SALEM, Ore., March 21. (U.R)
The big trophy representing the
19th annual stale high school bas
ketball championship was in Bak
er for the first time In history to
day after the Baker Bulldogs
fought their way to four victories
in the tournament which ended
here Saturday night.
The win that meant the crown
was chalked up against tiny
Amity, which won the state "B'
league championship two days
earlier, by a 27-18 score. It was
the first time either team had
reached the finals.
The contest was played before a
crowd of 2,500 spectators who
were packed in the Willamette
university gymnasium.
The Hard Way
Baker won the game the hard
way, pulling out of a 10-9 half-
time disadvantage with a third
quarter scoring spurt.
A game preliminary to the final
contest gave third place In the
tournament to St. Helens, which
defeated McLoughlin high of Mil-
ton-Freewater 30-16. University
high of Eugene finished fourth by
defeating Medford 41-34 Saturday
moming, and Klamath Falls nosed
out Woodburn 31-29 for fifth position.
University high produced the
tournament's outstanding player
in Leonard Gard, six-foot three
inch forward, who was given that
distinction by a vote of the
coaches. The latter group also
unanimously elected Gard as cen
ter on-the all-state team and made
him captain of the quintet.
Lane County Stars
Gard established a new tourna
ment scoring record of 80 points,
breaking the mark of 68 set last
year by Earl Sandness of Astoria.
The tournament's most sports
manlike player, also determined
by vote of the coaches, was Wen
del Coleman, Baker forward.
Lane county, boasting three en
tries in the classic, placed two
other players on all-state teams
Howard, Fox, Thurston' forward,
on the second team and also the
"B" nil-stars, and Burke Austin,
Eugene guard, on the second team.
The three teams Thurston, Eu
gene and University high placed
six among the first 15 high scor
ers. The top scorers follow:

Mat Moguls Seek
Tiile Bout Referee
The Eugene Wrestling commis
sion Monday had received the
names of four possible referees
for Thursday night's Pacific coast
middleweight championship match
between Champion Jack Lipscomb
and Challenger George Wagner.
Lipscomb submitted the names of
Noel Krnnklin and Bob O'Dowdy
as his choices while Wagner
names Harry Elliott and "Curly"
Donchin. It was believed, how
ever, that the commission would
pick an outsider due to the pro
test made against Elliott by Lips
comb following last week's fisti
cuffs. The champion claimed that El
liott "crossed"' him by awarding
a verdict in the favor of Wagner
after Lipscomb had allegedly
fouled his opponent. The belt
went to Wagner, but has since
been taken over by the commis
sion due to a ruling that prevents
the shifting of the championship
on a technical verdict.
In the meantime the two prin
cipals were in training for the re
match that attracted a capacity
crowd of rabid mat addicts last
week. Reserved seat tickets went
on sale Monday with the indica
tions that the S. R. O. sign will be
hung out at the Club cigar store
and Obak's Rainbow before
Thursday.
Eugene To Have
Baseball Club
The Eugene Drakes and the
Hills Creek Hillbillies will again
enter the State baseball league
for the 1938 season, according to
decisions made Sunday at Salem
where George Wilhelm of Eu
gene was re-elected president of
the circuit.
Other clubs definitely entered
are Bend's defending champions,
Toledo and Silverton. Other
teams tentatively entered are Al
bany, Salem, Coquille and a
traveling club from Portland.
Sweet Home, Woodburn .and
Reedsport have definitely dropped
from the league.
W. L. McGinnis of Silverton
was elected vice president and
Ray Brooks of Portland, secretary-treasurer.
$100 Guarantees Demanded
A second meeting wilt be held
in Albany Sunday, April 3, when
final action will be taken on
franchises and a schedule drawn
up.
The league voted to demand
guarantees of $100 from each
club to insure completion of the
schedule while $25 additional will
be contributed from each unit to
provide a fund for publicity and
incidental expenses. An expense
account of not to exceed $60 was
voted the president.
Frank Nelson, business man
ager for the Senators will investi
gate the possibility of placing a
Salem team in the league. Vice
president McGinnis Has offered
the use of the Silverton field for
all home games for Salem should
the latter decide to enter. Salem
has no diamond.
The Spaulding "Hardwood" ball
was adopted as the official league
baseball.
To I'se Fairgrounds
Eugene was represented by
Clyde Chilton, president of the
Eugene Baseball association, and
Manager Bill Greene. Grover and
"Bun' Kclsay represented the
Hills Creek team.
The Drakes have received the
assurance of cooperation from the
Lane county fair board and will
use the fairgrounds as an official
home park during the season.
Work on the field will start im
mediately and Manager Greene
expects to issue the first call for
candidates within the next few
weeks.
Hills Creek will play all home
games at Swimmers' Delight.
Burned Out Athletes Depends On Prep Training
By FRANK DOSSE
United Press Staff Correspondent
MINNEAPOLIS (U.PJ To keep
a young athlete from "burning
out,' it is essential that he nave
the .best of training in high
school, it has been discovered by
Dr. Anrcl Keys, associate pro
fessor of physical education and
head of the University of Minne
sota study Into the effects of ath
letics on the human body.
"Keving up of high school teams
Is probably dangerous," Keys said.
"although we cannot he positive.
It Is possible that all high school
sports are a liability. It is more
important lo have good training
in high schools than in roileces
and the present situation likely
ts tile other way around."
The scientist said that his state
ments were no indictment against
high school sports, but explained
that it merely means that more
care should be taken in training
young athletes. It Is a question of
the heart, mostly, he said: and
there is as yet not much accurate
information about effects of ath
letics on that vital organ.
"A great many liabilities at
tend artificial keying up of high
school players by a coach who
arouses their emotions to stir
their adrenal glands, "thus re
leasing abnormal amounts of fuel
to the body and stepping up heart
action. It is easy for the im
mature athlete to outdo capacities
of his heart in order to bring at
least second-half glory to his
school."
Dr. Keys pointed out that just
as the overworking of the heart of
a great race horse might "slow
him up" for life, an overworked
young athletic heart is the fre
quent reason for promising ath
letes to fail to develop along
promising lines.
They have "burned themselves
out" fn high school.
"Too many college boys bring
along a high school heart. A
heart that must provide energy for
20 or 30 more pounds," he said.
"Then the young collegian fails
to live up to the promise he
showed when he set a county rec
ord in the mile run."
The university Purvey is at
tempting to throw more light on
questions of this kind.

Buckaroos Out
Of Playoff
PORTLAND, March 21. M)
The Portland Buckaroos, even up
with Vancouver in the Pacific
coast hockey league semi-finals,
were out of the running today.
League President Fred Taylor
last night announced the semi
final victory had been awarded to
the Vancouver Lions, who will
open the final play-offs against
Seattle in Vancouver.
The action followed a contro
versy over the use by Portland
last week of Louie Holmes of the
Seattle Clippers to replace Chubby
Scott, who was injured. Guy Pat
rick, Vancouver manager, pro
tested Portlands victory claiming
Holmes had not played Scott's reg
ular position.
President Taylor said the mat
ter was referred to a vote of
league directors, who upheld the
protest. .
He said he had ordered the game
replayed, but Rowe had refused.
"I'm wondering if they (Seattle
and Vancouver) are playing for
the league title or for the cham
pionship of Vancouver," Rowe said
last night.
"There has been no decision in
the semi-finals. Portland and
Vancouver each has won one game
and has the same number of points
scored for and against. There is
no reason why Vancouver should
play as the winner of the semi
finals." He asserted that Vancouver had
offered to allow Portlands vic
tory provided the Buckaroos
would play without Holmes in
Vancouver tonight.
