Br RON GEilMELL, While things and Muff moved along smoothly here la Ore gon's lMh annual state prep toarney yesterday, the roof of the University ef Washington's pavilion eared in on -the north m neighbor's annual meet. Only casualty : reported was that a newspaper man got hurt. what most of us flip ont, the mkii sltv a hm i nrohablr that we .all don't fade out of the picture. Mechanically Scoreless. Two precision machines. Baker and St, Helens, dern near let ; the intricacies of their machinery keep them so busy that they-Jor-got to score. A first-quarter score of 3-1. and a half-time recording ot 6-5. --My. my- how the Ore gonian'S Gregory would love to hare scored that one. Let's see was it or wasn't It? Yes -it must have been played under the center-jump elimination rules, for all the rest of the tourney games hate been. And to think, of all lus iniuuje inttuuic nidi uas ii written against the rule because It made for high-scoring orgies to the detriment of sound bas ketball. Tosh! One Title, Anyhco.

For the chapipion nou-beefer coach of the toufney we nominate Orile Robbins, whose Amitys am bled Into the' finals by finally stifling the Mas Hi bid. When ever a foul is called against one of his kids, Robbins readily wags his head in assent despite mighty "boos" that may arise from the spectators. Lemons Aid. .

Hays he has never staggered under a Jag of it yet, nor does he feel that It has the slightest tendency toward making for sour decisions. Incidentally, riluso has the same idea about stopping some of this scream ing -about - "over officiating" that .we have. .Namely, to give the "screamers" the rule book, a whistle and as opportunity to see how they can interpret the rules as laid down by the rales committee. - "' - r Record Upcoming, One tourney record" will ' un donbtedly go by the boards, some where between 10:30 and 11:30 this morning. At the first-mentioned time University high takes the floor against Medford to bat tle for fourth-place position. Gard. Unt high's lanky forward, will in the ensuing 32 minutes probably gather himself a tournament rec ord. He'll take the floor with a total of 66 points scored, just two behind the 68 tallied by Sand ness of Astoria last year. When he tanked 26 yesterday against Chiloquin, Gard just missed a one game record by one more bucket. Sarpola, also of Astoria, holds that with 27 scored against Myr tle Creek in 1936. .; Baker s Record Best At the close of last night's games.

Mrs. Beaman's PancC3 almost pushed the sod out from under the Bulldogs, holding a 10-9 ad vantage, but Woodburn waltzed borne in the final minutes to eke out a 32-27 win. Coach Dwight French's tall quiut from Klamath Falls found plenty of opposition in the Kraineriuen of Eugene before bowing them out of the tourney by a 31-28 score. Los3 ol Paul Johnson, rugged forward who left the tilt soon after the second half got unaer way wuu a badly wrenched knee, hurt the Axemen cause considerably. It was a duel of pointsters. in the Wdodburn-Thurston issue, Forward Howard Fox of the Pan sies garnering 17 tallies, almost to match Shaw, Woodburn's net walloper who tanked 18, stride for stride. Kenny Fox, the big, russod guard of the Fox tribe, was off on his mid-floor high hard ones being able to bucket but a pair in many attempts. Had he been driving those through with his customary facility, the Pansies might have knocked the Bulldogs out of the meet. The Axemen of Eugene matched the Pelicans almost point for point throughout the early part of their -11 o'clock fray, but K. Falls emerged with a 19-15 balftime lead and were to the fore 26-19 at third-quarter's end. Bas kets by Stevenson and Austin in the last three minutes of the tilt gave Eugene backers in the large morning tournout hopes that their team would once more come from behind to do the seemingly impossible, but a floor-length break culminated in a lay-in by Musselman stayed the Eugene rally. Bellottl, Pelican forward, led the scoring with 12, big Jim Stevenson tankiug 11 for Eugene. Klam.

The Bulldogs have scored 97 points in three games, for a 32 1-3 points per game average, while holding opponents to a total of S9 19 2-3 per game. St. Hel ens was tied with Amity for second place in the statistics on scoring strength, each with an average of SI 2-S points per game, but St. Helens defen sive record was the better. The 8 1 nt i' opponents' averaged SS 1-3 points per tilt. 4 4 (c: ...--"C-:-:' - r Gard to Break Scoring Mark Only one Back of Record; University High Beats Chiloquin Easily Scoring 26 points Just one less than Sarpola'a . tourney re cord Leonard Gard led his Uni versity high mates to a 49-25 win over Chiloquin, gaining the right to meet Medford, which triumph ed over Sandy 35-28, at 10:30 this morning for fourth place. Card's performance, aided by teammates' "feeding" in the wan ing moments of the game when it became apparent he had an op portunity to break Sarpola's re cord, brought hls; total tourney points to 66; just two back of the four-game record of 68, set by Earl Sandness of Astoria last year. As he has one more tilt to go, Gurd is almost assured of es tablishing a new tourney record. Just before he was ejected from yesterday's game via the foul route, he hoisted a 25-footer bas ketward that, had It connected, would have given him the single game title. The- shot rimmed the hoop and came out. Unies too Good The Uni hi team boasted too much height and too many tal ented tossers for little Chiloquin. The Indians fought gamely throughout, but never had a chance. From the time Gurd opened the scoring with a one- hander from the side, the Golden Tide continued to roll up and over the Chlloquins. Rice, the strawberry-thatched Indian guard, turned in his usual fiery, ball-hawking game. In ad dition, he plopped four goals from the floor and three from Scotch alley for 11 points second only to Gard in the scoring column. Coach Ray Hendrlckson's Gold en Tiders of Eugene looked much more impressive against the Chil oquins than they did when Mac Hi edged them out in an overtime Thursday. The Tide led at the half 18-13 and at the third quarter 15-17.

Cast-off-and-Foul Duel Is Taken by Medford After Sandy Holds Pear Men Even First Half; Final Score 35-28 In a game that had plenty Medford yesterday afternoon walked over. Sandy by a 35 to 28 score thereby getting the nod to oppose University high of Eugene in the fourth-place bracket this morning at 10:30. It was one of the wildest with both teams booming theO- floor as if It were a catch-as- catch-can marathon, and casting I off from lust any old place or position In which the individuals happened to be. Medford, after allowing the haphazard Sandy shooters to knot the count at 11-11 at half-time, steadied down in the third Quar ter to lead at its culmination by a 21-14 margin. Three Pearpickers, Crosby, Mil ler and Stead, were ousted from the fray via the foul-oat route. Mauldlng Leads Sandy's Mauldlng. despite his wild whanging of the ball, hit three from the field and four from charity lane to lead all scor ers with. 10 points. He cast off 21 times. Wlthr both aggregations firing in the general direction of the playoff loops only, throughout the first canto, it was a desultory contest. When Medford steadied down in the second half, it also had a steadying effect on the Sandys and the ball game became more like a ball game. The Pearpickers" 21-14 third quarter lead, and 30-20 late fourth-quarter advantage, waned In the dying -minutes of the game as Rich, Allen and Mauldlng con nected for baskets while Barker was tallying a field goal and a gifter for Medford.

While many think it highly improbable, stout hopes are being held by valley fans. All will be known tonight. Both of the semi-final games last night were defensive battles. That which ultimately penetrated the Mac Hi defense was a brainy bullet named Wayne Giesy. and that which ultimately wrecked the well-calculated plans of Coach Eddie Franti and his St Helens Saints was a synchronized ma chine that never faltered even though checkmated nicely throughout the first half. Giesy Is Hero of Amity's Triumph Giesy, as clever a floor man as the 1938 tourney has presented, toed the gift line In one of those terrible "pressure spots" w i t h the score 24-23 against his team, 1 but 1H minutes to play and two' free tosses awarded him on Cald well's infraction. He delivered like the champion he is. To the thundering Dlanditu of the filled house. Giesv hoists both tosses true to the hemp to put his team in front and into the championship game. -While a minute more of play ensued in which Lee of the Amitrs scored a field goal on a breakaway into me Dasaet and Giesy once more converted a toss from the free throw mark the game was over, as far as the Pioneers were con cerned, when he lobbed both of those gifters through the loop. n was well into the second half of the Baker-St. Helens is sue before onlookers could even venture a guess as to which de fensive powerhouse would finally come out on top. At the end of the first auar- ter the score was 3-1 in favor of the Saints their defense ab solutely holding the surges and scoring sorties of the BuPdogs. raring mtle better, the Saints were able to penetrate for but one basket themselves. When the halftime gun fired it .was 6-5 for the Bulldogs, but with three field flings finding the "mark in the second quar ter. Ragsdale converted on Dag gett's infraction, and Sowers and Otto each hit for field goals for the Bakers, while Earl Hamilton tanked a two-painter for the Saints. Bulldog Machine Finally Functions Coming out for the second half, the finely tuned mechanism of the Bulldog's attack started functioning faster and faster, and the Saints were not able to meet the challenge. Waymon Colson. dark-thatched Bulldog guard who ' washeld scoreless in the first canto, was . the main cog of the precision machine la the last half drive. He darted in on three rapier like ihrusts to score thrice from the floor, and added two tosses from charity lane for an f-potnt Jotal and scoring honors. In the waning minutes of the tilt the Saints changed from their tone to a man-to-mah de fense. When that happened, the Bulldogs threw out the clutch and shifted into high. They sip, zip. zipped their way Into the basket from there on out. Daggett, the firebrand Saiat guard who led his team to its two previous tourney victories, was stymied at every turn last night and didn't collect a single tally. Much of the credit for that goes to Orville Ragsdale, blonde Bull dog guard who stuck to Daggett like fleas to Fido. Lineups and Bummary: Baker (26) .
