LANTERAJ JAW-- v X r.J WHATA TARGET FOR My tk jWft- RIGHT HAND--SAVS 2-6 ONE of the most colorful char acters in the modern sports world, "Kingfish" Levinsky, is very much in the limelight just now. Because of the squabble be tween the various promoters, man agers and piece-men involved in the "Carnera-Baer tangle, it now seems certain that Madison Square Gar den, which has the champion tied up, will sidetrack Max Baer and give the summer title shot to the Chicago "Kink." To start out his build-up as heavyweight challenger, the Lar ruping Litvak from the Windy City will attempt to park his goofy right th rhin of Charlev Massera, youthful Pittsburgh. heavyweight, in is emDrogno is Bulldogs Defeat West Linn Five by Seven Counts WOODBURN, Feb. 5. The Woodburn Bulldogs won a bas ketball game over their oppon ents from West Linn Friday night on the local floor by a score of 27 to 20. Jackson and Suveran tied for high score with 10 points each to their credit. The "G" game also was finish ed with a score in Woodburn's favor. West Linn making 14 points, Woodburn 18.

BILL TERRY WILL TALK INSTEAD OF BABE WHO IS ILL NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-(jP)-BlU Terry, manager of the world champion New York Giants, an nounced today he had signed a contract to replace Babe Ruth on a radio program for boys, start ing Feb. 14, as a result of Ruth's illness and inability to complete his part on the program. Ruth has been confined with an attack of influenza for the past ten days. He has shown suf ficient improvement to make plans for departure this Thurs day for the Yankee camp at St. Petersburg, Fla.

The Dayton boys second team lost stee there the same evening in a 14 to 10 score game. Jefferson Girls : Whip Aumsville JEFFERSON, Feb. 6. The Jefferson high school basketball teams divided honors with the Aumsville teams: in the game play ed here Friday nirht. high school girls' beat Aumsville scheduled to take place Friday at Madison Square Garden. If the King-fish hands Massera a shellacking, as is expected, he will then take on the German heavy weight contender, Walter Neusel. Then, if His Majesty comes through these bouts with his fistic reputa tion, such as it is, still intact, he will be tossed in thert with the mountain that walks like a man, better known as Prime-0 Camera, in a battle for the heavyweight championship of this and all other universes. Meester Levinsky may not be such a bad opponent for Camera, at that. He fought the big guy on two previous occasions, and is still alive. More than that, the Kink seems to believe that he was robbed of both verdicts in their previous scrambles, and he can point to sev eral newspaper accounts of the Reed and Perkins to Meet Tonight; Bulldog Jackson Is on Mat Program Here Flns who have been waiting, more or less Impatiently, for Ro bin Reed and Art Perkins to fin ish their quarrel begun here over a month ago, will get their fill, presumably at the armory tonight. Reed is put more or less on the spot" in this match because it was reported signed, then call ed off and the announcement was that Reed had taken a run-out powder. In view of Reed's past willingness to meet all comers, only a few fans will accuse him of timidity about meeting Perkins; his reasons probably had to do with the bigger gate and bigger split available if he could induce Matchmaker Herb Owen to stage the bout in Portland instead of here. Nevertheless the Reedsport editor will probably hear a few raspberries tonight. In their first meeting here, Per kins won but he might not have except for Reed's tactical error in trying to enliven the affair by pinching Perkins' midriff; this by a score of 19 to 2, and the Jefferson high boys lost to Aums ville, 29 to 9. The game played by the grade school was won by Jef ferson by a' score of 9 to 3. LIONS WILL VIEW HOCKEY CONTEST Members of 1.e Salem Lions club are organizing a party to go to Portland Friday night to at tend the last of the hockey games between Portland and Vancouver to be played in the Rose City this season. About 40 are expected to go on the junket. John Marr is in charge of arrangements. . OLD FLAG DISPLAYED A 13 star American flag re puted to hare been made by Betsy Ross is on display at the court house now. It belongs1 to J. E. Shaveland, 876 N. Liberty, and has. been handed down in his fam ily since the Revolutionary war. The flag is made of wool and is in a good state of preservation. All j the stars are hand sewn as were the stripes originally. ; fights which support him in his opinion. Then, too, Levinsky has improved tremendously in the last few months under the crafty tutelage of Fisti ana's Silver Fox, Pete Reilly. The silver-thatched master mind has made the King get into really good condition, and has improved his boxing considerably while teaching him to shorten his right hand wal lops. Levinsky claims to have put Car nera on the deck for no count in one of their former jousts, and he i very anxious for another shot at the giant Italian's lantern jaw. However, there is always the chance that Prof. Thomas Lough ran may upset these plans by out scoring Signor Camera in their ap proaching Miami duel.

Walter Tinkit Achiu, the color ful Chinese, will meet Less Nelson, a newcomer from Great Falls, Montana. There has been a change in the plans for the opening bout. In stead of another appearance by Don Sugai, Owen has decided to bring back "Bulldog" Jackson, matching him with Jack Curtiss who defeated Mickey McGuire last week. Repeating the special attrac tion of last week, the management has announced that women fans will be admitted free. From Italy 7 , Fresh from the sunny land of Italy comes Vittorio Tamagnini, feather weight champion of that country, te do battle with the best the United States has to offer. He is shown arriving at New York, where he will go into training for his American ring campaign, 7 Vr. I 2 f Lever's Men Hold Victory Over Columbia; Neely, Brostrom Speedy One of the most hotly contest ed games of the current North west conference basketball season is expected tonight when the Wil lamette Bearcats and Linfield Wildcats clash cn the Willamette floor at S o'clock. The freshmen will play in a preliminary. Linfield has played only one conference game, defeating Al bany college by a big margin, but Coach Henry Lever's boys have won over Columbia university in Portland and therefore are fav ored to defeat the Bearcats al though under regular rules Wil lamette might have beaten Colum bla Saturday night. In that game Willamette lost the advantage of the tipoff, which it took regularly from Columbia here in a previous game. Sharpshootlng honors on the Wildcat squad have been divided recently between Neely and Bros trom, the forwards, alinough Neely Is a little more highly rat ed than his running mate. Dur ham, center, and Stewart and Hel ser, guards, are the other Linfield regulars and all are highly talent ed. Linfield has beaten Willamette only once in Northwest conference competition and that was an oc casion when the Bearcats had just lost the championship to Whitman and were a trifle "down." How ever, Willamette's past victories are doing it no good this season, as the series with Pacific revealed. BEAT T MT. ANGEL, Feb. 5. The Mt. Angel hoopsters defeated the strong Turnvereln team on the local floor Sunday, by a score of 18 to 11. The game was more or less a give and take affair in the be ginning. More rivalry prevailed as the game moved along. At one time the Turnverein gained nine points in a stretch, and the fact that their star player was missing may have accounted for their los ing the game. Lineup: Turnverein Mt. Angel Phillips F. .

J., Feb. 5.-(jP)-Glen Cunningham, sensational University of Kansas flier, broke the half mile record for the 113th infantry armory track to night, stepping the five laps on the flat boards in 1 minute 57 seconds. Cunningham broke the tape 10 yards ahead of Frank Nordell. New York university's "iron man," coming from fourth place in the last two laps. Content to hang behind to become accus tomed to the slippery track, un banked and with treacherous turns, Cunningham passed Dean Woolsey, of the Boston A. A. and Joe Chapman of the Newark A. C. without any effort whatsoever at the start of the fourth lap and then breezed by the leading Nor dell as though th9 Violet ace were standing still. The Kansan's time for the first quarter was 58 -25 seconds. Ob servers estimated his 1:57 was comparable to a 1:55 In Madison Square he ran away from Gene Venxke in the mile only two nights ago.

You may take your pick tonight but whatever hap pens, it looks as though this great commonwealth was back in the spotlight in the world of bas ketball. An Oregon win would help Oregon State mightily the Webfeet themselves are out of It, theoretically, after dropping that beartbreaker last night. But even If the Webfeet do give the Beavers an assist. It's just like them to come back about March 2 or 3 and spoil it all by giving Gill's boys another licking. That's the way they do things in that league. We expect to see some hot basketball here tonight, as we roam about by airplane from one gymnasium to the other. Some of yon fans ought to ac company us on that jaunt some night. Eight basketball games and a wrestling show. You'd think we would get dizzy, wouldn't you? Old Henry Lever has been ach ing ior some revenge against the Bearcats and he may cut a slice of it tonight.

The fight, the first title affair to be held in Florida since Jim) Corbett knocked out Charlie Mit chell, a British contender, in a heavyweight bout in Jacksonville, 40 years ago, was witnessed by approximately 23,000 persons, mostly southerners, who backed Knight to the limit. Announcement was made oy Garden officials that the scrap drew gate receipts oi approxi- mately $35,000.
