No, brawn and hairy chests haven't figured 'in tills winter's major sports attraction. . That -which has drawn 'em in at the - turnstiles has been a little femi nine bundle of -Norwegian- ice prima donna, Son ja Henie. The glittering young lady out" of Hollywood has skated on the rink of golden gate receipts which the public has laid down for her through Chicago, De troit, Cleveland and New York. La Henie did $209,000 at the Chicago stadium, 9137,000 in Detroit, S 108,000 at Cleveland and grossed $135,000 in Madi son Square Garden. With the million dollar Hollywood con tract she has for her nert 10 pictures, Miss Henie's earning capacity is expected to exceed the $450,000 mark this year. Sleeping Beauty, On her tour the Norwegian fwinkletoes exercises as strict a training routine as do the high- est tuned tracksters. Her extra- ordinary feat of skating seven times, 35 minutes in all, Is stren uous and demands plenty of rest.

The greatest share of . her waking time, out side of that which she spends on the ice, is taken up by her 'mas seur and hairdresser. Now that she is Hollywood's Hollywood has to present her in the Hollywood manner. Gale Going Strong. Laddie Gale, the high-scoring Webfoot who bids fair to break Wally Palmberg's 103O northern division scoring rec - ord, certainly isn't as bashful . about throwing in the backets us he was before the "mike" at the 1035 state high school tournament here,, whe. he was " awarded the outstanding player trophy.. Remember? Gale backed ' away from . it like it was ' m long-eared donkey' out on an Oakridge farm, and said 'I'm a little scared of that thing." Gale's 25 points in the second Montana game brought his aggregate total for the sea son to 134-with the 20-game schedule just, half played. To break Palmberg's 16-game rec ord of 187, Gale needs to aver age bnt nine points In the fol lowing six tilts two of which re against. Washington in Eu gene, and the other four against . WSC and Idaho on the Inland Empire trek. To break It over the foil 20-game route, he needs but 5.4 points per game. for the 10 remaining. McCarthy Says Gordon.

J tt,, t ,- zeri to the Cubs, McCarthy chose to withhold official announcement that Joe Gordon; late of the Bears, is the new incumbent at the mid- IT-.- . I way." The story goes on to say that when Joe reports to the v.-v- . 1 -Jl - -l . -f'-" j .

PAGE TWELVE ilorvallis High Here Saturday Rooks Also Come, Oppose Financiers; B Teams of Schools Meet It'll be basketball heaven for ardent hoop sport fans tomorrow night on the high school court I where three tussles will enfold in rapid succession. Highlight games of the evening s trl-bar- reled barrage of hardboard spec tacles will be the 7:30 "No- Name" tilt between Coach Hank's fast-improving Vikings and the undefeated Corvallis Spartans. Preliminary to the main at traction, Garnie Cranor's rapid- fire Bees will square off against the Spartan reserves, and the nightcap tilt will bring the Ore gon State Rooks and Salem s General Finance quint" together In a return go. Licked by Coach Hub Tuttle's gang in Corvallis 28-17 when 'Handy-man" ' Hand went on a 19-point hemn-swishlng binge, the Vikings will be on the short end of odds tomorrow night. Should the Haukmen, who have been defensively potent all sea son, flick the nets as they have done in some of their tilts, they- re apt to give the Spartans their first circuit setback. Leaders in State Despite the loss of Gene Reish, Elmo Crockett and Bob Hollings worth, all three via the ninth- term eligibility rule (page Port land), the Spartans appear to be one of the strongest aggrega tions in the state this year. Since losing the foregoing trio, they have turned in wins over both University high and St. Mary's of Eugene. Coach Hank has been instilling into his bunch of youngsters the necessity of coupling deceptive- ness with the aggressiveness they mastered earlier in the season, consequently they have been fak ing and feinting their way into the bucket for "lay In" points that seldom came their way at season s outset. Several of his courtsters had to he taught the necessity of let ting fire at those elevated rings too, before the points could pos- I sibly accumulate on the Salem side of the scoring ledgers. As a result of Hauk's drilling. "Ducky" j Quackenbush and Dick Parker, both of whom have natural eyes for the rings but who needed a little prodding before they, be came castoff-conscious, have' be- I come decided aids to "Weezy" Maynard in scoring. Gosser, who is far from any beanpole pivoter, has more spring In his legs than gazelle, and does an excellent job on the backboards. The fifth member of Hauk's starting five, Kitchen, is the natural "feeder" of the team, and also does a nice defensive job. The Orange Rooks handed the local Financiers a 37-31 setback in Corvallis last Saturday night. but Manager Ken Potts doesn't believe they can repeat. Led by Stork" Averill and "Squee' Kitchen, ex-Oregon Normal flash es, and George Scales, ex-Willam ette pointster, the Financiers pre sent a formidable array of "old timers who. when hot, are hard to stop. Their game is scheduled for 8:30.
