It was the hard fighting little Mill
City team, the quint that last year
almost stopped Astoria in the first
round, that held Benson to a 27

fought games of the tourney.
' With the Ghosts fighting as if
their lives depended on the out

luck Portland champs bad to fight
'uphill to gain a 13 to 11 halftime

The hard luck Benson team got
a real stare in the third period as
the Ghosts, with Catherwood and
Seim bearing the brunt of the
'scoring swept. ahead to a 20 to 16
lead at the end of the period.
In a hair-raising final period
the lead switched back and forth

field goal in the closing minutes

of avenging a defeat suffered at
the hands of the Sacramento J. C.
oarsmen at last year's regatta.
The winning shell finished four
lengths ahead of the varsity re

ed the California subs by eight
lengths and finished two lengths

-WW,
Little Bellfountaln dldnt
beat Corvallis but it gave the
Spartans Just about as good a
game as they'll have in this
man's state tournament. 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.

from their own bailiwick on even

'From the second period on, dis

Just as much as Corvallis did and
the game was . a battle of two

keeping the ball. Corvallis had to

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

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.

Sarpola Ties Record Set
by Howell, 27 Points;
Finn's Wia 60-26
When ..the Astoria : Fishermen
rang up points ' to Myrtle
Creek's 2 C In the first: afternoon
game of the state basketball tour
nament' Friday, and Ted Sarpola
of Astoria, scored 27 points per
sonally, the dopesters figured a
couple of all-time tournament re
cords had been set, but after hus
tling to the record books and old
newspaper tiles they .found out
they were wrong In both cases.
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. There was only a brief
period in the second half when he
took a few unwarranted shots
seeking to boost his total.
