WINNING TEAM
WILL BE SENT
TO UNFED
Silverton The Indians are com
ing to Silverton Friday evening wnen
the deciding game for the district
tournament will be played between
Chemawa and Silverton. This Is al
ways a good game and the deter
mination of both teains to win gives
promise of a better and bigger con
test than in past years. Silverton
holds a win over Chemawa in past
years for this annual meet, but the
players are new and Coach Davis
isn't malting any brags for his boys.
Chemawa players are fast and the
battle will be real.
A preliminary game starts at 7
o'clock and the main game at 8 at
the Eugene Field gymnasium.
As the basketball season Is near-
inn Its close, Silverton is surprising
ly on its toes. Coach Davis' boys
came from the cellar tc near the top,
winning their right to play Chema
wa for district honors, with players
new to the Job.

recently changed from No. 15. ruled

play did not prevent the freshmen
quint of Willamette university from
defeating Independence high on the
Bearcat floor Wednesday night 24

two foul shots In the first half and
it was not until the final period

visitors their first basket from the
floor. -

DALLAS PLAGES
TWO CAGERS ON
ALL-STAR TEAM
First Team Second Team
Lnne, Newberg. F Schwab, Silverton
Pleasant. Dallas. F. .Marson, Molalla
Webb, Dallas C Dapp. Molalla
Pengra, Lebanon G Standley, LeDan
Slyter, Molalla.. G Petre, Dallas
The 1934-35 all-star basketball
squad of the Willamette Valley In-
berscholastlc league, cnosen Dy tne
coaches of the eight league teams,
presents an unusually strong lineup
of players who have been outstand
ing throughout the season. Molalla,
league champion, and Dallas, runner-up,
shared honors by placing
three men each on the two teams
chosen. Lebanon placed two and
Newberg and Silverton one each.
In the forward position, Lane,
flashy Newberg captain, stood out,
especially in the last half of the
season. Lane led all forwards in
points scored, 127 In 13 games, and
has one game lert to play. He was
an important factor in Newberg's
comeback during the last three
weeks of play. This Is Lane's second
year on the all-league team, and he
was designated as captain of this
year's team.
Pleasant, Dallas, played very con
sistent basketball throughout the
season, and accounted for more than
his share of Dallas' scores. Schwab,
Silverton, led the league scorers for
the first two weeks, but was handi
capped by an injury which kept him
out of part of later games. He Is a
very accurate shot and could nolo
down a berth on any "high school
team. Marson, Molalla, played good
basketball throughout the i
and helped the Buckeroos a long
way toward their championship.
Other outstanding forwards were
Johnson of Canby, Gustafson of
Woodburn and Tuor and Elliott of
West Linn.
At center, Webb of Dallas, was
clear choice for the first team. He
led the league in scoring, with 136
points in 14 games, an average of
almost 10 points per game, and he
Dlaved an aggressive type of bas
ketball that put Dallas out In front
In a number of close games. Dapp
of Molalla was a large factor in
his team's successful season. Other
outstanding centers were Melum of
Canbv. Pfiefer of Newberg ana
Marsh of West Linn.
In the guard positions, there were
few high scorers, the guards devot
ing themselves mainly to defense
and feeding to basket shooters. How
ever. Pengra of Lebanon, and Sly
ter of Molalla, were always good for
several baskets a game, and acted as
key men on offense as well as de
fense. This Is Pengra's second year
on the all-league team. Standley,
Lebanon, and Petre of Dallas were
exceptionally fast ball handlers
well as outstanding delensive play
ers. Other outstanding guards were
Soecht of Silverton, Ohristenson of
I Newberg and Dahl of Molalla.
ly the visitors scarcely had an op
portunity to touch it.
The Coyotes went nlto an early
lead by virtue of some good shoot
ing on the part of Whelchel, Thomp
son and Freeman stretching their
advantage to 7 points about midway
through the first half. Two long
shots by Frantz which centered the
hoop, Manning's foul conversion, a
cripple by Petteys and a one-handed
looper by Lemmon put the Bearcats
out In front 13 to 13 at the half.
The Coyotes went into an early
lty to take advantage of rebound
shots so savagely did Frantz and
Erlckson charge in once Idaho let
fly. Both sides used a strict man to
to man style of play, resulting In
the maximum of action.
The win places Willamette in
third place in the conference. Whit
man, undefeated leader of the cir
cuit, with one of the strongest ag
gregations In years, will be here
Monday and Tuesday for a two
game series with the Bearcats.

BAMBINO ASKS
TO END CAREER
IN AOTJVi ROLE
New York, l!b. 21 ( Baseball's
biggest question mark, George Her
man Ruth, Is home again, but he is
unable to tell whether he will find
an acceptable job In the game he
has personified for more than a de
cade. Returning from a world tour that
combined business and pleasure and
re-demonstrated his tremendous pull
at the box off ice., the Babe readily
said he had no idea what he would
do this summer, although he scare-
ly could conceive the possibility tnat
no baseball Job would be open to
him.
Ruth gave few definite answers to
the rattle-fire of questions hurled at
him when his boat docked but out
of the conversation these points de
veloped :
1. He will not wind up his career
as a part-time performer or as
pinch hitter spending most of his
time on the bench.
2. His big ambition still Is to be
come a major league manager.
3. If he signs a contract with the
New York Yankees, It will be as a
regular outfielder.
"I'm so thrilled to get back home
that I dont know what I will do,
said the Babe. "It will take me
few days to recover my bearings.
"I don't want to leave baseball.
I'd be lost without it. I think I'm
entitled to a manager's job or a try
at it, anyhow. I don't think I should
be asked to sign as a player and sit
on the bench waiting for a chance
to pinch-hit, maybe once iu seven
days. That's something I don't In
tend to do.
"I don't know whether I could
play another full season as a regu
lar. That would depend upon how I
feel at the training camp, Even if
don't sign, I intend to go to St.
Petersburg to thaw out. I'm getting
so old now I feel as though I belong
there.
Money Is not the primary con
sideration with me now. I've got
enough to live on. But I want to
stay in baseball."
The next chapter In the Ruth sa
ga probably will come in a few days
with Ruth toting h "Informal"
contract to the offices of Col. Jacob
Ruppert, Yankee owner. That con
tract calls for a salary of $1 a year.
It was offered as a stop-gap until
the Yankees can discover Just what
Ruth intends to do.
The betting among baseball men
Is now at even money that Ruth
will sign another player's contract
with Yankees and hope that a man
ager's job will turn up beforo the
1936 season rolls around.
