i - Grack Eii Salem Hnno cmonie deD't: The Southwest ' the country's top stomping grounds bucket - pawed basketeers who ben'd over toass beneath 7-foot doorways, can now move over. The Coast conference, Northern i division, has moved 'in with 'a, I batch of the biggies itself . ; WSC's Vince. Hanso.n t 6-8, Ore ! gon's Ken Hays at 6-7 and .OCS's new "Red" Rocha at 6-8 and Ted Henningsen at 6-6 can't com Vplire with Oklahoma A&M's Bob Kurland at 7-feet even, or with i one Bill Kok at 6-10 of the same : league, but in overall depth the NDPCC has a comparable crew! of the goonies. . . . They'll all hive , to go plenty if they're to tie what 'is now being groomed for future , point pitching and blocking ' ;by ' Abe Saperstein and his Harlem ! Globetrotters, however. The wee i : hnnn mainr rinmn whn hrnnsrht rifa r , . . -o , colored tricksters to town annual ly before the warias uncovered a 16-year-old negro youth who Tight ' now scrapes the. 7-foot 9-inch Ijeyel after, starting from a pair of size ' 18 shoes, and Saperstein vows jhe ; hasn't yet reached his full growth! The tricks of the trade are to; be taught the lad for two years be fore tie's presented as Globetrotter exhibit A . . .... Mebbe after the , rules committee sees that aspirant ' in-action it'll hike the goaMorl? feet after' all, and in a hurry .!.'. About these basket biggies ;n the Northern division Cougar Coach Jack Friel says he'll take his Vince Hanson over any one of the others. Hanson is categoried 6-8 in some 'brochures, 6-9 in others. One or the other, that's a long way up. He has but one more foot to go to tie the Globetrotters' latest findl ' ; V. Incidentally, three of ' the NCPCC's whoppers Hanson, Henningsen and Rocha are scraping off the Men's Gym raft- ' ers at Corvallis in the current OSC-WSC series ... Re 6-8 Rocha, although he fouled out against Oregon just after break jng a good sweat, it is the opinion of those State stalwarts who saw him in action that he'lUbe a whal ing good hoop-suiter - soon as he learns what is and what isn't foiil in the league. . . , Polio Fund Behind The Marion Sports Polio Fund, sorry as we are to admit it, is considerably behind -schedule de spite! the superb efforts of those who ihave so far bumped its, total to $536.70. Last year at this date the fund rode at a JA5.03 level. Eventually, with Cne over-$900 : armory sports dalice the reigning feature the 1944 total reached $1600. It was the best effort in the nation "for a county this size, told j us National Chairman Basil O'Connor. n other words, Mar ion county sportsters delivered the ,t most telling blow of all when they tookj their turn at bat for the fund. .But now the county has fallen behind, and it looks indeed like we'll never hit that $1670.25 "goal". That is, unless all the county high schools to which we've written pop forth with their respective polio benefit basketball games. So far little Mill Cityis ' 'the only one which has responded, , and; the $40 pitched in from there ' ' is ft; grand Vesture. Silverton. Jef- ; fersbn, Salem and Woodbiirn have announced their polio games are upcoming soon. ' We, as chairman of the county sports drive, have heard nothing from the rest Were one student in each of : those lagging schools suddenly in jected by the disease. Heaven for : bid it, no doubt, all would be suf ficiently saddened. Not that stas ing a benefit hoop game would be a barrier to such a supposition, , but it might one day erase the possibility of some unfortunate v kid possibly your own being t stricken. So what say, schools, , let s get that game scheduled. . Reaching our goal means nothing, Reaching out to help some kid who's downed with polio means , plenty. You can help with dimes or dollars. .

He even nabbed the first fall with a flying cartwheel spin - the "Mask" doing the spinning followed up by a body press. But Stonefaca bounced back with bel ly bounces to cop the second and then with more for the third after setting up Bucko with the head bonks. The card was lively throughout In the opener Meanie Earl Malone pulled an upset by taking two of the three falls from Coast Junior Heavy Title Claimant Gust John son. Then in the semi, a hammer and tong tussle all the way, Vil lager Tough Tony Ross was held to a draw by the two-fisted tar tar, Billy McEuin. McEuin, a few heart punches and a half -crab won the first fall, but Ross, after surviving more of McEuin's fist punishment, sneaked over a vi cious leg-lock for -the second fall. The time limit ended it but the pair kept on going for almost three minutes before Referee Ivan Jones could break 'em up.
