-Psye 6 Eugene Register-Guard, Thursday, March 21, 1946 Eugene's Bid for State Hoop Tournament Site Discussed By DICK STRITE . The Eugene Active Club, through the support and coopera : tion of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, has offered the best facilities in the state as a site for future state championship basket ball tournaments to the Oregon High School Activities Assn. board of control. The proposal was made to the board at Salem during the state hoop playoffs last week, by Bob Cross, former Washington State College court star and president of. the Active Club here. It was learned at that time that Salem i had a proposal to provide more adequate facilities than the obso lete Willamette University gym, and that Astoria was making a bid In the interest of its USO pavilion.

The Igloo, scene of University of Ore gon basketball games, normally seats 7000 spectators, but can be boosted to 7800. Excellent Facilities The local committee was more concerned with playing facilities than seating believing that the fundamental purpose of the tour nament was to provide the very best for the participants and that not only includes the use of the main pavilion with its court, dressing, shower and training rooms, but also the adjacent physical education building with its two regulation basketball floors for practice and warmup purposes. Both Anson B. Cornell, grad uate manager, and Dr. Ralph Leighton, dean of the school of physical education, have assured Cox that the facilities could be used by the OHSAA at a mini mum charge lights and janitor service. The OHSAA would also be granted the right to full man agement of the tournament. Alternate Plan Anticipating a possible protest from Corvallis, asking that the tournament be alternated between here and the inadequate men's ELECTRIC HEATERS AND WATER HEATERS SIGWART'S Helping Hand Given Veteran By Red Cross A story from the files of the Lane County chapter of the Red Cross: A veteran, after serving in the armed forces for 25 months, and with a ten per cent disa bility, entered the University of Oregon shortly after his dis charge under the servicemen's readjustment act. He had rented an apartment for himself and his wife for $35 a month, and had incurred medical bills for treatments for his sick wife. GI benefits had been approved but he was in formed that his check for edu cation and maintenance would not arrive for two weeks. The veteran was failing in his class work because of nervous strain, and from lack of proper diet. After all necessary verifica tions were made, the American Red Cross budgeted the needs of this couple and a grant for emergency maintenance was given. These Red Cross funds made it possible for the veteran to remain in school, improve his work through proper diet, and to see his wife's health im prove also. British Expect Trouble When German Food Shortage Eases Bv TOM REEDY HANOVER HP) A senior milt tary government officer says authorities expect trouble from young, militant Germans in about a year or two when they are well fed, This high-place officer not to be quoted by name, told a reporter this is not a possibility out a De cided probability. "The werewolves are dead now," he said in an interview. "That is because the German is busy trying to find food. But it will not always be that way. "When Germany is better or ganized, when enough food is FOB FLOOD DAMAGE REPAIR Wire Fence - Barb Wire - Staples l Nails We have lust received a carload ol Fence Barb Wire, Staples, and torn Nails.

' There was one local faction proposing that if the board of control accepts the local offer, the tourney could be held here until OSC builds its planned hoop pavilion. At that time OSC would be allowed to hold the event for an equal number of years to the number of years staged here, and thereafter it would be alternated between the two state schools. Actually the local committee is interested only in seeing that the prep hoopsters of the state have the best facilities available for the playing of their annual classic. Salem Proposal It was rumored here that the Salem proposal for remodeling the state fairgrounds horse show arena has a catch. Although Salem residents are reported to be willing to underwrite the $60,000 necessary for the job, they will expect the OHSAA to repay them at the rate of $5000 per year in addition to a substantial rental fee payable to the state fair board. It was understood from a reli able source that the only hurdle to clear moving of the tournament to Eugene is the inevitable protest from Oregon State College. Eugene, with four major hotels and several smaller hotels and a great number of motels and rooming houses, has the housing facilities to care for state tourna ment participants and spectators alike. There would also be acconv modations ut fraternity and sor oriiy houses and dormitories on the University of Oregon campus EGG DERBY PORTLAND, Ore. U.P.

Brazilian Train Wreck Kills 200, Injures 300 RIO DE JANEIRO, March 21 W Dispatches said today ap proximately 200 persons were killed and 300 injured in a train wreck Tuesday near Aracaju, capital of the Brazilian coastal state of Sergipe. A locomotive and several cars of the train were re ported derailed. The train oper ated between the cities of Aracaju arid Capela.

OPA Increases Softwood Shingle Ceiling Price SEATTLE W) An increase of 30 cents per square in ceiling prices for mill sales of western softwood shingles in all standard grades, expected to alleviate the serious shingle shortage by per mitting several large mills to re sume operations, became effective today, the OPA district office said. Loggers have not been cutting cedar trees for shingles because of the low margin of profit, offi cials of the Red Cedar Shingle Industry, Inc., said. Today's action increases ceilings on No. 1 western softwood shingles, 16 inches long, to $5 per square. A square covers 100 square feet of roof. available so that a man doesn't have to spend all his time on that one problem, it will be cunereni." Expects Change He said he expected that turn of affairs In maybe a year, two at the latest. Some occupation officials fear ed there would be trouble over re duced rations, which went Into effect two weeks ago. "That will only intensify their search for food," the officer said. "And it will only keep them that much busier on the one problem. We have set up, of course, safety measures but I see no organized efforts among the Germans to cause trouble." The view is this: There are 50.000,000 Germans outside the Russian zone. The area never was able to feed more than 35,000,000. Imports must feed the remainder. Production Peak In 1947 By summer, 1947. it is expected that agricultural production' will be at its peak. That means that the great majority of Germans will be living off their own crops and they will know it. With a job, perhaps, and a full stomach, the Germans will have time to attend political meetings, to discuss among friends the polit ical future of the Reich. That's when the "hotheads" will speak up and the chances are they'll have a willing audience.' Boy Scout Charters Reviewed, Accepted Dr. C. H.
