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.

foul conversions ran Benson's total
