AFTER 5 YEARS
Reinhart's Men Have Great
Advantage; W.U. Team
. Launches Season
Away back In - January, US ft,
nearly four years ago, fb Willam
ette university Bearcats trounced
th& University of Oregon boop
ster In two games, 44 to 32 on
McArthur court at Eugene and 40
to 39 on Willamette's floor here.
Since then these schools have not
met in an official basketball game.
A year later they held a practice
scrimmage on Willamette's floor
and the Webfeet were so hopeless
ly outclassed that they refused to
arrange a regular series of games.
That was in the period when
Dwisht Adams, George Scales and
Ed Cardinal were on the scoring
end of Willamette's fast-breaking
offense, while Harold Hauk and
"Hoof Gibson brought up the
rear but brought it up so fast that
they sometimes outscored the boys
on the head end. Percy Carpenter,
Koy Benjamin and Andy Peterson
also figured in the Bearcat tri
umphs that season: '
Willamette won the Northwest
conference title that year without
a . defeat, and challenged the
Washington Huskies, northern di
vision Coast conference champs,
but didn't get a tumble. The Web
feet of that year were no weak
lings, at thUt; they made a rood
showing in their own conference.
So Oregon has not defeated
Willamette since 1929 virtually
five years. To be more specific,
Oregon won 39 to 19 on January
5. 1929, at Eugene, tnen nosea
out a 34 to 30 victory here Janu
ary 8. largely through the phen
omenal work of one Scott Milli
gan. who scored mors than half
of Oregon's points.
Now basketball relations be
tween the two schoola have been
renewed and the Webfeet and the
Bearcats will meet on' the Willam
ette floor tonight at .8 o'clock.
There will be a preliminary game
at 7 between the Willamette fresh
men and Lebanon higta.
Willamette's prospects for vic
tory tonight to maintain that five
year record are regarded asr com
paratively slim, principally be
cause it will be the Bearcats' first
game whereas the Webfeet have
several contests behind them and
are approaching top form.
In addition. Coach "Spec"
Keene of Willamette declares that
bis team, though composed largely
of veterans, for some unaccount
able reason has not clicked con
vincingly in practice so far. The
boys looked a little better yester
day than they have previously and
may possibly get going tonight.
- Oregon, with a "blended" con
coction of veterans and experi
enced transfers, is regarded as
having its best chance for Coast
conference honors in many sea
sons. Probable lineups:
Willamette Oregon
Burdett. . . F Robertson
Lemmon F Gemmell
Kloostra C W.Jones

COMMENTS
-s v
Therg has been a suggestion that
the Kclley family turn out and
constitute the Salem high alumni
basketball team which plays Sa
lem high tonight. All five of the
famous Kelley brothers are in
town just at present. They have
set a record for other families to
shoot at in the matter of repre
senting Salem high in sports. For
14 successive years some member
of this family has won at least one
sport letter at Salem high; and
now the succession is broken;
Johnny, the last and probably the
most notable of the quintet, grad
uated last spring after winning
all-state basketball honors. Every
one of the boys was captain of a
Salem high team in some sport.
The Kelley brothers, in their
order, are Harold, Don, Bob,
CharUs (Chinny) and John.
All of them played some bas
ketball, but the first two may
not be In condition for extended
exertion and it might be well to
limit their participation as a
family to a few minutes. Any
way, it's a good idea and w 'd
like to see it come to pass.
O
Nest week in Portland, the an
nual meeting of the state high
school athletic association will be
held, eoinfjdentally with the
teachers' association meeting. Sa
lem's chief interest in the athletic
association meeting is the dispo
sition of the state basketball
tournament, which has been held
at Willamette university here for
14 year3. There was some threat
of moving it last summer; appar
ently it Hied out but you can't tell
what may develop next week.
O
One change that is certain
to be brought up is the division
of competition into "A" ami
"R" classes with a tournament
for each class, and in view of
.the voting majority held by the
small schools, the proposal is
virtually certain of passage un
less some showing as to its dif
, ficulties is made. What prob
ably will happen is that the
proposal will carry, and then it
will be left to someone to pat
it into execution.
The sticker there is to find
someone willing to stage the tour
nament, and we jhave a notion
Linfield college will be In with a
bid. in case neither of the big'
state schools comes forward with
an invitation. There has been no
mention -of possibility that this
situation might disturb the status
of tha "A" tournament here.
However, the state schools and
their 'respective cities, Eugene and
Corvallis, which .last summer dis
claimed any intention to remove
the - big tourney from' Salem,
might use the 'B" tpurnament
proposal as a bidding point, agree
ing to stage the "B" meet if they
also got the "A" event They
might argue they needed the "A"
tournament .to help finance the
-other which would have ' less
drawing power at the gate.
The fallacy of course is that
the "A" tournament would
probably also operate at a loss
either in Corvallis or Eugene,
bat nevertheless that might be
the argument, and so as we
have already suggested, Salem
had better hare Its eyes peeled
for signs of trouble next week.
At the same time, we do not
question the sincerity of Cor
vallis and Eugene in their dis
claimer of Intention to take
the tournament away from Salem.

former president of the United

RED ID BUCK
MEETS ALUMNI
Game is at 8 P. M. With "B"
Contest Preceding; Old
Grids are Strong
The -Salem high school basket
ball team, successor to the state
champion quintet of 1933, will
make its debut tonight on the
home floor when it meets the
alumni in the annual game inci
dent to homecoming. The main
game will be at 8 o'clock, pre
ceded at 7 by the "B" team's clash
with a church quintet.
Coach Hollis Huntington is not
vastly hopeful that his compara
tively green team will be able to
cope successfully with the strong
Aggregation of "old grads" that is
available at present, but the high
school team has never been badly
walloped by the alumni and It
may make it a close contest this
year.
No matter how the game is go
ing, Huntington plans to use
practically all of his "varrjty"
squad. The starting combination
will be Wintermute and Roth for
wards, Engel center, DeJardin
and W. Burrell guards. Another
quintet probably will go in in
tact; Salstrom and Quistad for
wards, Peters center, Dyer and
Johnson or Devers guards; and
there may he other replacements.
Clark Jackson will marshal tha f
alumni forces and though he has
not announced a starting lineup,
some of the men most likely to
get the initial call are Bone, John
Kelley, Kitchen. Jim Burrell,
Sachtler and Perrlne, of the more
recent graduates.
Jackson reports that fife mem
bers of the Kelley family are In
town and if they all report, an
all-Keiley team may take the
floor for a short time. The Sieg
mnnd family also probably will
contribute two or three men to
the cause. All of the alumni who
turn out will probably see action.
