State Title Grid Game Brings Surprises
The official Oregon High Schools Activities Association Febru
ary bulletin at hand, and tells that the Marion, Senator and Argo
hotels in our village have "promised to take care of the tournament
teams" next months, that SHS Principal Fred Wolf will be In charge
of housing the quints and that March 11 is the absolute deadline for
districts to complete their tournaments or eliminations. Further
more, team personnel will be limited to nine players land a . coach
with 'allowances to be $4.50 per
a team , remains in the tournament.
Few surprises found in checking over final figures on
Klamath Falls-Grant state football championship game, also listed
In the bulletin. For instance: A total of 10,991 tickets were soldi for
the game which netted $8704.50.
Multnomah Athletic club took off
stadium (25 of gross $3704.50)
clipped off. Rent IS high these
" Anyway, what was left of the ultimate $5542.00: melon was
divvied up like this: OHSAA $2771.00, Grant high $1385.50 and
K-Falls $1385.50. j !
Was worth playing the darn thing after all, eh? At those figures
we'd say so, but definitely. .
Famous last words dep't: "How'd jrou llike the way I let my
. team stall away the championship of our league last Friday night?"

ning a unanimous decision over
Lee Q. Murray in a return ; 10
rounder before a sellout crowd of
13,774 at the arena tonight. Bivins
weighed 191 pounds, the heaviest
of his career but gave away 11
pounds to the lanky easterner. .
The 'decision was Bivins second
straight over the big fellow from
South Norwalk, Conn. 1
Murray almost won. a technical
knockout In their first encounter
when he inflicted a deep cut over
the Cleveland negro's left eyeand
although Jimmy won the decision
of both judges and the referee, the
crowd didn't like it
Tonight, however, Bivins was
out to vindicate himself and pro
tect his No. 1 rating with the Na
tional Boxing association.
The heavy firing from a tiger
like Bivins reached its climax in
the ninth round. He rushed out of
his corner and tagged Murray
flush on the face with a vidous
right hook. Murray dropped to the
canvass and took a count of nine.
Bivins was out to. finish It but
Murray threw, up enough of a de
fense to go the route.
