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.

committee was given assurance by
University of Oregon officials that
McArthur Court would be avail
able for the 18-team playoff. 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

from Corvallis, asking that the
tournament be alternated between

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.

gym at OSC, the committee has
offered the following proposal
that the tournament be staged
here until equally adequate facil
ities can be provided at some
other community in the state.
' 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

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.
The engineer, fleeing from en
raged passengers who wished to
lynch him, went to the police sta
tion in the village of Laranjeiras,
dispatches said.
All the hospitals in Aracaju.
975 miles northeast of Rio De
Janeiro, were said to be complete
ly full and more victims were ar
riving. Relatives of the passengers
waited in the station at Aracaju
all night and crowded telephone
and telegraph stations to obtain
news.
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.'
