The tempo of the match was sounded at the Tery opening when the yillainous Lipscomb socked Hagen before the latter had taken off his robe. From then on the fireworks came in rapid fire order as each tried all the ways of com mitting mayhem at his command. Lipscomb took the first fall with a leg twist after a riotous session full of punches, slams and several unsuccessful headlock at tempts by Hagen, the cruncher specialist. Hagen bad more luck with his headlock in the second canto and applied it on the third trial for the fall, leaving Lipscomb grog gy and reeling fror the tremen dous pressure applied to bis head.

March 31 Jpy"Tln7" Cooper of Salem and Frank Riggi of Brooks, Ore., came out of their six-round fight here tonight considerably the worse for wear, with Cooper on the right end of the decision. The two were paired in the seml-wlndup to the Al Splna Frank Castillo 10-rounder which went to Spina by a technical knockout. Cooper, weighing in at 184. and Rijrgi, 189. sparred harmlessly in the first two frames. In the third. Cooper put hia oponent on the floor for S and Riggi came right back with a similar haymaker which had Cooper on the canvas In the next frame. Cooper didn't atay down long, however, and came back to Jolt Riggi with rights and lefts and finally pounded him for two 9 counts before the fourth was end ed. The fifth and sixth were slug fests de luxe. Both boys were bleeding profusely at the final bell. PORTLAND.

HERALDED already as a sec ond Man O' War in the mak ing, and dominating the Kentucky Derby future book as no horse has since Reigh Count, Joe Wideners handsome Brevity is the most talked about colt of the mo ment. Brevity, a trim speedster, covers plenty or ground in the briefest pos sible time. His record is also rather brief, having started but three times last year, winning two of these en gagements rather impressively. However, His sensational triumph in the Florida Derby this spring, in which he equalled Discovery's P-AWL. MAUS&fT. it's oeen over a week since Corvallis won the Mate high acbool basketball championship ami basketball season is about over bat there's Mill time for a little more comment on thing quintlcaL (We coined that one). What started oar train of thought going at ex press speed was a theory of fered by Ralph Cart Is and quoted herein daring the tour nament that the reason why eastern Oregon basketball teams never look so hot Is that the boy never or raroly see good basketball plit)ed. O If that is true, and we see no reason why it shouldn't be, then the reverse must be true. Other things being equal a high school basketball team that has unusual opportunities for seeing good bas ketball should be tops. So there you have Corvallis high's smooth team, right out of the home town of the Oregon State Beavers, champions and near - champions for two years. Doubtless every one of the Corvallis hoopsters has seen nearly every game "Slats" Gills team played at home. They saw plenty of good basketball and it is natural that they should imitate it. O The Corvallis team worked like a college team. It liandled the ball like a college team. It Is reasonable to believe that the good play which baa fea St ... I Ml,.- Every possible form of relief and 0 above, woere uw utuo river .mm! hlrht f iS ffwt. VZ$ SmtsSs! - vH'",?9fe' world's record for one and one eighth miles, has made the little bay Widener homebred the horse of the hour. It was this scintillating per formance that really started the turf world raving about Brevity, and sliced the. Derby future book odds on him down from 7 to 1 to 3tol. The enthusiasts who are already comparing the Widener "picture horse" to the immortal Man 0 War are, of course, quite premature when they mention Brevity in the same breath with that peerless horse of the turf. True, the Widener three-year-old carried the heavy im tured Oregon State teams dur ing the last few years was re flected in the Corvallis high team. The kMs on "Mush" Torwon's team have probably watched the Beavers play and practice since they were six years old and then gone home in their back yards and with peach baskets and tire rims for hoops, tried to do what the college boys did with a basket ball. O There's nothing new in that idea. Imitation has been a fac tor in education ever since the Neanderthal man taught his lantern-Jawed progeny how to throw a bludgeon at a saber tooth tiger. Most coaches of high school in college towns will agree that they have bet ter teams during the periods that the college has good teams and when the college athletics fall off the high school suf fers also. In other words, the better the example the better the product. Tou can't learn to do an act that requires skill with any de gree of competency by reading a book. You've got to see the real McCoy and learn by imitating and by doing. Good tennis play ers come from regions that have produced good tennis players be fore. Most people will agree that the best college basketball and the best Independent basketball in the world is played in the midwest It is in the midwest that high school games are good enough to attract crowds that are numbered In the thousands, not Relief Forces Rush to Aid of o 0 emergency aid was mobilized to took a fearful toll of DroDertr da - post of 120 pounds in the Florida Derby, only 8 leas than Discovery ran under when the Vanderbilt four-year-old king set the mark that Brevity equalled. That this victory was a brilliant one cannot be disputed, but Brevity has a long way to go before any Man O' War comparisons are in or der. If he wins the Kentucky clas sic, however, it will be proof that the hoofbeats of another turf mar vel are thundering over the track world. Such a triumph, inciden tally, would be Widener 's first Derby victory. Cwjtum. uti, aiat rmn Mum. Im.

Here comes up the old question of the chicken and the egg. Is midwest high school bas ketball good because the college ball is good or Is the college ball good because it Is supplied with the best material In the world from the high schools? After the process gets started it works both ways. Good college ball pro duces good high school ball play ers who aid in maintaining and improving a high standard of col lego basketball.

SOLO IN EVIIT COKVENTSNT SIZ8 CUSS CONTAIN El liMeMMiitL& Liter eeesMiAM aaswtaits Although occasional flurries of snow or hall and icy winds do not point overly favorable .weath er, anglers who ! like to get the first try at their favorite holes and streams are getting ready for the opening of the trout fishing season Sunday. With wardens and state police men on the lookout for game law offenders, anglers would do well to refamiliarixe -themselves with the Oregon fishing laws. These are conveniently found in the official synopsis of Oregon fishing laws which can be had free of charge at sporting goods stores. Most Important of the changes In the game code Is the reduction of the bag limit for a single day from 30 fish in one day to 20 fish in one day.

The limit for a week's catch is now 30 pounds and one fish, not to exceed 40 fish, in any sev en consecutive days. The bag limit for McKenzie river fishUng has been reduced proportionately and now is 10 pounds and one fish, not to exceed 15 fish in any one day, or 20 pounds and one fish bat not to exceed 30 fish in any consecutive days. All Need Licenses All anglers over the age of 14 must have a license to fish. Al though this rule has been in effect for several years it is still not gen erall understood that women must have licenses as well as men. The following streams and lakes are closed to angling: Mar lon county All inlets to Elk lake, all tributaries to Silver. Abiqua and Butte creeks. Bares lake. Crown lake, Claggett lake, Leone creek from its source to a point 100 feet into Leone lake, all trib utaries to the Little North Fork of the Santiam river above and Including Cedar creek, all tribu taries to the North Fork and South Fork of the Breitenbush ' river from a point approximately four miles from Breitenbush springs.
