that Leslie and Parrish junior high hoop-suiters are to be allowed the
tasting of outside-Salem athletic competition in the annual Goldenball
basket tourney in Portland, so we join many others in wondering why
said ice isn't broken up into little pieces. Meaning that the time is

therein provided for future senior high teams need not be explained
. here.
The object of any athletic program designed nowadays for 'teen
agers is health and fitness, both mentally and physically. Yet the
phys-ed teachersAave quite a time selling the kids on the idea of phys
ical education via intra-school activities, commonly and drudgingly
called "gym" by the kids themselves. Sure, the Leslie and Parrish
athletes today drool enthusiasm over their "civil war" meetings, but
youH find hardly a one who doesn't at one time or another "wish we
wuz in: that county league we could beat those guys." The conven
tional yearning to spread out is there. Glamorized and inviting physi
cal education goes with any venture of a varsity team into competi
iton with outsiders. It even has its effect on those who fail to make
the varsity teams and are left to their "gym" classes.
Athletic Groicth Starts in Lesser Grades
Wo've said it manv times here
winning senior high teams is sown
are still waddling through the mid-grades. .
Superintendent Frank Bennett's back-to-action move in local jun
ior high athletics a year ago when Leslie-Parrish competition was re
vived was a double-barreled shot in the arm for senior high varsity
sports. And from where we sit, the superintendent could volley a shot
in the other arm by now opening the gates to regularly-scheduled out
side competition for the Pioneers and Missionaries. Practicability of
such a maneuver has been proven by other such schools in the state
which annually list junior high varsity athletics on a par with those of
the senior highs.
The two topmost reasons for Superintendent Bennett's barrier
lifting move are logical enough, lal right. (1) To acquaint the local
juniors Wlui ouisiae cuwpeuuim v u icijr ia mc spue ui xuc, jr""
know; and (2) to unite closer athletic relationship between Leslie and
Parrish kids, more or less common rivals just as soon as they enter
the junior grades. Same kids will one day join the senior high teams,
and when they do it's better that they gang up as pals rather than car-ried-ovegCivil
war" rivals. Private ciicques are not good in varsity
athletics. Witness what the SHS secret societies have done in the past
for proof.
District 11 Tourney Financial Success
Shortie sporties: "Successfull" written across the face of the re
cent district 11 hoop tourney at Mt Angel by Director Father Method,
apd-nere's why: Student tickets sold 2156 for $539.00. Adult' tickets
sold 1203 for $601.50. Gross receipts $1140.50. Expenses, including
team mileage, $182.48 for Morgenthau via tax, $180 for officials, $90
. gym rent, etc., came to $600.35, which left to be divided equally be
tween the five participating schools $540.15, or $108.03 per s&ool plus
team mileage expenses . . . Due home soon as salty seamen after boot
training at San Diego station are Pete and ''Hoot" Valdez, two of
the youthful Valdez boys who have been active the past couple years
in village baseballing, basketballing, bowling and YMCA athletics in
general. Both are due home the latter part of the month . . . Appre
ciative high school that Woodburn. The student body and school are
showing what they think of their district 11 champion Bulldogs by
buying every one of 'em season tickets to the tourney this week . .. .
.- Speaking of Woodburn, she will be somewhat represented in the tour
ney even if in an of fhanded . way. Two of the Newberg Tigers who
are to battle for district four are Red-headed Dick Twenge and Left
hander Al Olson, both baseball stars for Woodburn's American Legion
Junior nine last summer ... Many eyes will be focused on Twenge,
for he's truly one of the greatest athletes ever to come out of Newberg.

before he permanently retires from the ring. Most of us matchmak
