THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM OREGON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1930 BEARCATS-COYOTES HOLD SWAY THURSDAY EVE PAGE TEN INVADERS HAVE THREE VETERAN Thursday evening, starting about 1A5 o'clock, basketball teams of Willamette university and College ol Idaho will play the first of their two game series. The second con test will be BtaKed Friday evening. And although the Bearcats have a decided edge, the games give prom ise of being much more hotly con tested than those played between puget Sound and the sons of Ja son Lee. Coach Ansc Cornell of the Inva ders brings with him three seasoned veterans O'Conner, forward, and Hutledge and Nickle, guards. Rut ledgc played here last fall on the Coyote football team. Idaho come here with a record of having 15 out of 20 starts this year, dropping a pair to Whitman Monday and Tuesday of this wee. According to reports of the first game at Walla Walla, Idaho showde a pair of one-hand shots in Nickle and Bates, the latter a freshman. The Coyotes brought with them a tall center, Jones, who lacks only a little polishing to be formidable In any company. Coach Keen of Willamette ex pressed disappointment in the show ing his men made against Puget Sound, but ftatcd he believed the two day rest they have enjoyed would put them In good shape again. Despite the fact that the Bearcats were taking matters with consid erable ease Monday and Tueiiday night, many persons who saw them in action expressed the belief that Coach Keene's quint is as good as any In the northwest. That noth ing Is radically wrong with the squad was indicated Tuesday eve ning when they scored 12 points In the space of a few minutes when the Loggers threatened to close the gap. The rejuvenated freshman squad will be seen in action again Thurs day evening when they engage a team from the state school for the deef. Thes Coyote starting lineup will probably be O'Conner and Bates, forwards; Jones, center, Nickle and Rut!edje. guards. Woodburn The closing pame of Wootiburn's basketball schedule will be played Friday nisht on the Wood- burn floor with Silverton, and as there is always considerable excite ment whin the Bulldogs and Foxes get together, this will probnbly be no exc?piion. The Woodburn plnycrs fhould be due for a win after a slump in which they have lost three liames -in Mircession. In the first liame with Silverton the Foxes were driven into their holes by the Bull dogs and every endeavor will be made to repeat this performance Friday night in spite of a heavy handicap of ailments with which the trm Is afflicted this week. Baldwin, the G foot, 6 center has a sprained ankle, A. Schooler has a bad case of boils and Chapelle is out of school with near flu. However, a strong re serve from the second team has been whipped into shape and Wood burn will meet Iwr o'd rival with a smile of grim determination. If the locals win, another game with Che tnawa'is probable. Independence A number of Rolf enthusiasts from this city have transferred their membership from Oak-Knoll to the lllihee club of Bale m. Anion these are C. W. Irvine, M. C. Williams, Dr. George Knott, James Robbie, C. O. Sloper. There arc others who will probably trans fer later as there are greater ad vantages and the course Is more scenic. The course is to be extend ed and there are splendid club house advantages that appeal to the nvernye golf fnmiiy. 'JIM WOODBUBN WILL PLAY SILVERTON mum v . M Garrison, Jockey xii M tttO M tdtf M Mi KM ' tW Recalls Race Track Days gM ' fctt fcoi KM 8 W Mf Hi' WO Likes Fator Best Miami,' Fia.' (AP) The blacksmith's helper in New Haven who rode to fame and riches in the sport of million aires and kings sat thumbing through a pile of frayed clip pings on the porch of his Miami bungalow. His eyes had a sparkle in them as he recalled thrilling finishes, the flash of thoroughbred horseiiesn down me stretch, and the roar of the crowds. These memories still are fresh to Edward H. Snapp?r Garrison, the man who made the "Garrison fin ish" an internationally famous by word. Thirty-five years and more ago, in the hey-dey of the Mauve decade, Snapper Garrison estab lished a reputation as one of the greatest jockeys the turf has ever known. The concensus is that no one since then has surpassed his all around ability and knowledge of how to handle thoroughbreds. . - Of the present-day riders, said Garrison: Laverne Fator Is the best In the United States. He has a good head and knows when to wait with a horse. Kt is a stronger finisher than Earle Sande and has a knack of holding- a horse together." Garrison was a regular In the saddle at the age of 16, after three years in ' Father Bill' Daly's "barrel stave" school apprenticeship at Hartford, Conn. The barrel staves were used to prod the Jockeys. At 10 Garrison owned and rode his own stable winning (62.000 in a year. At 26 in 1864, Garrison received a salary of - $23,500 as contract rider for August Belmont, James B. Hag gin, and Gideon Knapp. A year later he wore the silks of Colonel Jacob Rupert, now owner of the New York Yankees. "Garrison's finish," first was past ed to the great jockey's record in 1886 when he came lrom nowhere with an outsider, Dutch Roller, own ed by James R. Kenne to win the great eastern handicap at Sheeps head Bay. It stuck, for he never liked front-runners and invariably rated his mounts along to do his stuff in the stretch "where the money is." Garrison's most famous race, the one about which more fanciful tales have been written than any other, was his victory on Boundless in the S160.OOO World s fair derby at Chica go In 1893. On one pretext and an other, such as fixing his straps and saddle, Garrison helped delay the start exactly one hour and 42 min utes, spending most of this time on the ground, the weight off his horse, while others grew tired and impa tient. In a big field, Boundless, at IS to 1 was booted home by Garrison before 100000 spectators.- He was fined $1000 and gave his own fee of $1000 to charity afterward. JONES DEFEATS DES ANDERSON Henry Jones, Provo, Utah, wrest ler, successfully defended his welter weight title here Wednesday night when Des Anderson, local grappler, was unable to return to the ring for the third and deciding fall af ter having been knocked out as the result of a spin. Anderson secured the first fall af ter 10 minutes and 43 seconds, using a facelock to advantage. Jones broke a bone In his thumb shortly after the start of the bout and eri dently suffered considerable pain. Jones took the second fall of the evening after 25 minutes and 15 seconds when he threw Anderson to the mat with such force that the latter was knocked unconscious and was unable to come back after a 15 minut rest. The winner after the match com plimented Anderson for his fine sportsmanship. Cliff White and Ray Frisby wrest led three rounds to a draw In i preliminary match.

OREGON LOSES TO GONZAGA QUINTET Spokane (LP) Losing the lead shortly after the opening of the sec ond half, University of Oregon bas ketball team was defeated by Gon zaga 36 to 28, in a non-conference game here Wednesday night.

PARRISH HIGH TAKES TURNER BY 31-8 SCORE From the moment when Ellis, guard, converted two free throws after being fouled on the first play of the evening, parrish junior high held the upper hand Wednesday night and defeated Turner high school's basketball quint with ease, 31 to 8. It was a fast and furious contest throughout, with wild shooting nullifying a lot of oppor tunities. Bear, Turner center, shot the only field goal the visitors secured during the first quarter which ended 7 to 3 in favor of Parrish. The fast breaking tactics of Coach Brown's players proved too much for Turner during the second quar ter and the winners went off the floor during the intermission with' a 17 to 3 lead. Turner checked more "closely during the second half and held Parrish to fewer shots but their wild shooting tactics availed them little, for they scored but one field shot during this time. The final period was a series of races up and down the floor with each side blasting away whenever anywhere near scoring range. A preliminary between Parrish Trojans and Leslie Blackhawks went to the former, 23 to 3. Summaries: Parrish Kelly, 4 Perrine, 5 Brownell, 6 Ellis, 4 Slater, 8 Mosher, 2 ' ' Holt, 3 Referee, Ellis.

Portland still has a lead in the standings of the league, but its ad vantage was trimmed somewhat ear ly this week when the Bucks let Vancouver in for one goal which happened to be enough to win the game.

W. Norblad Thursday from which list the gover nor has promised to appoint a suc cessor to Charles E. Miller on the state game commission. The five men chosen at an open meeting of sportsmen Wednesday night were: Maynard Cole, Will R. Lewie, - H. E. Harris and Jack E. Cullison, all members of the Mult nomah Hunters and Anglers club; and Chester E, McCarty, member of the Portland chapter, Isaac Walton league. Placing of the name of E. J. Bla ser. who was understood to have been Norblad's choice for the vacan cy, was voted down by an assem blage after more than an hour 61 acrimonious debate. Last Sunday the word leaked out that Blaser was to be appointed to the commission. Monday an unof ficial committee of sportsmen vis ited Governor Norblad and asked that the organized sportsmen be al lowed to suggest a successor to Mill er. It had been apparent for some time that there had been consider able friction between the organized sportsmen and the present members ol the game commission. Norblad was said to have told the committee if the sportsmen of Mult nomah county would publicly select five men, each of whom is accept able to the sportsmen, that he would appoint one of the five. The meeting was called for Wednesday night and all sportsmen invited to attend. An official list of eight candidates was placed In nomination on a ballot. Friends of Blaser, of whom there were said to have been about 80 present, attempted to have his name placed In nomination from the floor. After long debate the meeting voted down the proposal, whereupon the eighty" were said to have bolted the meeting. The balloting proceeded with the afore-mentioned results. Into the acrimony of the debate on Blaser crept some of the ill-feeling existing toward the game com mission as a whole.
