Up Great Battle
Favorites, insofar aa tbere
were any, came through in the
Wednesday afternoon session of
the state basketball- tournament,
though two of the games were
decided in the last minute and a
third required overtime. The one
that came nearest to being a
stunning upset, saw Astoria, the
defending champion, rally when
there were only seconds remain
ing to play, and edge out Cor
rallls 17 to 22.
It was one of those games
which cause numerous fans 'to
complain that there "ain't no
Justice," Inasmuch as Corrallis
by dint of excellent teamwork,
acquired a big majority x of the
reasonable shots but missed far
too many of them; Astoria got
few reasonable shots but sank
many unreasonable ones
which, of course has been a ha
bit with the Fishermen for lo,
these many years.
The lead see-sawed freely from
the beginning. Corrallis led 8-8
after the first period, Astoria 18
11 at half time, Corrallis 19-18
as they entered the last quar
ter. From then on for fire min
utes it was a scramble, the lead
changing bands on each success
ful shot; but in the last two
minutes Wilson, and then Or
wick, scored medium long shots
to salt the game away.'
Torgerson was on the scoring
end of most of Corrallis well
executed plays. Astoria's scoring
was more erenly divided, Arer-
ill's follow-in shots earning him
the honors.

W000BURN TO OPEn
True to pre-tournament pre
dictions, the fighting for single
points that looked as though
they would decide the fate of
nations, began before the annual
fracas was two games old, as
Lincoln, Portland's chief conten
der, nosed out Medford 28 to 25.
Rallying to pick up fire points
In the last period, Medford cut
the lead down to one point, 22-
21, with three minutes left to
go. "Duke' Wellington, a sleepy
center for Lincoln a year ago but
entirely wide awake this season,
popped in a follow shot but Har
ris of Medford made up for it
with a leaping toss. Fltchard,
Lincoln's ace scorer? sank two
short ones to make it 28-23 and
Xuhsman of Medford looped a
long one to finish the scoring.
Medford was handicapped when
Scheel, the only all-state man in
the tournament, went out on
fouls early in the second half.
Lincoln's tall, long range
marksmen looked good to the
fans and many, of them picked
the Railsplltters to reach the
finals. They held the lead most
ef the game, 6-4 after the first
period. 12-10 at the half and 22-
14 as the third period ended.

Marshfield 47 to 11. The Coos bay
boys stayed in the race pretty well
for one quarter, trailing only 10-

a case of how much score Eugene
might pile up. Marshfield went
scoreless In the second period.
Eugene looked as strong as
anybody in the tourney, but its
chances were difficult to judge
because of the gullibility of
Marshfleld's defense. Rundlett
and Wakeman. split the scoring
honors for Eugene. McLean,

A cool, smooth little West Linn
team, erery member quite evident
ly knowing what it was all about,
exhibited some of the slickest
teamwork erer seen at the state
tournament, to defeat Burns, 43
to 20, in the first game Wednes
day afternoon. What success Paul
Brown's little fellows will hare
among the tall timber it will en
counter today remains to be seen.
Campbell, Irish and Marsh dlr
lded practically all of West Linn's
scoring- among them, but the cool
accurate feeding by Karbonski,
eenter, who ontjnmped a taller
Burns man, also caught the fans'
attention. Walsh was Burns chief
scoring threat.

A Worthy Champion
.By BURNLEY.
The orertlme game was not an
vpset, as nobody knew the po
tentialities of The Dalles and
Klamath Falls. The Dalles won.
28 to 25, after trailing at half
time 11 to 2. The teams were as
contrasting as could be Imagined;
The Dalles comparatively small
and fast, but missing all its shots
in the first half; the Pelicans big
and deliberate, and making most
of the shots they acquired.
Some between-halrea calming-
down did the Wasco county boys
lot of good, and they began
making a big majority of their
shots in the second half, cutting
the lead down to 19-14 at the
three-quarter post. Dick of The
Dalles looped the goal that tied
It up at 2 3 -all with a minute
and a half to go. In the orer
ttme he was fouled while scoring
and made It three points with
55 seconds left. Eaeh team
scored once more after that.

WELL, we hare a new welter
weight champion of the
world. Young Corbett m. of
Fresno, California, known to his
family and mora intimate friends
as Raffaels Giordano and to the
fight fans as a good ring-man and
fipnlar champion. The hoys liked
oung Corbett. before he won the
championship last month, and they
like bun area more now that ha has
justified their faith in him.
' He may be able t lift the welter

"! let's sot lose ris&t of the
facta, While Corbett beat a charg
ing, wild-swinging, gvam fighter
when he took the ' championship
from Jackie Fields, he beat a man
who eertaialy was sot the fighter he
once was. For three years Corbett
had bees, forced to wait for that!
chance at the title, and ia those an-
anms he waant getung any better
himself. Question: How good is
Corbett today? .
That's aa important query, for
Corbett has announced that ha has
no Intention of sitting on his erown,
aa it were,' "Come one and all and
try to get it," is his attitude, and
that'a admirable in a champion who
most hare felt that he merited the
crown long before he got a chance
to prtrra what he and the fans were
pretty certain, about. --
And so the lefthander srobabrr
will appear ia New York this sum
mer, since it is announced that Jack
Oempsey has been giren the rights
to sign the new champion for a cer

that ho will give Fields a chance to

with either MeLarnin or Petrolle

And now for a bit of historr.
The Corbett name ia boxing does
seem to-be something. There was
the none-greater James J. Corbett,
who sent the hearyweight crown
spinning from the heavy brow of
John L. Salliran. Then", there was

COMMENTS
Up in Portland they consider
Dare Wright, Lincoln coach
who was formerly at Dallas,
something of a miracle man.
Dare is a graduate coach; and
back in 1910 and 1920 when
he was playing forward for Lin
coln, his school won the Port
land championship. In 1920 it
came to the first state tourna
ment, lost to Salem 12 to 11 in
the finals, and Dare was on the
first all-tournament team. Lin
coln didn't win another Port
land title nor come to the tour
nament again, until Dare re
turned to do the coaching.
The press box roll-call Is prac
tically unchanged from last year.
Harry Leedlng of the Oregon
Jounral is still running a dead
heat with us for "dean" honors,
with Dick Godfrey of the Ore
gonian next in line. Fred Zimmer
man writes 'em down for the Capi
tal Journal, Ray Brooks is back
for the News-Telegram. Jim Nut
ter, who- helped us last year, is
now alternating with C. V. Bern
hard in corerlng the games for
the Associated Press. Dennis Lan
dry is on hand for United Press.
Gardner Knapp is warbling into
the loudspeaker again. With
Dwlght Adams; Marshall Hartley
and Art Erlckson also stationed
there, the press box is in position
to, and does, challenge the state
board of control to a game Sat
urday.
We doubt If we hare erer
seen basketball mars work as
smoothly as those pulled off by
west unn; just luce tne dia
grams, a la football plays In
stead of haphazard as basket
ball plays usually go.
Silrer, Lincoln forward, did
something we had nerer seen done
before In orer a quarter century
of watching basketball; shot bis
free throws with one hand.
Sips for Supper, believe it or
not, has a double; from across
the gym, this fellow, sad to
say, can cardly be distinguish
ed from Sips himself. Close up,
the resemblance Is not so no
ticeable. Sips heard about this
fellow, who seems to be a Sil
rerton fan, at the time of the
district tournament; he is hack
for the state tourney and If Sips
wants to go up there and fee
sorry for the stranger, here's
an open letter to tell him the
interesting looking 'gentleman
is on hand.
"Three seconds in the key
hole," sang out Emil Piluso, the
colorful referee, in one of his best
announcements of the day.
Ralph Coleman is on the job
after all, with something of a
limp, but he gets around ner
ertheless. That orer-strenuous
handball game had him down
for a while, but Coley la a
scrapper and refuse to stay
down. .
Oh boy, that Lincoln yell lead
er. He had the admirable nerre
to go orer and lead the Salem
erowd in a long "boo." We wish
to explain for the benefit of new
comers to the tournament, that
the boys smile when they say
that.
