In tucking away the hoop tournament for another year
yes, it stands a very good chance of returning next year since
Oregon High School Activities association's Tom Pigbtt and Fred
Patton, as well as all the coaches convened at their annual meet
ing Saturday, openly forecast a
hopeful future for i the classic
here) following are a few
leftovers:
Frank "The Thin Man" Ram
sey, all 250 pounds of him, was
so lavish with his praise of the
Powers forward, "Commando''
Jack Bushnell that the bullet-"
headed Bushnell was about all
Ramsey could talk about.
. 'Course after witnessing young
Bushnell'i u 1 1 r a-competitive-
. ness, ruggedness and speed you
had the reason why Ramsey as
well as the rest of the coaches
were drooling while watching
him play. They could also vis
ualize what a terror he would
be packing a pigskin. ; ,
Fact is, had the coaches decided to elect their All-State
hoopsters at random from both the !A and B players, yoUng
Bushnell would have probably, landed smack on the first team.
: Oddly enough, this seemingly tireless Bushnell his1 another year
at Powers high but it will come after the war. He jtold us he was
18 and had a date with the army very soon. Didn't know which
college he would like to attend, so he said. ' ' ; !

The Cart Before the Horse Again j ;
Speaklnr of All-State hoopsters, the old burraboo which
actually makes a farce of the' selection' was certainly. In evidence
. Saturday nirht after the title came. If anyone ever rave a rflt
edred performance and belenred on the All-State .first five it
was Klamath Falls' Jim BoechL His 20 points and all-around
floor rame was the bis reason why Baker rot herself! annihilated.
But the All-State selections were made Saturday! afternoon as
usual, so naturally BoechTS brilliant performance went for nothing
as farvas the mythical team wai concerned. ; j i
Just another glaring example of how foolish 1 U not to wait
until the tournament is completely over before picking jits outtsahding
players. Should some young "hopeful turn in a game which beyond
a doubt rates him a berth on the team, as did Boccij Saturday night,
hell then receive his just due. I f 5
So much did the Pelican captain deserve a spot on that team
that when he accepted the first place trophy in behalf ofihis cham
1 pioru and in 'turn tried to hand it to happy Coach' Wayne Scott,
the latter beamed, "No Jim, you take if homo with- you." .Just as
'if to say, "You earnedt kiis.

- "When the chips are down JbeTl show .you Somethinr.'- predicted
Frank and from experience." Bocchi showed us and the other ZZ89
fans Jammed in the hoop lutU something- Saturday night aH right.
And now wt know why Oregon's .Ho ward Hobeon was con

about Bushnell. . . 5 r '. :i ' I j' f . ?
All In all it appeared the whole meet was l a snccess-i-all
except in one department. We know there were two packed houses
which made the financial department smile, and! bice Astoria
got stomped on twice all Salem was happy. .Klamath Falls got
. her first title In history,- so she was indeed satisfied. But the single
beef involves the officiating. It, to come to the point, stunk.
We were in a position to get a little low-down onwhat was
going on, and believe us, "it was going on, too,' The whlitle-tooters
seemed more interested in whether or not they were calling fouls
out from under each other's noses than in doing; their best to keep
up with the game, and in a. few instances were definitely not one big
happy family. ;
Nobody Killed, mo Why Call Em?
A "ref'-can have a bad night Just as a team
and then, but when he is consistently bad one wonders how come
he should be working in a tournament to decide the best team In
the state. And we aren't alone In our, accusations! either. Many who
have seen every one of the 24 tournaments openly admit the 24th
was of ficiated the poorest ever." j f - '
As Coach Romeo Adams put It . during ( Saturday night's
title clash between his Warren ton cagers and JJarrisburg, when
three flagrant and successive fouls were committed by the latter
- but no whistle was blown on any. : "If the kids bodies are stiff
warm I guess they wont call emJ ; r I
. Not that Messrs. Cart licnchitsky, Frank Heioiges and Chappy
King were inclined to be favorable to any particular team all merely
seemed to change interpretations of the rules a dozen or so times
during the course of a single game.; j j
, So Mister Pigott could have done a much better job l picking
.his officials. ; J .rj-: W- i ' ' j
