Not, he says, In conduct of the big prep hoop show, but in keeping pace with the times in facilities for hand ling it. U "There b no question but what Salem is the Ideal loca tion for the tournament," says Dwight, "and that Willamette, being- a small university, is the ideal host none of the coaches dispute that But we are unani mously of the opinion that un less Willamette : greatly im proves Its ' physical plant the tournament should be moved" . . . Adams, like the rest who have given the situation serious thought, doesn't know where the tourney could be moved to make as much profit as. It does here, but says that is entirely beside the point. ' - O . . Favors Tourney As 'for the state softball tourna tnent, which, like the basketball show, has been held in Salem for so long folks think it a perman ent fixture, Adams isn't certain It is probable, he says, how ever, that it wiiu again oe siagea here late in August . . . If not, it is probable Oregon City, who wants the tournament, will get it. Adams, state director af soft ball. Is wholeheartedly in fa vor of the.' de-commercialized program Salem '; is attempting this season saying' it is exact Ijr what the state association de sires . .'..That doesn't mean we should cut out the state 'meet and thereby lessen the interest, however," he says . . "There is no reason why the best in one section of the state shouldn't find out just how good they1 are by meeting- the best In the other sections." Promotion of Jurther competition is but follow iing ;out the very essence of the American way of life, holds Adams, who is but one of hun dreds of physical education men iwho believe the new Portland high school setup, wherein the trend is to de-emphasize competi tion, is all wrong . . ; "Take away 'competition from American sports ;and you won't have sports the American way the way that makes them so wholesomely dif ferent from sports: in most other 'countries." - ' ! -" -o- - Errorless Preps While AdamSj is still wrapped up in softball as a recreational sport for the masses, his first and i largest sports love continues to be baseball ... So much so, he relates, that he was sorely tempt ed to toss his state directorship overboard in order to manage the Albany Junior Legion club, which is comprised in the main of youngsters who played outstand ingly for his high school outfit this season. ! , Dwight's prep nine this sea son pat together one amazing performance for a high school outfit going through six - con secutive games without error . . . Moreover,' his shortstop, Sophomore Al Fortler, wasn't charged with a single error the whole season, a n d : his third baseman, 'Bud Long, was charged with but one. In Long, also a sophomore this season, Adams thinks he has . an ivory-inlaid prospect . . . "He's a rangy youngster," says Dwight, "who learned to hit playing soft ball and who hammers the base ball in much the same manner" . . . Fortler, whose father pitched for the old Albany Oaks; also learned his' baseball rudiments from softball t hu s convincing Adams even more that . softball helps rather, than hurts baseball players. The one thing softball teaches, that far overshadows what harm it might do," I think, "is that It accustoms youngsters to visualise the play ahead of time something they nave' to do because softball action Is swift."':..

Elfstroms Roofers defeated Joe Randall's Brass Ducks 12 to 6. The Brass Ducks gave Pitcher Lei and tournaments to j Williams lOrerror support. Elfstroms tied up the count In the fourth on a walk and two errors and then proceeded to win on two runs in the fifth and a five-run, five-error- spree in the sixth. Although Blue Lake outhit the Postoffice 11 to 5, the Producers edged out the government men in the late innings 6 to S. Blue Lake opened with two runs in the second on an error, a fielder's choice and a single. Post office came back to knot the count in the fourth on a walk and a single by ; Pitcher Shedeck. Blue Lake went into the lead in the fifth on a walk and Bob Barnwell's homer. The Mailmen tallied -three runs in the last part of the fifth to again tie it up on a double, a single and Shedeck s. four-ply swat. The Producers ended the game in the sixth on two consecutive singles and Monte Christopher son's liner to center. Keith Brown ran wild in two big innings, the third and fifth and won easily, 14. to 7 over a hard-hitting Paper Machine nine.

A covered dish lunch eon was served at soon. ning, when the Tiges teed off for all three of their tallies. Dierickx, who was given a comfortable lead in the early innings, fogged his swift at the Tacomas when things got rough and kept them away from pay plate, until the ninth. . Tacoma's final-frame rally was nipped only after three had crossed with but one away. Con secutive singles by Ray Perry and Bill Gray. Hansen's outfield flq, Harry Stoeber's double and Pinch-Hitter Pip Koehler's line single accounted for the runs. Dierickx got Mallory and Linde on Iy balls to end the game. Our Legislators shoved two home in the first on Lanifero's opening single, Clint Cameron's triple that Outfielder Johnny Linde sadly misjudged and Charlie Petersen's infield out They add ed single runs in the second, third and fourth, and threatened in ev ery inning but the eighth despite the frugal bat work. 1 Bergstrom gained life on Short stop Hanson's error to open the second, stole second, took third on Griffiths' single and tallied as he and the Little Skip staged a dou ble theft Consecutive b ingles by Peter sen and Lightner, a base on balls to Charlie Bates and Bergstrom's infield out scored the third inning run. The fourth-frame tally trot ted in as Adams walked, went down on Dierickx' sacrifice and scored on Lanifero's well-lashed single past the hot corner bag Some sweet pitching from the outfield by Lightner and Peter sen pulled Dierickx out of dire trouble in the second, when. With runners on first and third by dint of base hit, first Light ner and then Petersen pulled in short flies and heaved home ward pronto to keep the third base runner glued. A sparxiing doubieplay com pleted by Lanifero, as the pivoter, on a tough handle, helpe Frankie-the-Flipper in the fourth, wnue his own sweet serving pulled him out of a sixth inning spot after he'd loaded second and third with one away by issuing a single to Abbott and a double to Perry.
