-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

teams entered in the Portjand Gol
den Ball hoop meet will not play
their initial games until next Mon
day evening. The Cubs, coached
by Bob Metzger and entered in
the 13-14 year old division, have
not been informed as to who their
opposition will be, but their first
game will be played on the Pen

i will tangle with the winiier of to

Hinting that the competition
will be pretty rough for the Sa

are 40 entries in the Cub division
and 46 teams in the intermediate
bracket. Teams are entered from
Eugene, Oregon! City, Forest
Grove, Vancouver, Milwaukie,
Gresham, and several other towns
around Portland. Also listed are
most of the junior varsity squads
from the eight Rose City high
schools.
Metzger hasn't decided upon
starting lineup as yet and is using
Carlos Houck, Jack Miller, Tom
Paulus, Ralph Morgali Paul Neis-

Ted Covalt alternately at the five
spots. Keuscher has nominated
