PAGE TWO THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1950 Sport Parade By Osear Fralcy (United Press Sporta Writer) Lava Boars Finish Season With Impressive Record; Ready for Sfate Tournament Bend's state tourney-bound Lava Bears finished their regular season schedule with an aggregate of 1,185 points scored in 22 games, while their opponents managed to chalk up only 924 tallies, according to figures released today by Coach Roger Wiley. . Of the 22 games, the sharp-shooting Bruins won 18 and lost four. In Big Six competition they won eight and lost two, finishing in second place a shade behind the pennant-winning balem Vikings. . Bend also holds a brace of wins over Redmond in the dis trict playoff. I-ost to Lakcvlew The Lava Bears failed to get revenge victories over only one of the four opponents who de feated them. In their fourth game of the season Bend dropped an encounter to Lakeview, 24 to 33, then came roaring back to drop the same team 64 to 30 later. Similar fates awaited Salem, which won a 70 to 48 mid-season victory over the Bruins and then was defeated later, 63 to 59, and EiiReno, whom Bend nipped 59 to 52 after dropping the first en counter 42 to 59. In the second game of the sea son Wiley's men were beaten by Jefferson high school of Portland 52-33. The Bruins didn't get a chance to avenge that one they only played the Democrats the one time. Salem Tunned Incidentally, the Bruins had the honor of being the only team in the Big Six to stop the Salem Vik ings in league play. The squad is currently prepar ing for its first game in the state tournament against Grants Pass next Wednesday, to be played at 3 p.m. at McArthur court in Eu gene. Wiley worked out his men at the new Kenwood gym last night and will send the boys through another stiff session there tonight. Coach Wiley reported that he would be allowed only 10 players' for the tournament. These have not been selected, he said, but Will be named by him the first part of next week. New York, March 10 U It was only a line in the notes which come out of the baseball spring training camps but they were 12 words which may prophesy a pennant for the surging Detroit Tigers. They said: "Charley Keller hit a triple, double and single in an i n t r a squad game." There was hope, in that brief sentence, that the burly King Kong of New York Yankee fame may have shaken the three-year jinx which has plagued him and caused his mid-winter release from the team for which he help ed win six pennants. The Yankees thought that Kel ler, at 33, was through. rom all indications, the broad-backed Maryland slugger had been com ing apart at the seams for three years. They remembered 1947 when Keller played In only 45 games be fore he was stricken with a spin al ailment and underwent a sac roiliac operation. There was doubt then that he ever would play again. Somo Speed Gone And It wasn't the old Keller of the murderous swing who fought his way back into the lineup in 1918. Some of his speed was gone and. he lacked that old power which so often sent the ball rock eting out of the park. Still he made the grade until he fractur ed his hand fielding a sinking line drive. Last year it was more trou ble, pulling a side muscle and be ing shipped back to Newark so that the Yankees could bring up an active player. Once again the indomitable man with the level brown eyes fought his way back to the big leagues. Yet for the season he ap peared in only 60 games and miss ed competing In the series. So the Yankees let him go and it looked as II King Kong was out for good. , " Rolfe Had Fait It But one man had faith that there still was some winning major league baseball in that sturdy Kel ler frame and that aggressive Keller heart. That man was lied Kolfe, once his teammate on the Yankees back in the days when Charley was breaking in and forg ing a reputation as a fearsome home run hitter. Kolfe has a good, young out field in Johnny Groth, 23, Vic Werlz, 25, and 29-year-old Hoot Evers. He also has a capable re placement in Pat Mullin. But he signed Keller with the observa tion that; "He'll add class to the club and help our youngsters to keep their feet on the ground." The Yankees, who thought that Keller was through, will be one of the favorites as they go out to do fend the world championship. The Tieers will he one of their chief threats. It would be poetic justice j if the man they tossed a w a y should be the one to beat them! ; Sportsmen to See Motion Pictures Deschutes County Sportsmen association members, at their monthly meeting Monday night, are to view three moving pic tures.

LA GRANDE PLANS POOL La Grande, Ore., March 10 tli' City Manager Ed H. Ford said today that La Grande's new swim ming pool will be dedicated as a war memorial when it is complet ed July 4. Cnnsir""tion started on the pool this week. Szasz, Cummings Win Wrestling Bouts at Armory Popular AI Szasz, Pacific coast iunior wrestling champ, and Sea side's Bob Cummings won their respective matches last night in the double main event on Tex Hager's wrestling card at the Bend armory. Szasz, who once wrestled as an amateur for the St. Louis A.C., took the third and deciding fall from his opponent, rough, tough Charlie Carr, of Shreveport, La., with a devastating series of jump ing headlocks and then a smash ing body press. The end came after 10 minutes of the third per iod. The first fall went to Szasz after 15 minutes with 'a double leg reverse grapevine. Cummings came rpanng Back to win tne second fall' in 8 minutes with a Boston crab which left Szasz groggy and reeling, bzasz out weiuned Carr 190 to 186. Strickland Injured . In the other main event, action ended abruptly after 23 minutes when Cummings pinned George Strickland with a crunching jack knife, which left Strickland in such poor shape that he was un able to answer the bell for the second period- The result of the bout brought loud catcalls from the crowd, which was clearly pro Strickland throughout the match. The special 30-mlnute opener between Eddie Williams, of Springfield, Mo., and Gentleman Dale Haddock, of Wayne, Mich., ended in a draw. However, the spectators cheered long and loud when Williams raised his arm after the match they agreed that it was at least a moral victory for the blond-haired strong boy. The fans were not at all pleased with the underhanded tactics employed by "the Gentleman" during the fast 30 minutes of action. Haddock, who once served as a bodyguard to the Ford family, outweighed the popular Williams, 188 pounds to 187. Additional Sports ! (Continued on Page 3) Bruins Favored To Win Opener From WSC Squad Los Angeles, March 10 IIP) Never a Pacific coast conference champ but frequently a southern division winner, the UCLA Bruins were five point favorites today over Washington State for the PCC basketball title.

They will play again tomorrow night and then Monday night If a third game is necessary. The PCC titlist also will win the right to represent the far west in the NCAA basketball tournament. Facing their toughest assign ment of the season, the fast breaking Bruins will be up against a first class exponent of a slow breaking, ball-control club. The Washington Cougars, northern division standard-bearers, also have considerable height advan tage. Ed Gayda Tops The northern team was molded this season around Ed Gayda, six foot, two inch lorward who weighs 210 pounds. He and center Gene Conley, six feet, eight Inch es tall, were the two Cougars named to the northern division all-star five.
