The new basketball plan having the hoop-suiters shoot at either goal regardless of what side they're on didn't work out so well in its San Francisco debut, so the inventive genius has hatched another plan. Now it's two backboards at each end of the floor painted in contrasting colors,: the home team to shoot at the two goals of the same color, the visitors the other two. If that fails theyll probably give the hoop-suiters a jig-saw puzzle or two to put together while pn the offensive and three or four cows to milk while on the defensive. It's a cinch the inventive genius apparently doesn't think the cagers have enough to do now. He should try and keep up with 'em sometime. . Suppose you noticed, Earle Richard son of Dallas, that Salem high pledged and gave full support to the Corvallis entry in the tournament, which surely came as quite a shock to Polk county followers.

The only way personal contact can be made, according to the code, is strictly up to the bas ketballer. He can write for informatpn or can go to Corvallis (if he's interested in Oregon State) and talk things over. ; A few o fthe hoopsters who impressed Slats, all mentioned cas ually: Glen Kinney and Charles Barker of St Helens, Jim Rosenberg and Lyman Phillips or Pendleton, Bob Bartelt of Ashland, Jerry Krafve and Willis Urban of .Washington and Wayne Roberts, Larry West and Bob Labhart of Corvallis.
