Lava Bears Win
By Close Margin
. Lava Bear hoopmcn were back
; in the race lor the Central Oregon
', hteh school basketball champion'
ship today as a result of their 39
i to 36 victory over me nigniy ia
; vored Prineville Cowboys in Bend
Saturday night In one of the clos
est and most rugged games piayea
here this season. The Bend victory
followed the loss of seven con
secutive contests and followed
32 to 18 defeat by the Cowboys
the previous night, on the Prine
ville noor.
' Four Player Benched
The unusually rough contest
restated In Officials Jim Howard
and Mure! Nehl Imposing a total
of, 46 penalties, greatest number
called here in a game tnis season.
Of this imposing total, 29 were
assessed against the Cowboys and
17 against the Bears. So rugged
was the contest tnat piayers on
one ocacslon were called Into a
huddle by the officials and duly
warned, and on another occasion
the battling Cowboys received a
personal plea from their coach, In
a timeout nuaaie, io quiet aown.
Ruggedness of the game was
largely, attributed to the closeness
of play, with the teams at no time
separated- by- more than five
points. Prineville lost three of Its
first stringers, Noble, Thalhofer
- and Henry, on penalties, and this
. considerably weakened the Crook
county squad that had to bear the
brunt oi tne nerce Bear auacK in
the final minutes of play. Bend
lost one of Its starting forwards,
Rasmussen, in the first quarter.
. Rrinevllle got off to a powerful
start and held a 14 to 11 lead over
the Bears at the end of the first,
quarter, as fans wondered If the
lowly Bears were due for another
fadeout. But the Bears came pacK
' strong In the second quarter and
held a half-time load of 27 to 22.
Bend s lead at. tne ena oi tne tnira
quarter had been reduced, to one
point, 31. to 30. .
Score Tied
: Several times In the final quar
ter the score was tied, but stellar
.shots by Moore, Smith and James
shoved the Bears ahead on, the vic
tory trail.
The Bend team that nosed out
the Cowboys last night hardly dis
played, the teamwork of earlier
games, but, tot the first time In
weeks, the boys were hitting fhe
basket. In 'act, the Bears at times
seemed to disregard some of the
basic principles of teamwork on
ottense ana, just, snot ana tne
shots were good when, noeded.
Two veterans of state tourna
ment play, Doug Wlrtz and Har
old Smith, were back In form and
accounted for a total of 25 points.
Smith made 13 of these and Wirtz
accounted for an even dozen. Hen
ry won- high point honors for
Prineville, with 11. Ho converted
five free shots In succession, then
dropped three free tosses.

By Jack Cuddy
(United Pr Suit Correspondent)
New York, Feb. 12 ilB We con
gratulate the Brooklyn college
faculty upon today's sensible and
courageous decision to continue
participation In "big time" basket
ball, despite the recent betting
candal Involving five of its play
ers.
The B. C. faculty will be criti
cized roundly by many educators
and athletic directors for its
stand: But it seems to us that the
Brooklyn profs carried out the
American tradition of refusing to
let scandal halt progress. Our na
tion would not be tops today had
its leaders in Industry, finance,
transportation rind even govern
ment done an about-face and gone
small time" wncn their enter
prises were threatened by dishon
esty of any other evil.
Brooklyn college s endorsement
of the big-time sport, as promoted
at Madison Square, Garden and
other -large tarenas, will be criti
cized by those who have beon cam
paigning to take the game away
from outside promoters and bring
it back to the campus. Leaders In
this back-to-the-gymnaslum cam
paign. Insist that only such a re
turn to the "small time" can cur
tall the current widespread bet
ting on basketball and prevent
crooked gamblers from trying to
bribe players to "throw" games.
. Whether the back-to-the-campus
campaigners are right, we do not
know. It must be remembered, In
connection with increased basket
ball betting, that wagering on all
forms of take-a-cimnre zoomed
remarkably in the United States
during the past 10 years. Betting
expanded on baseball, football,
boxing; and the "handle" on rac
ing hit fabulous figures. Even the
theaters and some church-social
organizations went In for the
bingo. An acompanylng increase
in basketball betting was only
natural.
It is true that wagering on the
hoop game may have been stimu
lated somewhat by the increased
publicity basketball received since
it began using Madison Square
Garden as a show window 10
years ago. Elimination of the
large arenas and their "double
header" games uprobably would
result in a let-down on publicity;
but we doubt that this would de
crease the yen for wagering
among confirmed basketball bet
tors, any more than the current
shortage of cigarettes has dulled
the desire for smoking among
users of the fag.
Anyway, the whole argument
seems nonsensical to us. It's like a.
controversy over whether, acci
dents would be eliminated if peo
ple quit using automobiles and
returned to tho horse and buggy;
or. whether banks should be closed
because the availability of so
much money tempts bank em
ployees; or-whether the movie In'
dustry should be forced to move
out of Hollywood because of. re
peated scandals out there. -

21 Bears Receive
Football Letters;
Twenty-one ' members of the
1944 Lava Bear football squad
were awarded letters in a. Bend
high school assembly this past
week end. Of this group, 12 will be
lost to the team by graduation or
induction Into the armed forces.
Nine of these boys were starters
on last falls successful eleven leav
ing Bear coaches with only two re
turning regulars.
The nine players who have
played their last game in Bend
uniforms included the all senior
baokfield of Doug Wirtz, Don
Ferguson, Jim Lammers and Phil
Brogan. Next fall's baokfield' will
have to be built of all green
material since only two. reserve
backs were barely able to make
letters.
Line weakened
From the line will be gone such
stalwarts as Bill Plath, George
Murphy, E. B. Hogan, Bill Higglns
and Roy Edwards. Also leaving
were the players who saw most of
the action in reserve roles.. In
cluded in this group are Ken
Blakely, Norman George and Bob
James.
With the Bears- laced with a
man power shortage last fall,
most of these boys were ironmen
playing throughout the season
without substitution. Most of the
returning lettermen that will be
on hand next fall will with but a
few exceptions be. without ex
perience.
Regulars Bade,
Practically all the experience
is centered in the line with reg
ulars Don McCauley and Lee
Relnhart the only members of this
years eleven to return. Both
these players were guards. Only
others who showed much promise
are Gerald 'Hogland and Bob Sut-

Hagg was committed to run In

event, Ferris said, and he will do
so even If he arrives only a.day or
so before the meet. If he. arrives
In time to get used to indoor
tracks, upon which he has never
run, he also will go In the mile.
Should big-time basketball be I days definitely In time for the
abolished to eliminate gambling?
The question is: What Is the best
method of curtailing betting and
crookedness In big-time basket
ball? That's the American way of
looking at the problem. It Would
be violating our traditions to send
the sport "back to the sticks," for
fear of gamblers. Major league
baseball did not send the national
pastime back to the sandlots and
campuses when the Black Sox
scandal rocked the sports world.
The baseball people went at the
problem in American fashion and
took steps to eliminate gamblers
not blg-tlme ball.
That's why we congratulate the
faculty of Brooklyn college. It
seems to us they have preserved
an American tradition under
fire.

Albany Coming
This Weekend
Local fans, particularly those
who hold season tickets, are re
minded that the games originally
scheduled with Lakeview for to
night and Tuesday night were can
celled and that the two games
played with Redmond on the past
two Tuesdays were substituted
for them. Posters which were put
out at the first of the season still
carry the Lakeview games as
scheduled for the first of this
week.
The Bears will play the Albany
Bulldogs on the local court this
week end In a two game series.
Vince Hanson led the Washington
State Caugers to a 65-43. victory.
It was the second straight win for
the Cougars who defeated, the
Huskies Friday night 48-34.
The Huskies never matched the
Caugers' 39-20 half time advan,
tage. Hanson's 34. points tied the
single-game scoring record of the'
northern division, set by Don Mc
