
Willamette's chief concern Is
that a defeat by Linfield would
Irrevocably wipe out any pros
pects of a championship for the
local school, as Whitman with
but one defeat bas finished its
conference season. Tonight's
game will be at 7:30, with the
Bearklttens playing a prelimin
ary prior to that hour.

State Title Contender to
Oppose Salem High on
Court Here Tonight
At least three high school bas
ketball teams which have distinct
state championship possibilities
have appeared against Salem
high here already this season and
two more are to come; Tillamook
high, perhaps the strongest of
the entire gToup, will be enter
tained tonight. The game will
start about 8 o'clock, with the
Salem B team and the Presbyter
ians, Church league leaders, en
gaging in a preliminary at 7 p. ni
The Tillamook Cheesemakers,
always a colorful outfit In their
numerous trips to the tourney,
have In the past included perhaps
one or two notable performers,
all-state men or candidates for
the honor, and have always been
well coached. But as a rule the
teams have not been well bal
anced, the rest of the quintet not
measuring up to the speed and
ability of the one or two stars.
This year all that appears to
be changed; Coach Russ Rarey,
a notable football and basketball
player at Willamette university
In the days of Bob Mathews, for
once has plenty of material. That
Tillamook high Is well equipped
with athletes this season, was evl
denced when Rareya football
team last fall went undefeated
and was considered by competent
critics to be the strongest In the
state with the possible exception
of Jefferson of Portland.
Held to Two-Point
Victory at Coast
Nevertheless Salem's prospects
for a victory tonight are not over
ly gloomy, for Hollis Hunting
ton' squad held Tillamook to a
two-point victory on Tillamook's
owji floor recently, and the home
nor advantage snonid amount to
a little more than that many
points.
Baumgartner, a deceptive floor
worker who Is able to find the
hoop from any distance or angle,
is regarded as Tillamook's strong.
est threat though he did not score
heavily against Salem in the game
at the coast, Kinnamon doing the
major part of the tallying la that
contest.
The Salem high team, which
has looked especially impressive
in its last two games against
weaker opponents, will have to
count on having more speed and
better marksmanship, for It will
be out-sized considerably by the
visitors, especially at center.
Coach Huntington has been
utilizing Thomas in the tipoff po
sition food share of the time
recently, finding him a better
ball handler than Money, who
however, baa the edge In jumping
and probably In shooting. Thomas
will probably start tonight, as
there Is little hope of getting any
tipoffs from Tillamook's tall piv
ot man.
Kelley and Wintermute will be
the starting- forwards and Engle
and Mosher will line up at the
other end of the court. Brownell 's
ankle injury is not healing rapid
ly, and there Is little possibility
that he will play any more this
season.

the outcome of the hockey

It was the renowned "kid line" of
the Leafs which did the trick

and Joe Primean constituting that

told that gruellingr practice goes
behind the marvelous teamwork
that means goals in the rink. It all
happens very quickly and the spec

the puck, but it seems that even the
lightning-fast plays are carefully
mapped and rehearsed. The Rang

much rehearsing, with Bill Cook
as hero.
Just as his team has been skim

A year ago wbdi the Terrible
Swedes? a traveling profession-.
al basketball team, came to Sa
lem the opportunity to see bas
ketball at its best was recog
nized generally, and a large
crowd turned ont to see those
experts play the Florshelms in
the Willamette gym.
This season the Swedes, con
trary to early report, are not com
ing back; they couldn't get
enough games with big enough
guarantees In this part of the
country to make It worth while.
Bat the Tloase of David
hoopetera are coming this
very week. These boys, with the
same length nair and wnuKers
as the House of David baseball
players -so advance publicity
informs will be here Friday
night and will play the Salem
All-Stars In the Willamette
gym. The Davidltes are Just as
big as the Swedes, or a little
bigger; they range from feet
2 to 6 feet 7, and are all ex
college stars.
The All-Stars will Include some
of the fellows who started the sea
son under the Florshelm banner,
and some others including Max
Allen. all-Northwest conference
guard for Willamette last year,
and Buck Grayson, former Oregon
fttata atar who was here wun
Union Oil and Multnomah club
this season. The recruits from tne
Florshelm ranks will be Burrell,
Marr, Foreman and Drager.
That the House of David boys
play the same class of ball as
the Swedes, which means the
best class of basketball piayea
anywhere, is indicated by the
fact that they defeated St.
Mary's Gaels 40 to 31 several
days ago.
We see in a Walla Walla paper
that Whitman Is at least assured
of a tie for the Northwest confer
ence unofficial title. Proving they
haven't revised their mathematics
up there a bit. Whitman will take
the champonship if Willamette
loses one game, but there can't
be any tie.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13 (AP)
The country's football coaches
and officials today gave a prompt
and sweeping vote of approval to
the action of the national rules
committee in making only two
changes in the gridiron eode for
1933, both calculated to improve
the sport as well as further reduce
possibile causes of injury to the
players.
The Associated Press found
coaches in all sections particular
ly pleased with the new sideline
xone rule as an aid to the of
fense. Their own rules group had
recommended it beforehand and
the general response today reveal
ed little opposition to the new
regulations, which automatically
provides for the ball to be brought
in 10 yards whenever it goes out
side or is downed within the side
line cone.
George Yarn ell of Seattle,
prominent west coast official,
seemed somewhat skeptical as to
Just how the new clipping rule
will work out. He suggested it
"might create a highly technical
situation" but did not expand his
meaning.

NOT until next month is half
over will anyone be able to
say whether the visit of the
English women golfers was worth
that long trip across the briny for
Miss Diana Fishwkk and the five
colleagues who accompanied her.
The present tournament at Palm
Beach Is only In the way of a warm
up for the ladies, and if none of
them manages to cop the Florida
championship there are stQl three
more title tournsys la which they
plan to carry on.
It will be recalled that when
Diana Fishwick, then British wom
en's champion, came hare In 1931,
her showing was poor and she was
disappointed. Now. she is third
ranking player tn Britain, sad she
hopes to do better.
And why not? The records show
that golf champions rarely do well
on their- first visits to foreign
shores. What they do later is an
other matter.
Take the Americans who have
gone abroad for their initial at
tempts at alien laurels) Bobby
Jones, Glenna Collet Vare, Jerry
Travers, Chick Evans, Francis
Onimet are some who did dismally
on their first tries. And then there
was the case of Cyril Toller, Brit
ish amateur champion, who bounced
over in 1920 for a fling at the Am
erican title, and promptly bounced
back when he failed even to qualify.
The English women golfers are
well received at the tournaments
this year. They lend color and In
terest to the matches and aa Inter
national Barer is always relished
ky the fans. The business of
teur standing, which tended to
cloud the arrival of Hiss Fishwick,
has been dispelled and the play hi
on.
The Americans are looking to
great things from Maureen Orcutt
of New Jersey, who seems to be
having things her own way on the
Florida links. In the last two years
Miss Orcutt has won in the major
ity of the Winter tournaments tn
which she competed. Miss O. S. Hill
is another fair lady of the links
who is hard to beat in these tour
neys. Following the current Florida
championship tournament, the Eng
lish golfers Will play at Ormond
Beach in the South Atlantis cham
pionship, at St. Augustine in the
Florida East Coast champlonshiy
and tn the Bellear tournament.
