N the list of hockey's leading
scorers all season, the names
of Frank Boucher and Larry
Aurie have been near the top.
Boucher and- Aurie are not very
big. but they are very smart, and
their hockey, brains make them
among the most feared stick han
dlers ta the major ice loop.
Aurie. the mighty little right wing
man of the powerful Detroit Red
Wings, has been performing in sen
sational fashion during the current
ice campaign, his brilliant work
being a big factor in the Wings' bid
for first place in the American di
vision of the hockey circuit. -
No better proof of Larry's quali
fications as a master mind of the
ice could be found than this De
troit sends him on scouting trips
when the team isn't playing, realiz
ing his great knowledge of the game
makes him an ideal judge of hockey
talent.
The mild-mannered Boucher, ace
of the New York Rangers, and
many times winner of the Lady
Byng trophy for clean play, is still
the No. 1 center of the league, de
spite his many years of play. Frank
is second only to King Clancy in
point of big league service, signing
with Ottawa in 1921 just twenty
minutes after the "Kink' had
scrawled his Hancock on the dotted
line.
Sixteen years of fierce ice cam
paigning have taken their toll of
Boucher's speed, but his ice canni
ness. shrewd judgment and stick
handling skill keep him at the top.

Scio's Chance For
B Title Is Lost
J5C10, Feb. 26. Scio's Linn
county class B championship went
glimmering at Harrisburg Tues
day, when they came out on the
short end of a 22-15 scorce. In a
rough and hard-fought game,
fouls were the order for both
teams. Scio was handicapped by
the smallness of the Harrisburg
floor.
Scio will be out with blood in
their eye at the Linn county tour
nament at Shedd March 5, 6 and
7. The defeat Tuesday does not af
fect Scio's tournament chances.
Scio girls lost their first league
game to Harrisburg on the latter's
floor Tuesday, 31-20. The breaks
all went Harrisburg's way to beat
Scio's previously undefeated sex
tet.
Scio boys mopped up Albany
College freshmen Friday night,
26-6 on the college floor. Folks
here will see two games February
28, when Gervals teams come for
return encounters. Gervals de
feated Scio boys there, and Scio
girls were victors over Gervals
girls.
Arrangements for a fistic meet
ing of Frank Riggi, Brooks light
heavy, and Wes Hayes, flashy
Portland negro, in the armory
arena March 6 were completed
yesterday Promoter Curley Feldtc
man announced.
Riggi, who has scored two
knockouts and gained a decision
and a draw in his four last fights,
is eager to meet the fast Portland
negro who with him is rated as
Oregon's best in the light heavy
field.
Hayes scored a second round
knockout over Tiny Cooper, Hub
bard, in his only appearance in
the local ring. Riggt also holds a
knockout win over the Hubbard
boy but didn't get it until the
eighth round. Hayes lost a deci
sion to Jack McCarthy of Tacoma
Wednesday night in Portland but
8port8writers claimed that Referee
Tom Loutltt robbed him.
$150 Bonds Posted
tn order to assure that both
fighters will put in an appearance,
bonds of $150 have been posted
by managers of the fighters. The
only question not settled is over
the referee. Feldtman has been
holding out for Jack McCarthy,
who has been successfully referee
ing the cards here, while Hayes
manager insists that Tom Loutltt,
Portland sports official, be given
the assignment.
Feldtman is lining up a strong
supporting card.
Staters Excited
Over Crown Hopes
Enthusiasm Hot on Cam
pus as Tilts With Oregon,
Huskies Approach
Missionary From
Africa to Speak
CORVALLIS. Ore.. Feb. 26-Up)
Basketball enthusiasm, always
high here, boiled and sizzled to
night as the Oregon State college
basketball team prepared for the
homestretch dash toward the
northern division Coast confer
ence championship.
The three defeats inflicted on
University of Washington by
Washington State and Idaho left
the Huskies only one game ahead
of Oregon State.
Oregon State and Washington
wind up their season next week
with a pair of games at Seattle,
and the championship hinges on
the outcome.
Friday Game Concerns
But Coach Slats Gill was more
concerned for the present about
Friday night's game here against
University of Oregon.
The Beavers only barely man
aged to nose out the Oregon Web-
foots here last week to gain a two
to one lead in their series.
Washington still has a big ad
vantage in the final stretch, as a
single win would give it the cham
pionship.
If Oregon State 6hould lose to
Oregon, the Beavers still couiu
climb back to a first place tie If
able to defeat the Huskies twice.
one psychological masterpiece.
Here are Curly Feldtman and
Ace Baker at odd over refer
both holding out for the
man they should be against.
Feldtman, who a wore after
Jack McCarthy gave Red Rader
a draw with- Riggi that McCar
thy would never referee at the
armory again, is strong for Mc
Carthy. Ace Baker, whose We
Hayes waa given an adverse de
cision by Tom Loutltt Wednesday-
(George Berts of the Ore
gon Journal said it waa a plain
rob), demands Ixwtitt for the
man in white. Anyway Hayes
and Riggi will get together In
the armory ring a week from
Friday to battle for the very
mythical Oregon heavyweight
championship.
The call of the Litbian springs
was too much for Wardlow How
ell, 6-foot-S Webfoot center, nee
Sons. Back to Ashland he goes af
ter a very short stay at an insti
tution of higher education. Poor
Wardlow couldn't keep up that
browbeating grade average and so
the exodus from Southern Oregon
Normal to University of Oregon
Btarts its reversal. There was too
much promise in the promised
land and Howard "Moses" Hob-
son will have to look for a new
flock to lead to the green pas
tures.
O
Ever since Hobsoa loaded his
Gigantic Grenadiers aboard a
few extra flat cars at Ashland
and tagged them C.O.D. Eugene
there have been wondering if
there wasn't jnst a little bit of
antagonism between the ex
Sons and the ex-regular Web
feet. Some have offered that as
n explanation of Oregon's drop
far below its p re-season expec
tations. Others have put for
ward the idea that Oregon's ex
tensive pre -season barnstorm
ing took the pepper out of the
Goliaths while the most often
theory just blames it on too
much "ragged individualism."
Hope that was a feeble, flick
ering flame on the Oregon State
campus has boomed Into bonfire
proportions with Washington's
tumbling at Pullman. "Slats"
Gill's Beavers are definitely back
in the race to protect their title
and if they can take both of their
games from Washington next
weekend they tie or win. It all
depends on how they come out
with Oregon Friday night wheth
er two wins would give them the
championship or an even break. If
they lose to Oregon, which they
shouldn't, they'll have to take
both the "Seattle games for a tie.
If they win they'll still have to
take them both to win the cham
pionship.
O
Can the Fighting Fishermen
be slipping from their top perch
in high school basketball? Last
week was disastrous for the
Finns as Corral lis and Salem
both beat them on their home
floor. Wednesday night St. Hel
ens beat them 35 to 30. It
wasnt just another loss,
though. It was the first game of
a three-game series that will
decide who is to represent Dis
trict 5 in the state tournament.
Only once has Astoria failed to
win that honor in 16 years but
St. Helens' win in the first of
the series games gives it a tre
mendous advantage. The other
two games will be played next
week. Incidentally Coach Jerry
Lille's Saints have won 21 out
of 22 games, their one loss be
ing to Astoria in a previous
tilt. St. Helens once- before,
years ago, beat out Astoria for
.the tourney privilege.

er teams expected to enter are
Corvallis, Sandy. Hill Military,
Franklin high of Portland, Mil
