Goering Says
Hague Warfare
Pact Outmoded
NUERNBERG, March 1S.-JP)-
Hermann Goering bluntly told the
international m;i;tary tribunal to
day that he believed the 1907
Hague rules of warfare outmoded
and argued that in modern total
war everything in seized areas,
even manpower, could be consid
ered conquerors' booty.
The judges leaned forward and
listened intently as the number
one nazi war crimes defendant
expounded his ruthless theory to
ward the close of his third day
on the witness stand.
Then, with a seme of dramatic
timing, Goering ended testifying
in his own defense with a quota
tion he attributed to Winston
Churchill "in a struggle for life
or death there is no legality,"
Goering declared the Hague
rules of war were conceived in an
era when "the army was remote
from the civilian population," but
that today "everybody fights, even
the child in a bombing raid fights."
Defending the German system
of slave labor, he said "the use
cf manpower is an integral part of
total war." At another point he
said,"if everyone else in Ger
many was working, why should
not the inmates of concentration
camps?"

With 3:32 left in the half, Eu
gene crawled it to 10-14, Love
lace finally canning one of his
hop-and-shoot specials from a
corner. Medford's scoring ace
Ross was also badly off on his
casts in the second frame. Eu
gene's Gene Miner, a hard-driving
guard, lopped three consecu
tive free throws near the end of
the period to make it Medford
14. Eugene 12, at the half.
Medford romped it to 22-16
early in period three asfcthe game
opened up, but then Ernie Wilde
of the Axemen lived up io his
name by touching up a scoring
spree of three straight lefthanded
baskets from around the key zone
edges to help bring it up to 26-25
for Medford at the third period.
Medford was weakened consider
ably midway through the frame
when high-scoring Guard Earl
SteUe fouled out.
Both sides exchanged free
throw upon free throw during
most of the fourth frame as Med
ford's defense was still stopping
the Axemen and the Axemen no-
you-don't stuff was dittoing the
Tornado. With four minutes left
it was 30-27 for Medford.
Lovelace, i with a whirling push
from a corner, made it 30-29 with
321 left, but then Carl Reich
laid up an easy on a fast break
to make it three points ahead for
Medford. Lovelace again for the
Hank Kucheras, however,; this
time with a snappy underslung
lay-in with 1:25 left, lie was
fouled en route by Watsons fifth
nfraction and proceeded to pot
the gifter to tie the count. .Wat
son's departure seemed to un
ravel the Medfords, for this hairy-
chested stalwart had played him
self another very sharp ball game.
Helter-skeltering basketball en
sued as the clock ticked away,
and in the thick of the scrambling
Miner was fouled with :50 left
to go. He calmly tossed it true
to give Eugene her first lead of
the thriller, and a lead that the
Axemen kept.
With :4.1 lrft to co Bis Rlggs fouled
out too, Eugene taking the ball out
of boundi. Ross or Medford sot in i
do-or-die shot when a D" wai in
tercepted. but the try that could
have aewed up the game miseed by
half a hair from 23 feet
The Washington - Central catholic
struggle was one for the books. Cen
tral led nine times throughout, Wash
ington six times and it was tied thrice
morel And at times tt appeared as if
the Harry Scarff Catholics were Jut
far enough ahead to salt it away.
But they had returning Aii-feiaier
Bob Lavey to contend with, and he
nrovMl tooo much to handle. With four
minutes to go and the score 35-32
against him, Lavey merely scored sev
en roint to win the ball fame I
Tills answer to a collcre coach
Rraver. and eavily the best ballplayer
l the 27th tournament, first lopped
fast one-handed push shot while
breaking across the key. Then he tied
the score with a weaving drive to the
bucket for a lay-up. Almost before
the Centrals knew what hit them he
set himself at the 20-foot mark, aimed
and turned loose another one-hander
for a 38-38 lead. Then to cap it all he
potted a gifter on a foul with 86
seconds left to salt 'er away.
For The second night in their three
outings the Hal Hatton favorites had
to come from behind to win. But they
again proved they are the champion
by doing Just that in championship
style. It took a rally to beat The Dalles
Wednesday and it was ditto last nignt.
In each instance it was Lavey, Lavey.
Lavey and Keller who did it. The
party of the second part, firnt name
Jack, has been giving with the sup
port but beautifully all this tourna
ment with ; his Ions arching clutch
buckets.
