U- Short Shot System is Eventual Winner; Gafhe Close All the Way In a rapid-fire scoring duel . which developed into a test of systems the "work-it-in" style of the Willamette Bearcats vs. the "cast off anywhere" policy of the Puget Sound Loggers, Wil lamette and the short shot sys tem nosed out ahead, 34 to 30, la the first of two Northwest conference games on the Willam ette flpor Thursday night. The am teams will play again at 8 o'clock tonight. The clashing of systems, in which It was observed that Pu get Sound's was highly similar to that ofthe Washington Huskies, coupled with the fact that never more than five points advantage was gained by either team, made Thursday night's contest highly spectacular, and he rivalry which is rapidly growing between the two schools was much In evi dence. This latter factor, how ever, found expression solely in hard playing: it was an exceed ingly cTean game, each team be ing charged up with only six fouls. Willamette led, with a margin yarying from one to four points, throughout the first half and wound it up leading 14 to 13. The second half had not gone a minute before the Loggers dashed ahead and. they looped a couple more field goals in rapid succession to make their margin four points. Coach "Spec" Keene of "Wil lamette then sent in Manning, the only Bearcat substitute of the game, with definite instruc tions as to how that long range attack could be crippled. The Bearcats soon climbed back into a two-point lead, held it at about that figure until the lastlwo minutes and finally doubled it. The Loggers, at least four of them, proved deadly shots from far out, and likewise in close on the few occasions they got there. Willamette, controlling the tip off, took many more shots but couldn't sink even a fair per centage of the short ones. t Summary: Pugtrt Sound (30) G F TP Stoffel LF 3 1 7 Smith RV 3 0 6 nti c 5 2 12 Lindquist LG 2 Pollock RG 0 o Totals 13 Willamette (34) Lemmon LF 442 Burdett RF 5 Kloostra C 5 Hartley LG 0 Frantz RG 3 30 4 10 12 2 6 0 0 o M 2 0 Totals 15 4 34 Personal fouls: Kloostra 2.

Freshmen Drub Salem High 31 to 17; Permit no Field Goals in First Half W COMMENTS The career of Salem high school's basketball team this sea son has been a peculiar one. Not counting the alumni game, Sa lem s standing at present is .500; seven won and seven lost. But the peculiar thing is tLat seven games in a row were won at the opening of the season and then seven were lost, also in unbroken succession. Two of the teams that lost to Salem high early in the season, won the return games. The Salem high boys shouldn't be downhearted about the licking they took last night: that Willam ette Freshman outfit is probably the strongest in history and be sides, the Salem boys got worried, got to trying too hard and didn't show at their best. In the seven games won, Salem high scored 242 points to oppon ents' 161: in the seven lost it scored 143 to opponents' 222 Here is the Salem high record to date, with the victories in black face and the defeats in Jightface type: Kalem SO, Parker's 20. Salem 24, Ashland 14. Salem 32, Willamette Fros.h 30. Salem 40. Tillamook 20. ; Salem 23, 0. S. C. Rooks 23. : Salem 37, Chemawa 23. ' Salem 34, Si 1 vert on 22. Salem 21. Eugene 28.

That's rather a unique record but sad to say, its significance probably isn't purely academic. What we mean is, there must he a reason, or reasons. Ike Wintermute's illness, which meant not only the loss of his marksmanship but a letdown in team confidence, explained a conple of those defeats, or at lenst their decisiveness. The loss of Meivin En gel. one of the bent guards Salem high has had in years, also has been a factor. O But we fear that the logical conclusion when a team wins its early season games and loses most of its later ones, will have to be considered. It's simply that this team has not improved as rapidly as the others. Perhaps those early victories came too easily and there wasn't the incentive to xlis in and work for improvement. If that is the answer, there is also the cheering consideration that it's still more than a month until the state tournament, that victories and defeats prior to March 21 mean precisely nothing and there is that much time to get a real basketball team developed. Babe Ruth and Pro Pal in Tie For Golf Honor TAMPA. Fla., Feb. 15.-UP)-Babe Ruth, king of the bier league slugger?, golfing here today tied for first place In the pro-amateur tournament. The Babe teamed with Billy Burke, former American open champion, to put together a best ball card of 35-3166. Clayton Attrldge, professional at Rocky Point, and Burl Bolesta, 16-year-old amateur, both of Tam pa, posted 32-34 66 and the two teams split first and second prizes. "thfi nvotifan at horns.

The final score was 31 to 17, but Salem high scored 12 of its 17 points against a second fresh man quintet: the score was 26 to 5 when Coach Lestle Sparks of the Freshmen took his regu lars off the floor and sent In the other group, at the opening of the fourth period. Throughout the first half Sa lem high managed to collect Just one point on a free throw, and was behind 18 to 1 at half time. The third period was halfway through before Wintermute fin any took the ban on the re bound and looped it In for the red and black's first field goal. It was not, however, a mat ter of the high school boys shooting wildly; the Freshmen simply kept control of the ball a big tajority of the time and when Sa'.em high did get It. kept everybody smothered so thoroughly that no reasonable shots wer possible. Mosher, a Salem high player last year, dominated the scoring for the Freshmen In the first half, but it was more evenly di vided in the second half. All of Mosher's mates did some excellent feeding to make his scoring pos sible.
