Newspaper Page Textmmi mum ------ - "" -V Harp-strumming dept: Yesterday we blatted our brain out with words expressing the necessity for action NOW regarding the 1946 state basketball classic it must be moved to larger" quarters and namely, the state fair grounds' horse show pavilion, seating capacity at least 5000. v Also noted yesterday that Bossman Sprague had the m idea in his front page "It Seems to We" column ... Togay we have facts 'n figures concerning the 21st annual Washington state tourney, finished Saturday night In mam moth U of -Washington pavilion, Seattle. Plenty of room there, al though we're not comparing Salem to Seattle in the matter of drawing power for state hoop . tourneys. Opening day in, Washington (last" Wednesday since it was a four day, 16-team tourney instead of Oregon's three-day, 8-teamshow) 11,000 paid to get in during day and night sessions. Although jfig ures on the Willamette U attend ' ance aren't yet available, nor will -they be for another week, says Les Sparks, the Oregon starter last Thursday (both sessions) couldn't have had more than 6000 Custom ers, There was no room fop more. Had there been it isn't too :far out of line to say that 9000 or 10,000 would have written off Oregon s op ening day attendance, and even more if Salem high had been as a favorite as was Seattle's home ington meet. , .u f;, , For the entire Washington series 40,211 spectators set an tU-tuoe high attendance mark. The previous record was 16,000 yes, 16,000 in Seattle. Last week's Willamette attendance could not have been more than 16,000 since you must realize WU capacity is 3000 even after using the shoe-horn which was much in evidence all last week. The all-time high at Willamette was 14,000, notched during the 1944 classic. It may have reached the 16,000 figure last week. Had their been room, it might have easily hit double that total, or 32,000. Postwar Portland Pavilion Inviting i As it stands now, only Portland has a chance of wresting the tour ney from Salem. But Portland has no pavilion in which to house it. That is, none right now. One is planned for the post-war building boom. Therefore, if Salem is to keep the tourney she should be doing something now not after the war. - As mentioned, the fair grounds' pavilion is the solution. For $10,000, which could be made up easily enough with the very first tour nament, portable flooring,! goals, heating equipment and dressing rooms could be installed. The building could be rented from the fair grounds association not only for the tournaments but for other major attractions as well. Big name dance orchestras, for instance. The plan is there and work upon it should start at once. We don't know who would be required to put up the $10,000, if it would cost that much, but inasmuch as Willamette U is the high poobah of the classics she and her guiding hands should know. The ten-thousand would be repaid many-fold in time. No One Really at Fault for Tourney Mes$ No one knows better than Willamette that the tourney has grown too big for WU facilities. ' The school has known that the past five years, we're told. And no one should escape any more the ridicule which goes with such an overcrowded mess as was last week's than Willamette officials. After all, they had only so much room. And it's a problem, senior grade, to try parking 4000 where only 3000 can squeeze in. Many toes were stepped on both inside and outside the gym during the 26th classic, and no one is really at fault So it's up to Salem to do something, and now, if she wants to keep her hoop baby alive and kicking at home. Simpson Seeking Job, Eyes, Salem High This might sound a bit whacky, but Medford's Al Simpson, Ore gon's "Coach of 1944" after winning two straight prep titles is looking for a job. No, he hasn't been fired for not making it three in a row - be merely figures now's the time for young and successful coaches to grab themselves off steady jobs. Being a veteran cf world war II, likeable Alvin is only- m a pinch hitting role at Medford. The Tornado football job awaits: the return of Bill Bowerman, now in the service, and the basketball chores go to Russ Atchison when he quits the khaki. Consequently, when they return Simpson is out. Rather than wait that long, the pinch-hitter is now on the prowl for a permanent spot. And while in town last week, the gent riding the state's prep coaching crest asked many questions regarding the Salem high situation. He made no bones about it he'd , like very much to sign on at the son pegs Salem as THE coming city in state prep athletics. He'd like to be dealt in. !"',.; ' Also on the Simpson checkup list is Astoria. 'Tis said Bill Bowers is to take over principalship in one of the Astoria junior highs, leaving the basketball coaching job open. But like Medford and Salem and other prep schools in the state, Astoria has her head coaches in the . service and a tenure sign on their jobs until they return.: Lt Harold Hauk says he's definitely coming back to SHS after the war and both Lt. Wajly Palmberg and Lt Norville May are the on-leave basketball and football skippers at Astoria. What's Cookin? Could Be No doubt Simpson will come good. His record warrants it But his current success out looking" for well-known coach on the prowl about the town last week was Marble Cook, late of Klamath Fall's Pelicans. There's something in the air, Bob Lucas, Astorian Budget attache, basketball pressurist and "coach hunter, was another tourney sideliner last week and openly ad mitted he was booking, for a coach to sign on at Astoria even if we have to pay him $3750 a year." Lucas doesn't care who he is as long as-he can PRODUCE. "I'm authorized to sign up a coach right now. he furthered. "Astoria is fed up going to start back to winning, and More about Simpson he's sold erable Ed Kirtley, for years widely known and liked as assistant coach and physical education director at Medford, that Kirtley admitted he'd "string along with Simpson wherever he goes if the price is right" Utnerwise ne'U stay right at Medford where he has "a good deal Kirtley says Simpson "has more on worked under. , PAFEKMAKERS (S) caay 1M 14? 186 532 14S: 166 1 480 173 151 179 903 147 140 113400 157: 150 1M 473 Totals 866 799 S5S 2523 CAPITAL CITY LAUNDRY (1) Klrchner 14S 176 145469 Woelk 130 191 - 1S3 504 Bock , , -129 155 129-M13 McCluky -189 157 154500 Mathls .. 149 224 165-3S Totals -745 S03 778 2424 M r GKOCEKY (2) Poryard 171 182 K.
