Sport Sparks

Dare I mention the 1941 state high school hoop tournament,
or is it a taboo topic? '
You know that to which -I refer the one in which a certain
team came within 25 seconds of winning its third straight cham
pionship and the one that was followed by a vulgar, display of
poor . sportsmanship by the inevitable "hangers-on".
The Reason for mentioning that casaba chase, friends, is so
that this corner may go on record to this effect:
J. It was a fine tournament
all. but the last 25 seconds of it,
fluid all but the downtown mess
that grew; out of it.
" 2. Congratulations to the cham
pions, who earned their title on a
neyer-say-die, always - in - there
pitching finish.
S. Condolences for the runner
p, which.' had it played anywhere
near the type of ball it did dur
ing the regular season would have
been - champion In a walk, and
which, had it protected its lead,
would have been champion any
way. ;
4. Special condolences to -Bob
Irish, the j runnjer-up's big pivot-
or, Wliu jiu&seu m viiii.ii ou-swu
berth because I of illness which
prevented! him from playing but
half of the tournament games and
which prevented him from con
tributing the brand of basketball
. i . j it
an wno saw mm piay during uic
season know he is capable of play-
'Apology Oiced.
That Salem owes Astoria a pub
lic apology, as is suggested by
Wally Johansen, Astorian-Budget
sports writer, is probably true.
But what part of Salem owes the
social debt is not yet clear. Iden
tification of the hoodlums who
provoked the mob scene at a
downtown restaurant where Wal
ly Palmerg and his champs were
'banqueting has not yet been en
tirely made.
Certainly Salem's team had no
part in it for the Viks, like ev
ery other team in the tournament
without exception, exemplified
sportsmanship from beginning to
end. It is also pretty well deter
mined that members of the Salem
high student body had no actual
part in the demonstration, even
though some were present in the
mob, but that ex-Salem high stu
dent body members may have
had,
The whole thing is especially
regrettable in that it most cer
tainly will not help Salem's chan
ces of retaining the tournament
chances that have been grow
ing slimmer each year for the
past four. Who could blame
coaches for not wanting to bring
their teams to the capital city if
there was a chance of them re
ceiving the treatment accorded
the 1941 state champions?
Stronger, but.
While, as Coach Harold Hauk
says, the 1941 runner- up was a
stronger " team ' than either the
1940. or 1939 champion, I don't
believe it can be called as strong
a tournament competitor as were
either of those. Except for their
semifinal game against Klamath
Falls, the 1941 Viks never once
approached the calibre of play
they maintained throughout the
regular season, while the '39 and
'40 teams, if anything, rose to
greater strengths in tournament
play than they had during the
year's play.
As far off form as they were,
however, it STILL, remains they
missed becoming champions by
Xailure to protect a one-point lead
Jb the last 2 seconds after fail
log to protect a three-point lead
in the last 55 seconds. No matter
how you look at the game, you al
ways come back to that point.
In this observer's opinion, hus
ky Ellman Peterson contributed a
major share in Astoria's climb to
the crown. He played far super
ior ball to anything he had previ
ously displayed here, and it was
his firing, both in the semifinal
against Oregon City and in the
final against Salem, that kept the
Fishermen in there.
O
Tourney Changes.
Whether the 1942 tournament,
slated for March 11-12-13-14,
will be held here or not is yet to
be determined, but these changes
are almost certain to be adopted:
' 1. Ten-man instead of eight
man teams.
2. Four referees instead Of
three.
3. Tournament to start Wed
nesday morning instead of after
noon. Two of these changes, formula
ted as resolutions by the State
High School Coaches' association
basketball committee,1 were ad
opted by ,the OSHSAA board of
control here last Saturday. Ad
opted were the 10-man squads and
Wednesday morning start for the
tournament, while the resolution
providing for four referees was
taken under advisement.
Coach Hauk, who, along with
Baker's Stub Allison and Eugene's
Fritz Kramer, were named on the
basketball committee, prop osed
the resolutions. The committee
also adopted a resolution asking
the national rules committee to
change the rules so as to allow
unlimited substitutions and to al
low substitution following bas
kets. Spokane Signs

Snead Fires 66
To Take Lead
In North-South
By BILL. BONI
PINEHURST, N. C, March 19-(Jf)-The
faintly familiar figure of
Samuel Jackson Snead came into
prominence again today in the
second round of the North-South
Open Gold championship.
Sapauel Jackson, winner of two
of the last four tournaments on
the winter tour and runner-up in
a third, made himself very much
the man to beatTtor top money
by shooting a beautiful 66 to take
the halfway mark lead with a
36-hole total of 135. His six-under-par
round was equal to the
competitive course record, and it
brought him out of a four-way
tie for third place into a four
shot lead over the field.
Snead's eagle, on the 598-yard
tenth hole, was nothing short of
momentous. His second shot left
him just off the edge of the green,
but from there he rolled in a putt
that was a full 50 feet long. The
men with the longest memories
at Pinehurst could recall only one
other eagle there, by Jimmy
Thomson in the 1936 PGA champ
ionship. Back of Snead came three
champions US open titleholder
Lawson Little, with a 70 for 139;
PGA titleholder Byron Nelson,
with a 71 for 140, and Hogan,
last year's winner, with a 70 for
171 and Clayton Heafner from
Linville, N. C, whose second
straight 70 gave him a third
place tie with Nelson.
Aspinwall Sets
New Swim Mark
BUFFALO, NY, March 19-(JP)-Fourteen-year-old
Patty Aspin
wall of Indianapolis swam to a
new American record tonight in
the 220-yard breast stroke finals of
the women's national AAU sen
ior swimming championships.
The Riviera club entrant re
tained her title with a time of
3:07.8 to clip 1.2 seconds from
the former record of 3:09 set June
19, 1940, by Fujiko Katsutani of
Honolulu,
Patricia McWhorter of the
Newark Women's Athletic club,
Newark, NJ, won the 100-yard
free style finals in 1:02.8 and the
crown left undefended by Ha
lina Tomska Tullis of Chicago.
Judges debated several minutes
after the finish, finally placing
Brenda Helser, Portland, Ore.,
second; Joyce MacRae, Multno
mah AC, fourth.
Anne Ross, St. George Dragon
club, Brooklyn, won the low
board diving crown with 119.91
points.

ASTORIA, Ore., March 19-JP)-WMy
Palmberr, coach of
the state championship Astoria
hifh school basketball team,
said today he would take no
more teams to Salem unless as
sured of better treatment than
"we received after winning
from Salem."
He and his team had to "run
a "rauntlet" of rowdy Salem
youths to reach a "victory ban
quet" in a Salem restaurant, he
asserted. Palmberr also charted
that one player who went out
side to talk to a friend had to
be "rescued" from the crowd.
Meantime, editorialists in all
parts of the state broke into print
with "naughty, naughty" wig
wags at the city of Salem and
at Salem high with no more fac
tual substantiation for their
stands than could be found of
ficially here Wednesday.
Fred D. Wolf, Salem high
principal, said the Astoria team
had been advised' by Troy
Walker, secretary of the state
high school activities associa
tion, to leave town quickly, and
quietly right after the game.
City police said the disturbance
at the restaurant was not any
greater than was generally ex
perienced at the culmination : of
state tournaments here.
High school officials said that
if a rumpus had occurred they
were certain it would not have
occurred had they been able to
stage their regular tourney 's-end

Jackson Best
fBad Man' in
Mix With Mike
When the battle of - the "bad
men" was over at Salem's arm
ory Wednesday night, there was
Bulldog Jackson, for once the
peoples' choice, the victor over
Mike Ma2erian.
A stomper hammerlock, the sec
ond applied with the same re
sults by the one-time Yukon Kid,
provided the means to the end.
It came after a hair-pulling con
test in which Jackson also came
out number one man, for Mazer
ian's long locks provided much
better hand holds.
Jackson bested Mazerian after
the"burly Armenian had taken the
initial fall in the short time of 32
seconds, using a Boston crab.
Walter "Sneeze" Achieu, using
jiu-jitsu to get out of the tight
spots, subdued Prince Ilaki in
