MEDFORD, Ore., Jan. 1S.-JP)-Wniaraette
nnirenity of Salem
defeated the Southern Oregon
Normal school tonight at Ashland,
39 to' 29. in. a close, hard fought
" game. . ;
With two minutes left to play.
the .Sons were trailing by seven.-!
Forward Walton threw three bas
kets in rapid order to nearly tie
the score in a hectic finish.
The game was rough through
out, and according to Coach Spec
Keene of Willamette "got beyond
the control of the officials."
Anton, Willamette center, went
out of the game with a badly
sprained ankle, and Coach Keene
said he would be out of the game
for two weeks. Versteeg, Willam
ette guard, was banished from
the tussle for unnecessary rough
ness. Gastineau, Willamette forward,
was high point man with 12
counters.
"Spec" Keene's Bearcat hoop
sters will return from Southern
Oregon to face a week that will
bring them against two tough in
dependent teams and a college
team that already holds one vic
tory over them.
Oregon Normal, the Sherman
Packards of Portland and the high
scoring Union Oil team, also of
Portland, will furnish opposition
for the Bearcats this week. Wil
lamette will meet the Wolves at
Independence Monday while the
two independent teams will be
met on the Bearcat court Friday
and Saturday.
Coach Al Cox's flashy Wolves,
victors over Willamette 32 to 21
last Monday, will meet a Bearcat
team somewhat stronger than the
one they defeated. With Bill An
ton, back at center the Bearcats
should be able to cope with Nor
mal's dead-eye center, Jack But
terworth, whose ability to flip
baskets over his shoulder from
just outside tha foul circle was
the straw that broke the Bear
cat's back.
Whether Coach Keene has solv
ed the problem of "What ails the
Bearcats" will not be known un
til Monday night. The team had
been, at least up to last night's
victory at Ashland, unable to re
capture the aggressive drive it had
in its' three early games and has
fallen down on its ability to hit
the basket.
The Sherman Packards were de
feated by Grand Theatre here sev
eral weeks ago after a hard, fast
battle. Union Oil. which the Bear-
cats meet Saturday, is one of the
best independent quints in the
northwest and includes such for
mer college stars as "Spook" Ro
bertson, Ralph Cairney and Glen
Sanford. The Oilers downed Wil
lamette twice last year in three
games.
Hopmen Win Over
Canby Five 29-13
INDEPENDENCE Jan. 18.
Coach Loren Mort'g Hopster. bas
ketball team showed plenty of
power Friday night on the local
court In beating Canby high quin
tet 29 to 13.
The Independence team ran
wild through the entire game. The
Canby boys only scored three
points on the Independence first
stringers, taking the 10 points
when the second siring played in
the second and fourth quarters of
the game.
Ray Dunckel and Junior Hart
man. Independence's flfsby for
wards turned in 23 of the points.
The good playing of the entire
team was the deciding factor in
ringing up the long lead from the
opponent team.

Touh Games Are
Faced by Dallas
DALLAS, Jan. 18. -Dallas
high opens one of its toughest
weeks of the se'ason when it en
counters Silverton on thehome
floor Tuesday night In a Willam
ette Valley league game. The
Orangemen take on the Silver
Foxes at Silverton Friday night in
another contest against the sec
ond place jteam.
Dwight Adams' men could turn
the league raee into a havoc by
knocking over the Silverton eag
ers in either game and they are
apt to do just that if they con
tinue, to improve. Dallas put up a
terrific battle before the losing
out to Monmouth Friday in the
County league opener.
The Orange quintets have for
the last -four 'years had a mon-
opoly over the county in basket
4 ball but this year the champion
ship might go to any school. The
defeat Friday was the first A lea
gue loss for Dallas in . five years
and the first in 17 consecutive
conference gam en.

THE torch - topped Mervin
(Red) Dutton. in his first
year as a big league hockey
pilot, has already made a terrific
impression with his brilliant hand
ling of the heretofore unmanage
able New York Americans.
This fiery ice man took a disorga
nized bunch of hockey prima don
nas, notorious for their lack of
team-work and diffidence in action,
and welded them into a well-knit,
smoothly functioning sextet that is
a real championship threat.
The Americans, it must be re

BY rAUL HAUSE-K
The Oregon High School Ath
letic association has done a very
wise thing in putting the B teams
m a bracket ny -"J
the state basket
ball tournament.
The four teams
from the state's r"
four B districts
will play each
other until all
are eliminated
but one. That
one will then
and there be
come the state B
school champion.
But it will go on
into the semi-fi- PsnlHsaMx
nals of the tournament, meeting
an, A school team, and there's
always the possibility that it can
add the grand state champion
ship to its B school title.
O
The drawings for the tour
nament were held yesterday at
Portland. Salni, which can
come to the tournament even if
jt doesn't win a game the
whole season, will play in the
first game of the first night's
program against the champion
of District No. 6. McMinnville
represented District 6 last year
and probably will again.
The A schools, who saw Oak
ridge -surprise everybody last year
by getting clean into the semi
finals, had better not forget the
B schools this year. There are'
several of them that are hot after
the state title. One of the best is
little Bellfountaln, dubbed the
Biant-killers. Bellfountaln high
school is in South Benton coun
ty nd has a grand tOtaLof 59
students, male and female, en
rolled. Out of that Coach Kenny
Litchfield has . developed, a bas
ketball team that has been top

Stanley Cup play-offs once in their
long and turbulent career as mem

That was in 1928-9, and it was
hockey's greatest manager, that
miracle man of the ice, Tommy
Gorman, who performed a verita
ble feat of legtrdemain in queer
ing the Americans into a coveted
play-off berth.
Dutton, a playing manager, is
one of the best defense men in the
loop, if any one should ask you;
and his work on ice is really an in

under "Spec" Keene's tutelage.
So far this year his team has

the Canadiens, the Americans' pug

two assists, a remarkable scoring
record for a defense player.
The addition of the veteran Nels
Stewart has helped the Americans a

With their newly found fighting

be reckoned with when the play-offs

j Referee Seeks Revenge on
-Bad Man; Curtis' and :
Lipscomb Billed . '
Harry Elliott, one of the war
riors hurt, humiliated and deeply
grieved by Hobo Cliff Chambers'
rampages in the armory wrestling
arena several weeks ago, will take
his turn at vengeance Tuesday
night when he and Chambers meet
in the main event of the American
Legion wrestling show at the ar
mory. Otis Clingman, also previously
maltreated by Chambers, dumped
the mighty Hobo last week and
presumably the rough and tough
gentleman is in for no easy going
as the ghosts of his past indiscre
tions come back to haunt him and
take him to pieces.
Was First Victim
Elliott was Chambers' first vic
tim in Salem, the whirlwind from
practically no "place dumping El
liott unceremoniously over the
ropes for a fall and a couple of
bounces when the latter was ref
ereeing Chambers' first go here.
Later the Hobo downed Elliott
when the referee was in his "rass
lin' " clothes.
Jack Curtis, clever wrestler
who has long been a favorite here,
will meet Bud Lipscomb, hard
eyed rascal from Missouri in the
45 minute semi-windup. Lips
comb's tactics are a bit on the foul
side while Curtis sticks pretty
close to science.
Otis Clingman, who evened
matters with Chambers last week,
will take on Dick Costello in the
30 minute opener.

Unable to Miss Loop
in Early Period
SEATTLE. Jan. 1 8-)-Thre
University of Washington basket
ball teams took turns peppering
the basket to smother the College
of Puget Sound Loggers 80 to 15
in the second contest of their two
game series here tonight.
Last night at Tacoma, Washing
ton won the first game 53 to 4 0.
The Washington second team
scored seven out of every ten
shots to run up a lop-sided lead
of 48 to 10 in the first half, the
first team regulars carried on for
a bit of practice during the next
ten minutes to reach a count of
70 to 13 and the third stringers
added ten more points in the clos
ing minutes.
The Tacoma team started out
in the yead 3 to 0 when Tollefsoa
cashed a field goal and free throw
but from that time on the Log
gers saw little of the ball as the
Huskies scored baskets from ev
ery conceivable angle.
After Tollefson scored his three
points, C.P.S. failed to count acaia
until the Huskies had tallied 26
points for themselves in the fol
lowing ten minutes.
