PAGE SIX Th OREGON STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon, Tuesday Morning February 20,' 1934 amook Hoops&ers Invade Salem for Game Tonight Til! TO FACE TEST Fans Wonder if Break Last Week in Losing Streak Really Significant Basketball fans of Salem are expected to tarn out 100 per cent tonight at the high school gymnasium to Judge for them selTes whether tho apparent re JuTenation of the Salem high quintet, demonstrated in a 40 to 33 Tictory orer Corrallis on the enemy's floor last Friday night, was the real thing. To proTide tonight's test, the Tillamo:": high quintet will make it, mniiil aDoearance on Salem's , floor. Tillamook has always been a dangerous opponent of the red and black, winning both games played last year though it took each by only a two-point mar gin. Early this season Salem high went to the coast and defeated Tillamook 40 to 20, but that was ' while the red and black winning streak was in full swing. If - i Tillamook turns the tables to ! night it will be another indica ' tion that the 1933 state champ Ions have developed in reverse fashion this season; but the fans generally are confident that there has been a "new deal" dating from last Friday night and that Coach Hollis Huntington's boys will hold their own with almost any opposition for the remainder of the season. Tillamook lost the two tall players who made its attack so effective last season, but has Baumgartner, its 1933 scoring ace, and several other experi enced men who form the nucleus for a faster though smaller quin I tet. Three-Point Victory Won By Webf eet MOSCOW, Idaho. Feb. 19.-JP)-In a rough basketball game that contained 27 free throws for fouls, Oregon barely took Idaho into camp here tonight, 33 to 30. Idaho started the scoring, run ning up five points before OHnger sunk one for Oregon, which then romped into the lead while Idaho went to pieces. With the score 20 to 7 in the visitor's favor, Idaho 'revived somewhat to cut it down to 22 to 14 by recess time. Grenier, Idaho center, started the ball rolling in the second half by snaring a basket. A free throw, earned by Berg's foul, and a bas ket by Wally Geraghty closed the gap somewhat, 22 to 19. From then on it was not easy sailing for the Oregonians. Summary: Oregon (33) Robertson LF San ford LF Gemmell RF : Berg RF W.Jones C B.

LOUIS, Feb. 19 -()-John Pepper -. Martin, Cardinal third . todar aimed a contract 'for 19J4 at what he said was a "satisfactory ngure. SHI LUG FOR TIGHT CONTEST "CW" Herr Hitler plans to do things about golf in the Father land. Build hundreds of courses, set club does at 80 cents a year for a maximum and arrange for lower prices on equipment. A golfers' paradise that far. Bat from what we have heard of Herr Hitler, we judge the next step will be to make golf compulsory and what drudgery it will be then! Up to date the football people in this country have taken the Carnegie Foundation's reports seriously. But if they don't watch out, those reports will soon pro voke nothing but a laugh. Notre Dame and U. S. C. are busy de fending themselves against the latest terrific charges namely that their teams have been "ex ploited" for commercial purposes. By the way, what does that word "exploited" mean? Some how "exploit' has a pleasant ring to it and "exploited" an unpleasant one. Ah yes, the Trojans and the Ramblers have performed some wonder ful "exploits" but in the mean time they have been "exploit ed," according to the Founda tion. The facts, we believe, are pretty well known. At U. S. C, football players are "cared for" quite thoroughly and in return, they are rather completely under the thumb of the athletic department; if for instance the boss says "stay in junior college a couple more -years until we need you," they stay there. That indeed is exploit ation in the unpleasant sense. But the boys don't really have to stay; two who didn't are Arbel bide, now at Washington State, and Van Vleit, now at Oregon. So we have to conclude that the boys, and the public, like the exploita tion or there wouldn't be any Tro jans nor any sell-outs at the Olympic stadium. Af Notre Dame from all we have heard, the situation is dif ferent. Catholics as a class are sports-minded people and Notre Dame represents to them the acme of Catholic achievement in sport. Every young Catholic boy who kicks a football around dreams of being a foot ball hero at. Xotrc Dame, and when he grows up, he goes there if he thinks he can make the team. And so Notre Dame can do big things in football without much active proselyt ing. After they get there all the boys who are able-bodied play football and the best of them make the varsity, The prestige of Knute Rockne and of Jess Harper before him, drew to No tre Dame also a few outstand ing gridsters who were not Ca tholics. All we can see to the charges is that football players have earned four million dollars for Notre Dame and no doubt more than that for U. S. C. and the players themselves have received practic ally none of it despite the stor ies about the luxurious cars a few of the Trojans have driven. So it's easy to see that the boys, after all, are comparative lye amateurs even in those cen ters of alleged high-pressure football. That, we supposed, was what the Foundation want ed when It published its first bomb-shell report. This latest one would indicate that the Foundation wants the players to get what they earn. Blamed if we can reconcile the two ideas. Personally we denlore football that is too hieh-nressure. Rut does John Public? Surely! Didn't ne thrill to the western invasion of the Columbia Lions because they were simon-pure? Only 40, 000 of him, for a Rose Bowl game that has drawn six-figure crowds for over a decade. MT.

TO S5 GUT Close Contest is Expected; Achiu and Heinz Also Tangle on Mat Robin Reed and Jack Curtiss will be the principals in tonight's main event wrestling match at the armory. Curtiss indicated that he is able to give Reed a hard battle when he last week won over Art Perkins who had pre viously won from Reed twice. However. Reed has never been outclassed, within the memory of Salem fans, and a victory for Cur tiss Is by no means assured. The popularity that belonged to Perkins a few weeks ago, has switched over to Curtiss, not so much because he won last week as because Perkins apparently "backslid" from his former good manners in the ring and tried some "dirty work" and Curtiss made valiant strides toward con verting him into a good boy again. Walter Tinkit "Sneeze" Achin and "Cowboy" Heinz of Burns will figure on the second bouL The preliminary, an hour bout like the others, has not been an nounced as to personnel.

(-Pacific university withstood a last half rally by the College of Puget Sound basketball team and won, 38 to 33, here tonight, mak ing up its seventh northwest con ference victory. Willamette university's hoop sters face one offthelr hardest games of the season tonight when they invade the stronghold of the Linfield Wildcats at McMinnville for a Northwest conference game. Going at their best, the Bearcats were able to defeat Linfield only by four-point margin, 32 to 28, here several weeks ago, and they will be up against a determined bunch of Wildcats and facing the handicap of a strange court to night. Both teams are out of the con ference championship race but they have that little matter of their own rivalry to Inspire them tonight. Linfield has defeated Willamette only once since forma tion of the present conference, and that was on Llnfield's floor and after Willamette had just lost ter for the University of Calif ornia at Los Angeles football team last fall, enrolled today in the United States army air corps and will leave immediately for Randolph field, Texas, for train ing. now we Starring Popeye YOU MRS.

Since meeting Willamette here early this month, Linfield has suf fered the Ignominy of a defeat at the hands of Albany college, but that was a case of Albany's team, reorganized rather c o m p 1 e t ely since the second semester opened, finally hitting its stride, and not an indication that the Wildcats have weakened. That defeat will provide them with additional fire for a determined battle tonight.

Minor league will be played tonight, with each game having a direct bearing on the all important second place race which will determine which team Is to meet the Teachers, already assured of first place, in the play off. Square Deal Radio and Pay'n Takit are tied for second place now with Western Paper just a game behind. Should either Square Deal or Pay'n Takit win and the other lose, the winner will be "in" but if both win another game to decide the playoff en trant will be necessary; and if both lose and Western Paper wins, it will become a three-way tie again. Western Paper plays Kay Wool en Mills at 7 o'clock, Square Deal meets Teachers at 8, Pay'n Takit plays Oregon Paper at 9.
