THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1931 SALEM ENTERS FINALS BY DEFEATING BENSON HI PAGE EIGHT SECOND HALF DRIVE PLACES LOCALS AHEAD Salem high advanced to the final round of the Oregon state Inter scholastic basketball tournament when It came back in the second half Friday night to defeat Benson 25 to 18, thereby eliminating the last chance of a Portland team for hoop supremacy In 1931. The local squad will lace the strong Pendle ton quint at 8:30 o'clock Saturday night In the final contest of the season. The first half, which ended with the red and black holding a two- point lead, found the two teams battling on virtually even terms, al though the locals were taking the tip-off on nearly every play. How ever Coach Huntington's men, try as they would, could not roll up a score during the liret hectic lb min utes. The ease of play and the grace of movement which has character ized the efforts of the locals all sea son was lacking, but after the In termission they found themselves to take a commanding lead during the second period. Benson, seemingly unable to penetrate the defense of the Salem squad, finally in despera tion, took to the overhead route with McLean, the Indian forward of the Portlanders shooting every time his fingers grasped the big leather ball. Two of his efforts were successful. Trux Foreman, playing guard for Salem, suffered a badly bruised leg when he fell against the scats at the west end of the gym after drive down the court He continued In the game but Saturday morning was limping badly. Courtney scaured the first counter of the evening when he s?orcd on an out of bounds play. Woldt, who played a fine game for the Port landers sent the Portland rooters into roars of applause when he bat ted In another field goal to give Benson a 4 to 0 lead. Kitchen start ed the scoring for Salem after his crew had taken time out by con verting the only free throw of the evening for the Huntington men. Then Salem started clicking mo mentarily and Sanford counted twice In rapid succession. Woldt scored to give Benson a 6 to 5 lead at the quarter. The Tech men Increased their ad vantage to three points when Woldt scored from under the basket. Fore man and Kitchen put Salem ahead to 8 and from that point on the locals were never headed, although the score at half time was 11 to 9. Coming back onto the floor after the intermission with white Jerseys on their backs Salem's teamwork began to function. Their plays, tlm cd to an exact hair, worked perfect ly with the result the score began to mount. Tie Benson players, checked in every effort to penetrate the red and black defense, seeming ly were at sea. They fiddled with the ball In mid-court, lost valuable time In fruitless passing bark and forth and often lost the ball after banK'in-r away at the backboard. Grabcr scored ti.? two points whkh Salem added to its score dur ing the third period, while Wiese. with a field goal and Woldt on two foul conversions ran Benson's total up to 18. Poid shooting was seemingly Im possible for Salem for they made good on but one attempt out of 9.
