The giant killers from Benton coun ty met a giant from their own county that they couldn't kill but they came pretty close to it. If it hadn't been for that un canny first quarter in which Corvallis bit the hoop plop-plop-plop before Bellfountaln could get going for a 10 to O count there 'd be no telling who'd have won that game. The Bellfountaln clans were there In force and for the first time Corvallis was not the favor ite in the rooting. To the Corval lis fans goes the pal . for the cleverest bit of bleacher strategy. When Corvallis began to stall in the closing minutes of the game those fans partisan for Bellfoun taln began to boo. Immediately the Corvallis fans began to clap and cheer, drowning out the boos. Bellfountaln won't get a crack at the A title but it still has its B cup and many of the Bellfountaln folks strayed into Les Sparks' of fice last night to give it the dou-ble-O. Keith Jones says thew coach es don't know what worry Is. With Krone Williams, Dwight Aden and Mike Balkovic, Keith has to play wmrsemaid to the teams in action and the ones coming up. AH a coach has to worry about' is one team, says Keith, but he and his pals have to check up on the whole mob. Gus Hixson. former Statesman circulation manager, was among those present and rooting last night . . . Little Audrey Gary (no relation to the Little Audrey stories), small daughter of the beaming John L., is an ardent fan . . . The crowd roared when the P. A. system carried the an nouncement that Ed Piasecki should come home right after the games . . . Milton - Freewater (Mac-Hi to you) has few home town fans rooting here but Sup erintendent Silas GaUer of the Salem schools makes up for a lot. He used to do the superlng Job at Milton-Freewater. O Speaking of Mao-Hi the Pio neers have the trickiest play of the tournament, one that looks more like a football play than a basketball trick. The press boys have dabbed it the Statue of Liberty play for its similarity to the old reliable gridiron play. It fools 'em good and has got Mac-HI plenty points. Rln ker, the little guard. Is an adept at working It. Just as a matter . of expressing our opinion we believe Ffsk of Mac-HI Is Jast about aa sweet a floorworker as you'd want. He's afso the prince of tbe dead-eyes when it comes to laying them in from the gift line. Benson should get some kind of a trophy for twice coming to the tournament a favorite and twice being eliminated from championship play in Xhe first round. It is a funny thing but the Portland league runner up al ways looks better In the tourna ment than the champions. Inci dentally Franklin is working un der the handicap of having two of its regulars out. Murch has a sprained or broken ankle and Me Keown, regular center, is laid up with ap Infection. As far as is known now there is no rule that the all-state team most be made np entirely of seniors. Last year the coach es talked that over and most of them heartily endorsed such a plan. The line of argument was that many . Juniors and sopho mores were rained by big heads after winning, all state honors early In their high school ca reers. Most of the coaches would gladly see the all-state gag-done away with entirely. Don't forget that the Willam ette W club is sponsoring a big fistic event in which there are enough battles of the century to last tor at least 300 years. The classic takes place at the armory at 2:30 this afternoon, there be ing no afternoon games . today. John Oravee and Dick Welsgerber are starred in a battle royal at traction that should see several knockouts. Zoo Denizens Are Victims of Flood MANCHESTER, N. H.. March 20.-(jP-Two leopards and a bear, marooned by floodwaters for more than 30- hours, were shot and killed, here late today. Police re fused to allow anyone to attempt their rescue. The three animals were surviv ors of the Second street zoo where many animals drowned in" the ris ing Merrimack river yesterday. OKEOXTA, N. T.t March 20. CTVA recalcitrant bear, that had led keepers a merry chase through the muddy grounds at the city zoo followed the strains of a harmon ica right into his cage today. Parks, Chairman Roger Coyle said zoo employes-"had about giv en up" when an "unidentified worker drew a harmonica from his pocket and started to play a lively tune. Bruin dropped , from a nearby tree and followed the harmonica player down to his cage, where he was promptly clapped inside.

But once under way Bell- fountain played with the boys from their own bailiwick on even ground, never giving an inch but unable to gain. ( 'From the second period on, dis counting those fatal 10 points, ft was neck and neck. Bellfountaln knew what to do with that ba)I Just as much as Corvallis did and the game was . a battle of two passing teams that were intent on keeping the ball. Corvallis had to fight for every point it got, even though Warren, towering over Bellfountain's Kessler, enabled the Spartans to get nearly every tlpoff. ; , Buckingham Gets . Basket Eye at Last ' , " t It was tiny, red-thatched Stan Buckingham, who was hot for Bellfountaln. The boy who was Bellfountain's scoring ace all season was unable to uncork the pay shots until last night when he rang up five field goals to tie with Kruger for scoring honors. Kruger, Corvallis' flashy guard, did again what he did the night before. After a not exceptional first half showing Kruger came back in the second to pot three field goals and two free throws. That was almost the margin by which the Spartans warded off the giant-killers. Pflugrad, Corvallis forward, was the spark plug of the Spar tans. It was his clever passes that helped account for many of the Corvallis goals. Franklin could thank Tommy Hansen and the 16 ponits he col lected for its victory over the sur prising Mac-H team, the quint that showed the greatest improve ment in the tournament of any team.' It was Hansen's two quick field goals that started Franklin off after Mac-HI had gained a 6-to-0 lead and it was Hansen that gave the Quakers the lead after a halftime count of K-all and helped them keep it. Franklin Behind Most of First Hall The first half was a thriller all the way as Franklin battled uphill to even the count The smooth working Quakers, with Hansen and Williams leading the way, batted away at that six point lead until they tied it at 11 to 11 early in the second per iod. Then it was neck and neck as Rlnker, Monahan and Fisk kept Mac-Hi on even terms. The score was tied at 15 to 15 shortly before the end of the period and Hansen and Fisk both dropped In free throws to make it 16-16 at half time.

Fisk loomed as tbe star of the Mac-Hi aggregation.

Away back in 1922, Eugene high scored 65 points agains Jos eph; and in 1931, Wardlow How ell of Ashland scored 27 points against The Dalles, so Sarpola merely becomes co-holder of that record. Nevertheless the Fishermen's achievement was impressive. Coach Enrigh's boys, smarting un der their elimination from champ- ionship hopes the previous 4ay by Corvallis, went to work in busi nesslike fashion and rolled up statistics without a letup. They scored 21 points to Myrtle Creek's 6 in the first quarter and made it 36 to 10 at halftime. Sarpola Is Hot After Astoria had boosted its lead to 54-16, the' southern Ore gon B champions came to life and scored 10 points while holding the Fishermen scoreless. Astoria ral lied again at the close. Sarpola s lefthanded hook shots were connecting from all angles and he Jlayed a neat floor game as well.
