Twelve high school hoop teams, each champion in its district, will compete in theannual basketball tournament which will be held in ; the armory Thursday, Friday and Saturday under the auspices of Wil lamette university. The event is an annual one at the university Having presented satisfactory team ciation, the. teams; that have been definitely selected by Coach R. L. Mathews are as follows: Eugene, from southern Willamette . valley; Ashland,' from southern Oregon ; Marshf ield, from southern ' coast region; McMinnville, from north ern " coast ' region; Salem, Wood burri and Molalla, from northern Willamette valley; Bend, from cen tral Oregon; and "Franklin high school, the champion of Portland. .

(Ed.'s note: So that's where those post-tourney brawls got started!) . f No, we haven't been uncorking pierely a file's snatch of the pre-tourney story of 25 years ago 19211 We'd have gladly used the 1920 augural year for the classics but, Other Memories, Too Unlike 1945, 'twas a great year for Salem, that ! 1921. No, she didn't win the title, but was' next best to Franklin of Portland after a 26-19 finale. One Viking, Guard Ashby. made the tourney all-star team picked personally by Coach Mathews. Two others selected on that same team were kids named Howard Hobson and Carl King, both of Franklin, the same How ard Hobson now of Oregon coach ing fame and Carl "Chappie" King of the 1945 tourney's' whistle-tooting troupe . The 1921 show no doubt holds many other memories for greyed tourney followers. For instance, that was the year Baker high' was found playing a "ringer" in a red headed kid named Stoddard-Blake-ly . .. Along with Ashby, other Salem players were "Evie" Jones, .Gosser, Randall and Staley . . . "Red" Ridings,' later to become an All-Coast basketballer for Oregon State, was a tourney all-star mem ber frpm Molalla. ... . From the accounts,- the 1921 classic was a whale of a show; not at all unusual for Oregon's prep hoop Utopia chase. And from the looks of what's to do the hooping in 1945, the 26th edition of same chase should be no disappointment in any respect, 'Frisco's Debut hi '21 - Also gleaned from the '21 file, and smack on the front page, too, is this little item: "Leo Edwards, the new catcher who has been signed by the Salem Senators for , the 1921 baseball season, is expect ed to arrive in Salem this week, - according to! Manager, Jack Hayes, and immediately will begin thaw t ing out for jthe season. Edwards i is known as a backstop of more than usual cleverness i and i big work is expected of him-in Salem. He comes from the Northwest Icgaue." . . L Arguments as to Ar , biter 'Frisco's village beginning , therein stand decided . .

He arrived in Chicago today and immediately, went to work on his specialty. He planned another out door workout tomorrow, and Fri day night will get his first chance to run on the boards of Chicago stadium. Last year Gil Dodds of the Boston AC, now retired from competition, set a world indoor record of 4:06.4 on the same track. Haegg has offered no alibis for his two defeats in this country. but critics of his training methods blame the losses onto his outdoor workouts. They , hold he should be training on the indoor boards for indoor events.
