SIPMMTS
BY WHITNEY MARTIN
NEW YORK, March 5-frVThe fact 75,000 spiorts fans wit
nessed a recent England-Wales soccer match in London is nour
ishing; fodder for those who like, to point out that Sports still are
conducted on a big scale in the war-torn countries. 1 The point
involved in the debate over sports crowds in this country is
transportation, however. The government doesnft object to a
huge crowd at a place bke the
Yankee stadium, where the cus
tomers arrive by tram, or el, or
subway. We have an idea none
of the 75,000 in
r
London wasted
any gas or tires
getting to the
stadium.
You could al
most throw out
Ray Robinson's
defeat by Jake
La Motta as far
as Ray's victory
record is con
cerned. After
Wfctotey Marti
all, "Willie Pep wouldn't be un
defeated " had he been 1 fighting
guys who outweighed him about
15 pounds. It's the same as Joe
Louis, running out of heavyweight
competition, having his streak
stopped by a gorilla. Robinson de
serves credit for taking " such a
chance of . having a fine record
blotted, although it's true a gent
will take a lot of chances if the
price is right. The moral of the
whole thing seems to be that if
you want to keep your record
clear, stay in your own class.
At least nine former national
amateur, golf champions are in the
armed services. They include Bud
Ward, Dick Chapman, Willie Tur
nesa, Johnny Fischer, Lawson Lit
tle, C. Ross Somerville, Bobby
Jones, Harrison R. Johnston and
Robert A. Gardner: The New York
Giants might be interested in Babe
Dahlgren, but not $30,000 worth.
All we know about Dahlgren is
that he looks right purty around
first base, and hits a long ball
when he hits. Branch Rickey,
when he thought he had got rid
of Babe in the deal with Indian
apolis that backfired, sized Dahl
gren up thusly: MI think Dahlgren
at his best is a pretty good ball
player but I think he's not
ways at his best."
There Is a touch of admirable
pride in Jimmy Foxx an
nouncement he wants to quit
baseball before baseball quits
. hint. That was one of the rea
sons for Ty Cobb's eventual re
tirement. The real stars want
the fans to remember them as
real stars, not as broken-down
old men oat there wheezing and
stumbling trying to play n young
man's game. There's nochlng
nKe as pathetic aa yesterday's
hero still ! imagining he's the
hero of today. We take It that
Jimmy's' announcement la sin
cere, and he's not giving oat
with sense of that oil he sells.
We always thought the guy who
won a fight was the guy who suf
fered the least damage. Yet here
tt Willie Joyce, who tied Henry
Armstrong into knots in winning
a decision, turning up with a bust
ed jaw while Henry has only the
usual bumps and lacerations com
mon to the . trade. , It looks . like
Armstrong might have waited one
bout too long to cash -in on bis
codeback : campaign in Madison
Square Garden. He still .might
pack, 'em ia for one fight, but it

part of the fans to see the dent

Dalles, 40-35
Salem high's Viks surprised
even themselves as well as a fair
crowd at the Villa last night by
tuning up for the state basketball
tournament with sj decisive 40 to
35 upset win over jThe Dalles
Indians. i
I '- j
Forced to use mostly players
who have been! reserves all
season since regulars Gerdy Me
Morria and Marty USvarverud,
his ace scorers, are sidelined.
Coach Frank Brown got some
real hooping from j his filler
lnners. Especially from diminu
tive Bobby Zeller, Just up from
the Jayvee squad. Zeller, only
a 5-foot 7-ineher, jput on; a
scoring show for j the fans, fir
ing seven times,! canning five
and adding three free throws
for a total of 13, which was high
for the evening. A torrid streak
by the diminutive forward net
ted 'eight consecutive points for
the Viks at one tune.
Both quints played a wide-open
brand of basketball, but Salem's
speed, 'Which hasj been lost re
cently, came back; last night and
sprung Viks into! the clear; for
easy lay-ins half ja; dozen times.
It was the best that Salem i has
looked in the past j five jjames
she's played. j M
The Viks even exhibited a ral-
al-jiy. The Indians held! an 8-3 first
quarter lead but hits by Zeller
and Courtney Jones brought the
Viks up to a lft-17 deficit at half
time, i
Then It was alp-aad-tuck un
til Ransom pushed Salem ahead
at 19-19. ZeUers eight-ln-a-rew
kept pace with The Dalles at
the outset of the f oarth period,
but the visitors:; aaaaaged to
knot M at 27-27 and 21-31 be
fore Caanmaa, Cross and Jones
sent Salem oat front for good.

Salem even improved in the
shooting department, j compiling a
neat .320 average. The Dalles was
getting plenty of shots but ! were
missing with moat so finished up
with a .225 markJ !

'Horaecoming,
The fight game came roaring
back to Salem last night, and ap
propriately enough, real flghun
men brought 'er back before a
jammed armory full of fistic
hungry fans in the American Le
gion's first amateur punch party.
The 381st infantry boxing team
of Camp Adair met the men of the
383rd, and when II bouts were
completed the 381st had won.
eight wins to three.
Salem's fight followers drank
down the proceedings with
mach shouting and applause.
indicative that the ; Legion
sponsored events were a tre
mendous success as far as the
crowd was concerned. Action
was plentiful throughout the
card despite the fact that only
one bout ended in a knockout.
The kayo came in bout No. 3
between the 381st's Al LeBouef
and Orland Garber of the 383rd,
both 145-pounders. Garber caught
his foe with a right in ' the first
round, and floored him for the
count.
The last boat, a heavyweight
scrap between Maurice Cox of
the 281st. at 127, and Buddy
Douglas, at 184, was probably
the best of the card. Both went
at it from boll to bell for all
three rounds Cox taking the
-popularly accepted decision.
Immediately before the final
bout, Lt. Barrett of the winning
381st challenged the 441st infan
try's team for the next card two
weeks hence.
Noticeable was the small
amount of soldiers on hand to
cheer respective baddies on. It
was learned that seme sort of
restriction was ordered at Adah
late in the day, however.
The comedy bout : featuring
Lakamu, at 98-pounds, vs. Lipsey,
at 280-pounds was well accepted
and roundly applauded.
Other results were:

Northern division basketbaU title
in seven years. .
i A near capacity crowd of close
to tOOt saw the Huskies, with
uncanny long range s h o e 1 1 a g
and flawless ball handling, build
up a 29-11 first half lead that
Oregon State's defending cham
plona never were able to chal
lenge. .. i-
The victory won Washington the
playoff spot against Southern Cal
ifornia- for the conference cham
pionship. The two-out-of-three
series is scheduled for Seattle for
next weekend.
Washiagtou's pace Friday
night appeared bet enough 1 te
challenge the highly touted
Southern Calif orniaus. The Hus
kies were uncanny hi their long
range accuracy, splitting $ the
OSC defease wide epea for
close-La shots.
Oregon State came back in the
second half with a much unproved
performance,- but even then was
two points short of matching the
Washington scoring pace for the
half.?' .'!.: ii i I -.
Boody Gilbertson was the open-
ing pace setter for Washington. He 1
scored nine points for the Hus
kies as they ran up a 10-4 lead in
the first six minutes. Then Guard
WaUy Leask took over. With one ,
of the greatest long range shoot
ing exhibitions ever seen on the
pavilion floor, he dropped In four
from mid-floor in the first half.
He got one more like them in the
second, plus three medium range
goals In running up 18 points for
top honors. ,
Sill Morris, the highly touted
Washington guard who needed
1$ potato to tie the dtvtston scor
ing record of 1U (which Gall
Bishop, Washington State, broke
Friday night), was held to a lone
field goal before be went oat on
foals midway through the see
. end half. Don Durdan, OSCa
all-star athlete, shadowed him
all the way, and most of Morris
14 shots from the floor were
.badly off line. y
Don Cecil and Lew Beck, with
three field goals apiece, were the
pace-setters for Oregon State in
the second half.
The teams meet again Saturday
night to conclude their seasons,
but the result will have no effect
on the title race. Washington's
victory was its 11th in 15 games.
It was OSC's seventh loss to eight
wins.
