Inability to ' hit the
basket in
the frist half, and inability to
convert on free tosses! through
out the game,' cost Leslie possible
victory.. Gurnee Flesheir's south
erners made good but ; two of 16
free throw attempts,! although
they hit the same number of field
goals, 12, as the Parrishj team. '
Warren, Farlow, Cross, Brandle
and Chapman all contributed to
push Parrish into a 9-3 first quar
ter lead, and only fine (defensive
work kept the count against the
Leslies down to 14-6 at half time.
The southend sizzlersi took new
heart as the second half opened,
feeding the ball to big Bill Rein
hart, who stored it in the net four
times to lead an offensive that
whittled Parrish's leadl to 21-19
at' the third quarter.
A court-swarming battle took
place in the fourth beat, with
Bud Clark bringing Leslie up
even for the first time in the ball
game with a steal-and-dribble
cripple, and then parking a free
throw to send his team in the
lead for the first time, 24-23, with
2:30 played. j
Cross crammed home! an over
head shot to shove Parrish back
in front with three; . minutes
played, 25-24. Ransom sank a
free toss and Brandle i bucketed
a 'rebound to widen the gap to
28-24 with a minute and 40 sec
onds left to play, but Kurtz kited
tn a howitzer from J far out to
bring the score down I to 28-26.
Then, with 48 seconds to play
and the Pioneers trying to stall
their way out, KurU intercepted
pass and sped down the floor
to tie lip the game. I pj
Leslie had but one shot at the
basket-in the overtime session,
while Parrish peppered theirs
from all angles. '"
Scoring honors went to Rein-
hart, with 11 points on five field
flips and one free toss, while War

the glory with seven each.

Realtors Hear
Sen! Belton
The Utopia complex" which
has permeated political thinking
in California and Washington is
fortunately not so prevalent in
Oregon but it seems to be gaining,
Sen. Howard Belton of Clacka
mas county observed in address
ing the Salem Realty board at
its luncheon onFriday.
Oregoriians Jhould realize that
"resources anT not wealth" until
developed arfa that thus Oregon
is not a rich state. He deplored
the number and variety of bills
before the legislature,, but said
It could hardly be avoided unless
the system is changed.'
Oregon is fortunate in having
a steady, conservative rural pop
ulation and has been fortunate
in a recent series of capable gov
ernors, Belton stated, adding that
because the present governor is
conservative and courageous, op
portunist j legislators present freak
bills in the hope that he will have
to veto them and suffer from
public criticism as a1 result. Belton
also praised the work of the Mar
ion county senators.
