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. Mo
shcr. Manning, Anton, Versteeg,
Erickson, Weaver and Kelly con

FIRE, OLD GRADS
WIN 31 TO 20
Playing a good floor game, but
displaying timidity when It came
to casting off, Salem high school
baskctcers dropped their first clash
of the season last night, 31 to 20
to an aggregation of former red
and black stars.
Little "up and down" the flon
practice had been engaged in by
Coach Huntington's cagere and tnis
is believed responsible for the re
luctance to fire. A little more cx
perience will overcome this handi
cap.
With Kellcy and Sicgmund being
particularly "hot" the alumni grab
bed an early lead which was main
tained throughout.
Other than practice sessions dur
ing the latter part of the Christ

'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

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.

Risko of Syracuse, N. Y world
middleweight champion, and knock
ed him out in 2:48 of the first
round.
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

team here last night In a game de
cided on the foul line.

they cagec. a single basket from

half.
Palmberg and Cliff Folen, gangl

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

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-

did not change for about five min
utes. Silverton reclaimed their lead
and was from then on nevel
