largest percentage of follower
present session after session,
with the possible exception of
Junction City. . . This, despite
the fact that Salem was ont
of the title mnnlnr after the
first night, and played In the
moraine rounds the rest of the
way
BUI Mills of Medford doesn't
wsste time when he fouls 'em. . .
In the last game, Coach Bob
Hamilton gave his reserves
chance to start. . . But Mills
didn't stick around long. . . He
fouled out after 6:30 of the
first quarter. . .
Tournament fans don't know
how elose they came to seeing
part of a championship game
played with only four men. . .
All five of the Marshfield start
ers fouled out Saturday night,
and one of the subs had four
fouls on him when the game
ended. . . Close squeeze. . . -
Terry McCullough Is consid
ered the play-maker and brains
of the Coos Bay team, though
his 14-year-old sophomore run
ning mate at guard, Ron Bob
Ins, was the more popular with
the fans, and also made the all
star team. . .
Bob Altenhofen, a six-foot,
two-inch freshman, should be
a great hoopster before he k
through at Central Catholic . .
He impressed us greatly, and
with three year to go, wow. , ,
Certainly, Roy Seeborg did a
fine lob In developing the Cath
olics Into a state-title contend
er. . .
Sportsmanship of the players
and students alike was very
good throughout the tourna
ment . . A couple of time .'
Piluso did eject two lads from '
the game, not because they got
unruly, but because he was go
ing to' be darn sure that they
didn't get out of hand. ; . Most
other officials would have let
them off with a warning but
there Is no playing around with
Piluso. . .
Rufus Fox's pulpit, which he
uses to give his Hillsboro boys
the word during time outs, is
quite unique. . . And, for that
matter, so Is Ruf. ... He had
a fine team. . . Bob Frants,
the star of the first two nights,
was not up to par the last two
nights because of Illness, says
Ruf... . He played only three
minutes In the Bend game Sat
urday. Central Catholic deserves a
spray of roses for a very fin
dopebook sent ns, . . To our
knowledge, the school Is the
only one In the state that con
sistently provides the press with
Information (college style) for
all sports. . . Keep it up Cen
tral. . .
Lane County can well b
proud of Junction City's tourna
ment performance. . . Earl Vos
sen's boys played fine ball in
grabbing fourth -place honors.
Big Leon Keefe played the best
ball we have seen him play. .
The same for his brother Ken
ny. . . Jim McKay look like his
old self the last two rounds,
and we feel will make a fine
college hoop prospect. . . Char
ley Garner, a district all-star,
wasn't up to par In the tourna
ment. , .
Lebanon was the biggest dis
appointment in our books, with
Jeff a close second. . .' Mc
Arthur Court must be a jinx
for Bud Page's Lebanon kids. . ,
We know from regular season
reports that the Warriors are
capable of playing better ball
than they showed tournament
fans. . After all. they beat
the state champion Roosevelt
Roughrider twice, , ,
While the students, player
and adult fan showed no racial
partiality at the tournament, we
can't ay the same for a few
Eugene businessmen, unfortun
ately. . . We heard three or four
four Incidents Involving mem
bers of the Roosevelt team
where local establishments
wouldn't give the negroes serv
ice. . . It's too bsd that a tew
selfish people (thinking of
money In the pocket) have to
tear down even a little what
the efforts of hundreds of Eu
genlans have tried to build up
respect for Eugene as a host
basketball city. . . If there waa
a better basketball player, or
gentleman, on the floor In this
tournament than Jim Winters,
we didn't aee him. . .
One closing Hem. . . In the
final game, when Messrs. Bus
Blgham and Ray Beachel were
UUtatlng many fans with their
whistles, two members of the
local association ook their now
obsolete official cards and tore
them Into bits. . . "We don't
want to belong to the same out
fit with those guys." they said. . .

their own medicine Sunday.
The Yankees, always associated
with power, . watched the Reds
generate all of it Sunday as Cin
cinnati rode to an easy 9 to 2
victory, chiefly on the strength
of a grand slam home run by
Catcher Ray Mueller, and a three
run homer by Shortstop Virgil
Stallcup. Southpaw Johnny yan

Local Questions Reveal
Common Money Problem
"With Interest rates going
down, and living expenses go

"At my age, I ought to be all

bogged down! What shall I
do," . . .
"How can I
retire on in
come when all
my best invest

been called, and
my poor ones
are getting?
poorer?"
All these
questions have NORM LYMAN
been put to me
by Eugene residents not once,
but many times. And they re
veal that all these people have
the same money problems
the same money worries
"headaches" that are "stop
ping them cold" in their search
for financial security.
Fortunately, there li a simple,
logical solution to such prob
lems. And when they learn
about it, many of these same
folk say, "Why hasn't some
one told me befor that such
modem Retirement Income
Flans are available"
Wouldn't you like to know
more about these plans and
:how easily they can help you
get rid of money worries for
good? Wouldn't you like to
have a guaranteed monthly In
come beginning when you are
55, 60, or 85? Then send for a

Tony Ross, the Toledo Terror,!
absorbed a terrific beating from
Rene' Labell at the Eugene Arm
ory arena Saturday night, but
managed to hang on long enough
to win the "battle royal" title in a
swisational finish that had th
large crowd vibrating th rafters
with excited screaming.
It was a fitting climax to a hec
tic seven-man free-forrall in
which Ross and Labelle managed
to wade through all opposition
and then face each other in the
30-mlnute finale for a fat purse.
Ross managed to clamp a back
breaker on Labelle and win the
first and only fall in 20 minutes.
In the final minutes of the match.
Labelle gav the most spectacular
exhibition of drop-kicking ever
seen here and had the Ohio grap-
pler reeling from punishment
but Ross just wouldn't go down,
and the unpopular villain won the
verdict.
Here's how th other took a
powder:
Billy Weidner was th victim
of Ross smashed when h was
twirling Red Lyons with an air
plane spin. When Ross hit him
he went down and Ross pinned
his shoulder as Lyons Moots!

Jack Lipscomb suffered an el
bow injury when tossed to 1M
mat and another rival was throws
on top.
Sugy Hayamaki oam to Mi
end after giving virtually every
opponent a bad time with Jiu
jitsu. Eventually Ross and Lyon
ganged him and ousted th Je
matman.
Bill Sledge was a victim W
Ross' backbreadsr.
Red Lyons was a victim of La
belle's drop kicks with the aid c4
Sledge, who managed to ngag
Ross in fisticuffs outside the ring
while Labelle took car of Lyon.
Ross returned to aid his villain
ous mate, but too late.
That left Ross and Labtll la
th final.
In a preliminary match, Ban
Sherman continued to look like
"million bucks" when th dy
namic little mat master hammer-
locked Whltey Wahlberg into ub
mission in 22 minutes. Th Min
neapolis "strong boy" attempted t
even the score in the final eight
minutes, but Sherman's aggres
siveness proved too much.
