Flesher, voices the belief that Wll
lamette university has failed as a
tournament host , . . 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."':..
