SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 193E, CAGE CHAMPS HERE TONITE; W.U. DOWNS WEBFOOTS THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON BEARCATS SET FAST PACE TO 29 TO 21 A hustling aggregation ol Bear cat basketball tossers, fighting every second of the full 40 minutes checked in a 29-21 win over the University of Oregon Ducks last night. While Willamette's victory was something In the naturo of an upset, it had none of the "horse shoe" characteristics the Keenc men simply had the better team. Tonight at 8:30 Willamette will square away against Oregon State, northern division defending cham pions. Ability of Bearcat guards to hold Wally Palmberg, flashy Bcav er forward, in leash, is expected to be the deciding factor. With the exception of a short span of time just before the end of the half, Willamette held the lead throughout last night's contest. During the first six minutes the Bearcats collected seven points while Oregon failed to find the range. By the process of firing two shots to Willamette's one, Ore gon crept up and finally topped the Bearcats, 13-12. Anton, Wlllam ette's rookie center, high scorer, quickly put his team back In the running and from there on they were never headed. Willamette left the floor at half time leading 14-13. Continuing the fast break In the second session, Willamette widened the breach to 18-13 when Anton and Erickson centered the hoop in quick succession. Foul shots by Hoiirke and Liebowitz gave the Wcbfoots new heart. But it was of brief duration, for Anton, Gas tineau and Weaver ran up a string which the visitors could not check. Coach Hobson shuffled his players repeatedly, but failed to discover a combination which could trado bas kets with the Bearcats. Oregon made but two field goals during the second half, one by Rourko and another by Scott. The Webfoots appeared to grow discouraged as the game progress ed. They failed to follow their shots and when they did It made little difference for Erickson, Ver ateeg and the rest of the Bearcat crew stormed in to grab the ball off the backboards. tt was teamwork rather than in dividual endeavor which gave Wll lnmctte Its win last night.

'Slats' and 'Ike' Coach, Pupil Here Tonight Oregon State College, Corvallis, Dec. 21 When Oregon State's bas ketball squad Invades the Willam ette campus tonight, two former Salem high school stars will repre sent the college, earh in a different position one, "Slats" Gill, noted Orange basketball mentor; the oth- Ike Wlnlermute, sophomore, who will probably see action In the forward position. Much of Ore gon Stale's rapid advancement in basketball, as well as the' Orange men's magnetic attraction, may in a Inrgc way be credited to one man Slats alll, who in the last three1 seasons has coached the Orange men to one Pacific coast confer ence championship and two north ern division championships. Salem can proudly claim Coach Gill, for it was In the Capital city that he was born in 1901. His toys were basketballs. Grade school basketball was his principal delight. The tall, skinny youth with kinky blonde hair seldom was seen with out a basketball. His slim build and bare ribs presented his play mates with the idea for the nick name, "Slats." a title which is still his. Slats entered Salem high school in the fall of 1018. He went out for football, basketball and baseball, and to prove his ability as an all round athlete, he won letters In all three sports each of the four years he attended Salem high. He was chosen forward on the all state basketball team and received the additional honor of being chosen mythical captain in this third year at Salem. In 1020, his final year at high school, he was selected again for the all-state basketball team. That year Salem won the state high school basketball championship, due mainly to the spectacular playing of Slats mid his brother. Luke. 1 ep Diamonds.....

Shades of Jem Driscoll and Ted Kid Lewis were in Madison Square Garden last night as Jock McAvoy. middle and- light heavyweight champion of the empire, unleashed Skits and Scratches BY FRED ZtM.MKItMA.N Capital Journal Sports Editor Trying to compete with several thousand radios tuned in on the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, Isn't a very gooo. move toward reviving the box ing game In Salem. Yet that is the very thing sponsors of the fight vlval will go up against If they Insist on holding their initial program the afternoon of New Year's day at the armory. Interest In the big game at Pasadena is stronger than ever this year and unless the fans are stricken with deafness in the mean time, there appears little hope that the fights will draw enough to pay for one good set of gloves. A Joe Louis-Prlmo Camera battle might tempt the fans to shut off their loud speakers. But willing as they are. it isn't in the cards for Riggs and Cooper to create sufficient interest to offset the Mustang-Cardinal mix at the Rose Bowl. We would like to sec (lie right game prosper. Many fans have expressed the samo desire, hav ing grown tired of the grunt and groan business. Hut one might as well try to stop a windmill with a pea shooter as to com pete with the biggest gridiron event of the year. The old problem of selecting a bos- ketball squad should not be such a difficult one for Coach Keenc lo solve this season. Although far from being polished players, a half dozen Bearcats exhibited' sufficient possibilities against Drake and Ore gon to make the matter fairly sim ple. The affair with Oregon Stale scheduled for Willamette gym 8:30 Saturday night should assist mater ially . In clearing . up the situation. Following tonight's contest, Willam ette's gym will remain dark until January 3. "Spec" will dismiss his players with instructions to report back at that time prepared to com plete training before the confer ence season opens. Some of the California "inde pendent" schools might do well to follow the example of Univer sity of Idaho. Although the Vandals drew only four games when the Pacific Coast confer ence schedule was drawn up, they didn't squawk. Instead they got busy and lined up a list of 10 contests, all against good opposi tion. Idaho opens with Whit man September 26 and then plays on successive week ends, Washington, Washington State, Oregon. Nevada, Marquette at Mllwaukle, Wis., Gonzaga, Mon tana, North Dakota at Moscow and Utah State at Ogdcn. GAME POSTPONED Woodburn The basketball game which was to have been played be tween the Woodburn Cubs and the Canby F.F.A, team, was postponed until next week, due to the inability of the Cnnby team to secure a floor, This Christmas!

A fidgety fighter whose face drained white as he leaped from his stool at the opening gong, McAvoy sent Risko to the canvas with his first right hand punch. That punch was the beginning of the end for the Syracuse boy who gained his title, whlcn was not at stake last night, from Teddy Yarosz about three months ago. Risko, startled, climbed back to his feet without, a count. The Eng lishman, his arms flailing like a windmill In a gale, looped over lefts and rights that sent Risko stagger ing backward and finally down again for a count of six. The American went down three more times for counts of three, five and eight before McAvoy pinned him against the ropes and sledged him to the floor for the final count. Risko, who had climbed to his feet five times, made one futile gesture to rise again, as the crowd pleaded with him to get up. He couldn't make It, however, and he settled back as the referee count ed him out. PALMBERG SPARKS 0S0 OVER OILERS Portland, Dec. 21 (P) Wally "Lef ty' Palmberg scored 14 points to lead Oregon State college to a 36 to 32 win over the Union Oil basketball team here last night In a game de cided on the foul line. The Beavers reaped 15 consecutive foul conversions before Howard Ly man, sophomore sub. missed one. Twelve of the Beaver gift shots came in the first half during which they cagec. a single basket from ploy. The Oilers led 18 to 14 at the half. Palmberg and Cliff Folen, gangl ing six-foot-seven guard, found the loop in the second half and led Oregon Slate In a rahv to the fore. Clyde Wagner, center for the Port Inmlers, sank a fout shot which gave his team a 30 to 29 lead late in the game. Folen angled In a couple more and Palmberg scored again to put the Beavers over the hump in the final minutes of play. Moscrip Limited to 15 Minutes of Play Stanford University, Cal., Dec. 21 (IP) Stanford university's hopes of victory over Southern Methodist university in the New Year's day Rose Bowl game dropped sharply to doy because of the announcement that James (Monk) Moscrip prob ably would be unable to play for more than 15 minutes, if at all. Team physicians said a severe In jury to the star wlngman's knee had responded only slightly to continued treatment. Even with a leg brace, they said, he will be unable to play a full 60 minutes. Dr. Fritz Roth, squad physician, revealed Moscrip had lost 10 pounds through Inability to eat solid food. His Jaw was broken In the Stanford- California game and was braced and wired, restricting him to a liquid diet. .8 .9 5 9 m 8 4 4j 4J -5 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 In Boninetw for a Inn? tim 1901 """'" MIKULAK AND MORGAN PLACE ALL STAR TEAM New York, Dec. 21 (Pi The New York Qiants and Chicago Bears furnish three players each to the national professional fo o t b al 1 league's all star team, selected by the coaches and announced today.

RIGLER OF NATIONAL LEAGUE PASSES ON Philadelphia, Dec. 21 (Pi Charles (Cy) Rigler, National league um pire, died in a hospital today, He was 53. Rigler "called 'em" In more than 6100 games but never played In or ganized baseball. He started as an umpire in the Central league In 1904 and joined the National league staff in 1906.
