the Aggies from Stillwater are not

Despite ballyhoo for . Brigham

in the National Invitational tour

aren't given much chance in their
quest for a grand slam. -
Coaches and sports writers feel
that either K-State or the Okla

to sidetrack the Utah club, which
also may be suffering from ex
tensive travel pains.
Strategists point to the fact
Kansas State, which opposes Ari
zona of the Border conference in
tomorrow night's opening tilt, was
performing at greater efficiency at
the close of 'the campaign. That

i MACARTHTJR COURT. Eugene,- March 2&-(Spedal)-Thl huge
arena was jolted by a shocking upset in first-round action of the State
Class A High School Basketball tournament tonight as the grudge
bearing Astoria Fishermen,! unleashing a magnificent rally, up-ended
the greatly favored Salem high Vikingsi 49-44, killing the Salem team'a
hopes for their eighth state hoop crown. ,:-
I The other first-rounder played tonight saw the strong Eugen
Axemen do as expected in whipping the Newberg Tigers, 60-40. i
. Further first-rounder today sees j Scappoose and Bend tangling
at 9 ajn. Central Catholic and Jefferson of Portland meeting at 10:13,
Klamath Falls battling West Linn at 1:45, Hills boro against LaGrande
at 3 o'clock, Milton-Freewater opposite Lincoln of Portland at 7:30
tonight and Lebanon vs. Marshfield at ,8:45.
I It was a fantastic final quarter! comeback by Matt Paldanlus
Astorians that broke the backs of a Viking quint voetd the state's best
in the final AP poll. ' :i j I-
I Harold Hauk's Salems iled throughout almost the entire first 29
minutes of tonight's hectic and ! surprising thrillaroo, even though
playing far below the form which had carried them over this foe and
that through the regular season. j
I The Fishermen trailed through th early stages. J- - !
I Then in that final quarter, with a fcO-point deficit burdening them,
the Fishermen suddenly exploded with a brilliant display of shoo tin i
and all-round play, topped by the jwork of Ron Smart and Paul
Gauthier, which staggered; the Salems and sent them reeling inttf
defeat and to the delight of the great bulk of the 8,328 crowd which
was att Astoria: - : i j . j ..
I The Astorians canned 11 of their last IS field shots including their
last five in a row as they swept from far back into the thick of title
contention in this mammoth basketball show. I
Salem's cause seemed 3afe enough as they rolled to a 18-8 first
quarter margin on the strength of their best stint of the evening.! Th
Viks had a 27-15 Intermission advantage and were on top, 37-27 when
the gun ended the third heat. ! f ' I
Little Larry Chamberlain, by far the most effective Salem per
former tonight, sparked the Vikings as they got off to a comfortable
early lead. The scrappy and hard-driving guard set the tempo of th
Hauk's fast-breaking attack and tossed in eight points as the Salerno,
gained their comfortable half time margin. Larry Paulus aided the
Viks with his backboard work. ! U . . t , , J I
The Capital city crew widened the gap slightly In the third chapter
on pair of buckets by1 Guard Elmer Haugen and one by Chamber
lain. Haugen's first, a long one from the side, jumped the Salent
margin to 11 points at 34-23, with! two minutes left In the third
Haugen's second field hit j put the Salems exactly ten points Up at
37-27 when the period ended. t 1 k
J But the real story came in the fii al eight minutes.
I Few in the arena would have thought the Viks were due to los
when Forward Bob Hazel dumped in a lay-up on the first play of th
la$t heat. That, made it 39-27 a bi$ 12-point advantage with littl
over seven minutes remaining In the ball game. . i i?
I But the Astorians, nursing a long-standing grudge because Salem
dropped 'em off the schedule this
The Fishermen tigntenea - up -defense
which troubled the Viks all
four Doints the rest of the contest.
s Snarked bv Smart and Gauthier J
hacking down that deficit.! Smart hit a quick seven tallies to lead the
Fishermen in a drive which" narrowed the count to 42-39 with 3:38
I The Salems were handed a blow at this moment when Mi plvotei
Wayne Walling left the game via

i Gauthier rang true with a gift sbjot as the clock showed 2:10 left-

I Larry Scheelar, filling in for Walling at center, gave the Salem
a boost as he canned a 'pressurized' J charity toss to put the Salems lit

i ! Gauthier, a 5-9, 150-pounder, thpn started the final Salem down
