big race for the state champion
ship it is the-A games that are
the bis factors m deciding mat.
A lot will, be decided the first
day. ; : - - ' r-.:''
From the first A game at 3
o'clock1 between Franklin and
Milwankie toi the last at 9:30
between Lincoln and North Bend
anything can happen.
Three Good Teams to
Go Oat First Day
There are Eugene and Astoria
pitted against each otter in the(
4 o'clock contest. Eugene, with
a team that has at times looked
like a veritable champions, has
been often named as the team
to beat. Astoria, a fixture at
state tournaments, has another
dashlnr team this year that is
the choice of the Columbia river
fans for .the championship. The
Eugene-Astoria, game will be the
highlight of the first day's pro
gram. - "-
Singularly, drawings for tourn
ament positions brought together
in three consecutive games teams
from neighboring districts. Klam
ath Falla and ; Ashland meet in
the 5 o'clock game, McLoughlln
of Milton-Freewater and . La-
Grande in the 7:30 contest and
Salem and McMinnville in the
8:30 game.
Three Close Games
la -Succession likely
. In those -three games, follow
ing closely on one another, the
opposing teams are of about equal
strength. Klamath Falls and Ash
land have both played consistent
winning basketball throughout
the season. McLoughlln has been
the class of north central Ore
gon while LaGrande has a team
said to be one of the best eastern
Oregon quints ever to make the
tourney journey.
Salem and McMinnville split
a pair of games in their regular
season, Salem won 25 to 23 at
McMinnville and McMinnville
won 32 to 29 at Salem.- .
Lincoln of Portland and North
Bend will wind up the first day's
program at 9:30. Lincoln finished
second in the Portland inter
scholastic league, thus winning a
position as' Portland's second
tourney entry that has been lucky
for Portland teams in the past.
Portland's second entries have
usually gone farther in the tourna
ment than the number one teanu
Teams will begin arriving here
Tuesday and will be housed at

3CC3 Tuberculin
Tests Given Here
Health Department Aided
By Tuberculosis Seal
Funds in Project
Nearly 1000 tuberculin tests
have been given In schools of Sa
lem and Marlon county since Jan
uary 1, which total is already
greater than the entire work ac
complished during 1936, accord
ing to fignres released yeserday.
The testing program Is carried
on by the Marion county depart
ment of health and made possible
from use of funds given the de
partment for this specific purpose
from the annual tuberculosis seal
sale, which is sponsored by the
Marion county public health as
sociation. r " '
The fignres show that 1671
boys and girls were given the
tests In Salem schools and 1314
In county schools outside Salem,
with the Salem children showing
a 7.2 per cent positive reaction
and the county children showing
9.4 percent positive.
- Figurea Are Given
In event of positive 1 tests, the
health department follows up not
only the school child's case, but
studies the contacts. If any, fn
the child's home. Persons In the
home are urged- and for the most
part are anxious to come to the
health department for tuberculosis
tests. On basis of the 298 S tests
made, follow-ups will be carried
to 232 families. - '
A break-down of the tubercul
osis tests given school children
so. tar this year shows positive
reactions to tuberculosis more
prevalent In the county grade
schools than In the Salem grade
schools, the respective percent
ages being 9 and 2.9 per cent.
Positive tests resulted In 10.0
per cent of the work done In the
Salem Junior high schools; and
the same figure prevailed in the
senior high school In Salem.
High School Higher
In the Salem senior high school.
Iff boys showed 11.5 per cent pos
itive, considerably higher than
the 9 per eent positive showed by
222 girls' tests. The Junior high
compilation Is even higher for the
boys. 12.7 per eent of 243 boys
showing positive, - as against 9

Safety in Tires
Stressed, Zosel
- Increasing used car sales em
phasize, the need for safety In tire
equipment to prevent .a corres
ponding rise In fatalities yester
day warned Walter Zosel, mana
ger of the Goodrich Silvertown
stores at 198 South Commercial
street.
"Don't put the question of high
way safety entirely in the hands
of police authorities," he warned.
"It is your life that Is at stake
when your ear Is Improperly
equipped, or when your tires blow
out. -
"Blowouts are 'unnecessary" In
the majority of cases. In the case
of The B. F. Goodrich company,
years of research have been ex
pended to make a safe tire to re
duce the danger of blowouts.
"Because it has been found that
heat developed in weak casings is
one of the principal causes of
blowouts, the Goodrich company
has developed and patented the
Goodrich Silrerton tire 'with the
Life-Saver golden ply. It Is the
Goodrich company's contribution
to the campaign to 'Help Save
Lives'.
