UPSETS, CLOSE TltTSpiE Burns Vanquishes Medford, - liarsnfield Wins out Over Corvaffls . Three of the hottest games of the enrreat state tournament wane played before e relatively small crowd Thursday forenoon, each contest being deckled by one or two points. AU la the left bracket of the toorney. and therefore with little at stake, these games never theless provided unequaled thrills for those spectators who were on hand, especially iaasoraeh as two ot them resulted in startling re versals of tha "depe"i that had been concoct e4 from the same teams? Wednesday showing. Burns started the fireworks with i ll to 31 victory over Med ford, the team thai had given Lincoln such a battle the day be fore; and Marshfleld added to the bewilderment of the fans by nos ing out, S8 to 37 Corrallis, which had pushed Astoria to the limit. The third game was Just as ex citing, with Benson emerging vic tor over Klamath Falls 84 to 23 after the lead had shifted from side to side many times. This third game was not an ap set, as there was no basis for com paring the teams beforehand. Though Medford and Corrallis were not np to their usual stan dard. Burns and Marshfleld nev ertheless deserve credit for the surprise victories, for they played much better ball than in their first appearances. McLean of Marshfleld had finally hit his stride, while the entire Burns team was "on."
