youth who ts Willamette's Jobn-
ny-of-all-trades, and who, inci
dentally, owes your correspondent
two bits on the outcome of the
state basketball business . .
"Jolting Johnny" is one of those
athletes who is not particular! v
brilliant at any one sport but who
Is plenty good enough to take
along in any ... He plays football
in the fall, basketball in the win
ter, both football and baseball in
the spring, and the only thing
that keeps him out of a few more
sports is a lack of seasons . .
If there were six seasons in the
school year instead of three, he'd
be a six-sport man.
Yep, Med ford Squawks.
Just knew good old Med ford
couldn't contain itself very long
after Salem won another state
hoop crown . . . Billy Hulen. who
scorches a column of space for the
Mail-Tribune, breaks out with the
same old cry that is is far from
any surprise when Salem wins the
championship because, (1) Salem
as automatic entrant has no pre
tournament worries, and, (2) Sa
lem is spotted in the B bracket,
where the competition isn't as
tough.
There la no denying that Sa
lem is an automatic entry,
something not likely to happen
again, bat once more it becomes
nereseary to deny that the Vik
fags are "spotted" In the big
meet ... Salem, as the only
team in district 10, draws for
a position exactly the same as
does district nine. In which is
situated Medford . . . Frank
fiianelll, who covers high school
athletics for the Oregonian, did
the drawing for this last tour
nament, and personally told
your correspondent that no
seeding of teams could have
transpired.
However, if the OSHSAA this
year redistrlcts the state and in
augurates the eight-team, double
elimination tournament it says It
is going to do, Salem will have to
earn a position into the tourna
ment Just the same as any other
team ... Furthermore, from the
way everything stacks up now.
Salem won't even be the host
team any longer despite the
fact Willamette university started
the tournament, despite the fact
WU has for 21 years been the tra
ditlonal setting for it, and despite
the fact Salem is about as cen
trally located for the meet as any
place in the state.
One Bird for Two?
Do you know that during the
state tournament, Bird went in
for Two Crows as a Chemawa sub
stitution? . . . That Ooodluck of
Chemawa would have been almost
a unanimous choice for the out
standing Sportsman award had it
not been discontinued? . . . That
if Chemawa had not lost Back
bone, Jerry Gastinean's band
would most certainly have fin
ished higher than fifth and most
likely would hare been playing
Salem for the title?
Another answer to Hnlen's
allegation that Salem la "spot
ted" la the big meet: The Bees
have been placed la one brack
et for five year. In two of
those five years, 103d and 1937,
Halem drew la the tongh row,
the Beelesa bracket . . . Ooo,
lata! Those g-e-orgeoas aals
the Senators will wear while at
hornet Whether or not there
will be anything deluxe to go la
them, those red, white and bine
creations, now oa d 1 a p 1 ay at
Parker's sportery, will most
certainly let everyone within
seeing distance know there la
such a clnb aa the Senators.

His backboard work was unparal

to be patting out on those back

With a 66, 67
Widens His Lead in North
and South Open; Almost
Certain Meet Winner
By BILL BONI
PIN'EHURST, N. C. March 20.
(JP)-R u n n 1 n g his sensational
scoring into a new record for 36
holes of US championship golf,
Ben Hogan today paced the 38 th
annual north and south open field
to the halfway mark with an 11-under-par
total of 13 3.
His opening effort, a 66 that
tied the course record, had opened
up a three-stroke gap between
him and his nearest pursuer.
The second round 67 he shot
today widened that margin to sev-
en strokes. It left the Texas-born
youngster, who plays out of White
Plains, NY, an almost sure shot to
come through to first money in
tomorrow's final 36 holes.
The way Benny is going. It will
be hard to stop him from taking
down his first big prize. The bur
den of pursuit will fall on Sam
Snead and Johnny Revolta, who
are bracketed together at 140,
and Craig Wood, the come-back-ing,
blond veteran who Is at 141
with amateur Bobby Dunkelber
ger, the Carolina champion, and
Stan Home of Montreal, Canadi
an PGA titleholder.
Bags Four Birdies
In his first round Hogan had
two bogeys.' He reduced that mar
gin of error to one this afternoon.
He struck his tee shot into a trap
on the short sixth hole, and the
rest of the way around bagged
four birdies, an eagle 3 on the
4 73-yard 16th, and 12 pars.
Hogan finished his round with
four straight 3's a par on the
15th, the eagle on No. 16, another
par on No. 17. and then a grandly
climactic birdie at the 18th, where
he thrilled the gallery by running
a 25-foot putt right into the cup.
Sixteen players in all broke par
in today's round.
Baek of Hogan's 67 came three
69's, by Snead, Wood and Horne;

Here's 'Drink of Water' Who May
Be Next World High Jump Champ;
Leggy Leaper Has Done 6-Feet-8J
By FELIX R. McKNIGHT
DALLAS, Tex., March 20. (AP) Cat-like Don Boy
ston, an awfully skinny boy whose legs seem to run right
into his shoulders, grins and says "I guess I'm the weakest
man in the world."
One look at the thin man, described by one scribe as "the
lad with legs like a shrimp-hunting crane," and there's little
room for debate. O
But the Oklahoma A and M
sophomore is liable to be the next
world's "high jump champion.
Over at Fort Worth last weekend,
in his first meet of the season,
Boyston crept up to the bar from
a slight distance of about ten feet
and suddenly unraveled that bony
frame of his in a great leap of six
feet. 8 VA inches.
Only the bend of his elbow kept
him from clearing six feet, ten in
ches. It rattled the bar Just
enough to slide it off the stand
ards as he went for a mark that
would have shattered the Ameri
can collegiate record of six feet,
nine and three-fourths inches.
Don, who depends entirely upon
spring, ignoring a run into the
bar, says he will be after the rec
ord at the Texas relays at Austin
April 6.
The man with the legs explains
that footwork is his secret.
"Gosh, if I got out of step, I
couldn't jump a fire plug."

Peterson, Terry
Sign for Battle
Imlep Scrapper Okeh After
Minor Foot Operation;
Is 10-Round Mix
Buddy Peterson, the Independ
ence farmer boy, and Charles
Kid Terry, the Irish gamester
from Eugene will clash in one of
the two 10-round main events
slated for the VFW fight card at
the armory arena next Thursday
night, March 28.
The second 10-round attraction
on the same card will be clinched
within 24 hours, announces Stub
Nelson, who is pinch-hitting lu
the absence of Tex Salkeld.
Peterson has been out of the
ring for more than a month, due
to a foot operation. He is back in
training and going strong. A
growth on his foot hampered his
activities for several weeks prior
to a miuor operation, but the
trouble has been completely re
moved. Weight for the Terry-Peterson
watch is 152 pounds. PetersdnTcer
tainly draws no easy game In this
chap Terry. The Irishman from
Eugene fought Tony Kahut toe
to toe for 10 rounds three weeks
ago. Tony won the decision but
Terry left the ring with the great
est ovation that has been given
a fighter here In many a day. He
all but stopped Kahut in a wild
seventh round and hurt Tony far
more than Buddy did in his two
fights with the Woodburn pride.
Terry will go into the Peter
son match with an additional
month's training and will be set
for a torrid pace. It behooves Bud
dy to go his best. The Eugene
ringman hopes to get over Peter
son and then get a return bout ' 1
with Kahut, as he is confident he
can even the score with Tony in
another meeting.
