TONY FRAIOLA
Wonder what hospital Wally Palmberg was in before his Astoria
Fishermen won their way to the state tourney? The j Finns ac
complished polishing off Newberg for district 5 honors minus
their generalissimo, Captain Cliss Crandall, who was out with
the mumps. '
And haying a hoopster like Crandall en the sidelines durinr
a bine chip battle Is like UkJnf seven cylinders out f i V I and
ente'riac It in a race. j
Good thing little Newberg was the opposition. And knowing
how Palmberg all but anihilates himself even when Crandall is in
the thick of things, yet gods what he must have "gone through with
. him out! ...
Feather for Fraiola'g Fedora
Ton wouldn't think an ex-Little All-America football guard
would know a hecknva lot about basketball, but Tony Fraiola,
Willamette's submarining- terror of a couple seasons "aro did right
well in his first year out as a hoop coach at Sacred Heart. It
wasn't Tony's maiden voyage in the coaching racket, as he was
Spec Keene's right hand man at WU last fall during I the suc
cessful 'Cat grid season. But Tony took what was left of only a
mediocre Academy outfit of last season and brought it through
an unblemished league season picking- up the Marion and Clack
amas county's B league titles en route. Quite a feather for any
coach's bonnet, let alone a first year man.
.Incidentally, as a first year man Leroy Pierson at, Woodburn
gets an extra large feather for his lid, too. The Duration title, old
district 11 title and still going Thursday in district 4's tourney.

Keep an Eye on Dayton's Dunkers
Dayton high finally put the skids under the Sacred j Heart boys
in the four-county championship game last week, but watch for this
same Dayton outfit to come rolling into the tournament as one
' of the state's best .four B teams. A-la Bellf ountain of 1937 maybe.
Ted Hippi's crew (he's the former Linfleld court and grid
great) hasn't been beaten yet this year, and enters the McMinn
ville regional finals today as the team to try and keep from
coming to Salem. j
And while keeping an eye on this Dayton team keep the other
one on its center Roger Todd. The SHA kids say he's terrific on the
hoop floor. If he's as potent on the mapleboards as he was on Hippi's
; grid eleven last fall we're convinced right now. Six feet 4-inches; tall,
as tough as a piece of wire, hands like the proverbial hams and
catching passes a if they were baseballs instead of fopjtballs.
