THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1930 SALEM HIGH PLAYS AT CHEMA WA SATURDAY NIGHT PAGE EIGHT BOTH QUINTETS REPORTED FIT FOR STRUGGLE Two team which are rivals in every sense of the word will meet Saturday evening when Salem high and Chemewa Indian school basket ball quintets meet on the Indians' iloor for the first of their two game Aries. Coach Downey of Chemawa stated Saturday morning that his team looked better thie week than at any time during the season and that if his players were defeated It would simply mean that Salem had the better team. Apparently a great deal depends on Simmons, the fast Che mawa forward. "If this boy is on Saturday evening Salem will have a hard time beating us," was Dow Die's comment. Salem has been an in-and-out ag gregation this season, playing like champions one evening, only to look like a bunch of dubs the next. How ever, since the Indians are foes of long standing, persons who attend the game Saturday night should see ft worthwhile battle. The Indians, seemingly tireless, pass the ball with bullet-like speed and maneuver with whirlwind ra pldlty. Their shooting luck has been none too good and that is where Sa lem may nold the edge. The latter, playing a more deliberate, although speedy game, apparently get in bet ter position before taking a Shot. "B" squads of both schools will play a preliminary starting at 7 o'clock, with the main game follow ing immediately. The starting line up for the main game will probably be: CHEMAWA SALEM Simmons Prettyman Marsden Vlvette Miller F P C O . a Kitchen Bone Oraber Banford Sachtler BULLDOGS AGAIN BEAT SILVERTON Woodburn In an exciting nip and tuck basketball game wood burn was victorious for the second tim ethis season over Sllvcrton Friday night on the Woodburn floor by a score of 19 to 16. The game was mostly defensive, with long shooting by Sllverton. Two men were taken from each team on personal fouls. Woodburn fail ed to play up to their usual stand ard due to Illness of several play eds during the week. At the half the score was 13 to 6 In favor of Woodburn and In the last quarter Sllverton managed to get just one point behind her enemy as the scroe stood 17 to 16. Woodburn kept the lead however and chalked up two more points at the end of the game. The audience was on Its toes most of the time. This completes the regular sche dule of the season.

Spears Departs For Oregon After Rousing Welcome in Portland Portland (AP) Dr. Clarence (Doc) Spears, new Uni versity of Oregon gridiron mentor, left for Eugene Saturday with battle cries of a half dozen and Dartmouth ringing In his ears following his reception here Friday night at which more than 1.000 cit izens of Oregon gave him a rousing sendoff.

"Doc" Spears was introduced by Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president of the University of Oregon. . The new mentor paid tribute to Cal Young, Oregon's first football coach, who previously told of or ganizing the first squad and end ing the year with an intact 1000 percentthrough a record of one game, one victory. Dr. Spears spoke on football for its own value, rather than an at tempt to mask It under far-flung phrases or returns to the state by publicity and character building. He said It was Impossible or any coach to instill fight Into men but that the fight inherited by men from the community In which they were reared, often was aroused on the football field. TROJANS APPEAR WINNERS IN SOUTH Los Angeles UP) With the south- em division of the Pacifis coast bas ketball title all but within their grasp, the University of Southern California basketball quintet Satur. day is primed for its climaxing game wltb. the Bruin cagestera from the university of California at U An geles.

The game which will be played on the Parrish floor will probably be one of the most hotly contested of the season, with the locals confident that they will be able to turn the tables on. the ia vaders. s Parrish lost by a small margin early in th season when it invaded Silverton. An overtime, period was necessary to decide the contest. Since then Silverton has given Ore gon City one of the few beatings the Clackamas county squad has re ceived. The last few games Parrish has played, the players have not been forced to extend- themselves, and should the contest Saturday night oe close, wnwii probably will be the case, spectators should witness one of the outstanding cage classics of tne year. In Brownell, Ellis, Kelly, Perrine, Slater and Mosher, Coach Frank Brown has one of the speediest quin tets in the Willamette valley. They have often been handicapped by lack of heft and size, but this has re sulted merely in spurring them on. biiverton played ft tough game with Woodburn Friday nieht and may be somewhat weary from the eriort. woodburn managed to win the contest by a close margin.

The game between Monmouth and Dallas, which resulted in a 26 to 23 win for the former, was a hard fought affair, with Dallas leading throughout the first hall.

The teams tied again at 20-all, then Monmouth succeeded in putting the game away.

(lP-Clyde Wil liams, farmer of near here, found the bathtub useful In saving the life of a froien calf. Williams went to his barn and found a new ly born calf so badly frozen that It was almost dead.

As great as thry came when he was fighting such fellows as Benny Leonard, Freddy Webh and Hilrhie Mitchell a decade ago. White believed until Friday nirht that he could be the rxeeption. But young Henry. Perlick, one of the twins, knocked him out in two rounds to demonstrate that once a fighter, no matter how great, hangs up his gloves, he'd better leave them on the wall. AKERS TO BOX GRAHAM HERE WEDNESDAY Promising a battle through every one of the ten scheduled rounds. Art Alters. Salem southpaw, and Eddie Graham, Portlander, who is also considered home talent, have signed their names to the dotted line for the main evtnt In next Wednesday's fight card. Akers, as eveyrone knows who has seen him in action, carries a dyna mite wallop. He has been over matched and out-weighed in vir tually every scrap he has appeared in here, but neverthless has car ried on. Graham Is almost as well known here as some of the home town boys. He has shown twice against Teddy Fox and returned from the south this week. The re-matching of Jackie Woods and Jackie Wattenberger is causing more tongues to wag than any event in weeks. These two youngsters put on a slashing bout four weeks ago. The result was so close that the fans were about equally divided on opinion as to who had won. The six round match of the two lads Wednesday night should go ft long way toward settling the argument. Three four round matches will complete the card. PENINSULA ACES DEFEAT W.U. FROSH The long range shooting procliv ities of the Peninsula Aces of Portland stood them in good stead Friday night when they met and defeated the Willamette university freshman quintet, 26 to 23 in a game that hard fought through out.

RADIUM PAINT ON ROADS Paris LP) To keep motorist on her highways, It has been suggest ed the trees bordering France's main roads should be painted with radium, or some phosphorescent material. In some parts of France the trees at crossroads are white washed to make them stand out during the night, but now the mo torists are asking for Illuminated, radiums painted routes.

JOI WILLIAMS LOTTERY HELD FOR PLACE IN HOOP TOURNEY Although the Identity of the teams which will participate in the state lnterscolastic tournament which wiU be held at Willamette univer sity, March 19, 2d. 21 and 22, are not known, for the most part, the draw ings for positions were held Satur day morning by members of the board of control at the Portland hotel. Decision to hold the lottery at this time was reached Friday afternoon at a conference held be. tween John R. Gary, president of tne board, and coaches Spec Keene and Leslie Sparks of Willamette university. The Portland drawing, of course, was by district only. The full list of teams which will journey to Sa lem will not be known before Sat urday evening, March 15 owing to the fact that some districts are holding tournaments that week end Gary was strongly in favor of "seeding" the two Portland teams and the two representatives from District 7. Salem is Included In the latter area. The "seeding" would only extend insofar as it pertains to the upper and lower parts of the Dracsets. me reason lor this be ing that if left to chance the two Portland teams might be pitted against each other right at the start of the tournament, thus less ening the interest in the affair. The same holds true of District No. 7. The four teams after being seeded would take their chances in the lottery the same as other squads. sentiment at ne Fridav confer ence seemed to be that interest in the coming tournament throughout the state Is stronger than usual. There is a possibility that sale of season tickets for students and ad ults may have to be limited owing to the demand for the ducats. FRUITLAND AND CHRISTIAN WIN Furitland and the Christian quin tets won the first rounds of Church basketball league championship play at the Y. M. C. A.
