Now the rallbirda know why
Astoria isn't a participant in the
19th annual OSHSAA tournament,
In this, year, 1S38. The way the
Saints from St. .Helens took over
the Pearpicking situation (Med
ford) last night was a most de
cided eye-opener of the why and
wherefore the Fishermen were
beaten out for the right to-trek
Sal Yard. Behind the all-around
court ability of Bob Daggett, a
chnnky little firebrand guard,
the Saints showed not the' mercy
of their namesakes in overhauling
the state pear center's team that
looked so impresslTe in its first
tourney start.
Walt Wagering?
TJs rumored that Walt Cline
1 was making; a one-man stand
without the main entrance of
the court last night, offering -to
take Medford and give 10
points on the Pearpickers for
qnite a bit more than the price
of a hamburger. Didn't hear
whether there were any takers
or not.; but if so, Walt was the
one Who really got "took."
Sail right, Walt, there were
- plenty other gays willing; to
wager a wee token on the Med
fords, too..
Perry Loses Prophesy.
With the ' Cracking open of the
Pearpickers, lArt Perry, who has
been up until now) a much in
terested tourney spectator, lost all
interest. Perry put most of his
shekels on Chiloquin. long be
fore the tourney commenced. If
our recollection is correct, lie
called the district 14 champs to
walk off with the tiara. With the
Indians bowing out, gracefully,
to Amity yesterday, and Medford
folding up entirely. Perry is not
perilously on the brink he's In
the brine.
Future Bright.
Bright prospects are in store
for Bert -year's Medford s, how
ever, and Coach Bill Bower
man, and Perry, and all
shouldn't feel too downhearted.
Four of Bowennaa's starting
quint, Crosby, Stead, Newland
and Miller, are bat sophomores
and have two more rears. They
were all . members, so Bower
nun tells ns, of last year's jun
ior high team that ran up an
Impressive string of 20 straight
win. Playing with them on
that team was six-foot, three
inch, near 2QO-pounder, who
. in i . a . a . , a .
win enter mcuioru nigu nru
fall. The five of them will be
together again, and Medfordites
are holding high hopes for the
10.18-38 campaign..
Frantzs Prescription
Wanted.
Beckon . Salem's Coach Harold
Hauk would like to know what
kind of a 'tournament injection"
Saints Coach Eddie Frantz uses.
During the regular season Hauk's
Vikings eked out a one-point win
over the Saints in the latter's own
bailiwick, and romped all over
them. 35-18, in the Viking casaba
court. Now the Saints are in the
semi-finals, and even money will
get you. or any of your family,
plenty of coverage that they will
walk oft with the pennant, cup,
gonfalon, trophy, championship
you name it, we're slaphappy from
scoring basketball games. Salem,
lest you havenl been informed,
is on the sidelines looking on.
They "Move It."
Why such-. a bunch of
smoothies as the Baker brigade
- boasts should be nickmonick
ered "Bulldogs Is beyond our
ken. Bulldogs, according to all
pedigreed teachers of the sub
ject, are supposed to be tenacious,-
Mholders-on,M .and seen.
The only thing those high
country slickers hold onto very
long is the lead of a basketball
game. Tbey couldn't more that
. pill around any faster If It was
a bate of hay, they were all
equipped with . pitchforks, and
tweuty thousand bign-country
mules were braying to be fed.
Eight for Eight.
In the first quarter of the
Baker-Sandy game, the Baken
took bat eight shots. Yea, we know
that there isn't anything startling
about that. But, he fact that they
connected with every gosh dern
one of "em, and also tanked the
only sifter awarded them in that
period. Is something to put per
manently in the books. Those
shots weren't of the "set-up' ra
rlety, either. This Waymon Col
son, Bulldog .guard, stood outside
the Sandy defense and swished
five without missing a short be
fore, behind or in amidst 'em.
His record for the game was S

'Sudden Death'
Test Required
It's Second Such Victory
for Northeast Entry;
Sub Duggan Hero
Mac High's Pioneers, every
bit as cool-headed as their fore
fathers whose name they bear,
stemmed the Golden Tide of Uni
versity High of Eugene yester
day afternoon by a 34-32 score
in their favorite method of
winning tournament basketball
games, via the "sudden death"
overtime period.
" Fighting up from behind, in
almost an exact replica ot the
manner employed against Salem
in their first tourney game, the
Pioneers knotted the score at
32-all in the final seconl of play.
It was Substitute Duggan, in
for Yantis the youngster who
beat out Salem with his one-bander
in the overtime, who pocket
ed the tying bucket.
Caldwell Wins It
Glen Caldwell, on a perfect
break-away into the basket, and
on a cleverly executed play,
pounded home the winning two
points after better than two
minutes of the allowed three
minute overtime had ticked by.
In that two minutes, Gard
the high-scoring U. Hi forward,
missed from in front of the key
hole, Overturf and Fox of the
Pioneers each missed after the
Mac Hi team had cooly set up
the ball and worked it around
for fully a minute and a half,
and Fox Committed his fourth
and disqualifying foul on Gard.
Gard's deliberate miss of the
free toss and his 11th miss in
16 tries from the charity mark,
was recognized as such by the
officials and the ball given to
Mac Hi out of bounds.
Again those Iceberg Pioneers
took the ball down into their
own front court, to there et it
up, pass it around and await
an opening. Soon it came, with
little Caldwell breaking away on
a block from Just in front ot
the keyhole to take a pass and
hoist the leather true to the
net.
It was Dick Overturf, the
pioneer sharpshooter, who pro
vided the impetus that propelled
his team up from behind to catch
and overtake the Golden Tide. He
tallied IS - points in all, on 7
field goals and two tosses, to
bring his tourney mark to 27.
After spotting the Golden Tide
a six-point advantage in the ini
tial period, Eiffert, Overturf and
Caldwell combined to give the
Pioneers an 18-17 le d at half
time.
With Overturf finding the
range with the opening of the
third period, the advantage was
stretched to 20-17, but was nul
lified as Bullion and Gard went
to work in dead earnest to give
the Tide a 24-22 lead at the
period's close.
Cut Down Quickly
Witih five minutes of the final
period played the Tide still was
out in front, 28-26. vstreached it
to 30-26 on & bucket by Gard.
but saw it glimmer as Fox and
Overturf each scored from the
floor to knot the count at 30-alL
Again Gard, who despite
missing 11 free tosses scored
17 points to run his tourney total
to an even 40 for the two games,
came through with a running
one-hander to push the Tide two
points to the fore. With seconds
only remaining, it looked like
the Tide had come In. Dnggan
spoiled that picture, however,
with his previously described
tielng bucket.
The win puts Mac Hi Into the
quarter finals against the state
"B" champions. Amity, at 7:3ft

Eugene Takes
Overtime Win
Whitey Austin Is Hero of
Tight Game as" Myrtle
Point Threatens
It took the Eugene Axemen
a long time to get their axes suf
ficiently whetted to make any
impression on a fired-up Myrtle
Point crew in yesterday's 2
o'clock consolation game, but
when they did they cleaved out
a breathtaking 41-40 "sudden
death" overtime win.
For the better part of three
quarters it .looked like the Myr
tle Pointers were doing all the
axe-wielding holding a 14-7
first-quarter, a 28-16 half time
and a 36-27 third-quarter lead,
but Eugene's substitutes started
plowing the hemp to catch them
at 36 with but two minutes left
to play.
In the ensuing two minutes
Eugene had ample opportunity to
put the game in the bag. Robert
son missed two free throw at
tempts on Ray Cook's Infraction,
and Kilborn did likewise on Bil
lings' disqualifying foul. Sub
stitute Nichols did give the Axe
men a slight edge when he tank
ed his charity flip on Roy Cook's
foul, but it was worn smooth
again when Bo wders" slipped in
a free throw on Robertson's
fourth infraction.
Austin Makes 'em
"Whitey" Austin, hard-working,
clever little Axeman who had
been having the toughest kind of
luck with his open floor firing
all through the fray, not only
hooped the 36-36 tying bucket,
but also flipped in the long' two
hander that won the contest in
the overtime session.
Ray Cook, Myrtle Creek guard
who with Bowker, ,wer? the big
guns of the attack that saw their
team run to the 12-point first
half advantage, drew first blood
in the overtime by converting
on Will's infraction.
Eurene took the ball out fol
lowing Cook's toss, and boomed
down the floor with Arstin heav
ing in the necessary two points
from about 30 feet out.
Austin of Eugene and Ray
Cook of the Pointers tied for
scoring honors with IS tallies
each.
Bowker, Myrtle Point forward,
hit five baskets in that many at
tempts in the first half, and
missed but twice in the game. His
.714 average is not quite as good
as Stead's, of Medford.; who
gathered 7 in 9 for a .777 aver
age against Eugene.

Thurston, the "Pansy" polnt

game. It was a sloppy, slaphaPpy
tilt, iq keeping with the earliness
of the hour.
Howard Fox, the front court

Foxes to victory. Brother Kenny,
he of the high hard ones, gath

Delano Fox, the "Tiny Tim" ot
the tourney, got into the fray, in
its dying moments and had one
opportunity from the gift line af
ter some big bruiser ran over the
top of him principally because
there wasn't enough of him to
see.
Adams, like Salem, bowed out
ot the tourney, and Thurston gets
the consolation semi-final call
against Woodburn.

Woodburn Five
Wins Overtime
Salem Goes out in Same
Fashion it Lost to
McLoughlin High
If battleships were selling at
five cents per fleet, and Salem
high school had to depend on one
basket in a basketball overtime
to get a lone nickel, the local prep
institution wouldn't be able te buy
the echo of one ship s whistle.
For the second successive day.
the Vikings were mowed down by
those seemingly inevitable over
time two points. Charlie Shaw.
Woodburn's WVI league record
holding polntster, plummeted the
wo tallies, that knocked the Vik
ings clear out of the 19th annuat
tourney, through the hoop in al
most the identical manner in
which -First-And-Lasf Yantis. ot
Mac Hi. did in Salem's first tour
ney clash. Final score was 36-34.
This time however, it was the
Salem team a team that went
down only after expending every
last inch of intestinal fortitude
that it could muster that
stormed up from behind to do the
overtaking.
Up From Behind
Just as Mac Hi did to them
Wednesday, the Vikings caught
the Bulldogs with but a half-minute
left in the regular playing
time. Jack Gosser, old rubber legs
himself, was the Viking who
sloshed home the tying tallies
with a one-hander while driving
through the keyhole.
While Woodburn's tall Evenden
easily controlled the tip that start
ed the "sudden death" overtime.
the Vikings fought the ball right
out of the hands of the Bulldogs
and two Vikings, Gosser and Se-'
bern, each took a hurried crack at
the payoff loop before relinquish
ing possession.
Weezy" Maynard, Salem for
ward, fouled Woodburn's Surmey
er as the latter was attempting to
get off a shot. Surmeyer missed
on the first, and the Bulldogs
called time out. It was evidently
decided, in the huddle, to deliber
ately miss the second attempt
with the possibility in mind of
towering Evenden being able to
slap the rebound through for the
necessary two points needed for
the win.
Coach Hauk rushed in Smither,
his tallest courtster, to aid In pre
venting such a play, which he did
in fine shape.
Again the Vikings fought the
pill away from the Bulldogs,
stormed down the floor with It,
and again missed on two chances
at the bucket. Both Maynard and
Gosser rimmed the hoop with has
tily flung shots, but to no avail.
Whitman Gets Assist
Dick Whitman, Woodburn's
cool-and-collected captain, poun
ced on the ball, broke to the side
lines and whipped to Shaw who
was booming down the middle.
Shaw, who tied with Maynard for
high point honors at 13. drove
high in the air and whistled
through the winning basket.
The Bulldogs led almost the en
tire game. A basket by Scottie Se
bern, who the fightingest Viking
of the fighting crew, knotted the
count for Salem with five minutes
of the second quarter played the
only time the Vikings caught up
with the Bulldogs until that last
30 seconds.
Woodburn was out in front ten
points. 30-20, at the beginning of
the final period, and It was
through pore determination, grit,
guts, and fight that the Vikings
were able to catch them at all.
As a result of the game, played
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
Woodburn goes into the semi-finals
of the fifth place series

this morning,
at 10 o'clock
