Community Auditorium, Field
House Advocated by yW Head
If the stadium at the state fair
grounds is fitted up to care for
state high school basketball tour
nament games and crowds, it will
be able to accommodate approxi
mately 7500 spectators and Will
serve only a few years. President
G. Herbert Smith of Willamette
university told Salem Chamber of
Commerce members and guests at
their Monday luncheon meeting.
He said the stadium probably
would be so adapted in time for
use next year.
Only permanent answer to the
principal problem in retention of
the tourney for Salem lies in con
struction of a field house large
enough for a Rr owing sports at
traction, and Willamette univer
sity, which started and fostered
the tournament cannot alone
manage such construction. Smith
declared.
The speaker quoted R. SCSpec)
Keene, long Willamette univer
sity's sports mentor who now is a
sporting goods merchant here, to
the effect that it would be "won
derful if all the organizations
which could use such a building
and are now contemplating erec
tion of buildings for themselves
would get together to help fi
nance construction' of a com
munity auditorium and clubhouse
with attached field house on the
100-acre park site the city is buy
ing (Bush's pasture).
Tearaey God Publicity
The toufnament, now in its
27th year, means much to Salem
in the way of advertising, bring
ing to the city men who are lead
ers in other parts of the state and
boys who will be leaders. Smith
said. It means much to boys of
the state who gain from partici-

Fred Klaus of Salem headed

Manufacturers' association as
president today, as a result of an
election at a well-attended meet
ing of the organization at Gear
hart last week.
Both service to the public and
the maintenance of the highest
standards In sanitation and qual
ity were stressed as all-Important
factors, during business dis
cussions. Other officers include Frank
Humble, Portland, vice president;
Mrs. Frank Humble, secretary
treasurer; Kenneth Jette, Port
land, executive secretary.
Talks included those given by
A. D. Widby, Kenneth Carl and
Joe Gray of Salem.
New Senator Hotel Bids;.
Dating in the "big show," and It
is part of;the s p or t a f training
which did much to fit men of this
country for competition in the
war, he maintained. The tourna
ment builds community pride, un
ity and loyalty, not only in Salem
but over Oregon, Smith said.
In Its early years it had 7000 to
tal paid admissions; now it has
14,000 during the tournament
week and anore than 1000 were
turned away last year. Northwest
conference s basketball games this
year $howed an attendance In
crease of 203 per cent over those
of a year ago, and the trend will
continue, he predicted.
OtherjLltlfS Bidding
Other part" of the state are bid
ding or preparing to bid for the
tournament officers of the State
High School Activities association
are being pressed to move it
where mor accommodations can
be secured, and if Salem does not
want it, the tourney . should go
where it wfll be appreciated, the
speaker declared.
Willamette university has rear
ed it from a weak child to lusty
manhood and would like to see it
find a home in Salem, he main
tained, intimating that the uni
versity would help in securing
such a home although it does not
feel in a position financially to
undertake the entire burden of
building upon itself.
Keene, who now beads the
chamber's committee on i recrea
tion, was master of ceremonies
for the program, introducing vis
iting coaches and presenting Les
tle Sparks, Willamette's graduate
manager, with a brief lease in
which to "carry your troubles this
